Chapter Six:
Everybody had gotten their chance to be alone with Marta, except Alicia and Freddy...Alicia decided to go first, Freddy last..Walking into the hospital room, Alicia sat in the chair next to Marta's bed...Being her best friends, Alicia's eyes quickly filled up with tears.
"Hey, girl..God, I'm crying..Well, let's just say those tears are happy tears not sad...I guess we're not in a very good situation, huh? You..You trying to kill yourself made a lot of drastic things happen: Summer actually swore, Katie yelled at someone and Michelle got kicked out of the band..Which I know you'd be happy about..So..Wake up soon, Blondie" Alicia said, standing up and wiping the tears off her face.
Walking out of the room, Alicia was startled when she saw Freddy leaning against the door, making her jump backwards.
"Freddy...You scared me to death" Alicia said, sighing "Damn..I shouldn't of said that"
"No..It's ok, Braceface" Freddy said
"Hey, I got my braces off a long time ago" Alicia said
Almost laughing at this, Freddy ran into the room and shut the door behind him...Sitting down, Freddy grabbed Marta's hand, rubbing his fingers around her knuckles, like he always did If he ever gave her a massage..Clearing his throat, Freddy started to speak.
"I was thinking about the first time I heard you sing...It was in forth grade: You, Katie, Billy and I were singing karaoke at one of my parents stupid dinner parties they were throwing..You were too shy to sing, but when I said that you were just a chicken you jumped up from where you were sitting and ripped through that song catalog and picked: "Dreaming of You" by Selena...It was beautiful..We were all mesmerized by how you sung...Why would you want to kill that? Why would you want to kill yourself, period? Well, I do know why nut..You're perfect..I mean no one is perfect..But in my eyes you are beautiful on the inside and out and I'm not saying this because I'm your cousin, I'm saying It because I mean It" Freddy said, fighting back tears
Holding in those tears were hard for him, burning his eyes they were becoming unbearable..The pain he was feeling was killing him..Marta was killing Freddy softly with her song, sung beautifully with rhythmic patterns and tone, but also deafening, a thing that could make you lose control and do something drastic..Like kill yourself..Letting those tears fall freely, Freddy looked at Marta's face: Her skin pasty, he could see blood seeping through the bandages around her wrists..Marta was fragile right now, she could break at any moment if her friends didn't help her hold on..But, there was one thing that Freddy noticed the most..Marta's eyes..The edges were brimmed with tears..Freddy slowly but his hand to Marta's face, and wiped those tears away, only to feel Marta shutter.
"Zack..." Marta whispered
"Talk..Marta say something else" Freddy exclaimed
"Love...you...Freddy" Marta struggled out
Freddy smiled...Marta's eyes slowly begun to open, looking around that room, she wondered where she was.."Am I Dead?" Marta thought.."Oh, God..I Am!"..Marta's eyes began to ger larger, her mouth opening letting out a small scream, sitting up in the bed, still looking around.
"Is this Heaven...Or Hell?" Marta asked, her eyes very wide
"Marta..You're not.." Freddy said, but was cut off
"I'm not dead? Am I alive?" Marta asked
"Yes..You are..But barely were earlier today" Freddy said, nodding his head down
Marta looked down at the bloody bandages wrapped around her wrists, and yelped..She had actually done it..Who had found her?
"Wh-Who found me?" Marta asked, shocked
"Zack..He called the ambulance at your apartment" Freddy said, Marta laid back into her hospital bed and started to cry
"He probably hates me now..I'm a total mess-up...Just..Just go tell someone that I'm up or something..I need to be alone and think" Marta said, Freddy nodded
Freddy ran out of the room to tell his friends and Marta's doctor the great news...This had actually put a smile on Freddy's face, It made him happy..He liked feeling that again.
