Taking A Step [A Bajan Canadian Fan Fic]

Chapter 8

I locked the door after getting a chair from the bathroom and a tie from Jerome's room. Looking up at the ceiling fan, I tied the tie onto it.

I have to go through with this. There is no other option...

But I couldn't. After a couple of minutes of standing on the chair deciding to tie it around my neck or not, I dived into my bed. I, Maddiline Acite, am a failure.

My eyes stared outside, waiting for something exciting to happen. I counted the stars as I waited, the most I counted to was fifty seven until my phone rang.

"Maddie?" A voice, Mitch's, asked! I couldn't speak. He is alive! "I'm sorry for running off, I was just afraid you would yell at me for kissing you. It will never happen again, I promise. My girlfriend and I got back together." I heard the misery in his voice, like he was being forced to say it. My heart broken.

I want you to kiss me! I want you to be my boyfriend!

Is what I should have said. But what I really said was just... Ugh. "It's okay... Well, I hope you are feeling fine. I know I am not, just tried to commit suicide, you know. Bye." I quickly canceled the call and threw a pillow at the wall.

About two hours later, someone knocked on my still locked door. "Maddie, is what Mitch told me true?" Yelled Jerome.

"I dunno." I said lifelessly like my soul has been sucked out of my body.

Jerome tried to open the door. "Please unlock the door, Maddie!"

I loudly sighed, getting up. While pushing the chair over, my feet crossed which lead me to falling.

"It's open." I unlocked it, planning to get hit in the face with a door. But nope, I was an inch off.

"Maddie..." Jerome's voice trailed off as he wrapped his arms around me. I started to cry into his shoulder. "Please don't try this again, Maddie. You are the best sibling anyone could have." Jerome started to cry along with me.

"Is Mitch really back together with Lilly?" I sniffled.

"Yeah, it wasn't his choice though. She made him." Jerome sighed as he got up from the floor. "Let's get some ice cream."
