Chapter 10: Turn Of Events
Daisy and Juliette were cleaning and putting away dishes in the sink when they heard it. At first, they thought she must have dropped the shave gel can or something of that sort, but they soon realized that they did not hear anything after it. Daisy, drying a plate, immediately ran for the bathroom door, leaving the platter to shatter on the floor. After managing to get in through the locked door, neither Daisy nor Juliette could believe that they saw.
Shelby was lying on the floor, knife on the ground, blood leaking from her wrist.
"Shelby! Shel! Answer me! Oh God! Juliette! Can 911!" yelled Daisy hysterically as her friend lay unconscious. She had no idea that Shelby had the intention of ever hurting herself again. Sure, she had done that kind of thing back at Horizon, but she had grown and learned so much since then. Why would she try it again? Daisy sat there, crying frantically and trying to piece together the whole situation. Juliette, in the other room, was in the same state of mind yet still managed to get the ambulance to arrive.
When the medics got to the apartment, Daisy said that she would not leave Shelby's side. She tried to stay near her as long as she could, however they were not to kind in the way of emotions and had to pry her out of the room as they began to save her friend. That was the last thing she saw...The red of the blood, the blue of the rescuers' jackets, the silver of the blade on the floor, the hopelessness in everyone's eyes.
Upon awakening, Daisy's memory was all jumbled. Juliette's voice was the first she heard, as her eyes began to focus. This was not Shelby's apartment, and it was not her own either. No, this looked like a hospital. I must have been out of it for longer than I thought, she thought to herself. Suddenly she remembered everything that had happened earlier.
"Where's Shelby! How is she?!" Daisy demanded, causing her head to hurt at the intensity of her emotions.
"They are looking at her. Don't worry, I am sure she will be okay. She's strong and she can get through this." Daisy began to cry, not knowing what to think of everything. "But, you need to stay strong for her too...We all do." At this, the both began to weep silently, as Juliette held Daisy's hand.
