Tangled In The Great Escape
Chapter 1
"Kaeleigh!" I can still
hear my mother's shrill voice echoing through the bathroom as
I sank deeper into a peaceful slumber. Everything about that day
was foggy, although I remember one specific EMT that carried what
looked like remorse in his sweet brown eyes. Maybe it was disgust
written across his face that a girl such as me, someone who had
her life planned out decided to kill herself; or maybe he thought
I was a coward. The last thing I saw as I slipped into
unconsciousness was my little brother holding my hand, telling me
I'd be okay as a tear rolled down his innocent cheek. I
realized what I'd done had not yet registered in his mind,
but in years to come he would know. But now I'm here, in
Shady Oaks. One of the finest recovery centers in Navada.
I've been in isolation for two weeks, and tomorrow I'm
granted level 1; meaning I can eat with others, and go to group
therapy sessions with Dr. Laden. It's been hard not to cut
for these two weeks, but every day in isolation they constantly
check on you every hour. It's 9 pm now, and the bulky guards
are right on time with my evening medication. As the lights go
out at 9:30, I hear muffled crying by 10. My eyes slowly pluck up
at the window, as I wonder how long I will be here before I
implode.
A/N: hi guys.
so I'm writing a story about recovery from suicide in the
point of view from 3 teenagers. If you or anyone you know is
going through anything like this, don't hesitate to get them
help. I hope you all like it.
