Sasha was sprawled out on her bed. It was Saturday so, she could sleep in the way she wanted to. That is, until her mother came in to give her the pills she needed to tame the voices that taunted her every day.
“Sasha, sweetie..” her mother called for her daughter who was still fast asleep.
“Hmmfph..” Sasha let out a muffled groan before her mother shook her again and she opened her eyes. Not moving a muscle.
“Come on, come take your pills..” her mother urged as she got up slowly from her position. Sasha took the pills from her mother’s hand.
She put them into her mouth downing them with some room temperature water.
Her parents soon exited the room and Sasha fell back down unto her bed. After a few seconds, she picked up her phone.
Bayley 💛 Can we hang out today? If you're not busy.
Sasha’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of Bayley asking her out again. She’s known Bayley since they were younger and all she wanted was Bayley around her at every second.
Sash 💘 Sure thing. I’ll talk to you later. 😘
Sasha smiled and placed her phone back on to her dresser. Morgan came running into her room.
“Hello, Sasha!” Morgan says excitedly and Sasha smiles at her
“Good morning, Morgan.” Sasha greets with a small smile. Before she saw Morgan’s face straighten right after hers did.
“Is it those voices?” Morgan asked crawling on Sasha’s bed and Sasha refused to look at her. She stared off not saying a word. “Sasha!” Morgan yelled getting in Sasha’s face before she pushed Morgan off the bed.
“Oh God! I’m so sorry.” Sasha frantically apologized as Morgan got up off the ground.
“It’s okay..” she says dusting herself off with her voice cracking as she walked toward the door.
‘Way to go.. you’re seriously the worse person ever. Kill yourself!’ the girl yelled in Sasha’s face.
Sasha stared at the girl who was now in her face. Soon, the voices became louder and louder. Sasha’s hands came up to cover both her ears.
Then, she heard a ping. She looked at her phone, ‘Bayley 💛’. She frantically picked up her phone and the voices faded into nothing.
How does Bayley make these voices go away sometimes? Sasha thought to herself.
‘Bayley 💛’ You can meet me at the abandoned soccer field in a moment, if you’d like?
‘Sash 💘’ I’ll be there in a few minutes.
‘Bayley 💛’ I’ll be waiting, princess.
‘She just feels sorry for you. That’s why she uses those nicknames. Nobody likes you. Just die already.’ the boy says and Sasha shakes her head as she tries to ignore him.
Sasha finishes getting ready and heads downstairs. She sees Morgan and her parents sitting down at the table.
“Where are you going?” her father asked as she made it to the bottom of the staircase.
“I was just going to ask you if -” Sasha was cut off by her father yelling at her.
“Did you push your sister?!” he asked in a loud tone, startling Sasha. Sasha didn’t move a muscle nor did she answer the question. Sasha’s hands reached up to her zipper where she constantly pulled her zipper up and down.
Her mother’s eyes wandered down to her clothing and one of her pant legs were rolled up. Her socks weren't the same colors either.
“Don’t.” her mother said holding unto her father’s arm. Sasha ran back up the stairs and slammed her door shut. She closed the windows, locked her door and cried.
‘See? They all hate you, go kill yourself!’ the boy whispered and Sasha yelled at the boy. Her parents came behind knocking on the door loudly.
After this incident, there was an increase in the amount of pills she had to take. She started the dosage as soon as possible.

Sasha looked through her phone for Bayley’s contact but, it was gone. Where did it go? Sasha wondered as she tried to remember the number Bayley gave her.
‘She’s avoiding you. Stupid fuck.’
Sasha thought that, maybe the voice was right. Maybe she was avoiding me.
On her way to school, she sees Bayley walking to school. She runs toward Bayley placing a hand on her shoulder.
“Bayley, I lost your number.” Sasha says and Bayley turns around to face her. Bayley dug into her pocket, took out her phone and soon after, Sasha’s phone went off. She looked down at her phone.
‘Unknown Number’ I got a new number, princess. 😊
Add this one. Put whatever emoji you’d like beside it this time. :)
• Bayley 😩💛 •
Sasha smiled and continued walking to school with that same smile on her face.
