Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ah! A shooting! Wake up! Wake up! There's a burglar in the house with a gun!" I shrieked.
"Relax Dan. It's just me." Phil says, calming me down with the words.
I smile. "What the fuck are you doing?"
"Cooking, and trying to wake you up. I thought Feather would have been down by now but she's not." He said with a frown.
"She's probably in her room asleep. You know how she is. She always comes home from school, goes to sleep, and then when she wakes up in the morning, she makes food and wakes us up." I say matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, now wake everyone else up."
So, I set off on my mission to wake everyone else up.
After I woke everyone up, Phil gave us our food and went to wake up Feather.
Phil
I walked up the stairs and turned to Feather's door. When I tried to open the door, it wouldn't budge.
It was locked.
Strange.
I started digging in my pocket for the key to her door. I knew I had it in my pocket. Didn't I?
As soon as I was about to go ask Dan for the key, I found it in my pocket.
I fist bumped myself mentally as a way of celebrating the small victory as I unlocked the door. When I walked in, I saw Feather on her bed.
I smiled. She was beautiful. I walked over to her to wake her up.
"Feather, come on. It's time to wake up, sleepy head," I said playfully whilst shaking her. "I have fooood."
She didn't budge, and she was strangely cold. That was when I noticed the gashes on her wrist, and the spilled, half empty, bottle of beside her.
I turned her over to where she was on her back. There was blood everywhere.
"No! Feather! Wake up! WAKE UP! YOU CAN'T BE DEAD!" I hadn't realised I was yelling until I heard someone running up the stairs.
Dan ran into to the room and saw me shaking and ran over to me.
"What's wrong? You were yelling," he demanded.
I couldn't answer. I just continued to stare at Feather with tears falling down my face.
That was when Dans eyes went to Feather, and he saw the blood. The spilled, half empty bottle of pills. The knife. Then the note.
"Oh, Feather," Dan said softly, as if trying not to wake her. "Why did you do this?"
"We should read the note. It will probably tell is why." I suggested.
"Yeah, but I'm gonna go get Louise to call the hospital, so they can come and pick her up." Dan said quietly before standing up and walking out of the door.
"This is the worst birthday ever," I mumble to myself. I then look up at Feather. "You could've at least told me happy birthaday and that you love me. But you should know that I love you so much. Dan does too."
