Paul

2 hours, it took me 2 hours to get to Clara's house by bus. I got there and found everything closed so I took the key from under the small rock by her treehouse. I then entered the house and found a note on the mirror at the entrance of the house.
 "Clara, we will arrive on Monday, be safe. With regards, mom and dad."

I looked at the phone and saw that it was tuesday. I then moved to the living room, there was an unread message in the phone, I played it.

"Clara, dad has had a problem and we will arrive on Wednesday, stay safe sweetheart. You have food in the ice-box." There was a second message, mine.
"Clara where are you, I have been trying to contact you for a while already, call me please."

I then shouted her name, no answer. I started panicking. I went upstairs and found her PC on with little battery, 10% I think it was. I looked at the screen and found a Doc. file, it was a suicide letter. I panicked, I went downstairs again and entered the garage. Empty. I looked every room in the house, just to find it empty. I sat on the floor and dialed her number again. First it was the piano, then it was him; "I wanna sleep next to you, but that's all I wanna do right now..."

I would recognize that song everywhere, it was Troye's "Talk me down". I couldn't find the phone anywhere, I then went outside, the music was coming out from there "The treehouse"- I thought. I got to the base of the tree and then the song ended. I then started going up the ladder, then I started smelling that alcohol. I kept going up, once I got to the treehouse I saw her, in the floor, unconscious, all sweaty. I couldn't find her pulse, I called 112 and when the lady said hi I felt Clara's hand touching my feet. I told the woman on the phone to wait for a second if possible. I then turned around and saw her looking directly at me, "Paul... turn off the phone, please" So I did, I sat at the floor with her and hugged her. "I am going to die, Paul"

 - I know, I know -I said

 - It's for the best -She said

 - Don't say that, your life is important

 - There is something wrong with me.
 - What do you mean? -I asked her while I dialed 911 on my phone which was behind my back
 - Look, I went out with a guy and there was this party, Paul... -She started crying and hugged me

 - I am not sexually attracted to people. -She then said, she then looked to the floor

 - As if that was a problem, you are just a human being, as if sex was important.
 - There is more... Mike... he... -She couldn't finish the sentence, her heart stop beating.

The ambulance got there too late, I did the RCP to her, maybe that saved her. But totally not how I wanted. The brain was too long without oxigen, she is in vegetative state. Since I wasn't from Clara's family I couldn't enter the ambulance so I stayed back, I went to the PC to read the letter just to find that the battery had run out. I plugged it in and found it was locked. I tried the password I remembered and it worked, but the Doc. was corrupted. It was irrecoverable. I will never know what Mike did.
