Save Me, Ambrose

Gone

WARNING: This chapter, and the few after, have really explicit detailing. If you are not up for crazy or psychotic states of mind, I'd advise you to skip ahead. In this chapter, I had to go into a crazy and psychotic mental state as to imagine what Jayden is going through. It's not a nice place to be. So just...beware.

November 24: Jayden
I smile as I squeeze a piece of glass between my palm. I watched as the blood drops to the floor.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
It's satisfying. I laugh as smear the blood from my hand on the mirror. I smile at the reflection now peering back at me. I giggle before sitting down, my legs criss-crossed over each other. I begin rocking back and forth while humming the children's nursery rhyme, Ashes to Ashes.

My door opens and my eyes flash towards the intruder, a sickly sweet smile enters my face as I drop the razor and stare into AJ's eyes, rocking back and forth on my feet.
"Jayden, what's going on?"
"Me?" I giggle, "nothing!" I giggle again. AJ looks at me shocked.
"Is that a razor, Jay?"
"Of course it is! What else would it be?" I begin humming again as I smile at AJ. I could see her throat move as she swallows, my smile growing bigger.
"I'm gonna go-- is that blood on your mirror?" I glance at my mirror and begin laughing. I look at AJ, a frightened look on her face as she slams the door closes.
"But AJ! I just want to play!" I begin laughing again as I sit back down, rocking back and forth.

November 24: AJ
I run upstairs, holding my pounding heart as I collide into Colby. He gives me a worried look.
"What's wrong?"
"We need to leave this house, Colby. Call the mental hospital now!"
"Why? What's happened?"
"Jayden. She's got blood smeared on her mirror. She's gone, Colby. She's completely gone." I look behind me, afraid Jayden might be there, but she's not. "I'm going home, Colby. I'm not coming back here until she's gone." I push past Colby and run to my car. I glance back at the door, Colby was standing there giving me a confused look.
"Call them, Colby. Call them before it's too late!" I slip into my car and drive home.

I open the door, throwing the keys into the counter and jogging downstairs. Phil gives me a worried look but I run past him and into my bedroom. I grab my suitcase down from the top shelf and I begin shoving clothes into it. I grab my essentials from the closet, placing my phone and laptop in a carry on.
"AJ?" I jump and turn around, only to find Phil standing there. My heart was in overdrive.
"I need to leave here. She's fucking psychotic, Phil. She's lost her mind!"
"Jayden?"
"Yes! You should've seen it. There was blood everywhere! I've lost my best friend to her mind. She's gone. The Jayden I love is gone." I begin crying and Phil catches me before I hit the floor.
"It's ok, AJ. Jayden is going to be fine."
"No, Phil. You didn't see her. She's not going to be fine." I pass out due to the stress.

November 24: Phil.
I place AJ into the bed and call up Colby.
"What happened there, Colby? AJ just freaked out!"
"I don't know. Im scared to check."
"AJ's not allowed back there until Jayden is good. She really freaked out and I'm worried."
"I am too, Phil."
"Alright man, bye." I hang up and glance at AJ. She was muttering and then she wakes up screaming.
"No! No! No!" I grab AJ and pull her into my arms. She looks into my eyes, a look I've only seen once was there.
"Don't make me go there again. Please Phil. Don't make me go."
"I won't baby, I won't." I rock her back and forth as she falls asleep.

November 24: Jon.
"Hello?"
"Jon, I'm sorry man but...Jayden's gone?"
"What?"
"She's lost it. I just walked into her room, blood everywhere. She needs help."
"Oh no."
"What?"
"I've been there once, it took someone special to pull me out. She pulled me out. I can help her."
"And what if you go back?"
"I won't."
"Jon, I can't lose two people I'm so close to. AJ won't come here until Jayden is gone."
"Don't do anything, Colby. I will fix her."
"You better, or she's gone. I can't handle this right now."
"Don't worry, Colby."
"I'm worried, Jon."
"Don't." I hang up.
My baby girl has lost it. I need to help her. I can't lose her.
