Opal's Story

I'm Sorry Tracy

TRACYS POV

Never before have I felt so scared for someone in my life. She needs help.

I unlock the door to the quiet room and walk in, she's curled up asleep bless her

'I'm so sorry' I whisper, sitting beside her I stroke through her hair the poor things been through hell

'Tracy' she whispers before opening her eyes she races to the door and I stop her

'Opal you have to stay in here' I say

'You can't make me, please Tracy just let me out' She says

'If I let you out then I'll lose you forever and I cannot lose anyone else I care about!' I say

'I can't do this Tracy. All the thoughts that take over and leave me in tears, shaking, pretending to be okay, hiding away, the constant panic attacks, I just can't do it' she says, starting to cry

'You can. I know you can. I believe in you' I say

'I can't Tracy! It's awful and I can't do it anymore! I can't do this anymore! Just let me out so I can do the world a favour' she says, unable to control herself

'I can't just sit back and watch you die' I say, looking at who shes become thanks to her so called parents

I don't want her to leave me. I don't want her to die.

She looks at me fearfully

'Tracy please no' she says

'It's for your own good, Opal. I'll be back later' I say before leaving the room, slamming and locking the door behind me

'TRACY!!' She screams, I can hear the sadness in her voice

'It's for her own good' mike says, laying a hand on my shoulder

'can you tell her that, because shes breaking my heart' I say before running upstairs in tears

OPALS POV

It's mum all over again. She's left me. Locked me in so I can't escape.

No matter how much she insists it's for my own good I can't help but ignore it

I start to go dizzy and I raise my hand to my chest, unable to breath I let out a desperate scream before everything turns to black

TRACYS POV

How could I just leave her in there? I have too, or she'll go and hurt herself or worse

She means so much to me and I cannot lose her, she's got so much to live for

I hear a desperate scream downstairs and I know that this isn't just a cry to let her out

Somethings happened.

I race downstairs and unlock the door, she's on the floor, sobbing her heart out

'what happened? Shh it's gonna be okay' I whisper

She gives me a hug, poor things shaking like mad

All of a sudden I'm on the floor and she's left the room

'Opal!!' I shout before running to the door

She's locked me in

'Mike!!' 

Mike hears me and opens the door

'You okay where's opal?' He says

'I don't know, but she's got her heart set on killing herself and I can't let that happen!' I say before running outside

OPALS POV

I'm sorry Tracy but I simply can't do this anymore

I clock the ladder to the roof and run over to it placing my trembling palms either side I pull myself up onto the roof

'Opal! Get down from there!' Lily begs me

'I have to do this' I say, knocking the ladder down it breaks into two pieces

Nobody can stop me now

'Did you see where opal went?' I hear Tracy say behind me

Lily looks up to the roof and bursts into tears in Tracys arms

'Please don't do this!' Lily shouts

'It's okay lil, I'll sort this' Tracy says before running downstairs

Everyone's gathered outside, watching me, begging me to come down

My entire body's shaking which doesn't help with balance

This is it now.

I'm sorry Tracy

I'm sorry Dani

I'm sorry Mike

I'm sorry Lily

I'm sorry Mum...

I look up to the sky, a tears rolls down my cheek as I whisper

'I'm sorry dad'
