Chapter three: Blood and Scars.
Scene five: A lonely home.
I was in the cab now, it was a twenty five miunte drive from here to my house. But I didn't care. All I could think about was Anna. I really did hope that she was alright.
Staring out of the cabs window, it started to dribble with rain outside. I sighed. Knowing I would be heading back to my lonely house with myself as my only company. Anna kept rotating in my mind. Endless questions roaming around in my head.
I know she was depressed and stuff, but she really shouldn't be hurting herself. She would probably be at home now, drowning in those dark thoughts of hers. She was alone. Trapped and scared. I didn't even realise that a tear started to dab down my cheek as I were beginning to dwell on all the possibilities that Anna could harm herself with.
*twenty five minutes later*
The cab pulled out infront of my mistry looming house now. Staring at it from inside the cab, it was starting to look a bit creepy. Since I was the only one living in it.
I reached in my handbag and gave the cab driver the money for driving me all this way.
Cabdriver: Thanks. Are you okay? Your um...mascara is all down your face...
I wipped at my cheeks, looking at my very black and wet fingers. This whole Anna thing must really be getting to me. I had to see if she was okay.
Elsa: Um...yeah, fine. I just have bad hayfever. Forgot to take my pill. Anyways, thanks for driving me.
I smiled at him a bit, as he had his eyebrows raised as if to say I was lieing. But I didn't really care. I made my feet drag me from the cab, and carry me to my front door.
Reaching for my keys in my handbag, the man in the cab started to slowly drive away.
Unlocking the door and stepping into this house, I figured I was really alone. I mean, I hardly see my friends anymore, both of my parents are dead, and I didn't even have anyone to comfort me.
Closing and locking the door, I threw my handbag to the side, as I slowly slid down the door to sit down, putting my hands over my face.
I didn't know what was wrong with me. I usually didn't care if I was alone. With no friends and no family. It never really bothered me. That's when I started to over think it. With Anna being depressed and all, it must br effecting myself.
Realising this, I jumped up and reached for my handbag, which was now spilled all over the floor.
Grabbing my phone from the side of the bag, I went on my log book to find Anna's number. I gathered up the courage to dial the number, instead of just texting it.
Scene six: Unexpected phone call.
Pressing the dial button, I felt the sudden urge of panic and despair. I couldn't help but worry about her. Saying this, I had even more weird feelings in the bottomless pit of my stomach. Just to hear her voice would probably just send me crazy.
It rang and rang and rang. Yet still no answer. I kept hanging up and trying again. But still, I wasn't getting anything. I sure hope she hasn't done anything stupid.
I let out a big sigh, as with my right hand I wipped away the new tears that were beginning to fall down my face.
I decided to ring her one last time. If she didn't answer...well...I would just go out looking for her.
I gasped as someone answered the phone with a slight stutter.
Anna: H-hello?
Elsa: Anna! It's me, Elsa! I was just ringing you to check if you were okay.
Anna: Oh, hey Elsa. *sniffles* y-yeah I'm f-fine.
Elsa: Anna? Are you crying?
Anna: Um. y-yeah. I just switched on a movie which is really upsetting. *sniffles*
I could tell it in her voice, that she was deliberately lieing.
Elsa: Anna. Your not...yanno. Hurting yourself...are you?
There was a long pause. As Anna didn't know how to answer.
Anna: Nonono! I'm fine E-Elsa, honestly.
Elsa: Areeeeeee you sure?
Anna: Yeah. I'm good. *sniffles*
I knew she was hurting herself. I didn't want her to. I felt my emotions ball up inside of me, as all I wanted to do was hold her in my arms, to kiss her and make it all better.
I wanted to see her. As soon as possible. She couldn't hide this away from me.
Elsa: Hey, are you busy tomorrow?
Anna: N-no, why? Do you wanna see me or something?
Elsa: Of course I want to see you beautiful! This can be our second date if you like...
Anna: Sure. Where do you want me to meet you?
I paused for a minute. I needed a quiet place where I could confront her without anyone else getting involved.
Elsa: There's a huge park not far from that chocolate store. Do you know it?
Anna: Ooooohhh yeah. I live a couple of blocks from there.
Elsa: Great! What time then? Two pm?
Anna: Yeah, that's cool.
Elsa: Okay, see you tomorrow then Anna.
Anna: See you, Elsa.
I didn't want to hang up. Hearing her voice was the only thing keeping me sane around here. I kept staring at my phones screen as she hung up, which sent me into hundreds of tears.
I forced my heels off my feet, as I leapt up, making my way up the stairs, and into my bedroom.
Closing the door, I sprang onto my bed. Laying down, I wrapped my hands around my legs, as I let the tears flow, and the sobs from my chest push me into a nightmarish sleep..
