Chapter 12
The bathroom door was usually open. Trevor noticed that it was closed.
"Maddie?" Trevor said. He knocks on the bathroom door He knocks again, louder. There is still silence.
"Maddie!" Trevor shouts. He tries the door. It's locked. "Maddie! Open the door. I know you're in there! Come on now! Open the door!"
Suddenly, Trevor gets a weird, hollow feeling.
"Zack! Go get Arwin and tell him to bring his tools!"
"ok" Zack said.
When Arwin got upstairs, Trevor explained to him what was going on. Arwin took out a screwdriver and fumbled with the lock. Finally the lock opened. Trevor flung the door open.
Trevor froze, as though someone showered him with ice.
A soft whimper comes from Trevor's mouth.
Maddie is lying on the floor, with her knees crooked with her chest. Trevor kneels on the floor and shakes Maddie's shoulders.
"Maddie!" Trevor shakes Maddie more vigorously. Maddie rolls to one side, her head lolling like a puppet with its strings cut. Her mouth falls open like a fish. She is barely breathing.
Trevor reaches for Maddie's wrist. He checks for a pulse. He feels an unsteady rhythm.
He takes away the blue notebook that Maddie is holding to her chest. He rolls her onto her back.
He looks around the bathroom. A vodka bottle on the side of the bathtub. Empty. A medicine bottle on the bathroom mat. Empty. A pen on the floor beside three letters. Trevor picks up the three letters. The letters were addressed to Lance, Trevor, and her parents.
"Zack, call an ambulance" Trevor said.
Zack just stood there.
"Zack!"
"Huh?"
"Call an ambulance!"
"Right" Zack says as he stumbles for the phone. His voice cracking as he speaks.
The wait seems endless for Trevor and Zack, as they wait for the ambulance to come and rescue the love of their lives.
