60 days
I'm sitting at the back of detention watching Courtney at the front. She is on a slight angle so I can see her lips moving like she is muttering but no noise is coming out because it is silent in hear as the teacher demands.
Her dark curly hair gently falls around her face as she shakes her head a bit.
I furrow my eyebrows as I watch her
Small tears roll down her cheeks as she shakes her head violently covering her ears firmly with her hands, earning a couple of strange looks from around the classroom.
I start to stand up when she is sobbing and run over to her ignoring the teacher shouting at me
She lets out a blood curdling scream and doesn't stop screaming, she can't stop screaming.
I try to gently grab her shoulders and bring her back to reality but she recoils and screams louder if that was even possible.
She falls off her chair and curls up in a ball on the floor still screaming only stopping briefly to let out a sob or to breathe.
I look around panicked and unsure of what to do as every time I try to touch her she just crus and screams even more.
I catch the eye of someone with their phone out videoing the whole thing
He is within arms reach so I slap the phone out of his hand and it falls to the floor about three metres away
"What the fuck man?" The guy says to me
"Are you fucking kidding me? My best friends is having a- a- a- a fucking attack of some sort and you're recording the whole bloody thing?! HOW INSENSITIVE CAN YOU GET?!?!" I explode
Anger takes over and I get up pick up his phone and see a nice crack down the screen. After deleting the video I throw it as hard as I can out of an open window.
I crouch back down at Courtney's side and even though she try's to wiggle out of my grasp and screams to high heaven about it I pick her up, bridle style, and carry her out of the class room to save her any more embarrassment.
I take the fire exit to the car park and lay her down in the back seat
She has stopped screaming now but can't stop crying
I drive her to the one place I can think of that will help her, even though she is scared shitless of them, the hospital.
