Numb

Alternate Chapter 15 (Ending)

IMPORTANT AN- Hey, this isn't a new chapter. This is an alternate ending set after chapter 14. I'm a slow updater, so I wanted to give people the option to have an ending that is set.

Christina's POV

I am sitting on the couch, watching a movie when my phone starts blowing up. Usually, I only have notifications on for family, friends, and a few fans who I talk to occasionally. I pause the movie, and pick up my phone. I open up Instagram, and my eyes widen when I see the amount of messages coming in. I read the first one, and I frown for a second, confused. But then I read the next one, and the next. All of them are panicking about Lisa? I think? It's hard to tell, most of them are kind of made up of gibberish. That's when I see the link. I usually don't click on links, but this is one to a new video on Lisa's channel. I open up the link, and gasp when I see her. She is so pale, and looks horrible. I haven't seen her without makeup in weeks, and the change is startling.

"Hey guys. Lisa here, you are probably wondering what this video is about. I wanted to be the one to tell you guys, not my sisters." What is she talking about? Tell them what? "Anyway, you guys are the best fans anyone could ask for. Most of you are kind, honest, beautiful, and supportive. I love all of you, and that's why I have to say this. I'm not going to be here anymore." Wait, what does she mean she isn't going to be here anymore??? "I've had a rough year, and it's only gotten worse these past few months. I just can't do this anymore. And to all those people that have been sending me hate mail, I'm sorry for whatever I did to hurt you. I promise I didn't mean it, I'm sorry. You guys are going to have to be super supportive of my sisters, okay? This is going to be a little hard on them." She wouldn't, would she? "And remember, you are awesome! It's okay to be different, a little crazy, not too follow the crowd. That's okay, never change for anyone. I love you guys. Goodbye."

My brain scrambles to understand, and suddenly, it clicks. Lisa, my little sister, she is going to hurt herself, maybe she already did. I am dropping my phone and running up the stairs before the thought completely registers. I hear screaming, and realize it's me, screaming for my sister.

"LISA!!!! Lisa I'm coming! PLEASE DON'T!"

I make it to her door and try to open it. I scream again when I find it locked.

"LISA! PLEASE! Open the door! Lisa!!!"

I don't hear anything. I desperately slam my body against the door, I hear a cracking noise, but the door stays closed. I do it again, but nothing changes. I run down the stairs and grab my phone, calling 911.

"This is 911, what is your emergency?"

"MY SISTER! I think she is going to hurt herself. Or maybe she already did...I don't know. Please, I can't get her door open..." *I sob desperately*

"Okay, I need you to calm down, what is your name and address?"

I quickly tell the dispatcher where we are, before hanging up and racing back upstairs. I can't give up. I kick at the door, but again, it doesn't work. I start desperately slamming my whole body into the door, even as I hear sirens in the distance. I try telling again, but the only answer I hear is Lisa's cat yowling on the other side of the door.

I hear footsteps racing up the stairs, and I see two policemen racing up followed by paramedics. One of the policemen gently grabs my shoulders and pulls me away from the door, as the other one kicks right near the handle. It only takes him two kicks before the door crashes open. I desperately run at the door but the policeman holds me back. I fight him, and manage to get free and race into my little sister's room.

The first thing I see is a rope, and I am confused, because Lisa doesn't have a rope on her ceiling. My eyes move down, and then I see my little sister, my Lisa, hanging from that rope. The paramedics are cutting her down, but it is like everything is in slow motion. I freeze and hold my breathe, desperately praying to God that Lisa is alive.

I watch as the paramedics do CPR, one of them runs out of the room and returns with paddles. They shock Lisa once, twice, three times. Every time, I sob harder as her heart refuses to start. Eventually, the older paramedic shakes his head, and I watch his head bow for a second before his eyes move up to meet mine. I vaguely register my knees hitting the floor as my legs refuse to hold my weight any longer.

I hear the paramedic speaking, but it sounds like it is far away, through a long tunnel.

"...sorry..everything we could."

I look at him, and whisper, "What?"

He looks very sad, and then moves towards me, crouching down in front of me.

"I am very sorry, we did everything we could, but it was too late. She didn't make it.." He says again, slowly, and this time I hear him.

Everything seems to hit me at once and then I am screaming, sobbing. Somehow I ended up right over Lisa's body, and I desperately grab her shoulders and pull her up, part of me surprised by how easy it is. I hug her and cry over and over for her to wake up, to come back to us, but there is no answer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry? I am in a very...odd...mood. I felt like writing a death scene, and I have also wanted to give people who need fast closure a better option for this fic, instead of my rather sporadic updates. I could add in other reactions, but it seems unnecessary and too long, I want to keep this as only one chapter.
