The Girl

The trip

It all started one day as I was coming home from school. As I got into my house I realized, I was the only one there, my older brother hasn't gotten home yet. I wonder what's taking him so long.

The longer I was alone the worse it got. The voices kept getting louder, louder and louder I couldn't take it anymore. I started to panic. I went to the kitchen grabed a razor and some pills. Just as I started putting the pills in my mouth my brother came rushing in the house. knowing that if I was alone bad things would happen, and they did.

I quickly spit out the pills hid them in my room and put on long sleeves to hide my wrist. ( which was dumb considering it was summer and 90° outside)

" I'm home, are you here ivry?" He said with slight concern in his voice. " Umm... Yea I'm upstairs." There was a slight pause. 

Next thing I knew Cole  was right there looking at me in shock as he seen the blood. " Why do you do this, everything is fine you just need to keep telling yourself this. Ok." He said with sorrow. " But, what if it's not ok what if it's worse than you think. I'm not ok and I'm tired of pretending to be ok. I just want to go away from people." Ivey said. " what's wrong with people now? They aren't doing anything and they haven't for a long time." " yes they have you and dad just never hear about it, I know it hurts you guys to see me like this. So I figured I would put you out of you pain by leaving. The people at school have been making fun of me and it's gotten worse. There calling me more names, and it won't stop. It never does." She said in tears. " I have to tell dad about this you know that right?"
"Yes I know." More tears fell on her face as she answered.

After Cole told dad, dad was furious. He says he doesn't understand why I keep doing this to myself, but he should.

Just last year my mom died of cancer. Me and my mom were really close. She always told me story's of what it was like when she was younger. She always had a smile on her face no matter what, even when she was going through chemo. Ever since she died I've been depressed, and everything gets to me now, Even things that shouldn't.

Dad says I'm going on a trip. I know where I'm going. He's sending me away to a mental hospital. I hate those places so much. They force you to have a good time they don't even care why you're sad they just don't.
So I packed my bags to get ready for the leave. Cole is going to take me. Dad says he can stay out of school the rest of the week. The trip will take a couple of days. Once we get out of town Cole starts to cry. He doesn't like to see me like this but yet somehow it seems like he understands. Ever since mom is gone he is more protective I guess you would say.

The ride is quiet. Neither of us speak for hours. " Ivry, I want you to know that I'm always gonna love you no matter what, and I don't want to loose you too. Your the only one that I'm close to. You know me and dad don't get along well. So just promise me one thing. Promise to stay strong don't fight them do as you're told and you should get out sooner." Cole said his voice still shaky from crying. " I love you too. And I promise to do my best here Cole I won't let you down."

We arrived at Briar creek mental hospital . "I have to go now Cole..." (he wouldn't let go of me. I could tell he wasn't doing good either.) I could tell..." look Cole I will be ok you just need to trust me not to do anything like I did. God knows what dad would do if he lost both of us. Things will get better. Here, have my necklace when you have it I will always be with you".
Ivry said as she hugged him goodbye again...
