Pt. 3

 

“Hey, you okay?” Someone asked bringing me back to the present. I remembered where i was and what I was doing; the girls’ bathroom floor, crying my eyes out. I reached up and wiped my eyes.
“Yeah, I’m fine.” I mumbled standing up still wiping the tears off of my face.
“Are you sure?” The familiar voice asked. I wasn’t sure who it was, so I looked up. It was my childhood best friend, Alaina. I just shook my head no. I hadn’t talked to her for years, but i still couldn’t find it in me to lie to her. “What happened?” She asked looking genuinely concerned.
“It’s not your problem.” I whispered looking down. I was hoping she would say something like, “We used to be best friends you can’t just erase that. Of course it’s my problem.”, but instead heard no reply at all. “I mean, It’s not a big deal. Nothing I can’t handle myself.” I mumbled trying to fill the silence.
“Okay, well I hope you get it figured out.” She replied walking into one of the stalls. It was hard to believe we used to be best friends, more like sisters, actually. Now, we passed each other in the halls without even a second glance.
I looked in the mirror and fixed my makeup the best I could before going back out into the hallway and back to class. When I got back to class I went to go sit in my chair, but Nikki saw me and instantly noticed my blood shot eyes.
“Ellie?” Nikki whispered as I was passing by, using the nickname she had given me in sixth grade when we met. “Are you okay?” I could see the concern in her beautiful green eyes which was understandable. Not only was she one of my best friends, but she was also the one I came running to that night.

I pulled out my phone and dialed the only number I could think of. “Hello?” She answered sounding groggy. I had probably just woken her up.
“Nikki? I-I-I need-” I started saying sobbing before she cut me off.
“Wait, slow down. Is that you, Ellie?” She asked calmly.
“Yes.” I answered gasping for air. I was close to Nikki’s house, but I had no will to go anywhere right now. All I could do was collapse to the ground and ask for help.
“I thought you were here?” She asked clearly confused. I had forgotten she didn’t know about Ryan.
“I snuck out. Ryan.” It was all I could get out before I broke down again trying to catch my breath.
“Shh.. It’s alright. What happened? Where are you?” She asked trying to sound calm, but I could still hear the panic in her voice.
“Road. Few blocks down. Doesn’t want me.” I said sobbing into the phone. I couldn’t get any breath into my lungs now. The panic was closing in on me.
“Okay, stay calm. I’ll be right there.” She said quickly before hanging up the phone. My body felt like all of the air was being rapidly pushed out. Shh.. it’s just me. I stood up. I can’t see you anymore. I started walking. I think I’m falling in love with you. “Then why did you leave me?” I asked knowing I wouldn’t get an answer. I stepped up onto the ledge. All of these voices floating around in my head, bombarding me. I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t deal with this. I was standing on the ledge of the bridge by Nikki’s house, and I was about to jump. I looked down; it was a good fifty feet or so. I felt a wave of calmness wash over me just as I was about to step off the edge.
“Zelda!” Nikki yelled. I looked over at her still in a trance. She was running towards me, now in full out panic mode. I looked over the edge again. If I was going to do it, I had to do it now, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t do that to Nikki. I couldn’t make her watch me end my life; I just couldn’t. She got to me and pulled me off of the ledge. “What are you doing!” She yelled. That’s when I noticed the tears streaming down her face. “You scared me.” She looked me in the eyes. “I thought you were going to jump.”
“I was, but I couldn’t make you watch that.” I replied calmly. I didn’t know where this calm numbness was coming from, but I liked it.
“What did he do to you?” She asked more to herself than me. She took me into her arms. “What did Ryan do to you?” Saying his name broke through my trance-like state. I broke down into sobs again and buried my head in her shoulder as she stroked my hair trying to soothe me. “Shh, It’s okay. Shh.”

“No.” I whispered walking past her. “I’m not.”
