Diamond Eyes.
Chapter 5.
I woke up in a hospital bed.
I looked around me and everything was blurry.
I saw Natalie, and her head was resting on my chest.
She was crying. I opened my eyes all the way and she saw.
She immediately embraced me while crying.
I didn't know what happened.
I asked her, with a weak voice, "what happened?"
She gave me a fearful look, "I-I..don't know.."
We sat there in silence.
My mom wasn't there? Well, no shock.
All of a sudden, Natalie starts apologizing. "Jayde, I'm so so so sorry I didn't answer your calls.. I didn't know something was wrong! I'm so sorry, Jayde, I'm so sorry.." She trailed off, still crying, and hugged me again.
Just then, my mom walks in. She stands in the doorway, glaring at Natalie.
Natalie notices, and holds my hand for a second, then walks out.
My mom walks over to me, and sits where Natalie was sitting.
She stares at me, with a blank look. No tears, no emotion. Boy, she really doesn't care, I thougght to myself.
"Mom, what happened to me?" I asked, hoping she knew.
"We fought.. again. And, well, your bottle of anxiety medicine is empty, so I figure you overdosed..." she guessed, and she was right.
"Oh. I remember. I was hoping it was enough to kill me, since you wouldn't care anyways." I said, with anger, sadness, fear, worry, anxiousness.
She got up, and walked out. Natalie walked back in.
"Jay, what just happened? With your mom?" She asked, with a concerned tone and a concerned face.
"Nothing, Nat, don't worry about it." I gave her the, "I fought with her again, no worries," look.
Natalie sat there, and glanced at my arm.
There were fresh new cuts, exposed.
She looked at me, with worry in her eyes. She teared up.
"Jayde....what happened to your arm?" She asked, but she already knew the answer.
She sat there, crying. I didn't answer.
"Why didn't you tell me? I could've helped you. Do you even trust me?" She asked, getting angry.
"Natalie, It's not that I don't trust you... I just...I didn't want anyone to know." I said, trying to defend myself.
"How'd you get into the hospital?" She asked, seeming even more angry.
"I....I....tried to kill myself by overdosing on my medicine..." I said, starting to cry.
"Jay.. I..I..." she said, trailing off. She got up and ran out of the room.
I laid there, bawling my eyes out.
