Suggested Song: Into the Unknown by Blackchords

Carmen's POV

"What?! Are you serious?! What the fuck dude! Why didn't you call me or something?! Why didn't you take her to the fucking hospital?!" I heard a slight voice yell

My eyes were still closed and my body wasn't ready to move, I could just hear people talking in the distance.

"I don't know! I was scared! I didn't know what to do!" Another voice yells back.

I feel myself start to twitch and become slightly agitated now. I twist my body slightly and try to relax again.

"You're right! I'm sorry... Just... I knew she wasn't doing well... I should've been here to help... It's not your fault" The first voice replies in a less frustrated tone.

Suddenly, both the voices move into a whisper and become closer. I feel a cold hand touch my neck. I don't move as I become stiff and confused.

"Is she still breathing? She hasn't... Moved much" One asks nervously

"Yeah" The other replies

I open my eyes slightly and see the lights on brightly and George and Alex leaning over the back of the couch, staring at me concerned.

"Are you okay?" Alex asks gently and I sit up slowly and nod, rubbing my eyes tiredly.

He looks down at me, very concerned.

"We need to talk, Carmen" Alex says sternly and George and Alex walk around and sit on the couch across from me.

"Why did you do it?" Alex bluntly starts off

They both look at me sincerely and quietly. I just stare off at the wall behind them. How was I supposed to tell them about why I did it? I started to trace my fingers over the material on the bandage and think about a response.

"I don't know..." I respond

"Please tell us the truth Carmen. We don't want something bad to happen. And dwelling on how you feel, is only going to make yourself feel worse" Alex says, leaning forward slightly

I sigh. Maybe telling someone would help. And I don't have to tell them everything. But somethings getting off my mind might make it easier to deal with them.

"I saw something..." I say quietly

George and Alex look at each other, slightly concerned, then they looked back at me. Giving me their full attention.

"What did you see?..." George asks

"You know that... Abandoned building off the highway... In the forest?" I ask

"I don't think so" Alex replies

"Okay well... It used to be a hospital... But I go there when I feel upset because of... Past history there... And it was torn down recently. It hurt me a lot and I guess I had a bit of a break down... But I started seeing things as I walked back... Shadows... And... Voices  calling my name from the distance and stuff... I guess I just wasn't in the right mind and it led me to old... Tendencies" I say

Alex nods slowly and George stares at me, slightly shocked.

"Do you know why?" George asks and Alex thinks it over

"No... I-I really don't..." I say, looking at both of them

"Maybe you should talk to someone. Like a professional. They will be able to help you better than we can" Alex says

I nod and look down at the ground in front of me. I stand up and look at them both, with a smile solemn smile and I walk off down the hall to my bedroom. I grab my phone off my bed and lie down. I put some music on quietly through my speaker and stare at the ceiling.
