The Ghost of You
Chapter one: Depression can kill.
It was another sunny day with clear skies and just the perfect weather to do just about anything. But to the blonde girl walking down the sidewalk on New York's busy streets it was just another painful long day to go thru.
She walked at an even pace down the street with nothing except what she was wearing. A black tight shirt and dark blue bellbottom jeans, her shoulder length blonde hair wasn't put up on any way. It was just casually worn down, on her feet she wore black tennis shoes. The only thing one could say was out of place on her was the antique brass pocket watch hanging from her neck like you would wear any necklace.
A look of sadness and a hint of anger were clear on her face, which was tilted down a bit with her sapphire eyes glued to the ground as she walked. If anyone were to actually acknowledge her they would think she didn't knew where she was headed or even what her surroundings were.
But she was clear and knew well the location to where she was headed. Upon arriving to a big white/gray building which read at the top "Magdalan High School" and with some other buildings to the side and behind it she entered the big wooden main doors of the middle building. The hallways were wide and silent. There were some doors to the sides and various rows of lockers between them like in any typical high school. To the left of the hall almost near the main entrance there was a staircase.
She went up the stairs and took a right upon arriving the second floor. On the distance of the end of the hall she could see the last door to the right open and the class that was going on. "Your assignment for today is to write a 300 word essay on how you think we can better our government or what you would like to see different." The teacher instructed her class as they all complained about it.
Once the blonde arrived at the classroom and entered, everyone got quiet. The teacher followed her with her eyes as she went to take her seat on the back row by the window. "Miss. Christopher, could I talk to you outside?" As the teacher said that the blonde just looked at her and with out saying a word she got up from her seat and walked outside the classroom, followed by Ms. Harvenheit who closed the door behind her.
"Rosette..." Ms. Harvenheit started with a calm voice. "This has been going on for too long now. If you're going to come to school do it at the time that it begins not at noon or past noon like today. It's 2:34p.m. school is almost over; I don't know why you even bothered showing up."
Rosette was just looking down the hallway leaning on the wall while Ms. Harvenheit stood in front of her and preached her. She didn't seem to be listening. "Rosette are you listening to me? Rosette?" Rosette just kept her head turned to the right with a distant look. "I don't know what else to do with you and I'm running out of patience so just go and see Principle Kate, I'm sure she'll know how to handle you." She told Rosette and went back inside the classroom to find everyone doing about everything but what they were assigned. "EVERYONE GET TO WORK!" she screamed at them and shot the door behind her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A knock was heard on the door. "Come in" a voice said from inside the office. "Ah yes Rosette, take a seat please." Ms. Kate told Rosette as she entered the room and sat on the chair in front of her desk. Her office wasn't so big and not too sophisticated either. There were some diplomas hung on the walls behind her, to the side of those a window could be seen. A black couch was set against the wall to the right. On the desk there was a computer, a phone, and some papers that she was currently working on.
"So tell me Rosette, what is it this time?" she asked. Rosette just sat there with her head bowed down and her hands clasp with one another on her lap. "Come on Rosette, talk to me I'm trying to help you here. But if you don't tell me what's wrong then how can I help?" she told her as she stared at the blonde girl in from of her.
"Rosette, this is your last year in high school and if you keep showing up like this for what remains of the year you're not going to graduate." Rosette just kept her position and didn't say anything. Ms. Kate took a deep breath and stood up and walked to the side to look out the window. "Rosette, I'm sorry about what happened to your parents but you have to move on, it's been more then two months now and you've just worsen. You also need to start taking better care of yourself and your brother if yo..." "They weren't my real parents!" she cut Ms Kate off before she could finish her sentence. It seemed that at that comment Ms. Kate appeared to have pulled a trigger to made Rosette the way she did.
"Quit talking about my life like if you knew me and just leave me alone!" she shouted at her as she stood up and ran for the door. "Wait Rosette, I'm just trying to help. Rosette! Rosette!" Ms. Kate just stood there without knowing what to do. "I hope she doesn't do anything that she shouldn't." Ms Kate said taking a breath and sitting down back to her work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rosette just kept running, she ran out of the school almost knocking over some poor kid that was just passing by the hallway. She ran down the street she had been walking on earlier, she ran in front of traffic without stopping until she got home. She swung the door open and just ran upstairs to her room.
She threw herself on her bed and hugged her pillow while burying her face into it as she cried. Soon she just let cried herself to sleep.
When she woke up everything was silent and a bit dark. The only sound in her room was that of the ticking of the pocket watch hung around her neck. She sat up on her bed and looked to her side to the digital clock sitting on the nightstand. It read: Tuesday 9:32p.m.
Rosette got up and went to downstairs to check if her brother, Joshua had arrived yet. She went down to the living room and shot the door she had left open on her way in then into the kitchen which was a bit messy. Seeing that no one was there she went back up stairs to the bathroom next to her room.
She went in an turned the water of the sink on, she rinsed her face from the dry tears she cried earlier and then grabbed a towel from the counter and dried her face. She looked at herself on the mirror, her sapphire eyes seemed sad and lifeless and they were a bit puffy from all of her crying. After looking at herself on the mirror she walked towards the bathtub and just sat in it.
Ever since she was younger she went and sat in there whenever she felt troubled or her adoptive parents had a fight. For some reason being in there and shutting the door of the bathroom just made her feel somewhat better and safe.
She stayed in there for a while without having changed clothes or anything. The ticking of her watch was the only noise in the lonely house.
"I'm so alone, why does this have to happen to me. Now days it seems as if nobody cared for me. Not even my own brother. My friends that I had just stopped talking to me without warning and I don't even know why. What am I suppose to do" Tears started rolling down her face as she leaned against the wall with her legs pulled up to her chest and her left arm around them and her right hand holding the pocket watch to her chest.
She looked in front of her and on the corner or the tub there was a razor. She leaned forward and grabbed it (A/N: Oh the irony '). She examined it for a while. "This is my answer. I don't have to suffer alone any more, everyone would just be better off without me having to trouble them with my sadness and my presence. Even Joshua, he won't have to worry about me any more." She said with a sad smile on her face and just pressed the blade as hard as she could to her left wrist and slid it across then to her right one. The blood came out from her wrists slowly and slid down her arms and legs to the floor of the bathtub.
Soon her clothes where full of blood and the tub was also stained with blood going down the drain. She started feeling light headed and dizzy. "It seems this is it for me, but before I go I have leave a message for Joshua." She told herself as she raised her right bloody hand to the wall and wrote something. "I hope you forgive me Joshua and don't be sad." she said as she let her hand slip from the wall back to her lap.
"It seems after all, this old watch my mom left me wasn't useless. It's being very useful to tick down my last seconds of life." She said as her tears once again broke out like dams and her vision blurred. Then her world just turned pitch black.
