I lasted an hour. Well my stomach
did, the rest of me had zoned out a while ago. I talked in the right places and
I even managed to smile and applaud with Esmee when Mia went down the slide or
trampled around on the trampoline that had been built into the floor squealing
and clapping her hands. She was beautiful and she had a life in the world. She
would marry and have children and be spectacular, I just wouldn’t see it.
“Right, I think it’s time that
we get you back to the unit.” Esmee said smiling at me, plus you look a little
pale, are you sure you’re feeling OK?”
I tried to tell her
that I was Ok. I just needed to get back to the unit then I could be sick
without them knowing. They would find out eventually of course when I became
too week to move and my liver was failing but by then it would be too late, I could
slip away but as I tried to speak the nausea became too strong and I could barely
look away from Esmee before I threw up what looked like nail polish remover
onto the floor.
“Oh honey.” Esmee said placing her hand on my back and
leaning over with me as I hurled again onto the grass, the world spinning
around me. As always she was concerned but on seeing what I was throwing up
Esmee’s voice turned
frantic. “Mi… Mi I know you have overdosed OK, I can tell by
what you are throwing up but you need to tell me what on and how many you took
Ok” Esmee said leaning over and putting her arm
around my waist as I became in danger of falling off the bench. She withdrew
her arm quickly as the blood covered her arm and her face turned even paler
than it already was. “Where are you bleeding from my honey?” Esmee asked again, I pointed at my stomach
before gagging on the nausea that flooded back up my throat; expelling more of the
pink liquid back out on the grass.“I’m going to take
your jumper off OK so I can have a look. Do you think they are bad?” I nodded as Esmee leant over and pulled my
hoodie gently up over my heavy body.
The white tee shirt underneath was completely covered in red blood that
now began to pump out faster. I groaned as Esmee sprang into action and pressed
her bare hands heavily against my tee shirt trying to stem the bleeding.
“Emmet!” Esmee yelled louder than I had ever heard her
shout before. “Emmet 999
emergency!”
