How To Save a Life

Chapter 4

"Stupid bitch!" A familiar voice laughs as she pushes me down. They brothers lift me up so I could continue getting hurt. I scream "why!" And the scene changes completely. I'm sitting in my room alone with Luke. He leans in to kiss me but the brothers push me out of his embrace. Ava appears out of no where and brings him close to her. I cry as I fall into a dark abyss of my own fears. I finally landed with a splat. I spring back up "hello?" I turn around in every direction looking for a way out. The darkness seemed more and more empty as I stayed longer. I start running with my arms extended trying not to run into anything. I stub my toe on an unknown object "SHIT!" I fall down gripping my toe tightly. The pain went away almost instantly as I stood up but I still had a slight limp. I ventured forward dragging my feet. Suddenly I lose my balance and fall once more only this time I fall into a well. I look above me to see...her, Ava, the brothers, and Luke all standing above me pointing. Ava has her hands over Luke's mouth as he struggles to reach me. I reach up but something grabs me and pulls me down into a shadowy part of the well. The scene changed once more and I was sitting in a chair strapped down with a single light dangling over my head. My hands were bound with handcuffs with rusty blades that cut me every time I struggle. I still only feel faint, sharp pains. My mouth is covered with a bloody cloth that reeks with an unusual odor-more specifically rotten flesh. A dark figure emerges from the darkness around me into the light. "You're fears will become a reality...one...by...one." The figure's raspy voice called from the shadows. The voice sounded oddly familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on who's voice it was. The voice sounded familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. "You...are...nothing" it called. "No one...will ever...love you. You have failed everyone. Including the one you love. You are supposed to be the one your brothers and sister look up to. You sit in your room pondering whether or not to stay alive another day. You should be helping them. You are selfish. People leave because you are weak." I use my face muscles to wiggle the cloth off my mouth, gagging in the process. "Stop it!" I yell at the voice. The voice laughs. "You'll never be worth it." I scream to drown out the voice. I jolt awake while screaming waking Luke up causing him to yell. "AHH! Raven are you okay?" I sit shaking in my seat with tears streaming down my face. Luke stands up to walk over to me "no" I say. "I have to go. I don't want you to see me like this." Luke turned pale as he looked down "what happened" I look down to see my shirt stained with blood spelling out "Failure" I lift my sleeve to see nothing is there. "I don't understand. How is there..." I freeze. Luke raised an eyebrow in confusion. I stand up and walk to the upstairs bathroom. I lock the door behind me. "What is happening to me?" Is all I manage to say before I burst into tears. A few minutes pass and I unlock the door and step out. "TOP OF THE MORNIN TO YA LADDIES" is the first thing I hear. Luke is watching one of my favorite youtubers: Jacksepticeye. "Really Luke" I laugh as I sit next to him. Suddenly I hear another voice from the tv "What if bigface was a creepypasta" it's Markiplier! I immediately become more interested than I was. "I didn't know you watched these guys" Luke broke the silence. I rubbed my finger on his lips while I was still watching the tv and saying "SHHHHH" the whole time. He chuckled a bit. He stood up and walked to the kitchen. "AHHH" I heard marks screeches from the video and I laughed. A sensation of familiar smells filled the room. I turned around to find Luke..cooking?! "I didn't know you cook??" I said confused. Luke smirked at me "you're never around much anymore. I learned to cook for times like this. When my parents leave, I'm alone so I figured out for myself" he smiled as he handed me a plate full of bacon, eggs, and a hash brown. I took a bite of the bacon. It was extremely crunchy, exactly how I like it. The eggs aren't runny and they're scrambled, exactly how I like it. And finally the hash brown was cooked all the way through but now burnt, perfect. I let out a groan of satisfaction. "This is amazing!" I say with my mouth full. Luke laughs and walks back to the kitchen. He brings out liquor, I couldn't see the name. He grabs two glasses and sits back down next to me. "Want some?" He asked. I nodded with food still in my mouth. I finished eating and took a sip of the liquor. It burned my throat as it slid down. I coughed a bit but wanted more. Luke smirked a bit as I held out my glass begging for more. 4 drinks in, I was..how should I put it..gone.
