Hospital

(My bestie Madison is in this one! Shout out to you girly!)

I had just gotten home. Mom was away at work and dad lay asleep with crushed beer cans around him on the couch. Normal. But it didn't feel normal. Just then my phone buzzed. "New kik message!" My phone flashed on the screen. I unlocked my phone and went to my messages. It was Madison.

M: hey wud?

Me: nothing much. Bored.

M: well gtg. Got to go met Zach.

Me: bye I guess. 😪

I clicked my phone off and shoved it into my pocket. I went upstairs and kicked off my black converse. I kept thinking of Andrew. I needed to talk to him. I didn't even have his number. I spent the rest of the afternoon think if what I'd say to him. I also thought about that day it brung up bad memories. Kids at school, my dad, everyone around me and all the nasty things I've heard people say about me. I say on my bed and pulled my legs to my chest. I covered my ears shut tight. I rocked back and forth on the bed, tears rolling down my face. I went into the bathroom and slammed the door. I took my secret stash out from under the sink. I cut a line in my wrist and grabbed a pill bottle from the cabnet. I took 10 in my hand and swallowed them. I walked slowly to my room and layed in my bed. I kept wanting to fall asleep. I felt weak and couldn't move. I finally closed my eyes. When I woke up I was in the hospital bed, my dad next to me and Madison standing there. Looking at me. Shaking her head.
