Keira's Life

Keira: Chapter 3

I woke up with my head on the bathroom floor and I heard the front door shut, I pain shot through my head and I looked at the empty pill bottle across the floor and the pills scattered around it and my eyes started closing again.

'KEIRA?! KEIRA ?!' I heard Ricardo shouting up the stairs but I felt too weak, I couldn't move properly and my throat was dry, I had the urge to be sick but I couldn't get up. Just then the bathroom door opened and Ricardo came in but froze once he saw me laying there.

'Keira?! What have you done now babe?' His eyes locked onto the empty bottle and then he slowly started shaking his head and knelt down next to me.

'I'm calling an ambulance.' I shook my head and he ignored me and called for them anyway, now they would notice the cuts on my wrists :/. I slapped his phone out of his hand and it fell onto the floor.

'I said no.' I croaked out and tried clearing my throat.

'Keira, you need help and you said you'd let me help you.'

'Yes YOU not anybody else, don't get anyone else involved Ricardo because they'll put me in a mental place, I know they will.'

'Key, you don't know that. You just need someone to come and check on you, when I went out I went and looked if I could get a psychiatrist.' I rolled my eyes and slowly sat up.

'I don't want one! I don't need one!'

'Please Keira, I leave you alone for half an hour and I come back home and you've nearly tried to overdose? You need help and I'm being serious.' I shrugged and he cleaned up the pills off the floor and helped me stand up. I felt a slightly dizzy and like I wanted to be sick, he laid me down on his bed and kissed my forehead.

'Get some rest, I'm just gonna go see if my sister is alright and I'll be back.'

'What's her name?' I asked.

'Tiana, she knows you're here.' I nodded and he left the room. I played with a strand of my hair and looked at my phone wondering whether or not I should call home to tell them I'm okay, but what good would that do? I didn't need Trevor finding out where I was because I knew what would happen. I picked it up and scrolled down to my auntie's number, I was tempted to text her what had been going on but something was stopping me. I put my phone back down on the side and Ricardo came back in the room but this time with Tiana following behind him, she was so pretty. She had dark brown bushy afro hair and big brown eyes, she looked like Ricardo but instead she was a bit lighter and had dimples. She smiled and waved at me, I smiled and waved back.

'Tiana, this is my good friend Keira she's staying with us for a while so make her feel welcome yeah?' Ricardo said to her and she nodded.

'Are you hungry Keisha?' I laughed.

'No thanks and my names Keira not Keisha.'

'Oh, sorry I'm going to watch tv now.' She waved and ran out of the room, Ricardo raised his eyebrow and closed the door.

'She's odd but don't worry bout her.' He said and laid down infront of me, facing me. I smiled and he played with my hair.

'Your hair smells nice.' He said.

'Thanks, erm ... you smell nice.' He winked and I laughed. I could lay here for hours just looking at him and I wouldn't get bored, it was strange because I hadn't felt like this before, infact I was filled with so much hurt I didn't think it was possible for me to feel like this. His hand held my chin and he brought his face closer to mine until our lips were gently pressing against each others. He pulled me nearer to him without our lips parting and he opened my mouth with his, the door burst open and Tiana came running in I quickly moved away and Ricardo screwed.
