Telling The Future

[Dying]

Alice was wearing a long sleeve dress now, same style just with long sleeves. Maybe it's because she feels colder lately because of her family loss and is comforting. She was under my bed, reading a book, she lives with me now and hasn't been going to school ever since she heard the news of her family. The funeral was a week ago, the deaths were three weeks ago. I laid down on my bed, then crawled around and bent over the bed so I was looking at her. "How are you today, lovely?" I asked, she looked at me, then went back to reading. I closed my eyes and sighed. "I'm pregnant with your baby", she said, I opened my eyes widely. "W-What?" I asked, she's pregnant?! "You heard me. I'm pregnant and the baby is ours", she said as she kept reading, she smiled a little. I never seen her smile for a while, I crawled off my bed and crawled under it beside her. She closed her book and looked at me, I was already staring at her.

"Wow", I said, I couldn't believe it... We are in grade ten and she already is pregnant! What am I going to do... How am I going to tell my mom?! "She's pregnant?" Lily asked as she walked into my room. "Ah, Lily", Alice said as she crawled out from under my bed, I did the same. Lily sat down and Alice and I sat down in front her leaning against the bed. "I found out the day you guys had sex", Lily said, I looked at her wide eyed, how the hell does she know that? On top of that, how the fuck did she know what sex is? She's six years old! "Also, why do you cut yourself? Alice", Lily said, Alice's eyes went wide and I looked at Alice in shock. "I'll leave", Lily said and stood up as she walked out of my room. I crawled so I was in front of Alice.

I grabbed her arms, "no...", Alice mumbled under her breath. I rolled up her sleeves and my jaw dropped. She had cuts on her skin, "oh my god baby! Why?!" I asked and looked up at her with tears in my eyes. "I'm so sorry! I thought you would never find out!" Tears rolled down her face, "I didn't know how to deal with anything so I did it...", she said as tears rolled down my face. We both cried and I rolled her sleeves back down and I hugged her tightly. "Please baby never do that again! It makes me feel so bad, it feels like I was never there for you when you needed me...", I forced the words out of my mouth. She hugged me back and she cried more. "I'm sorry, I won't do it again", she said as I kissed her cheek. She stood up and I did too, she hugged me then walked out of the room. "I'm gonna have a shower", she said and I heard the bathroom door lock.

I sat down on my bed, and stared at the ground, I was still crying. I heard the water turn on in the shower. Alice hopped into the shower and little did I know she had a blade with her. She leaned her back against the wall in the shower and put the blade on her wrist. I just sat on the bed, wondering why she would ever do that to herself. I wasn't there for her... "MATT!" She yelled from the the shower. I stood up and ran over to the washroom. She slit her wrist deeply, blood was not going to stop that easily on her wrist. I put my hand on the doorknob and tried to open the door. "ALICE!" I yelled, I wanted to get the door open to see what was wrong. She got out of the shower and she put on a towel, she unlocked the door but collapsed. I opened it, and saw a large blood puddle on the floor, she was laying on the floor, I put my hand over my mouth. I closed the door behind me and her eyes were closed, she wasn't breathing.

"A-Alice...", I forced out of my mouth, tears ran down my face and I knew they weren't gonna stop anytime soon. Her wet brown hair was covering her eyes and other parts of her face. I leaned back against the door, slid down the door so I was sitting, and had my hands on my forehead. "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS?! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!" I yelled, thick tears still ran down my face, can I bare this pain? This... Sorrow? I saw the blade on the shower floor, I crawled over shakily and turned off the shower, I grabbed the blade and put it against my wrist. Little did I know, Lily was on the other side of the door listening, Lily had a blank look on her face, no emotion. I slit my wrist deeply and I laid down beside Alice. "I love you...", I said as my vision got blurry and I closed my eyes, the last thing I saw was the love of my life, beside me, dead. Lily opened the door and stared down at us, a shadow covered her face. "M-Mommy...", she stuttered and my mother came up stairs and covered her mouth. I was dead, laying there beside my dead lover.

"Alice was pregnant too", Lily said as my mother called nine-one-one. "Y-Yes, my son and his girlfriend committed suicide i-in my washroom", my mother said, "t-twenty four pine d-drive", she said, Lily went onto her knees and picked up the blade. My mother hung up and tears rolled down her face. Lily stood up and threw the blade into the garbage. "I knew this was going to happen", Lily said as her mother stared at her. "H-How did you know it was going to happen?" My mother asked as she fell onto her knees and I heard sirens coming closer to our house. Lily walked out of the washroom and towards her room, "I can see the future", Lily said as she walked into her room and medics rushed into our house, they ran upstairs and took me and Alice away. My mother was left crying in the doorway of the washroom, my sister, Lily, was in her room, with only one tear running down her left cheek.
