Chapter 11
Sarah's POV
I haven't seen Kevin in 5 days. Yep that's how long its been. I haven't even left my room or my bed. And no I haven't eaten either. I don't know how I'm still alive. I want to die. I want the world I live in to be gone. Its not like anyone is going to miss me. I don't have the will to live anymore. I haven even gotten up. There is no use in getting up, I lay in my bed all day and sleep at night. There is no reason for me to be alive. There is no one and nothing. Im laying in my bed just waiting to die. Idon't have any emotion about anything. I dont care anymore. I have never felt like this before. I have always been loved. And I think that's part of the problem. Im not used to having no one. I don't even know if Kevin has forgotten me. I think he is hoping that I will just leave. I would but I honestly donthave the energy. I think even if i had to I wouldn't be able to get up. I reach other to the glass of waterthat's sitting on my night stand and drink some. That's what my life amounts to.
You might be thinking that I'm pathetic but you know what I am. I am a pathetic piece of sh*t. At this point I'm just waiting to die.
I decide to try and sleep. My door opens and I figure its the maid so I just close my eyes. I know I'm pathetic looking but I'm so tired I don't even care. I honestly feel like I'm dying. Next thing I know I'm being picked up. I don't even open my eyes, I'm seriously to tired to. I'm almost limp at this point and I feel like I'm being thrashed around. Whoever it was that picked me up had brought me into another room and put me on another bed.
The bed smelled familiar. It smells like someone I know but I'm not sure who. The smell is intoxicating. It smells ten times better than any axe. The door closed and the person was gone. I opened my eyes a little but soon I closed them. I was in Kevin's room. I started to drift off to sleep when I heard the voice I have been waiting to hear for 5 days.
"We need to talk but you need to eat and I'm not giving you an option." his voice was cold and harsh. I opened my eyes and tried to sit up. I was almost up and fell in exhaustion. He came over and helped me to sit up and put my head on his shoulder for support. He started to put food in my mouth. I didn't taste is at all but I was suddenly hungry. I ate almost the whole plate and sat back down.
"Look I'm sorry about the other day I don't know what was wrong with me. I'm sorry I have beenneglecting you all week. Its my fault your like this. I really don't want you to die." I looked up at himand tried to say something but he stopped me. "Shh. You need to rest. If you don't mind I want you to sleep in here with me from now on. Sometimes I hear you at night crying and I want to be here for you." I simply fell asleep in response. I didn't care why he was mad at me before. All I know was he was fine now.
A few days later I was much better. Kevin had been forcing food down my throat everyday and I was starting to get used to the idea of eating again. I was sleeping in Kevins bed every night. Kevin and I were sitting in the back yard late in the evening. It was nice out here.
"Is something wrong? You have looked like your upset lately." Kevin asked me this out of no where.
"I think I'm just tierd."
"Maybe you should sleep."
"Nahh, I'm pretty comfortable where I am." I was laying next to Kevin on a outdoor couch and was resting my head in his lap. The night was starting to come and the fish were starting to disappear. At night is when the sharks come around here. I have never been afraid of sharks, I still not afraid of them, but the thought is scary. I have gone through so much and to die now would seem pointless.
I still wondered why Kevin had flipped out on me.
"Hey Kevin.... The other day why did you get do mad at me?"
Kevin's POV
" Hey Kevin.... The other day why did you get do mad at me?"
I had to think about what she had said for a few minutes. Then the things I had said came flooding back to me. For a minute I didn't think I was even talking to her. I thought I was talking to Emeline (Em-a-leen). I missed her so much. She was my younger sister. I loved her so much she was a year younger than me. Her and I were so close. I have always thought what happened to her was my fault. I should have known there was something different about her.
"Kevin?" Her words broke me out my thought.
"Umm yeah, I wasn't mad at you I... I... I was just taken by shock. I had a friend once and she died from starving herself."
"Ohh Kevin." She jumped up and was hugging me. I was taken back by this. I didn't even tell her it was my sister. I didn't want her to know that it was her. "Kevin I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking. It was just all the stuff with my dad and my mom and the nightmares. I don't know whats wrong with me. I'm just dumb I guess."
"Your not dumb. A lot of stuff has happened to you." Sarah was in my arms. She yawned. "Come on we should get you to bed."
