Over the Edge
Shattered
It was an average day for the Middleton Mad-Dog's Cheerleading squad. They were practicing their smaller routines, so some girls were sitting out. One girl however had left and entered the locker room. Kim was at the top of the current pyramid, and her best friend Ron Stoppable was standing by.
He was off to the side during practice, waiting for his cue to rush up foaming at the mouth. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Ron Stoppable loved his place on the cheerleading team. It was because he was off to the side, away from the blaring boom box that he heard it. It was a scream from the girls locker room. It was quite clearly Bonnie Rockwaller's voice. Ron counted the girls on the floor, all except Bonnie were out there. It was strange he could have sworn he had heard Bonnie yell the words "I hate you."
That was when he heard the second sound. It was a shatter. He knew that sound well, he was usually the cause of it. Ron took off his Mad Dog head and knocked on the locker room door. He called in, "Bonnie? Are you alright?" he received no answer. He steeled his courage and opened the door. Rufus covered his eyes and they went in. he only had to go a few fee to see Bonnie in front of a broken vanity mirror the girls had in their locker room. She had a large piece in her hand, which was bloody already. It was pressed against her wrist. Ron's eyes were as large as dinner plates. Ron tapped Rufus on the head, and pointed the naked mole rat at the problem. Rufus squeaked and leapt out to do what Ron knew he would do.
"Hey Bonnie," Ron said in a calm voice. "Whatchya doin'?"
"Go away Stoppable, What does it look like?"
"Bonnie," Ron said holding his hands up. "You don't wanna do that."
"Why not?" she snarled back. "It isn't like anyone will miss me. Least of all you or Kim Perfect."
"Come on Bonnie, I've been right where you are right now, and trust me, you don't wanna go further. I've been there. It wont help."
"It'll make the pain stop." Bonnie cried as she gripped the jagged piece of mirror tighter. Blood seeped out from her palm, and from her knuckles.
"No, it wont. All it will end is hope. As long as you are alive there is hope." Ron had slowly been moving closer to Bonnie. Now there was only a foot between them.
At that point the girls ran in following Rufus. They all stopped as they saw the scene. Bonnie had the piece of jagged mirror clutched in her right hand and pressed against her left wrist. Her hands were covered in blood. Her face was stained with tears. Ron was a foot from her, his hands up as if he was dealing with a wild animal. As Bonnie looked up to see the new distraction, Ron lunged. He was able to knock the make-shift knife away from her. She flung herself back, hoping to land either on the broken mirror or close enough to grab more. Ron wrapped her in a bear hug to hold her away. Slowly both Ron and Bonnie sank to their knees, Ron still holding her from behind. She wailed and wept.
"Tara, get your cell and call an ambulance!" Kim suddenly snapped. The entire team had been stupefied, watching one of their own try to commit suicide. Kim ran I and pulled off her new yellow cheerleading uniform, not really caring hat Ron could see her in nothing but her bra. Kim held her the uniform over Bonnie's wounds.
Ron slowly started rocking Bonnie back and forth, and he began to sing to her, hoping to calm he down. "Rock-a-bye Bonnie, in the tree top
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bow breaks the cradle will fall
And down will come Bonnie, cradle and all."
Bonnie slowly stopped wailing and looked up at Ron with tears in her eyes, and then just seemed to pass out. Ron and Kim stayed with her until the ambulance arrived. Ron kept her in the hug, and Kim kept pressure on the hands. One of the girls had come and put a coat over Kim at some point.
Bonnie was taken to Middleton General Hospital for treatment. They said that because of Kim and Ron's quick action, Bonnie would be fine. Ron wasn't so sure. Kim stepped up next to him and asked, "Are you okay?"
Ron didn't even take his eyes off of Bonnie, who had been placed into her own room already. "Yeah, its just . . . it feels like . . ." Ron couldn't seem to find the word he wanted.
"Déjà vu?" Kim offered.
"Yeah, except this time I got to play your part."
Kim heard a familiar loud voice calling, "Where is my Bon-Bon!?" Ms. Rockwaller hadn't been home when Bonnie had been taken to the hospital.
Kim and Ron left the room, and Ms. Rockwaller ran in, in a fit of tears.
Kim's mom, who had already been at the hospital, was waiting outside. Kim went and wrapped her arms around her mother. They hugged and shared a look. Dr. Possibles' said; "Please don't carry pain like that, talk to me." Kim's was the answer; "I'll never do this to you."
"Ronald?" called Dr. Possible, "Are you alright?"
Ron nodded, but gave no other indication that he had heard. Ron hadn't even noticed that Rufus was still with Tara down in the waiting room. This all felt too familiar for Ron.
