Numb

Chapter 34

AN- So, I had a realization. I really only write this story when I'm having a rough time, because how else can someone write a story like this one, without having experience with it themselves. Makes sense, since I'm writing this right now...Heh. So many people are dying around me lately. In a small town that is very odd. I didn't know this last one very well, but he was in my class. Kinda troubled, many thought he had issues at home. Got in a bit of trouble  once in a while. He shot himself. "On accident" I hope that's true. Then there is her... she was one of the only adults I've ever trusted. It's been weeks, and I still haven't accepted it. My teacher since I was 8 years old. So, yay for you guys? Have fun with this chapter I guess... Sorry for the really long AN. Also, I have like 5 assignments for a college class due in two hours. All of which take at least 30 minutes, so like...that's fun. Also, pretty sure my best friend is becoming suicidal. Life is just great ain't it?

Amy's POV
I hang up the call and lay my head against the back of the couch. None of this seems real. I close my eyes and just rest for a second, sighing loudly as I squeeze the bridge of my nose. I want to sleep, but I know it should be in my bed, not on the couch. I start to go up the stairs and then hear a scream.

I immediately start sprinting up the stairs, and hear another scream coming from Christina's room. Katherine is already running out of her room, and both of us enter Christina's room only to see her thrashing around on the bed, her eyes tightly shut.

Katherine rushes forward and grabs her hands, trying to stop her from moving around so much. Both of us start saying her name, until finally I yell, "Christina!!"

She wakes up and sits up frantically. She is saying something, but I can't quite make it out until she gets a little louder.

"I'm so sorry...Lise...Sorry...I couldn't...". She is crying, and Katherine just hugs her. After a few minutes she calms down, and we sit on either side of her as her breathing evens out. She closes her eyes as she opens her mouth, starting to speak.

"I was just sitting on the couch. Just scrolling through random things on my phone. I didn't know...that whole time, she could've been waiting for someone to come. Someone to help her. And I was there. Just downstairs when she..." Chris breaks off for a second, taking a deep breathe as more tears began to flow.

Katherine puts her hand on her shoulder and I grab her hand, squeezing it a little bit, trying to be reassuring. She takes a deep breathe and starts talking again.

"I didn't even know what was going on, when my phone started blowing up. Even though I had most notifications off, I never have turned them off for people I follow, since I don't generally follow people that spam me a bunch, you know? Those were the ones dming me. All of them were so scared. One of them sent me the video...I dropped my phone and ran. Her door was locked, that's why the lock is broken by the way. I had to kick the door open. I didn't even know I could do that." She chuckles bitterly as she says this, tears still running down her face.

"She was just...hanging there. She wasn't moving, Charles was going crazy. I...I don't remember how I got her down. I just did. She wasn't...I didn't even think she was breathing. I guess she was...if I was just one minute later, she would be dead. She could be..."

Katherine just leans over and hugs her, I lean against her side as she cries.

What if we never get over this. What if she never recovers? I don't know what we will do...
