Lacey’s Suicide: Page 1

There are monsters that dwell deep in my subconscious. Monsters with bodies pitch black and wide white eyes, and when I stare into them I see white light, maybe they lead me to hell as if heaven exists but then why would I see white?

My eyes open after hearing my phone ring a few times. I gather the strength to pick my phone off the nightstand after being utterly exhausted.

My raspy voice made me sound as if I was sick "Hello?"

"Could you come over, please?"

"No", I answered.

I hung up the phone as quick as I answered it. I put my phone on silent immediately afterwards.

I knew I should of let her come over.

The next morning the sun peers through the window reflecting off my curtains. I sat up in bed, grabbing my phone. My eyes widened as my eyes adjust to read "20 missed calls".

Oh Lacey, please tell me your okay.

I had this deep feeling that something was really wrong. The monsters in my subconscious are sending waves throughout my body telling me she's not okay, was it their doing?

I loved her, why didn't I answer.

I opened my phone "16 missed calls from Lacey, 1 from Lane, and 2 from Lacey's Mom, 1 from Lacey's Dad".

I pressed redial, there was no answer from Lacey. I called Lacey's mom and she sounded somber "Hello?"

"Hey Ms. Mcbradley, is Lacey, okay?"

"No. She passed away this morning by suicide".

"Wh-What? Are you lying to me? This has to be some April fools shit...right?!"

"No, I'm afraid not. Your free to come over and keep Lane some company, he's really upset, it's the least you could do".

"I-".

She hung up.

I couldn't think I was in shock. I just threw my phone to the very far end of the room and cried. I laid in bed for at least an hour before falling asleep. Days after Days, week after week, I didn't move, I didn't eat, I only slept.

Then a knock lands on my bedroom door. I don't remember leaving the door unlocked to the front of the house. If I get murdered. I don't really care, I rather be in the same hell as Lacey then stay on this miserable earth seeing my monsters every time I close my eyes.

The door opened and I didn't dare move.

"Camila...".

It was Lane's voice.

"He covered his nose, since the room smelled like my own filth, my own piss.

He opened the blinds after he pushed the curtain back. He opened the window slightly then he stared at me. "You look dead, just an empty vessel, I don't think you've eaten anything at all. You've wet the bed too".

He took his shirt off. And then headed into my bathroom, I heard the water run. It had to be about 30 minutes. He came out the bathroom and picked me off out of the bed. He removed the bit of clothes I had on and gently placed me into the water. Lane, Lacey's brother had seen me naked from childhood, he usually bathed me and Lacey without a problem.

He lifted my arms and scrubbed me from head to toe. I remember how my body developed faster than Lacey's and Lane said the oddest thing to me.

"Are comfortable with me looking at them or should I just stare at Lacey's?"

He stared at me "Looks like your done, I finished making your lunch".

I didn't speak at all.

For the past few months he took care of me. He quit his job, he looked after me 24/7, he took all the knives and pills out of the drawers and cabinets. He fed me, brushed my hair, and even read me bedtime stories.

Then he became odd again, he sat on the couch and opened his legs manspreading as usual "Camila, I wanted to let you know, it wasn't your fault she died".

"Huh?"

"We had an incestuous relationship, I guess she couldn't handle loving two different people at once, I told her to choose and I guess I see why she couldn't".
