I burst into her room, and my world came crashing down. Mum lay motionless on the floor, surrounded by shards of broken glass. I sa5 a piece of the bottle,I quickly recognized it as the one containing the chemical meant for killing rodents. A wave of horror washed over me.
"No! No! No! No! No!" I screamed, tears running down my face.
I dropped to my knees beside her. "Mum, get up! Please, wake up!" I begged, shaking her lifeless body.
I then checked her pulse, but there was nothing. She wasn't breathing. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair.
"Nooooo!" I wailed, clutching her body to mine. "Mum, please don't leave me! Not like Daddy did three years ago! Please mom, wake up!"
In a desperate, grief-stricken moment, I spotted a sharp piece of glass on the floor. Without thinking, I picked it up and sliced my vein, feeling the warm blood gush out. "If mom leaves, I too", I thought deep within.
Just as I felt myself fading away, I heard a voice behind me.
"Alesther, no!" David exclaimed, rushing towards me, catching my already failing body just before I could reach the ground.
I looked up, my vision blurring, and saw David's face filled with worry,and just Then, everything went black.
David's POV
As I walked up the path to Alesther's house, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. I had been away for three months, working on a research project in Shanghai, and I had missed her terribly. I had always had feelings for her, but I had never mustered the courage to tell her.
As I approached the house, I saw the front door wide open, was there a robber here, I wondered within. With great concern, I ran into the house,just then, I heard a faint cry. My heart skipped a beat.
I rushed towards the sound. I burst through the front door and ran upstairs, my mind racing with worst-case scenarios.
I reached Alesther's mom's room just in time to see Alesther slumping to the ground, her wrist sliced open. I lunged forward, catching her in mid-air before she hit the ground.
"Alesther, no!" I exclaimed, holding her tightly as I applied pressure to her wound. She was limp in my arms, her eyes closed.
I quickly scanned the room, taking in the scene. Alesther's mom lay motionless on the floor, a broken glass bottle nearby. I felt a wave of anger and sadness wash over me.
Without hesitation, I scooped Alesther up in my arms and rushed downstairs, careful not to jostle her. I grabbed my phone and dialed 911 as I rushed out of the house.
As I waited for the ambulance to arrive, I held Alesther close, trying to comfort and revive her. She was still unconscious, but I could feel her heartbeat, and that gave me hope.
The ambulance arrived quickly, and the paramedics rushed over to take Alesther from me, also taking her mom along. I rode with her to the hospital, holding her hand and talking to her, even though she couldn't respond.
As we arrived at the hospital, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. Alesther was going to be okay. She had to be.
I sat in the waiting room, my mind racing with thoughts and emotions. I had always loved Alesther, but now, I felt a deeper connection to her. I was determined to be there for her, to support her through this difficult time.
As I waited for news from the doctor, I couldn't help but think about the future. I knew that Alesther would need time to grieve, to heal. But I was willing to wait, to be patient. I would do anything to make her happy, to help her through this difficult time.
