That One Night (Book One)

Chapter Eight I need help

Chapter Eight

Saras POV

Every time I close my eyes I replay the night of Kielys death. Us spalshing around in the pool. I think of all the times I never cared to notice certain aspects of her. And how she practically held our family together. She was always stunning and striking. Now she has been taken from us. She is gone.

I imagine her beautiful green eyes closing as she looks at me one final time before going into a eternal sleep. Nightmares devour my mind and I wake up screaming. Every single time her skin turns leathery and her head falls off laughing at me. It is the most scariest sight.

I wake up panting. Its my last day in the hospital. I've been here for a while on suicide watch. I'll always have a nurse poking around at me but by nightfall they all leave. The doctors randomly sedate me and by now they are used to me screaming in the middle of the night. Always asking me how I feel. I feel like noone could possibly understand. Even though their doing their job everytime a person asks I refrain from punching them in the face.

I wake up screaming but as usual, no one bothers to check up on me.

Day and night passes but I avoid sleep because of those nightmares. But when I sleep I don't wake up for days.

I have given what Taylor said some thought but its so scary to go down that road. My parents haven't even bothered to visit me. The hospital tries contacting them every day but they never answer the phone. They don't even know Kiely is dead.

I try not to think about it but there's nothing to do so I end up replaying memories. Finally someone opens the door and I get excited that I'm finally leaving.

"Miss Parrison. We are still unable to contact your parents. Is there any other gaurdian who you could stay with until your parents return?" I don't have any relatives other than my aunt Jenna so I call her. She is just barely older then me but I chose not to tell the nurse this last bit of information.

She also lives isolated from the city with no internet so she probably never saw my suicide video. I pick up the receiver and dial the number my mom had given me. In case I couldn't reach her in a emergancy.

Never thought I'd need it.

"Hello? Aunt Jenna? Its me. Sara."

"Sara? I've been worried sick about you. I've been trying to contact you for months but your family have been missing since god knows how long." Months? But mom and dads vacation was supposed to end! Where the hell were they? But then a single thought closes the rest. Aunt Jen doesn't know Kielys dead. I dont want to be the one to break it to her. I really need my parents.

"Did mom and dad extend their vacation?" I ask aunt Jenna.

"They were supposed to be back four months ago... Is everything all right?.

No. I think to myself. Nothing is okay. I take a deep breath even though I'm crying.

"No Aunt Jen, Kiely-" I pause taking a breath. "She died. She drowned and-" I'm just a mess crying at this point. "I tried killing myself and I'm at a hospital. The reason I'm calling is because I haven't heard from mom and dad. I barely survived what happpened and I'm scared." Aunt Jenna doesn't respond for a bit.

"Kiely is gone?" She sounds like a child and I remind myself she is barely older then me. "I'm coming, don't worry we'll find your parents and contact the police. We'll get through this. You can stay with me as long as its needed."

I put the phone on hold and hand it to a nurse who tells Aunt Jenna the address as I cave and finally fall asleep.

I wake up to someone shaking me a bit.

"Wake up sleepy head." I crack my eyes open and Aunt Jenna stares at me with watery eyes. I race up and hug her. Ever since I've been admitted in this hospital I missed my parents like crazy. And Aunt Jenna is like a third one. So I feel overjoyed knowing shes here.

"We're leaving kiddo. I've done the paper work and I'm going to be your new gaurdian for a while. We'll have fun and watch movies and just-" she hugs me while she cries. I find her comforting and I nodd as she takes my hand and we leave the hospital for good.
