The Smile Of A Broken Soul

Things Change (3)

*Warning this chapter might be a bit depressing depending on your personal preference

Veronica's POV

I chuckled to myself. "Ok I'll stay for a bit."
I slid into bed with her. While she drifted off into slumber I studied her different features. Specifically the ones different from mine. Before I knew it I was studying everything from her slightly rounder face to each of her individual freckles. After a few minutes I pulled out my phone and read some comments on our latest video. I felt my stomach drop as I read each comment carefully. I noticed that there was more hate than usual, normally I wouldn't have really cared, but this time all the negativity was directed towards one of us.

  It was directed towards her. My twin, my younger sister, my other half, and most importantly my best friend was getting hate for no reason.

  I closed my eyes and thought for what felt like hours until I was dragged into deep sleep.

  Vanessa's Dream

  I woke up in a pitch black room and felt a chill run down my spin as I felt something go through me. Instantly chilling cold air hit me, like the one when I went to go get mail. I heard my breaths echo off the walls. I started to panic as I remembered the events that happened this afternoon until a blinding bright light flashed and the once pitch black room was now as white as snow.

  Suddenly a sharp excruciating pain ran through my head followed by voices. Voices of disappointment.I felt as though darkness was consuming me from head to toe, but then it just stopped. I still heard faint whispers, but other than that the room was silent. Until something materialized from the white floor. It was silhouette of a figure. That figure was Roni. I ran to her looking for comfort. She spoke in her reassuring calm voice, so I thought I was fine and safe, but I wasn't. She smirked and shoved me to the ground. Then said things that only she knew using them to hurt me. All my shameful secrets, all those times I wasn't there for her, and she also said that everything I did for her when she was at her lowest point in her life didn't help at all. I felt my heart shatter, as more people I knew started appearing and said even more awful things. My mom, dad, friends, the people who I cared about and even my crush. I choked a sob and just as I did so Roni pulled out a knife with the handle pointing at me. "Do it, it'll make the pain go away." I hesitantly took it from her and turned over my wrist. I felt all my anger towards myself through the knife and slashed my wrist. Blood. Blood splattered on the white floor. Just then the world shattered around me and I woke up with a start.

I touched my face and felt tears running down. I looked at the clock and it was 4:00 am, I doubted I would be able to go back to bed, so I just did my morning routine.

After I did this I went downstairs and sat on the couch hugging my legs to my chest near my broken heart.

Veronica's POV

I woke up and noticed the Nessa wasn't next to me, so I thought she already had woken up. I did my normal routine and ran downstairs.

"Morning N-," I stopped my sentence as I saw her on the couch with her knees to her chest.

"Good morning Roni," she said in a soft shaky voice.

"What time did you wake up?" I asked as I made cereal and started eating it.

"4:00 am", she whispered.

I almost choked on my cereal as I heard this. "What the heck Nessa, why so early?!?

"Nightmare."

I made an o with my lips.

Couple of minutes later

I practically dragged her to the car.On the way to school the ride was awfully quiet.

Vanessa's POV

I parted ways with Roni and regretted it. During Math the classroom flashed back and forth from the white room with my cut wrist and my blood rapidly flowing down. I began to panic, I felt like I couldn't breathe. The professor saw this and excused me with a worried look on his face. I stood outside near the door and tried to calm down. After about 5 minutes I still had trouble breathing, but
I just decided to go back in. After class I headed to the restroom. As I turned the corner I saw my crush, Tobias. I heard him saying to his friend, " No way dude, she's not good enough." That's when I started panicking even more I started huffing and wheezing. I quickly walked past them to the restroom.I stood in one of the stalls and tried to breath. Black spots were appearing in my vision, but I heard someone coming in. "Hey Nessa are you in here?" I flushed the toilet and responded to Roni, "Yup I'm here." " Are you okay? I heard that you stepped out of your classroom for a bit." "Yeah I'm.....fine."

Hey dudes, I just want to tell you that I'm ok, well kinda. I've been good but I don't want to rant about it but I hope you enjoyed this chapter
