Broken Doesn't Mean Fixed

Are you sure?

I started coughing. My throat hurt and my wrist was sore. I can not die can I. This time I didn't go through a ghost phase. I went straight to waking up in a hospital bed with a bandage around my left wrist. I screamed with disappointment and pain. I look around the room with little tears forming in my eyes and my mom is in a chair beside my bed. She's holding my hand. The one with the bandage. I notice she's staring at me with wide eyes. Probably from the scream. "Your alive. Agains" she states with a smile. "Yeah thanks mom" I role my eyes. "Honey. Why again?" She asks. Then I frown.

We sat there in silence for a while until my mom broke the silence "So the doctor said you could lave as soon as you woke up. You have school today" she said trying to smile. "Great" I role my eyes. "Lets just go" I say getting up. I take off my dress thing and put on the clothes my mom provided. It's a closed room and it's only my mom so whatever.

I just realized. I haven't seen Nick in a while. As soon as we got in the car I decided to call him. It only takes on ring before he picks up.

"Hey Skylar. You okay?" He asks

"Hey Nick. I'm fine. I just got back from the hospital"

Then there was a pause.

"For what?" He asks

"Um" then I look to mom for advice. She nods. "Well Nick to tell you the truth I tried again"

"No Skylar you didn't."

"Look Nick I'm sorry. It's honestly a lot to handle being a teenage girl fighting suicidal thoughts and depression" then I sigh.

"Sky you should know I'm always here for you. Look I've gotta go but I love you Skylar. Your a strong boss ass bitch okay?"

He makes me laugh. "Okay. Love you to. Bye"

Then I hung up. "Well that was a nice chat honey. Your brother loves you so much" then we pull into the driveway. "Yeah I guess he does" I smile.
I got out of the car and ran to the door. I did not want Lisa or Jess pulling up to take me away. No no no no. But instead Harley shows up in his convert able. "Hey" he waves at my mom. "Oh Harley your here to get Skylar" then she waves back. "Okay have fun at school Skylar. If you call me and you need to come home I won't even hesitate" she smiles. "Seriously? Fine" then I walk up to the passenger side of Harley's car and plop down in the seat. My mom waves one last time before going in the house. As soon as the door closed I opened the door again. "Thanks for pretending to pick me up" then I try and sit up but Harley grabs my hand. "No we are doing this together. We almost have every single class together. The rest you have Lisa or Jess. It's gonna be okay Skylar" then he moves our hands to make them lock together. "Okay" is all I say before he starts driving off to school.
We arrive at school and I already don't wanna be here. It's in the middle of fourth period after lunch so everyone will stare at me. "Harley everyone will stare" I say as I start gripping his hand tighter. "We have math together it's fine. I'll walk in with you" Then he shakes our hands and let's go. "Come on" then he runs around the car to open my door. "Thanks"
We walk up to the front school doors and like always after lunch they're locked. Great. So if forces me to press the door bell. One minute later the secretary's voice come out of the doorbell.
"Who is it?" She asks. She's kinda rude.
"It's Skylar Trayton and Harley Stray" I state with a nervous voice.
Then we hear the door click. Harley opens it for me. We walk in and turn to the left. Like always and walk straight up the stairs. My school was big. Very big. That's why I hate it so much. Harley was still holding my hand through all of this. I love him as a friend.
We got to the top of the stairs and went for our lockers. Mine was three away from Harley's witch kinda sucked but the good news was the Lisa and Jessica surrounded me with their lockers so it's okay.
I grab my math and option stuff and head to math class. It's five class rooms away from our lockers so it made it feel like the walk of death.
I arrived before Harley and froze when I got into the doorway. Everyone was crying. Then Harley's hand on my shoulder struck me back into reality and we walked in. I saw everyone shoot a look my way with smiles of grief on their faces. Why? As soon as I take my seat at the front of the room I realize we're watching a movie. It's about...me?
It's the news broadcasts. Of me. I was sleeping in both. My mom was being interviewed. I don't remember being told any of this happened. "So Miss Trayton. Your daughter has no signs of illness for her brain? Even after that traumatic event?" The news lady asks. My mom looks so pretty on camera. "Well no she doesn't. It's a miracle really. I just...I can't answer anymore" and then my mom rushes back into the room while the rest of the rapporteur try and drop bombing questions on her. All screaming over one another. My mom just closed the door on them. Then the lady turns back around to face the camera and states "This has been both tragic and a miracle for the Trayton family. We wish them the the best. This is Maricia Lows and this is channel 16 news" then the screen goes black.
Then my math teacher Mrs.Kray stands up from her desk that's to the left of the smart board. She saw me in the front of the room cause my desk just has to be in the front and she smiles with tears in her eyes. But she doesn't mention me. She knows I wouldn't want to be mentioned. That's why I like her. She just doesn't mention me. "So class the homework is page 153-155 okay? So don't forget to finish it for tomorrow" then she points at me and the bell rings and she motioned me to go and hug her. So I do. "Your amazing Skylar. Don't forget it" then she pulls away out of the hug and giggles "I saw you park in my spot you bad ass. Your okay though?" She asks. "Yeah I'm fine" I smile. "Are you sure?" She asks again. "No" I politely say and exit the class.
