Careful What You Wish For

Chapter 26- Page

I hadn't slept in about a week.

I hadn't eaten in probably 2 days.

Hadn't drank water in...I don't even know how long.

I lay next to Grace, staring at the ceiling.

I drank from the whiskey bottle, thinking about what I did the previous week.

What I did to Grace's mom.

She was still here in the hospital.

Although, no doubt, she deserved it, I felt kinda bad.

After all, she was still Grace's mom. Even if she was a crappy homophobic one that probably now hated Grace even more, she was still her mom.

Her mom that has been abused by Tom, too.

She was still a human being.

She was more of a human being than me at this point.

I had almost killed her. If she had said that word one more time, I would've.

I sighed, closing my eyes.

I was reminded of the reason I hadn't slept. Every time I closed my eyes I just saw her laying there on he floor.

I opened them and sat up.

I was so tired I could hardly function.

I just wanted to sleep.

I couldn't.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her.

I couldn't even close my eyes without remembering what I'd done- what I'd almost done.

I went into the bathroom and pulled out what I hoped would help.

I grabbed a rubber glove and tied it around my arm and uncapped the needle.

"Sorry, Grace." I said before plunging the needle into my arm.
