A Whole New Life; Book 2: Alone

Chapter 6

Cameron's POV

I wake up with a jolt. I look around and see I'm in my room. I place my hand on my neck and find that it's not cut. I look at my arm and see that there is no deep gash in it. It was just another nightmare. I walk out of my room and get a glass of water. I gulp down the water in less than thirty seconds and climb back into bed.

Aqua's POV

Thinking about Cameron suddenly made me tense up. I felt like I was going to have an outburst. No, not an outburst. Worse than an outburst! I run upstairs to my room, slam the door, lock it and grab my books and toss them around. I grab my movies and throw them all over the place. I walk into my bathroom and pound on the mirror until it broke. I grab the chair from my desk and smash it onto the wall. And for last, I kick the door until it falls off its hinges. Then I collapse onto the floor and started crying and screaming. Then as soon as that starts, it starts raining really heavily.

Jennifer's POV

For some reason, Aqua ran upstairs to her room and slammed the door. Willow and Amandla asked me what was wrong so I told them to give her some time. For the past few minutes, we've been hearing stuff bang against the walls and drop onto the floors.

"What the hell is going on up there?" asked Sam. Before I could give an answer, there was a really loud crash that was followed by screaming and sobbing. Then came a really loud crash of thunder and bright flashes of lightning. Oh no. Josh and I know what this means. We all run upstairs and find the door to Aqua's room off its hinges and on the floor. We walk in and find almost everything destroyed. We see Aqua on the floor her knees to her chest while her hands are on her head and she's crying really badly. Josh and I run up to her and try to calm her down. I'm saying her name and Josh is trying to get her to hold still so she can show us what happened. But Aqua's being really stubborn right now. She keeps moving and struggling for us to let go.

"Let me go! I just want to die! Just let me die!" Aqua yelled.

"Josh, hold her down. Try to distract her while I get the sleep medicine," I said. Josh nods. I run into the bathroom and find a needle and put some of the sleep medicine into the needle and run back into Aqua's room. Josh turns her around to face him and tries to hold her as still as possible as I remove the sleeve of her shirt and insert the needle into her shoulder. She keeps moving and screaming as she slowly fades away into a deep sleep. As Aqua falls asleep, her head falls to the side. Josh picks her up and carries her to her bed and pulls the sheets over her. We all go back downstairs and decide that we need to take Aqua to a therapist. We need to know strategies on how to do something before something like this happens. Hopefully, the therapist can tell us how to avoid all of this.
