*Drip…drip…drip…*
The sound of the overflowing water helps me keep my mind in this silent white bathroom.
Is this really the only way out?
"Ha…" I let out a tired sigh.
I look at the watch on my wrist.
7:33 PM
The minutes pass, I stay sitting besides the bathtub.
Who would have guessed this would take so long. I tried watching some video on my phone but It wasn't interesting anymore.
I just thought… thought about my life… The reason behind it all… but i got to the same conclusion… My life have no meaning.
This was the only way out.
I take another look at my watch.
8:50 PM
My Mom should be on her way… She should arrive soon… I hope I make this in time. I don't want her to see me like this.
My head is killing me…
Dizziness is washing over my head.
My hand with a cut on the wrist under the warm water of the bathtub. Blood dyeing the tempered liquid in a red crimson shade.
*Tud.*
I hit my head against the floor as i fall.
My cheast feels heavy. It's getting harder and harder to breathe and the steam is not helping, but i keep my wrist underwater.
"Eby!" My mom enters the room and shouts desperately as she finds me with her eyes.
Fuck… This will get annoying…
Those same cold eyes that always looked down on me… those dead eyes that don't get tired of judging me…
Despite what they used to do, now they're full of sadness and confusion…
Ha… Why is she doing this? She never even cared about me, so why now?… When I've already decided…
Tears welled up in my eyes. My mom hugs me and takes the phone out of her pocket.
*Bip bip bip*
*Beeeep… beeep… beeep…beeep*
"Please, please, fast…" My mother begs as she holds my weak body.
My mind begins to fade… My vision is getting foggy…
My hand slips from the bathtub, falling to the cold bathroom floor.
"911, How can i…"
"PLEASE AN AMBULANCE!" My mother interrupts with a shout as she sobbs.
"Calm down Miss, tell me what's…"
The dripping sound of the overflowing tub overtakes my hearing. My eyelids feel heavy. My body feels weak. The light of the ceiling is too bright.
I finally close my eyes.
________________________________________
The dizziness was gone, but my head feels heavy.
I'm laying down on a soft fluffy mattress, and a even more soft comfy pillow, but the pillow feels wet.
I slowly open my eyes, the first thing that welcomes me is a wooden ceiling, no lightbulb.
Huh? Weird… Am i at the hospital?
As i look around i noticed I'm laying on what seems like a bedroom. However, it looks antique, like a medieval bedroom, but instead of candles, some kind of blue stones are sticked to the wall.
As I sit on the bed, a piece of bandage falls, hanging from my forehead.
Hm? What happened? I didn't remember something happening to my head… ah… right, i feel to the floor. But what is this room? What kind of strange hospital…
*Tud.*
The door slams open and a young looking girl with a maid outfit and dark black hair enters the room with teary eyes.
"Young Masterr!" The girl ran towards me.
"Young Master?" I repeat incredulously.
Me? A young master? What kind of prank is this? Really? After what I just tried… huh? What was i doing before this?…
"Argh…" I let out a deep groan as a stabbing pain strikes my head.
Fuck… i feel it on my brain…
"Ha… ha… Lia?…"
"Young Master! You should be sleeping! You need to rest." The girl spoke as she got to the side of my bed.
"Ah… How clumsy… I'll talk to the doctor that put the bandage on you, this was too loose." Lia complained under her breath. She brought her hands to my forehead and she tightened the bandages.
She then grabbed my pillow.
"Look at this! It's full of sweat and even has some blood… did you had a nightmare? It's not common for you to have nightmares young master…I'll change your pillow, just use the other one for now"
I just look at her. She sure talks a lot.
Right… How do i know her?
"Who am i?" The words i was thinking escaped my mouth without further notice, escaping the rigorous filter i use everytime.
The girl titled her head in confusion and answered without question.
"Young Master Finn, Finnley Calanthor, the first son of the Duke Calanthor."
