Chapter 9
CECE'S POV
I woke up to my alarm clock in a very good mood. My date with Ty made last night the best night of my life. First, Ty picked me up right on time. Then, he drove me to a fancy restaurant. The food was delicious and we had some awesome conversations. And of course, he paid like a gentleman. Then we went to a movie. It was a horror movie of course. Ty knows that I'm not a huge fan of romances and we both like horror movies. But I got a little scared at some parts and hid my face in his neck. He put his arms around me. It felt so right. Then he took me home, right on time. And we kissed goodbye.
I kept smiling for awhile. But then I realized, I have to go to school today. I just know that today will be awful. On the table this morning was the newspaper. On the front page I saw my face. It was an article about the abuse. Now, everyone knows. They will definitely be talking about it. All day they will be whispering about me, pointing at me, staring at me, and probably laughing at me. I really do not want to go. But, I don't have a choice.
I went to my jewelry box and rummaged around in it until I found my razor. I sliced a small cut into my wrist and I immediately felt better. I grabbed a tissue and put it on my wrist to dab off the blood. Then I walked over to my closet and picked out an outfit. I decided to wear some color today. I had on a pink cropped top over a blue tank and I had some dark denim jeans. And I went and threw on some black boots. Then I went in my bathroom to do my hair and makeup. I quickly curled my hair. And for once, I don't think I'm going to wear makeup. Everyone already knows what my face looks like with the bruises. But I still put some on my wrists to hide the cuts.
I started to grab all of my school stuff. Then I went and sat on the couch. I heard people come in through the window. It was Rocky, Deuce, and Ty. They came and sat beside me. "Hey guys, we should probably get going."
They all nodded and we headed out to Ty's car. Rocky and Deuce sat in the back, and Ty and I were in the front. The ride was basically silent except for a few of Rocky's attempts at conversation. When we got there a few minutes later we all looked at each other. Then when we were about to go in, Ty took my hand, and Rocky took my other hand while Deuce had her other hand. We all walked into school like that. I could feel everyone look at us as we walked in. And I could hear them whisper. They were saying things like 'That's her' or 'Look at her face!' It was getting hard to handle. Just as I felt like I couldn't take it anymore, I felt Ty give my hand a comforting squeeze. I looked up at him and smiled, he smiled right back. We went to our lockers and then met right back up again. A few minutes later the bell rang. Ty gave me a quick kiss goodbye and we parted ways. Today is going to be a long day.
LATER AT LUNCH
I walked into the cafeteria and looked around. I found everyone sitting at our usual table. I walked over, tray in hand, and sat down beside Ty. He kissed me hello, I heard Deuce and Rocky aww from across the table. We broke apart and glared at them. They looked down awkwardly. After that, everything was fineā¦.until it happened.
We were sitting there, talking, laughing, and just having fun. When Candy Cho walked up to us and tapped me on the shoulder. I have bruises there so I winced, but I turned around. "So Cece, how are you doing?"
What is she doing? She's Candy, she isn't supposed to be nice to me. "F-fine."
"Oh, is the poor baby scared of me now? I bet your scared of everything now. You used to pretend to be that girl that people wanted to be. But it's obvious now, you are just a week, spineless, defenseless loser. No wonder Frankie hit you, you deserved it."
Then to top it off, she poured her water bottle on my head and walked away laughing. Before I knew it, I was crying and running out of there as fast as I could. I found myself running all the way home, all the while crying. I fumbled with my key to open the door. Luckily my mom was at work and Flynn was at school. I ran into my room and grabbed my razor and sliced open my wrist. I went a little deeper than I wanted and blood gushed out. But I didn't care. I went into my bathroom and stood over the toilet. I shoved my finger to the back of my throat and felt my lunch start to come up. After that I laid down, sobbing. Blood was quickly gushing from my wrist and my vision started to fade until I couldn't see or feel anything. Am I dying? I don't know if that is good or bad. Maybe it's for the better. I won't have to deal with all this pain anymore. It's all over now. Goodbye.
TY'S POV
I can not believe what Candy just did. I knew she was mean, but I didn't know she was this mean. I picked up Cece's orange juice and walked over to Candy. I dumped it on her head and said angrily "Do something like that again, and your gonna get something much worse than this."
Then I ran out of the school to my car. I jumped in and started to drive to Cece's apartment. Stupid traffic! When I got to our apartment I ran over to the elevator. Ugh! It's busy! I saw that it was going all the way up to the top floor so instead of waiting for it, I ran up the stairs. I saw that Her apartment door was wide open. I walked in, it was silent in there. I walked over to Cece's room, it was empty. But I saw her bathroom door was open, and I saw her legs. What is she doing? "Cece?"
I walked in and saw something I wasn't expecting. Cece was passed out on her bathroom floor in a pile of her own blood which was gushing from her wrist. I pulled my phone from my pocket and called 911. I told the person where we were. She said she would be here soon. Cece is paler than I have ever seen her. I grabbed some toilet paper and put it on her wrist. But not before I saw something had never noticed. She had cuts all over her wrist. Some were fresh, but some had faded into scars. It all makes sense now. Even before Frankie started abusing her she always wore long sleeve shirts. Why did she do this to herself? She always seemed so perfect to me. I am really unobservant I guess.
A few minutes later I heard people rushing into the apartment "We're in here! Hurry!"
They ran in with a stretcher and carefully lifted her onto it. They were shouting things at each other but I couldn't understand them. They carried her out of the room, probably to put her in an ambulance. I started to go follow them. When we got to were the ambulance they started to load her in. I saw one man that was just standing by the truck. "Please sir, I need to come with her."
The man looked at me and frowned. "Who are you to her?"
"I'm her boyfriend."
He sighed. "Alright kid, get in the back and don't get in the way."
I smiled a small smile at him and hopped in. We started speeding towards the hospital. A few moments later a man sat across from me. "Kid, what happened?"
"Well, she just got out of an abusive relationship a few days ago.
"Oh yeah, I read about that in the paper this morning."
"Yeah, anyways, today at lunch a girl at our school made fun of her about it and dumped her water bottle on her. Then she ran out crying and a couple minutes later I got in my car and followed her. But I got stuck in traffic. When I got to her apartment I found her passed out in her bathroom in a pile of blood, which is when I called you guys."
"Poor girl. Good thing you followed her when you did. If you didn't, she would be dead by now."
I looked down. I felt tears start to fall down my face. "Will she be okay?"
"Well, it will probably take her awhile to recover. But she has a good chance of making it out of this okay."
I almost smiled. But then I remembered, I am the only one that knows. I reached into my pocket and grabbed my phone. I called Cece's mom first.
"Hello, this is officer Jones."
"Mrs. Jones! You need to get to the hospital right now! Something happened at school and I found Cece passed out in her bathroom with a cut in her wrist and she was laying in a puddle of her own blood."
"Oh my god, I'm on my way."
I heard her phone drop and screeching tires. I hung up. Then I called Rocky.
"Hey Ty, is Cece okay?"
"No! I found her in her bathroom passed out in her own blood! You and Deuce need to get to the hospital now!"
I heard the phone go dead as she hung up. I hope we get there soon. I don't know how much longer Cece can last with so much of her blood gone.
A few minutes later we arrived. Cece was rushed away from me. I was told that I couldn't go with her because she needed a blood transfusion right away. I sat in the waiting room for what seemed like hours, but really it was only about 5 minutes. Then I heard the doors burst open. Everyone is here now. Her mom ran over to me, desperate for answers. "Ty! Where is she? What happened?"
"She is the OP right now, getting in a transfusion. And as to what happened, it's a long story."
I started to tell her exactly what happened today. Rocky and Deuce jumping in at some points. "So, that's what happened."
"Wow, I can't believe my baby girl would do something like that. She always seemed to strong. How did I not notice? She used to live in shirts with short sleeves. But one day she stopped wearing them. And if she did she always had a jacked or a lot of bracelets."
"We didn't notice it either. But there is nothing we can do now but wait."
And that's exactly what we did. We waited for a very long time. After probably about 3 hours, a nurse came in. "Cece Jones?"
We all stood up and walked towards her."
"She is done with her transfusion now. And it turns out that she is almost 30 pounds under weight. She won't tell us, but we believe that she is anorexic and bulimic. But, with proper care she will be just fine. But right now she is very weak. Only one of you can see her at a time."
We looked at each other, then at just Mrs. Jones. After all, she is Cece's mom. She nodded and began to walk ahead with the nurse. I hope Cece will be okay, I would die without her in my life.
