It's fine, it's just life

"Yes?" I whisper.

"I'ma going to clean your back then baggage it." She says as I nod.

"Does it hurt?" She ask.

"N - no, I can hardly feel anything." I said as she sighs.

"Oh, dear." I hear her whisper.

"I'd do anything to be in your place."

"How have you been?" I ask.

"Good, dear."

"Edith, if you did not work for Jason, what do you think you'd be doing now?"

"I don't know, probably sitting down. I love cats, so I'm guessing I'd be sitting down with around twelve cats around me a shotgun in my basement, my floor covered with cat toys." Edith explains as I giggle.

I sigh slamming my locker door shut.

"What's got your panties twisted?" Jake ask me.

I don't wear panties. I thought.

"I miss Lilly." I blurt out.

"Me too." Bella says frowing.

I miss her more.

"Have you tried to text he? I've tried but she didn't respond." I explain as she crunched her eyebrows.

"Yea multiple times but, nothing." Bella said as I sigh getting worried.

"I'm sure she's fine. Why don't we go to her house?" Luca suggested.

"If we go to her house we'll be in the rich part of town. Plus we'll look like robber's if our broke asses are in a rich place like that." Alex said as I nod agreeing.

I sign as people look at us.

"See, we look like criminals." Axel says.

"Shut up." Bella says.

Bella sighs as we look at a glass door. I knock.

A few minutes later a man opens the door smiling.

"Hello, can I help you?" He ask.

"Oh, um we're Lilly's friends. We're from school we haven't seen her for two days. I - we just wanted to see if we can see her." Bella says smiling.

"Ah, I see. We'll, please come in. I'll go get Lilly."

"Thank you sir." I said.

"Please call me, Jason." Jason said as we nod.

We take a seat.

"Me and my wife were about to leave, but you can stay with Lilly." He said as he we nod.

He then disappears as he heads up stairs.

A few minutes later he comes down Lilly following him from behind.

"Well I'll be leaving, Lilly's mother is inside the car. I had forgot my wallet. Have fun." Jason says as we nod thanking him he then leaves.

"Um hi." Lilly says.

"What happened, you've been for two days?" Bella asked worryingly.

Lilly smiles. "S - sorry I didn't feel good, but now I do!" She lied. But we didn't push.

"Do you want something to drink?" She ask us.

"No, thank you." We said politely. She nods as she sits down.

"Did I miss anything important at school?" Lilly ask.

"No not really." Jake said bored as she nods.

"Can I see you guys tomorrow, I'm quite tired." She said. I heart shatters.

She looks tired, but not that kind of tired. She looks lifeless but she's not dead. Under her eyes are dark bags. Looks like she's forcing her eyes open, struggling to keep them open.

I smile. "Sure darling. Call of us if you need us." I said as she nods.

We get up and leave.

Once they leave I sigh closing my eyes.

"Up the stairs I go." I said what feels like I'm out breath but yet I'm breathing hard.

Getting up as I bite my lips from screaming, I slowly walk towrds the stairs going up.

It takes at least ten minutes for me to go upstairs. But once I make it I go towards me room.

Opening the door I go in. I shut the door close behind me.

Then I fall to the ground. The door touching my back.

I smile, and damn I smile hard. Tears passing my water line and down my cheek.

'I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.' I repeated in my head.

Slowly my vision gets hard, dark spots appear.

And with that.

"I can't do this." I whisper right as darkness surrounds me.

So I was writing this chapter then I was busy and forgot but here you guys go. Thank you all for waiting and I'm sorry for making you wait.

But I'd like to thank disneydumbo for making a new cover for this book.
