*Flashback*
Two weeks after Scarlet's death in the accident.
I knew that Nym was very upset after having to watch her lover die like that. The emptiness in her eyes were like a black pit. She walked around like she had died in the accident too. I only ever saw her that way when she visited her Lily's grave.I thought that she would be used to death by now, but I guess I was wrong.
I thought maybe she just needed time to accept the reality that she was gone and wasn't coming back. I was wrong. What she needed was a friend.
I decided to finally visit her after the funeral and I'll never forget the scene that greeted me.
I knocked on the door several times. Panic began to set in as I knocked louder and louder. Something was wrong. I picked up my phone and dialed her number. I was greeted with the voicemail. Shit! Shit! Shit! I swiped the spare key from out of my wallet and jammed it into the lock. I ran into her house.
I called out and heard a few ruff pants near me.
I almost flew into the kitchen to find her sitting in a pool of dark crimson blood. A knife was laying haphazardly on the tile. Her pale knees were brought up to her chest lacerations covered her body. Her left arm laid limply on the ground clutching a locket with a dragon embossed into it. The locket was open revealing a picture of her and Scarlet in autumn.
She didn't know that I was here and reached out towards the blade once more. She was mumbling to herself like a mad woman.
"You deserve this You deserve it. You deserve this." She kept repeating those awful words as more blood seeped from her already ghostly pale body.
Shit! She is gonna bleed out. I ran to get a first-aid kit from the cabinet under the sink. I immediately started to clean up her wounds. Some were deep enough that she would need stitches. I did my best to bind the wounds so no more blood would ebb out. I took out my phone and dialed a number. I called Grace to come out her immediately.I reached my arms around her and I was only greeted with a blank stare. It scared me. I pulled her into my body.
"Why? Would you do this? You are being so selfish!" Tears began to flood my vision. "You know it would hurt Lily and Scarlet to see you this way! It's okay to talk to me about these things. You can't just keep them bottled up inside only to end up exploding." Nym started to shake in my arms.
"Do you have any idea what I'd do if I lost you after I lost my parents. Our parents Nym; you are like a sister to me, so how could you just leave me. I can't lose you too! If you need to cry then I'll be there for you. I'll always be there for you, you are so strong that you're stupid."
I felt something warm hitting my arms. I thought her bandages were being soaked once more, but I only found crystal like tears.
"There you go. Just let it alllll out." I rubbed her back as her body was racked by sobs. It hurt me to see her like this because she was my rock. She was there if I was upset, and when I needed help. She was there for me after mom and dad died two years ago.
I guess even the strongest boulder will eventually wither away and show it's cracks. I was so mad. Not only at her but myself because I should have known. I should have known she was hurting, but what did I do? I left her alone and this was the repercussion for my actions.
The next thing I know Grace rushes into the room. "Fuck I need to get a transfusion ready." She looked angrily at me. "You should have called me sooner! She doesn't have much blood left in her body." She looked at the floor and at our clothes.
"Blood type is A- positive...." she rattled off and sterilized her arm. She hooked the needle in quickly. She also gave Nym a dose of sedatives.
"I'm gonna have to take her back to the lab for observations for at least a week." Grace stated "but we'll wait for 30 minutes so you can rinse of and pack a bag for her. She pointed towards Nym who was laying on the ground.
I rinsed off but I still felt as though I was covered in blood. The pungent odor was imprinted in my head and my nose. I didn't even feel the water on my skin. When I had finished showering I packed a duffel full of Nym's things and headed downstairs.
There was no longer blood on the floor as Grace cleaned it once more.
We carried Nym into the back of the van and headed off to Grace's lab.
*Flashback Ends*
My eyes remained closed as I thought to myself. I am glad that Nym finally has that boy. Maybe he'll be the one who brings the joy back into her eyes. My fingers tapped on the desk.I hope I never see her that upset again.
