Save Me

Chapter 14

Important A/N at the end of the chapter ☻ and this is also unedited for now.

I'm what's missing from her story.

It makes sense. She told me when we first met that she hated me because I was part of what made her the way that she is. She's given me hints to it so many times, but she's never told me exactly what I did to her. All I found out is that she knew when my friends and I talked about her. That can't be it, can it? It has to be something, at least.

By the time that train of thought ends, I'm already calling Ariana. She picks up the phone after a few seconds and groans.

"Haven't you heard of texting?" she asks.

"Yes. Okay, I have a question."

"I probably don't have an answer for you. Can I go now?"

"No, no. There was something missing from your story. Why did you leave me out?"

"If you were that important, I wouldn't have left you out. Obviously, you aren't that important in that situation."

"It doesn't make sense!"

"What doesn't make sense, Harry? What doesn't make sense to you?"

"You got bad; really, really fast. You got depressed really quickly. Ari, I don't remember that many people talking about you at first. It didn't get bad until just recently and I know that. You told me that you cut for the first time, three months ago, was it? By then you were already convinced that you deserved it. When was three months ago in your story?"

"Harry, you're not making any sense. Goodbye, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ariana, wa-"

Of course, she hangs up. I throw my phone on the bed and run my fingers through my hair; pacing back and forth in my room. When Ariana doesn't want to say something, she won't say it. I guess I should know that by now.

I'll have to get it out of her tomorrow. I'm hoping that she'll be cooperative this time, but I doubt it. She'll probably act like she has no idea what I'm talking about, just like she did when I brought up the fact that she kissed me. That still doesn't make any sense to me, either.

It's almost like she can forget things if she wants to, or she's just a really good actress. But that's what's got me thinking that she didn't want to forget her past in the first place. She's 'forgotten' things that she's done in the past week, but refuses to forget anything else.

She's too convinced that this is really what she wants. She hasn't even given herself the chance to forget the past. Deep down inside, she wants to. I know that she just wants things to go back to the way they were. She doesn't want to die, she just feels that it might be the only way to get away from her problems. It doesn't help that she's naturally stubborn.

I don't completely understand what she's going through, but I know the half of it at least. She's been through a lot but there's absolutely no reason for her to die. She's a good person when she wants to be and she doesn't deserve what she's going through. I guess there has to be bumps in the road for everybody at some point. Some worse than others.

So, now I have three days to fix her and all of her problems. It seems pretty impossible, seeing that I've still gotten nowhere after four days. A few times, I thought she was starting to get better, but then I said one wrong thing and she was twice as worse. I'm starting to run out of ideas, honestly.

I just need to know what exactly could fix her. I've tried the small things in life, earning her trust and becoming her friend. So far, none of those things worked. That was my original plan, so I guess it's time for Plan B.
