Running on pills

Arias P.O.V

I currently have 4 missed phone calls and 7 unread texts from my brother. I knew he wouldn't give up so easily. He knows I won't give up so easily too. I go on my settings and change it so when I read messages it won't tell the person I've read it. Now I can look to see what he said without him finding out. I would just delete the conversation but I'm a very curious and noisy person.

Aria answer my phone calls

Please Aria

Stop ignoring me

I know your reading this. I know your tricks

Damn how did he find out?

I'm sorry for punching the wall. If there's a dent I can get it fixed

I forgot he punched the wall. I should go check it later.

I'm just trying to help. The least you could do is call me back :)

Your not safe home. Please I'm begging!!!!!

The last one was sent 6 minutes ago. I can't help but laugh at his foolish texts. I'm staying where I am. Father isn't home anymore anyways. I'm not even sure where he is right now! He usually does this at least once a month. He'll go out one night, find a girl and live with her until he gets tired of her. When he gets home he'll blame me for everything then go back out until he finds another girl.

It's Sunday today. I'm so glad I don't have school sense it's summer. I'm dreading the first day back in a few weeks thought. I usually end up without a locker because I don't have money to pay for one. It's hard to get a job when you're in a city and you hate people. It's not like I can ask my father for money either. I learned the hard way to not steal money from him too.

*ring ring*

Great. It's Joey. I don't really know why but I decide to answer him.

Me: Joey what do you want!

Joey: why do you want to stay in that hell hole when you could get out of there and into a better family!

Me: what's the point? in a few years I'll be old enough to move out on my own. I don't need a family.

Joey: I think every kid needs to be in a healthy family before they move out anywhere. You don't even know what a healthy family is!

Me: that will never happen anyways! no one will want me! I may as well just die!

With that note I hung up on him. I get worked up so easily I can't help it! I'm pacing back and forth across my room. What if I actually did die? I had this thought a lot but I never made it to actions. I go to the medicine cabinet and take out the left over sleeping pills from when I couldn't sleep a month ago. That's when my fathers abuse got so bad I was scared to sleep.

I took the cap off and popped 2 in my mouth. Swallowed. Wait. What am I doing? I don't actually want to die do I? I've been through so much and I get upset with a fight with my brother? I'm stronger then that! I guess I'm just mad at him for leaving me behind. He got to escape while I'm stuck with my abusive father. Why did my life have to be so difficult? My eyes start to sting. I drop the pill container by accident but decide to leave it sense I can feel the 2 pills I did swallow start to work. I guess they're messing with my mind too because I thought I saw something that wasn't there and I fall backwards landing on something sharp. I think my arm is bleeding. Great I'm a mess.

*bang*

Great, now I'm hearing things too.

"Aria what did you do?" Said my brother. I was wrong. I did hear something.

"I'm tired." was all I managed to get out. The pills always made me super tired but for some reason I never fell asleep and that's what's happening now. I can't even get up off the floor so I'm just laying here like an idiot while Joey is confused and scared. I can't help it I'm too tired to talk.

I watch his eyes scan over me, then the room. He spots the sleeping pills I dropped on the floor earlier. Oh no he's going to get the wrong impression.

"We are going to the hospital now!" his voice calm but worried. I'm proud of him for keeping his anger down. He kneels down beside me and picks me up bridal style and carries me all the way outside to his car. The air is a bit humid and it got dark out. I'm not sure what time it is tho. I'm still quite tired but I think the fresh air woke me up a bit. And the fact we are going to the hospital. I absolutely hate hospitals ever sense mom died.

Joey stood me up to unlock his car I had to think fast. He had the wrong idea and the hospital won't do anything but poke me with needles. I'm leaning on the side of his car while Joey lost his keys. This gives me the perfect chance too run. It may not be a good idea to run after you took sleeping pills but in my mind I think it's a good idea. So of I go sprinting down the road.

"Aria what the hell are you doing?" Joey yells after me.

The first thing I see after I reach the end of this short road is a local park. I can hide in the trees there sense its dark. (Sometimes my mind thinks of super stupid stuff so don't judge me. I know it's a bad idea.) as I reach the park I'm almost stumbling over and Joey is catching up fast.

"Aria!"My brother yelled. I can hear his feet stomping on anything that was under him. I can't let him catch me but I'm running out of energy. My eyes keep going fuzzy and I feel dizzy but I have to keep running.

"Leave me alo-ouff!" I just had to trip on a tree stump. I went crashing to the ground. I landed on a sharp rock causing the gash in my arm to break open more. Pain shot threw my whole body. I tried to get up but I just fell back down. I thought this was the end for me. As I closed my eyes I felt my body become lighter and lighter till I was gone.

"Aria keep your eyes open! Don't leave me, I'm right here e-everything will be ok" my brother whispered. Then everything went dark.

Hehehehe cliff hanger :) what's gonnnnna happen?????? Any guesses for the future? I have an idea but I'm up for suggestions.

I don't know why I updated so early but be happy that I did! I just felt like writing a bit more. I need to go to bed now tho. I'm tired. Have a good night! Or morning or afternoon. :) 😴
