Speak Up: (Chandler Riggs)

Chapter 11

~Here I still am, waiting for you.

The darkness in me is coming out. It's completely taken over.

I want you. I crave you.

Will you be there for me when I need you most? Or will you abandon me? I've hit rock bottom. No where to go.

I'll always be there for you. No matter what happens.

Before you came around, I was in a rush. Didn't have a friend. You taught me how to dream. --Some lines from Backpack by Justin Bieber

I really appreciate you.

Please help me. I feel myself falling. No one is there for me, except for you.

Promise me one thing. Watch my back. Keep me safe. I'll do the same. As long as I haven't pushed myself too far.~

••••

After a long, tiring day of school, I finally got to go home and eat and sleep.

Yaaaaay!

I grabbed a piece of pizza out of the fridge along with a soda and made my way upstairs. I wasn't going to stick around for my dad.

I turned on my TV, and began watching reruns of The Walking Dead.

Best show on TV.

I watched this show all the time with my mom, it brings back good memories. And it's about zombies, my favorite.

I watched three episodes when I was interrupted by my phone going off.

My phone flashed, Chandler.

"Ughhh why do you have to ruin everythinggg!!" I sarcastically screamed into the phone.

"Well hello to you too," he chuckled.

"I'm watching The Walking Dead," I informed him.

"You would r-rather w-watch The W-Walking Dead than talk to me," he sniffled, jokingly.

"Maaaaybe--aww you're an asshole!! Come on!! Ah-and you're dead," I said to the TV.

"I'm coming over," he told me.

"Fine, but you're watching this with me," I smiled.

"Whatever. As long as I get to spend time with you," he said.

Awwwwwww that was sweet.

"I'll be over in ten," he told me before hanging up.

"Guess I'll get some food," I said to myself before getting up and going back downstairs.

I entered the kitchen, quietly, only to hear muffled noises and voices coming from the other room.

I grabbed a bag of I popped popcorn and threw it in the microwave.

As I waited, I got a few Pepsi cans from the fridge.

I hear a door slam shut.

Dad came out, red faced, sweaty, hand bloody.

Oh my god. It sent shivers down my spine.

"D-dad," I stuttered, terrified.

He stared me down.

I'm scared out of my mind. I don't know what he did.

Xavier.

"W-where's Xavier..."

"Bridget, honey," he tried to hug me.

"WHERE IS HE?!" I screamed at the op of my lungs.

He sighed.

I ran past him, down my basement steps to see...Xavier.

My baby brother, a bloody mess. Unconscious. Almost lifeless.

"Xavier!!" I yelled, running over to him and dropped to my knees.

Tears streamed down my face.

I threw Xavier in my arms, bridal style, and ran up the basement steps.

I was greeted by my dad, who was smiling.

"Let's take him to a hospital," he said.

"GET AWAY!!! How the fuck could you do this to your own son! MOM IS DEAD. EXCEPT THAT. She's not coming back!! You're a fucking psychopath!!" I cried.

"DON'T BRING HER INTO THIS!!" Dad screamed.

He pushed me.
He pushed me down the stairs.

Bones cracked. I hit my head about 10 times.

Xavier's body plopped on top of me. I could barely breathe.

"YOU BITCH!" Dad yelled again.

"D-dad..." I whispered

Footsteps boomed down the stairs.

Xavier's body flew off me. I gasped for air. Dad stepped on my chest, then my stomach.

Bye bye lungs...

"P-please stop..." I whispered.

"Y-you...just can't, you d-don't know," dad said, grabbing his hair.

"J-just, dad, please..."

"SHUT UP!!" He screamed, his face getting more and more red.

"Bridg--WHAT THE HELL?!" A familiar voice boomed.

Chandler. Thank god.

I could barely see. Everything was fuzzy.

"NOT YOU AGAIN!!" Dad yelled.

I took a breath, it felt like my last.

I blacked out.

{Intense.
