Get Out! [23]

Asher

I was sitting in class when someone knocked on the door, then it flung open. Sara was standing there waiting for the lecture she was going to get because she was late.

She wore her hoodie hood up and tightened it. She looked miserable, to say the least.

"You are late -" Mr Paul started but stopped when he saw Sara. He probably knows what happened.

"I'm so sorry for your loss, Sara. You may enter, " Mr Paul said to her with a pity smile. God, how I hate pity.

She just nodded at him and scanned the room for an empty seat. Due to her luck, the only empty one was next to me. She came and sat next to me, and people started talking.

'Did you know her dad killed himself?'

'Yeah, both her parents are dead'

'I heard none of her relatives wanted her'

People started whispering. Why are people so heartless?

The two girls behind us just continued trashing but in a louder voice.

"I heard her mum was a slut." Lana said wow! she is such a bitch. "Yeah me too. They said Sara wasn't even the man's real daughter." The other answered.

"Ew, what a b!tch" Lana said making a disgusted voice.

"Forget about them they don-" I started but she just stood up. I was about to ask what was happening but she grabbed Lana's hair in a fist and yanked her head back.

Not this again.

"Don't you dare call my mother a slut or a bitch! You pathetic excuse of a human being" she screamed at her before banging the girl's head on the table. Damn.

A crowd started gathering and the teacher was trying to squeeze through. Till you come here she will kill her dumba**.

"Hey hey stop stop," I said to her. I went to her and picked her up. I pinned her hands to her chest and started walking away.

"Let - go of - me let me teach this bitch a fu**ing lesson" she screamed kicking and trying to get away. I'm holding her in a death grip she cannot get away unless I allow you.

"Sara. Sara. Stop god you are so stubborn." I said while I carried her out of the class to an empty one.

When we arrived at the empty class I put her down closed the door behind me and stood in front of it.

"Open this damn door Asher I'm going to fu**ing kill that b!tch" she shouted making me want to pull my ears off. She tried pushing me away from the door but miserably failed.

"Sara you need to relax" I said rolling my eyes at her attempt to push me away.

"Relax! I don't need to relax! She called my mum a freaking slut I'm gonna kill her!" She screamed at me. She was shaking with anger.

"Sara people have mouths of course they are gonna talk chill the fuck out!" I said to her sternly. I'm talking from experience here! She should believe me.

She completely ignored me and I knew there was no use in stopping her. She pushed me again and this time I let her open the door. She flung it open and was about to go back and find Lana but was met with an extremely angry principal.

He already hates her guts so we both knew he won't go easy on her. Sara froze in her place when she saw him.

"You two to my office right now, your parents are on their way!" He ordered before walking away angrily.

"Great now I'm in trouble too thanks Sara" I said with an annoyed voice. What does this have to do with me?

"Thats a you problem no one told you to get me off that b!tch I could've taught her a lesson" she spitted at me. She is still angry. Which I understand but if I had let her she would've killed that girl.

"I think you breaking her nose and her not being able to apply her cakey ass make-up is enough" I chuckled and she gave me her signature glare.

We started walking to the principal office but I noticed Sara swaying left and right. Suddenly her steps got shorter.

I walked a bit faster so I was a few feet behind her. Suddenly her breath became rigid.

She was having an anxiety attack.

"Sara" I called her once. "Sara" then again. Suddenly she stopped and started breathing heavily. She was gasping for air trying to fill her lungs with air.

I didn't know what to do so I just stood behind her with a few feet. And suddenly she collapsed to the ground. I ran to her and fell to the ground on my knees next to her. I held her head on my knee carefully as I tried to wake her up.

"Sara, can you hear me?" I asked. Suddenly Mr Dante appeared in front of me with Alex and Chris behind.

"What happened?" Mr Dante asked, worried. I carried Sara's bridal style and stood up. "I don't know she just suddenly started swaying and breathing heavily, and the next moment, she collapsed," I replied.

"My car is the nearest one. We need to take her to the hospital" Mr Dante ordered and I walked right behind him to his car.

"She just fainted after a panic attack. Again. No big deal just take her to the nurse's office Dad" Alex complained and Chris nudged his shoulder.

"This happened before and you didn't think of telling me?" His dad roared.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but we need to get her to the hospital," said Chris and I completely agree.

We arrived at the parking lot and Mr Dante opened his car. Chris opened the back seat door for me and I gently placed Sara there.

I closed the door and sat in the front door next to Mr Dante. Alex and Chris took Chris's car. Me and Mr Dante sped to the hospital.

The ride was about five minutes and it was dead silence. We arrived and I got down and took Sara gently out. She is still unconscious.

Mr Dante screamed for someone to bring a trolley. The ER workers came running with a trolley and I put her there slowly.

"What happened?" One of the doctors asked as they ran inside the hospital. "She was walking and then she started swaying and fell to the ground. I think she hit her head when she fell." I said all in one breath.

"Take her to room 2, I want an x-ray and an MRI now!" The doctor ordered as they took Sara away.

We were about to go after her but they stopped us saying we were going to have to stay here while they did their job.

About an hour later we were sitting in the waiting area in front of Sara's room. Alex looked so pissed. Why is he so pissed?

He was pacing around while I was sitting next to Chris. Mr Dante was just standing close to the door of Sara's room.

Suddenly the door opened and the doctor came to view. We all stood up.

"She woke are you guys her family?" The doctor asked. "Yes, can we see her?" Mr Dante asked. "Yes we need to talk to you about something important" the doctor informed us and allowed us in.

Sara was connected to a heart monitor. She was extremely pale. And seeing her lying on a hospital bed makes her body physique more visible. And damn is she skinny.

She was lying there looking straight forward. She didn't connect her gaze with us once. The doctor came closer to Sara studying Sara which made her sit up quickly. It is like she just got alarmed.

"Miss Sara, do you know what happened?" The doctor asked. "Yes and I would like to discuss it with you privately if possible" she said sternly trying to get up and leave the bed.

"Miss Sara can you please just lay down" The doctor said trying to get Sara back to bed but Sara wasnt cooperating. "Gosh stop being so stubborn we have other things to do! Just sit your ass down so we can finish this!"Alex screamed at her.

"Alex stop" Chris screamed at Alex pushing him back to a seat.

"Get out!" Sara screamed.

"What?"Mr Dante asked baffled. No one has ever screamed at him like this.

"I said get out! All of you, NOW!" Sara screamed taking off the wires in her hands. The heart monitor started peeping loudly.

"Miss Sara calm down, I'm sorry Miss Sara but I have to tell you Father" the doctor informed Sara.

"He is not my Father. On my ID it is written Jordan. So until my new ID is here you can't inform him with any of my information these are the rules get them out of my room so we can discuss my issues" Sara stated emphasising the word issues.

"I'm sorry Mr Dante but she is right I'm gonna need you to step out" the doctor informed us while she scanned Sara's file and we just looked at her.

"If you don't I'm not gonna say a thing it's the rules" the doctor continued and we all walked out of the room and the doctor closed the door behind us.

"Damn, what a b!tch" I said under my breath.

"Did she just kick us out?" Mr Dante asked still in a state of shock.

"Call the lawyer I want Sara's new ID now!" Mr Dante ordered Alex.

"You are going to give her your last name?" Alex said to his father.

"Yes, she is my daughter too whether you like it or not." Mr Dante replied sternly to his son.

Alex mumbled some words against his breath and took out his phone to call the lawyer.

Sara

I tried to open my eyes but I was met with an incredible amount of white. I closed them again groaning.

I opened them again slowly this time making them able to adjust the lights.

"You are awake Ms Hopes. Hello, I'm your doctor Katie." An unfamiliar woman said to me.

"Where am I this isn't the school nurse's office" I said trying to get up.

"Yes, you are in a hospital honey. Your family is outside I'm going to call them" she said and before I could even answer she opened the door and invited them in.

Perfect. Just how I liked it everyone is here. Please note the sarcasm.

Everyone was here. I didn't dare to look up to meet anyone's gaze. I bet Mr Dante is furious. They called him to school and now he has to stay and take care of my pathetic a**.

The doctor came closer to me. She studied me intensely and I immediately knew what she was gonna say. I immediately sat up.

"Miss Sara, do you know what happened?" Miss Katie asked me.

"Yes and I would like to discuss it with you privately if possible" I said trying to act strong and stood up. I don't want them here while she says how pathetic I am.

"Miss Sara can you please just lay down" The doctor said trying to get me back to bed but  I completely refused. "Gosh stop being so stubborn we have other things to do! Just sit your ass down so we can finish this!"Alex screamed at me.

"Alex stop" Chris screamed at Alex pushing him back to a seat.

"Get out!" I screamed looking him dead in the eye.

"What?"Mr Dante asked baffled.

"I said get out! All of you, NOW!" I screamed taking off the wires in my hands. The heart monitor started peeping loudly.

"Miss Sara calm down please. I'm sorry but we gotta tell you Father" the doctor informed me.

"He is not my Father. On my ID it is written Jordan. So until my new ID is here you can't inform him of any of my information these are the rules get them out of my room so we can discuss my issues" I said emphasising the last word.

"I'm sorry Mr Dante but she is right I'm gonna need you to step out" the doctor informed them and they looked at her like she was ridiculous.

"If you don't I'm not gonna say a thing it is the rules" Miss Katie said to them and they left. She closed the door behind them.

"So Sara, you had a panic attack and due to severe malnutrition you fainted." She said. I released I huge breath. So this is what she found.

I looked at my hands. Oh right, I covered all the scars and bruises in make-up. Stupid me I screamed for no damn reason.

"Miss Sara, do they starve you?" She said extremely slowly, trying to be careful with the word choices.

I barked out a laugh. She looked at me like I was absolutely crazy. "I'm so sorry Ms Katie. But no they don't starve me. My Parents died not long ago so I just cant bring myself to eat." I explained trying to make a good excuse. She nodded.

"You also hit your head when falling but no major injuries or internal bleeding. You will just have a small scar after it heals" she explained and I nodded. She thinks I care about scars. I have ones all over my body a new one won't kill me.

"Oh, and I just had to ask about you know. It is protocol." She explained right before the door burst open.

Mr Dante came inside, holding something in his hand. I flinched due to the banging of the door with the wall, but thank god no one noticed.

He came close to the doctor, looking her dead in the eye. "Here, now tell me what's happening," he said, slamming something at the table next to me. I flinched again.

The doctor took it and examined it before handing it to me.

I took it and examined it. It was my new ID. How did he get that so fast?! Is he this crazy rich?

"Your daughter had a panic attack and she fainted during it. She has malnutrition which is the main reason for the fainting. She did hurt her head but no severe damage just a small cut and we stitched it" she explained quickly before leaving the room.

I was avoiding meeting any of their gazes. They were probably thinking how dumb I am to starve myself because of someone's death but I didn't do it on purpose.

Sometimes I just forget to eat. When you get punished by being starved you tend to not get affected.

"Malnutrition. Really? Don't tell me you are one of those girls who starve themselves to be skinny," Alex said giving me a disgusted look.

Really, that's what he thinks this is?

"Alex stop it" Mr Dante said to his son sternly. Alex rolled his eyes but still didn't say a thing.

I stood up to leave, but someone grabbed my hand, and I flinched away, wincing in pain. I sat back down. I looked up to see Mr Dante looking puzzled.

"Sara, did you just wince?" Mr Dante asked me not breaking eye contact. "It's nothing," I said trying to brush it off while putting on my shoes.

"Sara answer my question! It is not nothing I barely touched you and you winced." He said again but I didn't look up and didn't answer.

He brought his index finger to my chin lightly and lifted my head to meet his gaze. "What happened to your hand Sa-" he started before stopping when he saw something. He was looking at my. neck.

Oh no, the hoodie hood must have fallen and the bruises are visible. "Sara, what's that on your neck? Are those bruises?!" He asked sternly studying my neck.

I snatched my head away still not answering. "I want to go home," I said after putting on my shoes and standing up.

"No, you we are not leaving anywhere before you tell me what happened. And I wanna know now!" Mr Dante ordered making me stand still.

I looked around and saw Alex looking at me with a pale face. While Chris and Asher had a look of sympathy in their eyes.

I turned my gaze to Mr Dante and started. "Some guy in school was giving me a hard time but don't worry Alex took care of it" I replied and looked at Alex. To say that he was shocked would be an understatement.

"Is that true? Did you take care of it, Alex?" Mr Dante asked Chris and he nodded. "I'm proud of you son for taking care of your sister" Mr Dante said to his son patting him on the shoulder.

Alex was about to reply but Mr Dante got a phone call. "Talk," Mr Dante said with a whole new tone. After some seconds Mr Dante hung up.

"I have to go take Sara home Alex she is tired. And make sure she eats"Mr Dante said and started walking to the door but stopped and said "And I didn't forget about the school fight we are going to talk about that later" before leaving.

I exchanged a look with Asher, and I just knew I was cooked.

"Perfect, now I'm being your chauffeur," Alex said to me pissed.

" I can drive myself home, Alex." I sighed, looking around the room and finding my phone on the table next to my bed. I grabbed it and shoved it in my pocket.

"Bro, it is the least you can do she could've just told your father that you are the one who did those bruises," Chris said to him matter of factly.

"And we can come with you and play video games and order pizza,"Asher said, looking at Chris, and he nodded.

"Fine," Alex huffed.

"Look, Alex, I'm not going anywhere with you. I will take a cap" I said to him before heading to the door and yet again someone grabbed my wrist but not harshly.

"What do you want Alex?" I asked roughly pulling my hand away. "What got your hand bruised I know for a matter of fact I didn't touch you there today?" Alex demanded.

I turned to him looking at him shocked. Who does he think he is to ask me this!

"Someone stapped me there" I said bluntly and he looked at me blankly.

"Very funny Sara very funny. I'm serious" he replied. Well I was too. My dad stapped me there with a broken glass of beer. But he doesn't need to know that.

" You do it all the time Alex I don't see why it is a problem if someone does it too" I replied.

"I'm taking you home Sara. It is Dad's orders" Alex said before walking out of the room with Asher and Chris behind him.

I walked behind them to the parking lot. Alex sat at the driver seat and Chris sat on the front.

"This is not fair man!" Asher whined and I laughed under my breath. Asher sent me a glare before reluctantly sliding to the back seat with me right behind him.

Alex started driving while bursting loud music. Damn boys!

Asher came closer to me and I gave him a look that said 'what do you want'. "Can I ask you a question?" He said quietly. "You already did" I replied. "Come on I'm serious" he chuckled. I've never had a normal conversation with him so I nodded wanting to see where this will go.

"Why didn't you tell Mr Dante that Alex did that? You know if you did he will tell him to stop right?" He asked curiosity swimming in his eyes.

"If Alex want to do something he will do it anyways. Plus, I didn't want to ruin his relationship with his father" I replied honestly.

"You are too naive Sara" he replies leaning back at the seat and laughing slightly.

I didn't answer. I am in fact naive. We arrived to the house and I was the first to get out of the car.

I walk to the front door and opened it with the spare key Mr Dante gave me. I walked quickly to my room and closed the door behind me.

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ [SELF HARM].

I sat on my bed throwing my phone infront of me. I kept staring at it as my hand ached to take it.

I can practically see the metal blade through the cover. My thoughts got the best of me as I took it and take metal blade out.

I scrape the cold metal against my wrist. One after another. Feeling the knot I'm my chest starting to release with each scrape.

I watch as the warm red liquid trickles down my wrist. Why me? Why does I always have to make people lives worst? Why just why?

One tear fall and suddenly it becomes a waterfall. But I don't try to stop it. I don't even attempt to blink them away.

I don't have the energy.

Wh0re.

Sl*t.

Killer.

Father words keep replying in my head.

I take the razor blade and set it against my skin again. I sigh as I slide it across my bare skin blood pouring out the wound staining my hoodie.

End⚠️

I let out a huge breathe as I walk to the bathroom sink to wash the blood.

The cold water sting my now red wrists. I bite my lip trying not to choke on the tears. I pull of my now stained hoodie.

I look at myself in the mirror. Of course he doesn't want me as his long lost sister. I mean look at me!

I weigh less than what a 15 year old should! My dad was an alcoholic abuser. And I was the reason my mother died.

Who would like me as their sister?

The door knocked pulling me off my thoughts.

"Get in" I yelled from the bathroom putting over a new hoodie.

I come out the bathroom to find Chris standing on my door way. "The food is here" he said looking at me awkwardly.

"Okay I'll be right there" I replied forcing a smile on my face. "Can we um talk" he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"You don't have to talk so carefully with me Chris" I said, chuckling, taking a seat on my bed and patting the spot next to me.

He came and sat down. "Where you crying?" He asked carefully. "No I weren't is this what you wanted to ask?" I lied through my teeth.

"No. Umm why didn't you say it was Alex ? Not that I want you to do but it was gonna make your life way easier" he asked and I laughed. They are really the same .

"I don't snitch Chris. That's lame. Plus if he wanted to he will do it. And do you really think Mr Dante will believe me over his own son" I said truthfully. He will probably call me a liar and then get mad.

Chris laughed under his breath. "You are just like her" he said under his breath. "Huh?" I asked.

"Uh nothing. He would probably do yes"Chris replied and I looked at him baffled. "You are delusional Chris" I replied"

"You don't know Mr Carter Sara. He is different" he said and I rolled my eyes. No one is different.

He stood up and motioned for me to get up. "Let's go the food is here" he said exiting my room with me close behind him.

We walk down stairs to find Alex and Asher playing video games with boxes of pizza infront of them.

"Took you guys long enough" Alex said to us.

We just ignored and each took a seat. "You are going to eat no excuses it is Dad's orders" Alex said handing me a plate filed with pizza.

And I mean like four or five whole slices. I looked at him and chuckled. "Oh you are softening Alex " I said to him and Asher and Chris chuckled.

"I am not!" He answered looking away. "Ohh yes you are" I chuckled again.

And he turned to me anger obvious in his face. "I don't wanna befriend you Sara just eat your damn food and go to your room or something. No one want you in this house you are already bringing trouble" he stated and suddenly the room atmosphere changed. I just looked at him not knowing what to say.

He is probably right. He is right. I already brought enough trouble by fighting in school and I just had to faint.

"You just had to punch that girl didn't you!" He continued anger and annoyance lacing his voice.

"Well you know what Alex. I tried being nice but you are just a jerk! Plain and simple" I started standing up and coming face to face with him.

"Guys relax!" Said Asher sternly.

"Yeah just stop!" Chris argued.

"You want me out of your life, well guess what? I want that too. I don't want to be here too! You can have your damn food I don't want it" I said shoving the plate to his hand and going upstairs to my room.

"So you are just gonna abandon eating because the truth hurt you!" He screamed behind me but I was already up the stairs.

I entered my room grabbed my phone and bag and headed beck downstairs. "Where are you going ?" Alex asked annoyed.

"None of your business" I snapped back.

I wore my coat and headed to the door. I opened the door but it was slammed back.

"You are not going anywhere. Sit back down Now!" Alex ordered. I scoffed. Who does he think he is?

"I will not you don't have the authority to order me, Alex!" I snapped back.

"Yes I'm your big brother and I'm ordering you to sit your ass down and eat you damn food!" He screamed and I barked a laugh.

"So now I'm your sister! Now I'm your sister Alex! Well make me because unless you do I'm not staying in here for another damn second" I screamed back opening the door and leaving.

I walked away. I don't know where just walked.

He is right. I'm nothing but trouble.

I started running. I started running out of nowhere. I kept running. And running.

I couldn't hear the voices around me. Not the cars, not the people, nothing. It was just me and my thoughts.

So I kept running it made me feel free. Like I don't have any problems. Like my supposed parents aren't dead. Like my real brother hates my guts.

I was pulled from my thoughts with the loud sound of horns. I stopped in my tracks, my head snapping to the side. And the next thing I know, I was greeted with a speeding car.

It came speeding, and the last thing I know is the sounds of people screaming and cars.
