regret

chapter 36

Michaels POV. 😳😱

I wonder where Mandy is?
She is never late to school. I was unable to text her over the weekend because I was with Tommy. Man I missed him. He is the best thing that has happened to me. My only problem is that he lives so far away. He lives in Melbourne so I need to take  plane there every time I want to visit him. But very soon he'll be with me 24/7.

I stand up to go search for Mandy around her favorite spots.

I first check the girls bathroom and since there were girls inside I couldn't go in so I asked a girl to check inside for me.

"Why are you looking for her? I'm right here." She says batting her eyes lashes seductively.

I just chuckle a little and leave her there. I saw her seductive smile drop when I pushed her hands of me and walked away but I don't care. I'm looking for Mandy here not whatever that was.

I search for her in the garden where Mr Bryce always is. She calls him Mr B.

"Hey Mr Bryce, have you seen Mandy anywhere?" I ask him.

He turns around and looks at me kind of shocked.

"Oh hey Michael, uhm no I haven't seen Mandy today I'm sorry." He says while smiling and dusting his fingers.

"Do you have any idea where she might be I really need to find her." I say.

"Try asking that boyfriend of hers, what's his name again. Doorus? Of something along there." He says.

I laugh a little and correct him.

"Yeah I really don't care about that boys name." He says and we both laugh.

"Okay thank you Mr Bryce." I say and wave and he does the same.

I really need to tell Mandy about this whole Darius situation. I've delayed it for too long now. I know Mandy would never do it but still if I don't tell her now she might end up doing it with Darius and that's the last thing I want.

I have searched the whole school and not one sign of her. I guess I have no choice but to ask Doorus. Oh Mr Bryce how you crack me up. I laugh at myself for that thought.

As I was walking towards them I see them all laughing and high fiving each other. Megan was looking annoyed and Jason had this smug look in his face while Darius was counting some money.

It can't be.

No this might not be what I think it is.

But why else would Mandy not come to school?

My blood starts to boil and I head towards them taking big steps in their direction.

I reach them and Megan changes from her bored mood and now has a seductive look on her face.

"Hey Michael what brings you here?" She says.

I ignore her and turn my attention to Darius.

"Where the fuck is she?" I ask him.

"The fuck are you talking about?" He says looking at me angrily and confused.

"You know who the fuck I'm talking about where the hell is Mandy?" I ask. I am beyond annoyed by this guy.

"How the fuck should I know where she is? Just get away from me bro." He says slightly pushing me away with his arm and turns back to Jason.

"Isnt she you're supposed girlfriend? Just tell me where the fuck she is" I say now in his face.

"Oh yeah she has the flu or something I, I don't know just go away man. You're starting to fucking annoy me." He says then turns his back to face me. I hurriedly run out of school and go straight to Mandy's house.

I knock on the door.

Nobody.
I knock again.

Still nobody.

I decide to call her but she doesn't answer her phone. I can hear it ringing inside the house.

I run to the back door and look everywhere for a key. Nothing.

I twist the knob and the door opens.

Seriously?

I go inside and call her name but nobody answers. I head upstairs to check the rooms. She wasn't in the first and second room I checked but when I checked the third door I heard the shower running.

I knock on the door to her in suit but no reply.

"Come on Mandy I know you're in there I can hear the water running." I shout through the door.

Silence.

I start to worry.
I call her name for the last time. When she doesn't respond I open the door slightly peeking in and
Look around the fogged up room and can see her. As I was about to leave I see her on the bathroom floor with a razor in her hand and blood flowing from her wrist.

I run to her and crouch down next to her. I take a towel and press it to her wrist to stop the bleeding. "Oh no. No no no no." I panic.

I check her pulse.

Nothing.

I take my phone out and call an ambulance, tell them the address and in a matter of the longest two minutes ever they were here.

I watched as they took her inside the car and I hopped in.

During the ride the paramedics were plugging things into her and asking me questions like what happened and when did I find her and my relation to her.

Of course I lied and said I was her boyfriend or they wouldn't let me in.

Once we arrived at the hospital I followed them to the room they were taking her into until a nurse stopped me and said I couldn't go any further than this.

"No I need to see if she's okay." I said frantically trying to push past her but she still blocked me.

"We understand about your worry sir but we have the best doctors here and she's in safe hands. Just sit down and fill in some forms the doctor will keep you updated as soon as he can." She says and I look at the door she entered one last time before sitting down and looking at the paperwork.
