Chapter 25 A Dream

Avery's POV

We're not doing much today, me and Jamie would've gone out but we'd have to take them with us. I turned 18 a week ago so I'm still excited about that.

I walked into Amy and Scarlett's room this morning to see Amy reading and Scarlett looking for something.

"What are you looking for?"

"She's been doing this for the past hour. She said shes looking for Narnia"

Amy got up and started heading to eat breakfast.

"Good luck" she said as she passed me.

"Scarlett what are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for the ibuprofen I put under here"

"Why are you looking for ibuprofen?"

"Because I wanna try something"

"Can I ask what that is?"

"If I told you you'd just shut it down because your no fun"

"Well probably, because you'd probably try and snort them or something"

She stopped looking and froze.

"Please don't tell me that's what you were planning on doing with them"

"That's not what I was gonna do with them?"

"Seriously Scarlett."

"It's not for what you think"

"Your literally planning on snorting ibuprofen"

"I heard it works faster that way, I have a tooth ache"

"Then why don't you just take it normally??"

"I didn't think about that"

*************

Amy's POV

I can hear those two bickering in the other room.

"Sounds like there gonna be in there for awhile"

"Those two are hilarious"

"I never really got the chance to thank you for adopting me and Scarlett"

"You guys are like family to me, it was really my pleasure to help you two out"

"Still thanks, Avery picked a good husband"

He chuckled and smiled at me.

Just then Scarlett and Avery came out of the room still arguing.

"Well it's not my fault my tooth hurts!!"

"That doesn't mean snort ibuprofen!!!"

"Scarlett you tried to snort ibuprofen?"

"I have a tooth ache, and now a headache because of her!!"

"Jesus Christ what am I gonna do with you?"

I just stared at them arguing for a minute before I stepped in.

"Ok that's enough guys"

Scarlett mumbled something under her breath but I really didn't care to hear whatever curse word she spat out this time.

Bzzz "Oh I just got an email from my lawyer. You guys are allowed to be at home alone since the last home visit went well"

"Yessss!" Scarlett said

"Though I'm not to keen on leaving you two home alone. You always find a way to get yourself into some type of trouble"

"Oh come on. I'm not gonna do anything"

"You were just trying to snort ibuprofen 5 seconds ago"

"I promise I'll be good, I'd just like it if people weren't constantly around me"

"People need to constantly be around you, your always up to something"

"Come on, don't you and Jamie need a date day?"

"Sigh, Amy?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you please make sure Scarlett doesn't do anything?"

"Ugh why do I always have to watch her?"

"Please, I wanna get out the house"

"Sigh, fine" I have no idea why I agreed, it is so hard to keep track of Scarlett.

"Make sure you don't let your eyes off her"

"Yeah"

"Seriously"

"Ok!"

"Ok now you lovebirds go and have fun"

Scarlett pulled Jamie up and led them both out the door.

"Don't do anything stupid!"

"Yeah yeah byeeee" and she shut the door.

Scarlett's POV

Finally home alone! Well mostly, theres still Amy here but still.

I grinned and started thinking about what I could do when Amy stopped me dead in my tracks.

"Whatever your thinking about doing, don't"

"I'm not gonna do anything" I said while opening the fridge. Avery really did clear out all the alcohol. I'm sure she drinks but still.

"So what'd wanna do?" I asked Amy

"I don't know, relax I guess"

"Ok, I'm gonna go to the bathroom"

"There's no lock on the door so if your try anything, I'll be right outside the door"

"Ok jeez"

I went into the bathroom and looked through the cabinets and found a razor in the back underneath the sponges.

"I'm not stupid, I know your not using the bathroom, I'm coming in"

She opened the door and saw me sitting on the floor staring at the razor in my hands.

"Scarlett"

I was starting to zone out while staring at the silver blade.

"Give it to me"

Time just seemed to freeze. Then I snapped out of it. I slowly started to hand the razor to her when I just stopped.

"What's happening to me, I'm telling myself no but my body just won't listen"

"Scarlett please hand me the razor"

Just then Avery came through the front door because she forgot something.

"Avery!! Come here quick!!"

I started backing away from her. Why am I backing away.

Avery came through the door to see me next to the bathtub and Amy slowly trying to approach me.

"She has a razor" Amy said

"What? I thought I threw them all away. Scarlett give it to us"

I climbed into the bathtub and sat there.

They started approaching me and I don't know why but that made me even more scared.

"I c- can't l- let go if it"

"Scarlett yes you can" Avery said

"You'll send me back to that hospital"

"No we won't Scar, now give it to us"

"Don't give it to them"

What was that?

"Scarlett you can trust us"

"Their lying to you, they'll send you away. They hate you"

"SHUT UP!!!" I covered my ear trying to block out whatever was talking to me.

"Scarlett please just give us the razor"

I realized my hand was bleeding.

"Kill yourself"

"NO!! I don't want to"

"Scarlett, if you don't give it I'll have to take it. Your bleeding"

"DIE! DIE! DIE!"

"Please stop. I don't wanna die"

"Scarlett, is someone talking to you?"

I looked at Avery and Amy.

"Can't you hear it?"

They both looked at each other concerned. "Amy call the psychiatrist" "ok"

"Scarlett it's gonna be ok"

"Cut deep and I'll be quiet"

"She's on her way, she wants to speak to Scarlett"

"Hello?" I said

"Scarlett, can you describe to me what your hearing?"

"It's this dark raspy voice"

"What's it saying?"

"It wants me to kill myself, I have a razor"

"Avery are you there?"

"Yeah"

"Take the razor from her"

Avery looks at me and I curl into a ball to keep her away from me. She's a lot bigger and stronger than me so it didn't take long for her to peel my hand open and for her to get the razor. The next thing I knew I was in a hospital bed.

"What happened? Where the hell am I?"

I tried to move but my hands were bound.

"HELP!!"

Then I woke up drenched in sweat.

"What the fuck" Amy rolled over and asked what was wrong. I ignored her and got up and went to Avery and Jamie's room and they woke up and looked at me. "Scarlett what are you doing? It's 4 in the morning"

I swear it happened. I ran to the bathroom and looked at the tub. No blood. I looked in the cabinet no razor. Avery came into the bathroom looking at me.

"Where is it???? Do you have it????"

"Have what?"

"The razor?!?"

She looked at me with a very worried face. Then everything started coming back to me. I had tried to snort the ibuprofen while Amy was in the bathroom and passed out on my bed. I looked at my hands, no cuts or anything. I seriously dreamed all that.

"Scarlett are you thinking about cutting?"

"I had a bad dream"

"Why were you asking if I had a razor?"

"Can we talk about it in the morning?"

"Ok, go back to bed"
