CHAPTER 2
DISCLAIMIER: I DO NOT OWN 90210
It had been a couple of weeks since Jackie Taylors funeral. It was the day before Silver and Kelly were supposed to return to West Beverly High. But first they had to go to the train station to drop Sammy of with Dylan. Sammy was to stay with his dad for a couple of months. This was always a hard time for Kelly but she knew Sammy was safe with his dad.
When they arrived at the station Dylan was already there. "Bye Mommy" said Sammy. "Bye Sammy," said Kelly as she picked him up and hugged him. "Take good care of him," Kelly said to Dylan. "I always do." Kelly waved goodbye to the two as they got on the train. Silver put her arm through her sisters. "I will miss him, but it will be nice to have some time to ourselves won't it? Kelly smiled at her sister. "Yes it will."
Monday morning was usually a bit manic but today was even worse. They both woke up late and they couldn't find anything. But they managed to into the car and arrive on time. Silver was about to get out of the car when Kelly told her to wait. "If anything happens you know where to find me." Silver smiled and nodded but she knew if something did go wrong it was very unlikely she would go to Kelly in the middle of a school day.
When she went inside the school she released she was in fact five minutes late. She walked quickly to Mr Mathews English room and opened the door. Everyone turned to look as she walked into the classroom. "Nice to have you back Silver," Mr Mathews said, "take a seat." "Great!" thought Silver "I didn't want to draw attention to myself!" After English was over Silver practically ran to Science to avoid the sad looks she was getting. It seemed like everyone knew and knowing West Beverly everybody probably did.
During Lunch people kept gathering around Silver, asking her if she was ok and how she was doing. Silver could feel herself slipping, as she was bipolar she knew bad things could happen to her and the people around her if she went into a bipolar meltdown. Her friend Annie came over to her. "I heard about your mom I hope you're ok." Silver did a half smile. She was becoming angry. Don't people understand that asking her about her mom just makes things worse! "I'm fine, excuse me," Silver said as she got up. She had to get away from everybody, she just wanted everything to stop. Silver heard Kelly's words in her head. "If anything happens you know where to find me." She didn't want Kelly to think she was weak! She knew she was breaking and she knew she was to go to Kelly but she just couldn't. "I can handle it." Silver thought but as she went around the corner Naomi came up to her to ask her how she was. Silver lost it she yelled at Naomi, "I'm fine why can't everyone just leave me alone and get hell my face!" She ran into the DT room and grabbed the nearest craft knife. She pulled the switch and the knife came out. She placed the blade up against the skin on her neck. She pulled it lightly over her neck building up the courage to go in deeper. But before she did it again she caught sight of herself in the mirror. She dropped the knife on the floor and touched her neck were she had cut it. This wasn't going to help anything if anything this was just going to make things worse. She picked up the craft knife and put it away before breaking into tears.
Silver ran across the school to the guidance councillor's office, ignoring all the wired looks she got. When she arrived she looked through the window to check it was empty. She saw Kelly alone looking at her calendar. She looked down at the white shirt she was wearing and saw blood that was still dripping from her neck. That did it. Silver knocked on the door, waiting for Kelly to say she could come in. When she heard the words Silver burst through the door Kelly looked up to see Silver and blood dripping from her neck. "Honey what happened?" Silver looked into Kelly's eyes expecting to see anger or disappointment but she only saw love. "I… I … I couldn't take it, everyone asking me if I was ok the looks the stares, I felt myself slipping Kelly I should have come to you but I thought I could handle it. Then I found a knife and realised what I was doing so I stopped I am so sorry." Sliver said before crying again. "Well you should have come to me when you realised you were slipping, but you're here now and that's all that matters." Kelly said. Kelly got her First Aid Kit and cleaned up Silvers neck and put a plaster on it. "Am I going to have to go through the whole bipolar thing again?" Sliver asked with a worried look in her eyes. "Maybe for a couple of weeks but not as long as last time ok?" Kelly said. Sliver nodded then agreed. "Good" Kelly said, "How about you stay in my office for the rest of the day and we will just ease you back into school." "Ok," Silver said.
