Chapter 40

~

~Marcus' POV~

Now I stood in front of Anna's house door, all giddy that I would get to see her after a month.

My brother had sent me on an errand for him which took me too long to complete since it was in another town.

I rang the bell and waited for somebody to open the door. When the door opened, a very serious Timothy faced me.

"Hey." I greeted. "Is Anna home?" On the mention of his sister's name, he looked worried.

"Good thing you came. Come in." He let me in and closed the door behind me.

"You look serious. What happened?" I finally asked.

"Its about Anna. She has locked herself in her room. I don't even know if she's eating anything or getting any sleeping. She never comes out of her room and when we knock on her door to even get a slight clue it seems like she's dead in there. Its been 9 days! Please do something about that. Maybe she'll listen to you if not us."

What?

"Alright." I nodded and ascended the stairs, immediately. The thought of the girl I loved being in any sort of trouble hurt me.

I walked to her room and knocked on the door. No response. Not a surprise. I knocked again but this time I heard some sounds like she just moved in there.

"Anna. You in there? Open the door." I called. No response again. " Please?" Again. I decided to just bust open the door but thought about knocking another time. "Anna. Open the door. Or I will open it myself." I threatened.

Who were I kidding? She never feared anything.

"Alright. I'm coming in!" I exclaimed and pushed open the door. My jaw dropped, my eyes widen and my anger rose.

There sat Anna on the floor with a cutter in he hand ready to pierce her skin. Not to mention a bulk of syringes and small bottles, of maybe drugs, scattered around the room. She looked skinny maybe because of lack of food and the dark rings under her eyes indicated her lack of sleep.

I strode to her and yanked the cutter out of her hand, throwing it out of her reach. I grabbed her collar and shook her violently.

"What the hell do you think you were doing?!?!" I was way beyond angry now.

How can she do that?!

She looked up at me but didn't say anything. Her eyes were dead. No emotion. I shook her a little more to get her back to her senses.

"Say something!" Nothing. " Answer me!" Something in her sparked.

"Get away from me!" She tried pushing me away but my grip was hard.

"You answer me first!"

"I don't have to answer you! Who do you think you're?! Huh?!" Her voice was coarse. It pained me.

"Just tell me what's wrong so I can help you. Anna. Please." I pleaded, loosening my grip and sitting down in front of her.

"You can't help me. There's nothing wrong." She replied quietly, looking down.

"Where did you cut?"

"I didn't." She was lying obviously.

"The truth."
