I'm Scared, it'll hurt

Part Five: The End

Part Five: The End

My heart was beating rapidly, I felt exhausted.
I took in a deep breath, I wasn't ready to face the day.
I felt a deep tiredness, it almost felt sudden but I knew it wasn't.
It'd been creeping over me for days, and now I was suddenly more aware of it.
I reluctantly got out of bed and headed for the bathroom, I needed to shower before I went out running.
My phone rang and I immediately answered it, 'Hello, Alice speaking,' I said, my voice clear.
'Hey,' greeted WIlliam, 'League later?'
'Can't today,' I replied, 'Work.'
It was a lie, but in that moment I couldn't care less.

--------------------------------

This morning I didn't get to go running.
After my shower I collapsed, passed out.
I barely managed to get back to my bed.
It was strange, how I knew I couldn't have become so tired so suddenly, and yet that's how it felt.
I now sat by the window, my face pressed against the cold glass, I was shivering as I stared out at the snow.
There was an ache in my bones, a desire to do something besides sit here.
My legs felt like lead as I lifted one at a time, trying to make it out the door.
Maybe I could run, I stared up at the night time sky.
Or that patch of snow looked nice, with two lines running through the snow on either side of it.
I allowed myself to fall into the snow.

Just this morning, nineteen year old female Alice Winters was found dead on the road outside her home.
So far it's been said that she first died of hypothermia, and then was later hit by the car that found her.
So far none of her family has said anything to the public.
