The music seems to be coming from the house,you could here teenagers cheering themselves from inside, some decided to hang at the pool while some decided to play crazy games, Kelsey and Mena just sat at one corner, kelsey drinking and vibing as Mena only cheers at her....
Arghhhhh, Kelsey groans
Are you okay? Mena ask
My head hurts, Kelsey replies
Let's get out of here then, Mena suggested
They both walked out using the back door and heard towards the garden sitting on the porch
It feels so quiet here.... Kelsey says
well I see no dj around...Mena tells her
Ohh!!!!.... Kelsey exclaims
you re so drunk you don't even know the right words to use...Mena tells her laughing
No am not... Kelsey disagrees and laughs loud
Yes you are.....Mena insisted
Do you remember when we first met? Kelsey asked
cos I do at the mall right , I remember how dramatic you were.....Mena says laughing
No I wasn't, the waiter was being rude.... Kelsey says
I agree....Mena says
I need a drink.... Kelsey says
you re drunk already, you know mom wouldn't like that, Mena says
c'mon it's just one drink plus whose gonna tell her?, Kelsey says
I don't...
pleaseeee..... Kelsey begs
fine just one.... Mena stands up and leaves
Hurry...Kelsey yells and laughs
Mena goes back to the party, she speaks with some people
where's Kelsey? Trisha asked
she's drunk...Mena whispers
Typical Mena always doing extras....Lucy chips in
why don't we all go out, it could be our date nights.....Trisha suggest
yeah I like it...Lucy agrees
Alright let's get more drinks then... Mena says
and she turned to Lucy... please hold on to this for me. ( hands the drinks to Lucy)
They get all they need and walk out
where's Kelsey? Trisha asked
I left her here..... Mena says. "Kelsey"
They begin to search for her and all of a sudden Lucy screams calling the attention of the others ,
what's happening? Trisha asked
Lucy could barely speak only covering her mouth in shock
what's going on? Mena ask
Lucy kept pointing at the river, the others followed her hand and saw a lifeless Kelsey floating in the river blood dripping.
Mena walks slowly into the house,her eyes swollen from crying, part of her clothe wet, nervous and confused
you guys are back already? Devon ask but Mena wouldn't speak
Are you okay honey? Devon ask again,she noticed she couldn't find Kelsey
Where's Kelsey? Devon ask
Mum Kels....kel.....kel.....Mena stammers trying to reply admist tears
Devon becomes confused
Say something, where is your sister Mena? Devon ask again this time panicking
But all Mena did was cry even more, just then fill men walked in carrying a lifeless Kelsey
Kelsey is dead mum... Mena says finally
Devon turns towards the men rushing towards her daughter and tapping her
Kelsey, Kelsey.....talk to me baby.....why aren't you opening your eyes.... why isn't she opening her eyes? Devon asked panicking
Why isn't she responding? what happened to my daughter? Devon asked this time crying
Mena what happened to your sister?
why is she cold? Devon ask crying uncontrollably
Answer me.... Devon yells at Mena
I dunno ,she only said she wanted a drink and I went to get it, when we came back we couldn't find her, we started searching and Lucy found her at the river....Mena replies crying...." I don't know what happened to her mum"
Kelsey.... Devon calls " Baby mama is here, you need to speak with me" Devon says tapping kelsey
say something..you can't do this to me.... Devon says still tapping her
Mena help me wake your sister please, Devon begs crying " Tell her she needs to get up , Devon begs but Kelsey wouldn't budge instead she became more cold and stiff, Devon felt her heart leaving her,she held her hair so tight pulling out her scalp, she watched the men take her daughter out
God please this can't be happening..... Devon finds herself saying...." no ..no...no, she follows the men out as Mena joins still crying.
Grieving the loss of an only child is not something Devon thought would ever happen to her, Kelsey has always been her hope now, now she was certain nothing could fix the cracks in her heart....Her daughter lying in the mortuary made her heart ache the more....
.she wouldn't eat, or even have her bath, finalizing on the fact that life had decided to be cruel, she just lay there refusing to move
, she heard a knock on the door but was too weak to even open the door, the person knocked again
Devon are you in? its me Shawn , Shawn said outside waiting for her to reply but he heard nothing all he heard was Devons tired cough
knowing fully well all wasn't alright, he pushed the door open and fortunately it's was unlocked, he walks in to meet her ,he sees her on the ground and rushes to meet her
ohh Devon you shouldn't be doing this to yourself
leave me alone, Devon said taking his hands off her
c'mon you need to get up, you know Kelsey wouldn't like this, Shawn says
she should have thought about that before leaving me , Devon yells crying
I understand...c'mon ....he helps her up taking her to sit on one of the sofas
"you shouldn't be like this, have you eaten? Shawn asked
am not hungry, Devon replies faintly
I insist you need to eat, Shawn says and rushes to the kitchen to hurriedly prepare something
How is Mena? Devon ask
she also not eating anything, refuse to go to school, doesn't even want to see anyone, have tried , Shawn says. " but you no what ,she ll be fine, you need to eat first okay? shawn says
and if you need anything I ll be here, he assures .
Shawn has always been very supportive of his family and people he cared about, he knew the state of which his daughter was in and he knew he had to always make her feel good again, training Mena has been hectic but he had tried his best to make the most of it,he fixed breakfast and decides to take it to her room, knowing she won't come out he heave a sigh and knocks at her door.
Mena... breakfast is served and as expected she reply
Mena you haven't eaten, you need to eat, she still didn't reply
I ll break this door Mena, he says
when he knew she wouldn't open he uses his spare key to open the door, the room was a mess,it's was really unlike Mena.....she wasn't in the room
Mena, he calls but no one replied, he checks the bathroom and sees his daughter on the floor ,A knife by her side and she was bleeding profusely
ohh shit!!! he rushes to her , picks her up ,and takes her out of the room picking his car keys from the dinning table heading straight to the hospital...
Devon rushes to the hospital and sees Shawn pacing up and down, she was quiet unkempt but she didn't mind
Shawn.....she calls
Ohh Devon thank God your here, Shawn exclaimed
I came as soon as you called me, what happened? Devon asked
Its Mena, she tried taking her own life
.....Shawn says
oh my God!!!.... Devon exclaims, have you spoken with the doctor yet? she ask again
They say she lost blood, she's currently in the ICU.....Shawn says
I hope nothing happens to her...have lost Kelsey , I can't loose her too,....Devon says
she ll be fine, I just know it...Shawn encourages himself .
