Chemical

Chapter 1- 6:30am

One day I woke up to the sound of strange voices coming from the living room. I had no idea who it was at first but then I heard a voice coming from a radio. My first thought was the police. I wanted to make sure so I quietly jumped out of my bed and opened the door. I saw two cops standing in the living room in front of my mom who was crying. At first, I thought my mom was getting arrested I started freaking out I wanted to make sure that everything was ok so I said "mom? what's going on?" she didn't give me a straight answer she just told me to go back to bed I knew I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep seeing two cops in my house. So I just went back to my room and laid in my bed and tried to listen to see what was going on But I couldn't hear much of what they were saying. After a while, I heard the front door close. So I jumped out of my bed and looked through the window and I saw my Mimi pulling into the driveway as an ambulance was pulling out of it. I ran out of my room and saw my mom coming up the stairs so I asked her what happened and she said "nothing I'm fine" as she was walking to her room. Then my Mimi walked into the house and she came up the stairs and I asked her what was going on and she said the ambulance was taking my mom to the hospital and I said no she but then my mom cut me off and said: "I'm in my bedroom mom!" Then my Mimi walked into her room and asked her why she was still here and my mom told her that she told the police she was fine so they left. I could tell my Mimi was mad that the ambulance didn't take her but I didn't know why I didn't even know what was going on, to begin with so I asked again what the heck was going on and finally my Mimi answered me and said my mom took to many pills. I looked at my mom and asked her if it was on purpose she looked back at me with a really sad look and said yes. When she said yes my heart stopped and a bunch of thoughts came into my mind. I didn't know exactly what to say. Then my mom said that she regretted it as soon as she did it and that she gagged herself to get the pills up. Then they just started talking about all this stuff that I wasn't even listening to I was just starting out my mom's bedroom window trying not to have a panic attack. But then my Mimi asked me if I wanted to go to waffle house with her I said "sure." I thought it might get my mind off of everything so I went to my room and got dressed. Mimi and I talked about it in the car and she said my mom called them early that morning and told them she wasn't feeling good then they hung up but shortly after that she called again and told Mimi she took to many blood pressure pills that we used to give our dog. then Mimi called the police and drove herself to our house. Once we got to waffle house we just ordered our food and ordered mom some food to-go. When we got back to the house I went upstairs to check on my mom and give her her breakfast. Then Mimi and I got the trash together and my Mimi told me to go get dressed for school I really didn't want to go because I really wanted to be with my mom and that's what I told my Mimi but my Mimi wanted me to go to school. I felt so overwhelmed the thought of going to school and all I would be thinking about is my mom I wouldn't be able to focus so I had a panic attack because I felt like my Mimi wasn't listening. My mom heard me crying so she called me upstairs and told me to breathe and after a few minutes I had calmed down. Even though I didn't want to go to school I did anyway. The day was normal like any other day I couldn't stop thinking about my mom though. When it was time for gym class I was hanging out with my friends like normal but then my gym teacher came up to me and said I was getting checked out. I felt like something was wrong so I grabbed my stuff and walked up to the office. I was expecting my Mimi or papal but when I walked into the office I saw my dad.
