"Sad face"
Kate stared at the pills in her hand. The clock read, 3:20 am. The blonde sat on the edge of her bed contemplating her next move. Am I brave enough to do this? She thought. She looked over to her left. Her phone sat on the pillow at the head of the bed. She wanted to call Danielle but she knew that she would be ignored. Earlier that day, Kate overheard Dan telling someone that Adam and she had something planned the night.
The pills rattled in the blonde's shaking hand. She twisted the cap open and looked into the bottle. Her mind drifted back to a few days ago where she stood across from Torri. Torri had tears in her eyes. Kate had just told her that she was in love with Danielle. Torri didn't have much to say in this moment. She was way too disappointed in Kate. She was disappointed that Kate was willing to throw away everything that they had built.
Kate snapped herself out of that thought. Before she knew it her eyes were drowning behind a puddle of tears. She refused to let them fall. She didn't feel as though she deserved to let out the pain within herself. She hurt Torri and even though she felt as though she made the right decision, she realized that it was the worst thing she could've done to Torri.
The blonde reached for her glass of water that sat on the table next to the bed. She poured one pill out of the bottle into her hand. She stared at the pill while holding her breathe. The wall in front of her moved back from her 20 feet. She let out a full exhale.
*Buzz*
Kate's phone vibrated on the pillow next to her. The name read, "Dan". She wondered why Danielle would be texting her this late. She was sure that the red head was in bed lying next to Adam sleeping beautifully. Before the text message scrolled across her screen she placed the phone back on the bed. She didn't want anything that Danielle would say to affect her current decision.
Kate quickly poured the rest of the pills into her hand and tossed them into her mouth. She took a gulp of water. Her eye lids closed almost immediately.
The blonde forcefully pushed her phone off of her pillow before laying back and letting the inevitable take place.
Danielle stood outside on her balcony with a cigarette resting comfortably within her fingers. She stared out into the city that waited in front of her. Her phone rested on the chair to the right of her. Her ear stretched towards it. She impatiently waited for a reply from the woman of her dreams.
About an hour earlier, when Adam and she returned from the one woman show that they experienced, she had felt a horrible feeling in her gut. At first she thought that she was catching the stomach virus but out of nowhere she heard something say "Text Kate".
Kate had texted her earlier asking to see her but she couldn't, she had plans with Adam. Deep down she didn't really want to see Kate anyway because she knew that it would end in a way that wouldn't benefit either one of them.
The clock read, 3:25. Danielle grabbed her phone and tapped on Kate's icon. The phone rang and rang until the beautiful blonde's voice spoke. "Fuck Kate pick up your phone." Danielle said out loud. She started to hang up before leaving a message but something stopped her.
"Hey, I'm worried about you. I don't know what's going on but I feel like something is wrong. Please call me back and tell me that I am wrong."
She hung up the phone and placed it into her back pocket. She tugged on her cigarette while her mind tugged on her heart. 'Why I am feeling this way', she thought. Danielle could feel her nervous collapsing.
*Buzz Buzz*
*Buzz Buzz*
Danielle rolled over and grabbed her phone on the night stand. 12 missed calls and 20 text messages appeared across the screen of her phone.
"Shit" she said wiping her eyes.
The red head unlocked her phone and saw that all of the misses were from Kate. Before she could think, that familiar feeling that she felt earlier that night had returned. She sat up quickly and hit Kate's picture.
"Hello!" An unfamiliar voice threw itself into Danielle's ear.
"IS THIS DANIELLE CORMACK?!" The voice became louder
"Yes, this is she." Danielle said backing away from her own voice.
"KATE! KATE SHE…"
Danielle could hear someone crying hysterically on the other end of the phone.
"WHAT IS IT?" Danielle shouted
"KATE OVERDOSED!"
The phone fell from the red head's hands. "What?" she said quietly to herself. Before Danielle knew it, she had stopped breathing. The voice on the other end of the phone made sounds that were unrecognizable from Danielle's lap.
Danielle hopped out of the bed nearly tripping over herself. She darted out the room but not before grabbing her phone. She struggled to bring the phone to her ear.
"AAHHHH" The person over the phone screamed through tears.
"Where is she?" Danielle's voice left her mouth but she didn't recognize it.
"WHERE IS SHE?"
Danielle rushed out of the door barefoot with keys in hand.
