Ocean

𝔾𝕦𝕚𝕝𝕥

Soon I said good bye to Torin and left the hospital. I was constantly looking behind me to see if Ocean was following me. The guilt from what happened to Torin and the anxiety from constantly worrying about being followed was eating a hole inside of me. I couldn't handle it. When I got home I broke down and sobbed. I hated this and I needed to find a way to get rid of Ocean once and for all. When I composed myself and stopped crying, I got out my laptop and looked at what had been written.

'She found out that ocean had powers and she went to see Torin in hospital. She felt guilty about what happened, after all it was her fault'

Who was writing this, why were they doing it? Just then my mum called out from down the stairs.

"Stellar!! Why are you not at school!" She yelled.

"Because mum, I'm old enough to make decisions for myself, I don't need you telling me what to do all the time!!!! I screamed.

It hurt to push her away but I couldn't let her in right now. I just couldn't.

She was quiet and looked like she was about to cry.

"Ok, if that's how you feel." She said.

I really just wanted to run up and give her a hug, it hurt to see her like this. But if I let her in, it would make things worse. This just added to my guilt.

I couldn't bare it. I walked over to the medicine cupboard and checked the date on my anti depressant medication, it was still in date. Slowly, I unscrewed the cap and tipped the lot onto my hand. I looked down and a single tear escaped my eye. I took the cup I keep in the bathroom off the sink and filled it with water. I took one pill and felt it slide down the back of my throat, two, three, four, soon I started to feel dizzy and just before I took the fifth pill strong hands grasped my arms. They spun me around and I was looking directly at my old friend, Everett.

"I thought you were gone" I said

" I told you I'd come back if you need me" he replied.

Everett was the only person I could trust he helped me through hard times in my life. Like when my dad left and when my sister died. He was my best friend, then one day I woke up and he was gone. My mind felt clear for the first time in ages but empty all the same. I never saw him again, until now.
