Prologue
8 months ago, there lived a girl who went by the name of Rhayne Willson. She was the most energetic and beautiful person you could have ever met. Unfortunately, tragedy has a way of crawling into your life and screwing things up. At the age of twenty-two, Rhayne lost her parents in a car accident. On the night of October 16th, 2017 Rhayne made a phone call to her best friend. Little did this friend know, it would turn her world upside down.
Bella sat on her bed reading a book when she heard her phone buzzing. Looking at the screen, she smiled and answered.
"Ray-ray! Hey girl. What's up?"
On the other end, there was only silence.
"Ray? What's going on? Are you alright?" When there was no reply, Bella looked at her phone to make sure the call had not dropped.
"Rhayne, you're kinda freaking me out. What's wrong?"
Bella heard in the faintest of whispers, "I'm sorry, but I can't anymore." Then the call ended.
"R-Rhayne? RHAYNE!" Bella put her phone down then jumped off of her bed.
Running out of her bedroom and into the kitchen she cried out, "Mom!" but received no answer.
Without putting on shoes Bella ran out the door down the street to Rhayne's house. Upon reaching the front door she tried to open it, but it was locked. Using her fists she hit the door. "Rhayne! Please open this door! Answer me Rhayne!"
Bella kept hitting the door, adrenaline coursing through her body. All she wanted was for Rhayne to open the door, tell her to stop making such a scene. Getting ever more agitated, Bella kicked the door once, twice, then a third time but the door wouldn't budge. Gasping for breath, she took a few steps back and started pulling at her hair, trying to think. She remembered there was a black rock with a hidden key. Looking around her she saw the rock. Jumping off the porch he snatched up the rock and prayed that the key was inside. Letting out a sigh of relief she grabbed the key and made quick work of unlocking the door. Running into the house and up the stairs Bella started shaking in fear of what she might find. She prayed that her friend was okay. That she was just playing a prank.
When Bella reached her friends bedroom door she called out for her one more time in a trembling whisper, "Rhayne?" She slowly opened the door and surveyed the room. There, hanging from the ceiling, was Rhayne. Her face was ghostly white. Bella cried out in agony, rushing to her friend.
"Rhayne? Why?" Sobs wracked Bella's body.
Still trembling, Bella struggled to get her friend down. Using a pair of scissors she knew were in her friend's drawer, she cut through the rope. When Rhayne was free, the dead weight was too much for Peyton to hold and they collapsed to the ground. Grunting, Peyton rolled Rhayne to the floor and stood up. Looking around the room she found Rhayne's cell phone. With shaking fingers, she called 9-1-1.
"9-1-1, what is your emergency?"
"M-my friend, she's…she hung herself."
"Can you tell me your name sweet heart?"
"Bella, Bella Swan."
"Alright Bella, where are you now?"
"I'm standing in her bedroom."
"Can you tell me the address?"
"Um, 619 S. bend street, Oakdale Indiana"
"I have an ambulance on the way Bella. Is your friend still breathing?
Sobbing, Bella answered. "No! What can I do?"
"I want you to start CPR. Do you know how to do that?"
"I've been trained but I've never actually had to do it on anyone."
"Alright Bella, I want you to put me on speaker then put the phone down."
Rushing, Bella did what she was told then knelt down by Rhayne.
"Okay, you're on speaker."
"Is your friend lying on her back?"
"Yes." Bella confirmed.
"Good, I want you to give her 30 compressions, then 2 breaths. Do you remember that in your training?"
"Yeah, I remember."
"Start CPR. The medical team should be there soon. I will stay on the line until they get there."
With determination, Bella put one hand over the other and started chest compressions.
**5 minutes later**
"I don't know how much longer I can keep this up!" Bella cried.
"I'm so sorry Bella, help will be there shortly. You should be able to hear the sirens any minute now. There was a team not too far from your location."
In the distance she could hear the ambulance "I can hear the sirens!"
"I'm glad; I'm going to let you go now alright? You will be just fine, hang in there sweety."
When the team arrived, they made quick work of finding Bella and Rhayne. They got the girls into the ambulance and drove quickly to St. Rose Memorial Hospital. Upon arriving they called Bella's mom to let her know what had happened.
Despite Bella's struggle to save Rhayne, her friend died not to long after reaching the Hospital. The funeral took place on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Bella was there, bent over crying on her grave. She felt like all the happiness had been drained away. A dark emptiness began to grow inside her. She could never let this happen again. Slowly, Bella stood up and wiped away her tears. Never again, would she allow these feelings to consume her.
