Regrets

Cold...

That was all she could see as she saw her reflection on the mirror,eyes that looked lifeless because that was truly how she felt. Grasping the bottle closer to her chest a wary smile graced her lips. A burst of laughter erupted from her mouth, laughter filled with so much anguish, telling the story of pain, misery and a broken soul.

She had to do this it was the only way she had,well it's the only thing she could do there was no turning back. Looking at her reflection one last time she stumbled on her feet, swaying as she walked to her bed still clutching onto the bottle like her life depended on it,well it does depend on it.

Sitting at the foot of her bed she opened the bottle and emptied it's content in her mouth. Couldn't believe life had to be this cruel to her that ending her own life was the only option it gave her. Staggering on her feet she tried to grab the picture frame on top the cardboard beside her bed but she fell on her knees coughing up blood, holding her chest she laid on the floor, even in death she couldn't see his face for the last time. Her vision began to blur and images flashed through her mind of a time were she was truly happy and whole.

If only... regrets

That was the last thing she felt as her eyes closed and she was drawn into darkness, a place were she finally could find peace.

Turning off the shower Brittany sighed in satisfaction, finally she felt relieved after a stressful day at the restaurant as usual. Juggling between three jobs

was not easy well not like her life has ever been easy she thought. Pushing those thoughts aside she grabbed the towel and wrapped it around her body, stepping out of the bathroom she walked to her bedside table grabbing her phone she checked

No missed call? strange she thought. Normally her best friend would have called her already. Not giving too much thought about it she walked into her closet and grabbed her pjamas, wearing it she decided to call her BFF. Picking up the phone she was about dialing the number when her phone started ringing.

"Unknown" who could possibly be calling her at this time just when she wanted to call her bestie she wondered, before she could answer it stopped ringing. The number called again, reluctantly she picked

"Hello who's speaking please" she asked

"Is this miss brittany? the caller asked

" Yes how may i help you"

" Am calling from Hope hospital it's about Halle, she's in a critical condition....

Slowly the voice started fading, all brittany could hear was that her friend was in a life and death situation, at that moment she feared for her dear friend life hoping this was just a prank call.

"Hello Miss brittany are u still there u need to come as soon as possible it's an emergency.....

" ye...yes" stuttering she clutched the phone tighter, this is not the time to panic she scolded herself, my Halle needs me right now.

Quickly grabbing her purse she ran not even caring to change her clothes, wearing her shoes she stepped outside. Trying to call an Uber at this time was furtile, walking faster to the roadside to catch a taxi, damn at this moment brittany hated the location of her house.

"What the f**k were are all those damn taxi's? she wailed in her mind, she's been standing on the road for almost 15 minutes, she tried stopping every car that passed but they just zoomed off. No she wouldn't waste any more time, sighting a car from afar she stood at the middle of the road with arms raised shouting "please stop stop i beg you,with tears streaming down her eyes. The car got closer but she didn't stop shouting for help still standing on the road.

The driver kept honking, the front lights flashed on her face, it suddenly stopped when it was just a little closer to her.
