A/N: Tisk Tisk Tisk. I'm dropping characters like flies over here! This
chapter is a lil long it's also probably the hardest thing I've had to
write. So be nice and review so that maybe, for a few moments...I'll feel
special!
***ANGST WARNING***
Ch. 18 : Suicide
Otto left that Sunday. It was now almost two weeks later and Twister felt quite empty. He was doing good in school, better then he ever had before. And he made lots of new friends. There was still something missing.
Melanie had not yet given up. Her and Reggie were in two classes together. Melanie would listen to Reggie's conversations to keep tabs on her and Lars. Then one Thursday she got the break she had been waiting for. It turns out Lars and Reggie had there first fight. This was Melanie's chance to move in.
That day after school she went over to Lars' house and knocked on the door. Lars was out looking for a job, Twister was home alone, he opened the door.
Melanie: *in a high pitched annoying voice* "Is Lars here?"
Twister: "No, he's out."
Melanie: "Oh, do you know when he will be back?"
Twister: "Around five. Do you want me to tell him you were looking for him?"
Melanie: "No that's all right, I'll come by at five."
Twister: "Okay."
------
Later at five Melanie came back, this time Lars answered the door.
Melanie: "Hi, Lars! Remember me?"
Lars: "How could I forget?"
Melanie: "So umm.... Where's your girlfriend?"
Lars: "Her house I suppose, me and her got in a fight, I was just going to call her to apologize."
Melanie: "Oh no don't do that. Girls like it too much when guys do that. You should make her apologize to you."
Lars: "Nah...It was my fault."
Melanie: "But Lars...."
Lars: "Look, Melanie, please don't tell me what to do. I think maybe you should leave...."
Melanie: "Fine, u'll be sorry though, I promise I'll make your life miserable."
And with that she left, by then Lars had already called Reggie's house and was already apologizing. He told her about what Melanie had just said. He ignored her threat. "After all what could she do to make my life so miserable." He told Reggie. He would soon regret those words
Melanie waited beside the house for a little while. Twister came out to go over to Sam's so Sam could help him with his math homework. Melanie approached him.
Melanie: "So... Twister. I heard your best friend left you to go skateboard or something."
Twister: "He didn't leave me..."
Melanie: "Yes he did, there's no use in trying to deny it."
Twister: "Yeah, whatever."
Melanie: "I feel so bad for you."
Twister: "Why is that?"
Melanie: "Because first your brother almost gets you killed, and now that your in a wheel chair all he cares about is his girlfriend."
Twister: "Nu uh."
Melanie: "Yeah huh. When was the last time you and him did any thing together, without his girlfriend?"
Twister sat trying to remember "I dunno."
Melanie: "That's what I thought."
Twister: "Just go away!"
Melanie: "Okay, buh bye." She said walking away.
------
That night Twister laid in his bed. He started thinking about what Melanie had said. He got into his wheel chair and went down stairs. He saw Lars in the kitchen, Lars didn't notice him.
Twister: "Hey, Lars, can I talk to you?"
Lars: "In a second, Twist. I'm talking to Reggie." He said without even turning around.
Twister sighed and went back into his room. He was still thinking about what Melanie had said. Since Twister got in the accident he had more time to think and analyze things. After almost two hours Twister went back down stairs. Lars was asleep on the couch. Twister sat down in the chair and thought. About another hour passed when he came to a conclusion.
"Life isn't worth living." He thought. He got back in his wheelchair and thought about how to end his life. He rolled into the kitchen and over to a draw. He opened it and picked up a knife from inside of it. He ran it over his arm. He winced as blood started to flow from the cut. He looked at the blade and put it down on the counter. And pushed the sleeve of his shirt back down. He decided cutting wouldn't work. He looked at the bottle of Tylenol on the kitchen table. He smiled at it. He waited another hour to make sure Lars was in a deep sleep. It was 2:30 AM Twister took the Tylenol, a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and a marker.
He got into his back yard and opened the bottle or Tylenol and poured the pills out into his hand. The pills almost instantly turned red because of the blood dripping down his arm. "Well, its now or never...." He thought as he swallowed the pills with the water he brought.
He stopped at the well he planned on leaving Lars a note and throwing it into the well. Then he remembered that he hadn't brought any paper. He took the empty Tylenol bottle and wrote on it. "Sorry for every thing." Signed his name, and threw the bottle into the well. He heard it hit the bottom. And then he went on down through the woods behind his house. After walking a little further he got out of his chair and sat on the ground under the tree. He didn't know how long it was before he started feeling weird. But soon his heart was racing and before he knew it he had fallen asleep.
