"Al wake up"
"Why"she rolls over and looks at me with sleepy eyes"morning"
"Morning"
"What time is it"
"It's 11am you need to get up"
"Ok" groggily she gets up and rubs her eyes with the back of her hand
"I have to go to the shops to get lunch are you going to be ok"
"Yeah"
I give her *that* look and she notices immediately
"Em I'm not like that anymore I'll be fine"
Pulling her into a tight hug I whisper in her ear
"I know,I know"
"Where are you parents"
"At work or something like usual"
"Ok and what time are you getting back"
"In about an hour"
"Ok I think I'm just going to sleep some more"
"Please try and eat something small before I make lunch you haven't eaten since yesterday morning"
"Ok mom"
"Al I'm serious"The sound of snoring tells me she went back to bed.
Shaking my head with an amused look on my face I slip on a pair of tight denim jeans and a light floral top
"Bye al I'll be back soon"
No reply
Unlocking my car door I hop in and start the engine,it roars to life with no effort and before I know it I'm zooming down the road,the cafe shop isn't far away so in about 5 minutes I'm looking for a parking spot.
I've decided on pasta for lunch so I grab some noodles,cream and chicken (als favorite)
The feeling of someone following me is strong as I walk down the hygiene aisle so inconspicuously I turn around and look who it is
Jessica Cummings
The schools popular,queen of gossip city
I'll give her something to talk about
Quickly I snatch up two pregnancy tests and turn around feigning surprise
She throws her hand over her mouth and turns and runs the other way
"Hahahaha" I can't stop the laughter escaping my mouth
"Hey that was funny"
Jumping I turn around again staring straight into a pair of light brown orbs
"You scared me"
"S..sorry" I can hear the struggle he's having to keep the laughter in
"I just couldn't handle her following me anymore"
"Oh yeah"
"So um.."
"Oh how rude of me, I'm jace I go to your school"
"Oh ok, Emily"
"Well nice to meet you Emily,I'll see you around?"
"Sure"I pay and drive back home but when u get in the house it is eerily quiet
"Alicia"
Nothing
"Ali"
Still nothing,running up the stairs I hope that she is still just sleeping
Without bothering to knock on the door I swing it open and look directly at the bed
"Alicia" I head over to the bathroom and see the worst thing possible
Alicia is sitting on the floor a razor in her hand and a shallow cut on her left wrist
"ALICIA!"
She looks up,a look of panic stretched across her beautiful face as I snatch the razor away from her
"I...I didn't mean to I promise"
"Don't lie to me,I thought we would stop together"
"I..I'm s..sorry"
"Dont" I cut her off then detach around in the cupboard,handing over a wad of gauze.I thought she would stop she said we could stop together she promised
I rush down the stairs and grab some rubbing alcohol and a bandage before running back up the stairs
She's still sitting in the same position as before
"Here let me pour this on you cut,it might hurt"I uncap the bottle and slowly pour some of the liquid on her arm
"Her me hold this over it and then I'll wrap it"
I handed her some more cotton wool and she holds it in place while I wrap the bandage around it.
"Why al"
"I..I don't know"she was sobbing now everything just running down her face black streaks coating her cheeks and red streaks coating her arms"Everything is going to be ok"
"HOW!" she shouts tugging hardly on her hair
I make a grab for both or her hands and hold them down on my lap
"Alicia,I am your best friend,you need to stop doing this to yourself"
"It's the o..only way"
"Bullshit" I draw my hands back and give her a look
"Just go downstairs I'll clean this up"I harshly state
"I'm sor"I cut her off before she could finish
"Go downstairs and get something to eat"She opens her mouth to speak again
"GO!"
The look on her face tells me this isn't the first or last time I'm going to have to sit on this bathroom floor with her
"I'm a mess em"
"We all are"
I look away from her harshly wrapping the bandage tighter
"Are you mad""Yes"I sigh"but more than that I'm scared al,I can't do this alone and if you start I will aswell and I don't want to go back,I can't go back"
"Im sorry"she sniffles "it's just .."
Before I know it we are both sitting on the floor crying .i hug her tightly and take a deep breath
"It's going to be ok"I murmur "we are going to be ok"
I just hope I'm right
Hey guys sad chapter u know anyway can anyone tell me what Emily did wrong with the first aid
