Drowning

Chapter 6

Thea

Twisting and turning twisting and turning, but why even bother when I couldn't even get the mental imagine of her lifeless body and the amount of bleach I had to pour to get rid of all her blood. At one point I didn't even think it would go away, so I thought of burning the house with myself in it.

It would be a historical tragic ending of two souls, but no I couldn't just leave without saying goodbye, not when there were so many things I was holding on to.

Although there wasn't much holding onto me.

maybe life would get better one day, that's what I am waiting for, but truly deep down I knew that life never gets better but over time we just get used to it.

"who do I think I am a poet hah pathetic" I told my self getting up to my bathroom.

Leaning on the stained sink I stared at myself in the mirror seeing a ghost in my reflection.

Dark circles around my eyes, my face paler than ever, my hair so messy I can't ever rake my fingers through it, my eyes swollen, my eye bags growing my the second.

"Wow I look-" I was interrupted by my phone ringing.

"No caller id great what does he want" I sighed

"What do you want now, I need to go to sleep"

"That's no way to answer you phone now is it" a familiar voice questioned.

"Who is this, omg are you the person who sent someone to my house and-" I couldn't finish before I was cut off.

"Oh babe I don't know what you're talking about" he said in a calm voice.

"I'm going to kill you, what could you possibly want"

"Not now babe you gotta wait for the ball" he said teasingly.

"Huh-" I said but he had already ended the call.

So I just brushed it off, thinking I was hearing things because of how tired I was. Laying in bed curling up and getting warm in my fuzzy blanket, I made scenarios in my head of me killing my father.

And suddenly the darkness overcame me.

"get up"

"what is she dead"

"I don't know she isn't responding"

"THEA"

"GET UP YOUR'E LATE"

Opening my eyes I find Cordelia and Yasmin standing above me. "what the fuck do you want" I asked them.

"You were supposed to pick us up for school 20 minutes ago" she snapped with a vulgar tone.

"Sue me I forgot I was a taxi driver"

"What are you, on your period" she questioned.

"No I just don't enjoy being awoken from my sleep, and who let you in anyways?" I asked

"Um your mom who else would"

"My mom is-"

"Your mom is what?" Yasmin interrupted.

"She's uh she's not home so who let you in"

"You're door was unlocked and what is that smell" Cordelia demanded an answer.

"How the fuck should I know, now leave i'm not going to school today i'm sick" I said fake coughing.

Then Cordelia spoke up "Whatever we'll be back to pick you up at 9 there's a frat party we're going to, and you are coming it's not a request, bye love you hope you feel better" and with that said she was gone, hearing the front door close, I got up and went to the bathroom.
