Twisted

Kate

Two months had gone by and Blare still hasn't returned, the cops fell off the case and it became a cold case. I couldn't live with myself any longer, I feel like it was my fault that she left.

"Kate... I think it's time to face the facts, I don't think she's coming back" my therapist rubbed my back.

"She's not gone, she's not gone" I repeated as my hands started to shake.

"Normally missing girls are presumed dead after 72 hours, it's been two months." She shrugged.

"So youre telling me that If your wife went missing, you'd presume she was dead and move on?" I became angry.

"Not necessarily..." she looked down at her lap.

There was silence in the room, blare couldn't be dead. It just doesn't happen.

"How are you doing with the self harm?" she asked quietly.

"Same depth but there's more of them." I hissed under my breath.

"Okay. But really Kate, you'll find a new girlfriend, just put yourself out there. You haven't gone to school in three weeks, go to school tomorrow and wear something you feel confident in."

I'm confident a noose around my neck would work.

"I haven't gone because I was in a mental hospital. I literally just got out yesterday." I muttered.

"My point, you haven't even been home yet, correct?"

"Right."

"Don't you think josh misses you?"

Josh. I forgot all about him.

"I need to go home. I need to see josh." I became frantic.

"Ill call your mom in."

About ten minutes later Ali showed up to pick me up.

I've been in a mental hospital for three weeks, I get out and was sent straight to therapy. I haven't seen my mom or josh in weeks, so my moms fiancé comes to pick me up. Great.

"Hi Ali, where's mom?" I asked.

"She's at home, busy with josh."

"Oh" was the only word that could escape my mouth. We left the building and drove home. The car ride was silent, I didn't want to talk to Ali or my mom just yet.

I walked in the front door, Liam still lived with us, he was on the carpet in front of the lit fireplace, playing cars with josh. The moment josh saw me, he sprang up and ran to me.

"Sissy! I missed you!" He whaled.

"I missed you too bud." I hugged him tightly.

"Liam's been helping out since you left. How was everything?" my mom asked.

"It was alright." I lied,

I still wanted to kill myself.

"Dinners ready" she set a plate of food down on the table.

"I'm not hungry." I muttered.

"You have to eat. The doctors told us to make sure you're eating." Ali whispered in my ear.

Great. Just fantastic actually. I get home and in forced to talk to people.

I took my seat and started to pick at the food on my plate. Dinner conversations were normal and then all of a sudden, josh started talking.

"Kate... Where's blare? did you two break up?" he looked up at me.

I felt tears welling in my eyes and I pushed myself away from the table and I ran upstairs to my room. I flung myself on my bed and started to sob.
