Chapter 16 That cunt
Then, May walked by me and went to the living room to answer the phone. I felt very scared and wanted to hold her hand and tell her not to listen because it would be heartbreaking for her. The truth is, I really want to hit her and make her unconscious.
I feel conflicted because I want to tell her something, but I am scared to say it. The phone could have bad news, but I don't want her to answer it. In the end, I couldn't stop myself and chased after her to grab her from behind!
She yelled and acted shocked when I touched her, "Let me go! Leave me Finn!". I was worried and shouted, "Don't go get it! Patrick had a car accident!"
I felt better after I said that - like a heavy weight was taken off my shoulders. But then I became afraid because her appeared frozen and didn't move at all. I was afraid when she became stiff, so I hugged her tighter. I didn't want to let go because I thought she might get weaker if I did.
She spoke in a strange and calm way, and asked, "Is it April Fool?". I got more scared as she spoke calmly. I wanted to make her feel better, but I didn't know the right words to say.
She spoke quietly, "Stop hugging me." I refused and held her more tightly. Today, the weather is bad as it has been cloudy throughout the day. In the evening, the sky gets dark very quickly which led to the entire surroundings becoming pitch black. The house wasn't lit up, so it was extremely difficult to see in the darkness.
She said again, "Release me."
I kept moving my head back and forth, saying "No!"
She yelled really loudly and said "Let go of me!" but I didn't listen and held onto her tightly. My fingers started hurting right away.
She hurt me by pinching and squeezing my hand really tightly while I was holding onto her. She even hurt my fingers. I felt a lot of pain that made me cry, but I didn't want to let go of her. Suddenly, the annoying ringing phone stopped. She began to cry, saying "Please, Finn, let me go."
My heart felt really heavy. I'm not scared of her getting mad at me. However, when she asks me for something, I feel bad saying no. I heard her crying and felt sad, but I couldn't do anything to make her feel better, so I had to stop holding her. After I released her, she quickly ran to the phone in a panicked state to make a call, like a wild horse.
She called relatives of Patrick to check if something happened to him. I closed my eyes and my hands were clenched, but I can't describe how I felt. I feel so bad.
She became very engrossed in her thoughts, as though something sudden and unexpected had happened to her. She looked silly for a bit and then suddenly sat down, holding onto her knees and crying really hard.
We quickly left and drove to the hospital where Patrick stays. It took us ten minutes to get there. The rain was falling outside and the wipers on the front of the car were moving back and forth to clear it. May drove really fast, which was surprising because I had never seen her drive like that before. It was also raining heavily that night, which made it dangerous to drive this fast.
I didn't say anything, but if anything happens to us, it's okay. I'm not scared and I actually hope we can die together because that would be okay. Before we die, I will hug her tightly and never let go.
She almost hit other cars a few times, making me scared. My cousin lives in a big hospital in the nearest city. It takes two to three hours to drive there from our home at normal speed. She drove really fast to get to the place quickly at night when the road was empty, so we got there in a little more than an hour.
When I went to the hospital, I felt really sad but didn't show it. It was so strong it made it hard for me to breathe a little bit. She was walking quickly and telling me to go faster and go faster.
We walked quickly and got wet in the rain. People looked at us strangely because of how we looked. We walked for a little while to get to the room where Patrick was having an operation, and there were a lot of our family members there.
I felt my heart pounding when I looked at my cousin's family. They all seemed upset and angry, with sad expressions on their faces. My Mom and Dad are with us and they're both worried about May and me. I'm worried Patrick might not survive... I'm not dumb, and when I saw what was happening, I thought it could happen.
She is calmer than me. She breathed in deeply and went towards them. I was scared to go, but I did it for her. So, I tried to be positive and brave and then walked over. I saw the surgery room with red lights which meant my cousin was still having surgery and was not out of danger yet.
May is biting her lip. She looks calm, but I can tell she's nervous because she usually hides it. Patrick's moms looks very scary and mean when she looks at May. She might even try to hurt her if there weren't other people around.
I was confused. How does May have anything to do with Patrick's car accident? My cousin has been gone for three months and cheated on someone. So, why are they blaming her? She is innocent and shouldn't have to take the blame.
Quivering, May asked, "Patrick... Is he holding up?" No one spoke a single word... I started to feel uneasy and wondered what was happening. Then, my cousin's mom yelled at her, "May Bristol, how dare you come? If anything happens to my son, I will kill you!"
May got scared and asked her why she was upset, "What do you mean, mom? I came here because I care for him and want to know if he's okay. Why are you saying these to me? Just tell me is he holding up?!"
Honestly, it made me sad to see her so upset. My cousin's mom came forward and got really angry at her, "Yeah. Nice. Keep on you bitch! He hasn't been living happily ever since he married you!"
My aunt was mean to her, which made me upset even though she used to be nice to me. I quickly got up and stood in front of May. I shouted, "It's not her fault. Patrick is the one who did something wrong!"
I spoke too quickly and without thinking. I was usually well-behaved and had never spoken loudly to elder people like that before. My dad came over and took me by the arm. He was angry and talked loudly, "How dare you speak like that to your aunt?! Apologize right now! Otherwise I will beat you ass!"
When he was mad, his eyes looked really big and scary like a bull's eye, and many people were scared of him. I got really scared and my body felt weird. I was afraid that if I said something he didn't like, he would hurt me in front of everyone.
I wouldn't give up, but I stayed quiet. My mom went to say something nice to my aunt who always acts kindly. I shouted at her in front of a lot of people, so she probably felt very upset. You could tell from her face.
I'm not scared of her, I just care about May and want to check on how Patrick is doing.
All of a sudden, I saw someone behind my aunt, and realized it was the same woman I saw with my cousin the other day! That obnoxious cunt!
