Chapter 33: The last call

It's 3AM. I'm staring at the ceiling. It's dark outside and I'm all cozy under my blanket. I feel pain in my chest but the  weird part is, I don't really care. Darlene, Ben and Mariel went to visit their cousin Kathrine who just got her first child. They're really close and Kathy invited us to come over, of course I'm too sick to travel so I'm staying home. They didn't want to leave me all by myself but I told Darlene I can always call the neighbours if I need something... Obviously that's not going to happen. Imagine me calling to Matthew's parents. So now, here I am tearing up on my bed. 

Maybe I want to die... I mean there's no point of just suffering here, plus it's hurting my family. I assured Darlene I can stay home alone for one night without hurting myself. I'm not too sure about my promise to her. 

Okay now it's hurting, a lot. Cold sweat is running down my body and I'm not feeling too good... I want to puke and faint but I can't even move my body. What the hell is happening to me? Is this what dying feels like? I look at the clock, it's 3:55.

Taking a knife and just ending this pain would make everything a lot easier. I feel tears running down my cold cheek, this is it... My life has came to it's end. I'm surrounded by the darkness that's pulling me in. I feel like a tree that has just got struck by a lightning. I sob and try to hide myself but the pain finds it's way to my body. I gasp for air, I can't think straight.

There's really no one I could call. Mariel is with her parents and if I'd call her... No that's just not an option. I grab my phone holding my right hand on my mouth trying to calm down.

I need to call Matt. He needs to know that I still love him... My hands are shaking and I try to dial his number.

It goes straight to voicemail. I cry even harder and try calling again.

No answer. His phone is dead or something. 

There's no time left. I need to record a voicemail.

"Matt... Um it's me, Mia. " My voice is shaking and I can barely speak at all. "I don't know where are you or who are you with but I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry. I still love you with all my heart, I really do Matt. " I stop and stare at the ceiling trying to keep my shit together. "The reason I called... I just... Never mind. "

And I hang up the phone. He doesn't care about me anymore. Then I choose an another number.

"Mia? "

I inhale.

"C-Cameron... " I stutter.

"Mia are you okay? "

"I'm not feeling too good but please don't tell anybody and just listen to me okay? " I sob. 

"What's wrong? Mia answer me! "

"Look I just... wanted to.... " 

"I'm calling the ambulance now. " 

"No! Cameron please don't! Just listen to me... " I try not to relapse. "If this will be the last call I make, I wan't you to tell Matt what really happened and that I love him. Cameron I love Matt more than anything in this whole entire world. And I care about you too, I don't know if I ever thanked you for helping me that night at the club. You were there for me... "

Cameron's not answering but I can hear his heavy breath.

"Just don't tell anyone okay? " I cry.

"Mia... Please don't go. " 

"Cam, make sure Matt's okay. Make sure he gets over me and goes on with his life. You both are blessed with a good life, don't waste it... " 

"Mia please don't say that, please don't cry. "

"Just promise that you'll be fine, that you won't miss me too much. " I can't breathe. "Promise me Cam... " I whisper.

"Don't hang up the phone. " He said to me. I close my eyes. The salt water is burning under my eyelids.

"Mia are you there!? Answer me! Mia! " 

MARIEL'S POV

"Hey, where are you? " I'm calling Matt. His flight left LA last night at 4 am and he must be really tired since it's 8 in the morning

"I'm at the airport. " His voice is raspy. He probably didn't get any sleep last night.

"I'll come pick you up. " I turn the keys and start the car. 

"What about your parents? " Matt asked me.

"Oh I told them we're surprising Mia so they are staying at my cousins house for one more night. I left early this morning. " I sigh.

"I guess neither of us got any sleep last night? " It sounded like a small laugh yet more like a statement. 

"Indeed... But hey I'll be there as soon as I can. I can't really talk right now since I'm driving. Go get us some starbucks! " I say to Matt.

"Yeah, call me when you get here. "

I turn on the radio. Mia's probably sleeping right now s I don't want to call her. She's going to be so happy when she sees Matt. I am so excited and a little nervous. 

Finally I'm at the airport and I see Matt waiting for me. He threw his bag on the backseat and sat right next to me. I lift my sunglasses up and look at his face. He seems sad.

"Hey. How are you feeling? " I ask him and he gave me my coffee.

"Nervous. Now let's drive. " He said to me and I start driving.

We didn't speak that much. Matt was on his phone or looking out from the window.

"Should we call Mia? " I look at him and he shook his head.

"I want it to be a surprise. Plus she's probably sleeping anyway. " 

"Alright then. " 

"We are getting close. I know these streets... " Matt was nervously playing with his sleeves.

Then we both saw something terrible, I couldn't believe my eyes. It's something I can't explain, I could feel my heart dying. I stopped the car and covered my face. Matt got out from the car running to our house. I open my door and follow him. 

There's an ambulance right in front of our house. I see Jake standing next to the car completely emotionless.

"Jake! " I yell. He looked at me. Matt collapsed on the ground crying.

"What is going on!? " I sob.

"This morning, I came home. No one was answering the doorbell so I found the spare key under the flower pot... I walked in and I noticed no one was home... " Jake looked down. "Until I went upstairs. Her door was open. I thought she was asleep but when I tried to wake her up... She... "

I knew what he was going to say.

"Excuse me, do you know this girl? " A man who was wearing white clothes walked closer to me.

"Yes she is my cousin. Can you tell me what's going on?! " I cry. 

"We need some information and we don't know about her parents. Can you go with her to the hospital? How familiar are you with her situation? "

I look at Matt. Jake is kneeling next to him and trying to calm him down.

"Jake I'm going with her. " I wipe tears off from my cheek and get in to the ambulance with Mia. She's lying on the bed senseless. I'm not allowed to touch her so I just sit in a corner. The sirens went off and we start driving to the ICU. 

I try to focus but I can't. The nurse is asking me a bunch of questions.

"I need to call my parents. " I say. That exact second I realize I left my bag in to my car...
