Chapter 5
As soon I got to Brooke's house I just went into my room. blared my music and slept until Haley came and it was time for me to tell them.
"Katie, Haley's here" Brooke called. "Katie" Brooke screamed again.
"Do you want me to get her?' Haley asked Brooke.
"Sure" Brooke responded. "I need to order pizza anyways" She added.
"Katie? are you up?" Haley asked as she softly knocked on my door.
When Haley got no answer she opened up the door to find Katie fast asleep. The first thing that Haley could hear was her music.
"Katie, it's time for dinner sweetheart" Haley said as she softly shook my shoulder to get me up.
"Hmmm?" I said still half asleep as I sat up and rubbed my eyes and took out one earbud.
"Brooke is ordering the pizza and she wanted me to come and check up on you" Haley said as she rubbed my back.
"Okay" I responded.
"Come one let's go out and talk alright?" Haley asked me.
"Alright" I agreed. It was now or never.
"Where you asleep?" Brooke asked me.
"Yeah," I responded. "Why?" I asked.
"You're never going to be able to fall asleep tonight" Brooke responded.
"I will, I am still exhausted." I replied.
"Okay, just try and not get into the habit of sleeping as soon as you get home from school okay?" Brooke asked me as we all sat down on the couch.
"Can I talk to you guy's now about what I wanted to tell you you in Haley's classroom?" I asked them.
"Sure" Brooke said,
"A little over a year ago, There was this dance at my friends school, They talked to administration about inviting me and they said that I could go. The dance was horrible. I felt like I didn't belong. At the end of the night my foster sister Emma, Picked me up and took me to her apartment because my foster mom was in one of her moods again, Anyways after the dance the only thing that I remember is screaming and crying to her to let my kill myself." I started.
"Oh honey" Brooke said as she and Haley started hugging me.
"There's more" I responded.
"A week later I was moved into another foster home but Emma kept in contact with me, she still does, Emma saw me around town and saw big changes in me, I no longer smiled and joked around with my friends, and I no longer talked about swimming and the team that I was on. she took me to the doctor and he told us that I was severely depressed. My school work was affect, I no longer did any homework or did anything." I added.
"I that the real reason why you didn't have any motivation when I asked you about it?" Haley asked me as she put her arm around me.
"Yeah." I responded as Brooke put started rubbing my back.
"There's more I responded" As I leaned against Brooke for comfort because I knew the next part wasn't going to be easy for them to hear.
"What is it?" haley asked as she put her hand on my leg for comfort.
"Well you know how some people who are depressed hurt themselves right?" I asked. "Well I have attempted to before, I had a really bad day and I remember overhearing someone and how they said that they tried to cut themselves with the sharp part of an earing and I found an earring in my room. I will let you guys put the pieces together on what I did. I thinks it's been like a month or more but I thought that if I was telling you guy's stuff I would tell you everything." I said.
"I'm glad that you told us" Brooke said as she and Haley gave me a hug.
"There's more" I said as I got up to grab my pill bottle.
"Where are you going?" Haley asked me.
"I need to grab something" I said as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it, It's probably the pizza guy." Brooke said.
Five minutes later I came out to find Haley and Brooke at the table with a box of pizza in front of them.
"Here" I said as I placed the bottle of pills in front of Brooke. "These are my meds that I take to help me be happy" I said as I sat down next to Brooke.
"When do you take them?" Brooke asked me.
"One in the morning" I responded.
"Brooke there is something else you should know and I have a feeling that Katie already knows what I am about to say." Haley began.
"Yes?" Brooke said as she grabbed a piece of pizza.
"Katie is failing all of her main subjects so I was wondering if I could tutor her after school?" Haley asked.
"Yeah, thank you Hales, I meant to talk to you about what her grades were like it's just that I havnt has the time.
"Haley, I swim most day's after school and if I am not swimming then I am playing basketball with my friends" I interrupted.
"Grades are more important than Sports" Brooke said.
"Whatever you say" I said.
"Greate so starting tomorrow you will go to Haley classroom after school and work on your school work" Brooke said.
After Dinner Haley left and I went to my room.
"Knock, Knock" I heard Brooke say as she open up my door.
"May I come in?" She asked me.
"Sure" I said.
"I wanted to say thank you for sharing with my what you did" Brooke said as she got onto my bed a layed down next to me.
"I trust you, That's why I shared the information with you, and Haley has a right to know because she is one of my teachers" I said as I sat up and leaned against the headboard.
"I know your life hasn't been easy but I am here for you no matter what. You can come to me if you need anything, You can even go to Haley and Peyton. We all love you and we all want to see you succeed." Brooke said as she wrapped her arm around me.
"I know, it's just hard for me to trust people" I responded.
"Well I'm glad that you trust me" Brooke said.
"I am too" I responded. "I haven't actually trusted any other adult this fast before" I added looking up at Brooke.
"What was different about me?" Brooke asked.
"You made me feel like I belong" I responded snuggling into Brooke's side.
