Shame

two

I wake up in a hospital bed. Nurses surrounding me and a dozen cords leading to my body.

I look down at my wrists which are covered in bandages.

Danielle sits across the room staring out the window.

"how could you? " she asks not even waiting for a response before continuing. "how could you just leave me on this earth without you? "

She walks out the dorm and slams the door, tears dripping down her face.

Now I start to cry. I feel the tears drip down my face and they drown my eyes.

My heart aches,  my head hurts and my body collapses back into my pillow.

Then there's a knock on the door.

"hey Chloe? Can I come in? " I recognise the voice but I wish it would go away.

Slowly I wipe my face as the door opens. There he stands in the doorway looking at me.

Making his way towards the window,  he takes the seat where Danielle was.

"Callum, I really don't want you here" I say abruptly.

"well then,  I just wanted to see how you were but I guess I'm not wanted here" he says,  pulling his chair closer towards my bed.

"you're right!  I don't want you here so if you could grab your things and leave that would be much appreciated"

I turn towards the other window that over looks the city. The bright lights and cars cover it all.

I think it is absolutely beautiful. The sky a deep blue and the grey clouds can be seen slightly.

He is still here,  sitting back near the window.

"what did I ever do to you Chloe? "

I don't even bother looking at him. His words mean nothing to me,  nothing means anything to me.

"you know exactly what you did" I shout. I can't contain my anger anymore.

He moves closer towards me again,  I can feel the intensity picking up.

"you can't just have one of your mates hurt my best friend,  then you hurt her yourself and then pretend it's all good!"

"what are you talking about? " he asks.

"you know god damn well what I'm talking about!  And you know I will never forgive you for it! "

I launch myself at him,  ripping multiple cords out of my skin.

My hands wrap around his neck,  he tries to fight me off.

"help!  Can we get some help in here!" Callums shouts but I can barely hear what he's saying.

I slam the door shut and lock it before running back to Callum.

My hands slap his face hard. He is a taken back by this.

"open this door Chloe!!"

I can hear Callum gasping for air. The door is banging loudly.

I launch myself at Callum again... Punching his face hard. He just lays still not retaliating. This makes me even more mad.

"I'm not going to hit a girl Chloe" he shouts over my screams.

"it sure didn't stop you not stepping in when Braden punched Danielle did it? No so ahhhh"

I continue to hit him,  leaving marks all over his face and arms.

The door slams open by the security guards That kicked the door to the ground.

I have arms around me,  pulling me to the ground on my stomach.

Tears flood my face for the 3rd time tonight. I can feel the floor getting drenched with my tears as the nurses focus on Callum.

My head is still pounding like a bomb has just been set off.

The security guards out velcro handcuffs around my wrists which makes it impossible to move anything but my head.

Out of the corner of my eye I see a needle being prepped.

"I warned you Callum! I told you that you shouldn't of stayed" more tears flood my face.

I turn my head to connect with his eyes. He's propped up against the chair near the window,  blood leaking from the cut under his eye.

"you don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world Chloe, but you do have some say in who hurts you- and I like my choices" a small tear slides down his cheek.

The needle sticks into my side and immedietley I feel light headed and sleepy.

"I'm so sor...."

The room goes black and the last thing I see is Callum staring straight back at me.

A. N.  Sorry for a meh chapter. I tried my best but I don't know about it. Please leave your thoughts in the comments.
