Troubled sister

Chapter 2

I go out the hospital and go over to drew.
"Hey" I say
"Why are you up? You have school in the morning" he says
"Nah" I say looking at the patients folder
"Yes, yes you do" he says closing it and turning to me
"I don't want to go" I say
"Not this again" he says walking over to his patient
"I can't do it anymore though. I can't concentrate, all I can do is think about them" I say pleading
"No hailey" he says
"Drew please" I say
"Hailey, I said no" he says raising his voice a little.
"But dr-" I say
"No hailey! now go back to bed!" He says almost yelling
"Someone's in a crabby mood" I say crossing my arms and going back to the break room
I've already made up my mind, I'm not going to school anymore.
I go back to the locker room and lay on one of the beds. I try my hardest to go to sleep.

*nightmare*

"I thought I told you to pick up the house?!" My dad slurs
"I-I did" I stutter
My dad has me pinned against the wall. Even though he hurts me everyday it still scares the life out of me each time.
"Why is there an empty bottle on the table?!" He yells
"Be-Because you just finished it" I say and immediately regret it
"Did you just back talk me?!" He yells and I fell a stinging sensation on my cheek
By the end of the night my head is bleeding along with my whole face.
"You are worthless! You can't do anything! That's why your brother left, he was sick of having to deal with you like your mother and I are!" He yells and he punches me in the stomach
I fall to the floor and he kicks me over and over and over again calling me horrible things.
"Hailey. Hailey. Hailey wake up!" I hear

*nightmare over*

My eyes open and I see drew leaning over me.
"You okay?" He asks worriedly
"I-I'm fine" I say sitting up wiping the tears off my face
"Another night mare?" He asks sitting next to me
"Yep" I say grabbing my phone
"Wanna talk about it?" He asks
"Do I ever wanna talk about it?" I ask
"I thought maybe you'd want to this time" he says
"If I don't have to go to school" I smirk
"Yeah right. Get ready." He says smiling
"I hate you" I say
"Hate you too" he says
I get up and get dressed. I'm not going to school today. I forbid it. I put my shoes on and grab my booksack. I pack my homework and phone up and walk out the break room.

*at school*

"Bye hails. See you later" drew says
"Bye" I grumble getting out the truck.
Once I can't see drew I start walking down the street. I can't go home because drew will be there.
I finally get to a house and I knock. No answer. I knock again. Again no answer. I knock repeatedly.
"I'm freaking coming!" I hear a man yell and I laugh
The door jolts open.
"What- hailey?" Tc asks
"Hi uncle T" I say inviting myself in
"Hailey, wh-what are you doing here?" He asks confused
"I was on a walk and decided to stop by" I say opening the refrigerator
"Aren't you supposed to be at school?" He asks
"Yeah" I say
"I'm too tired for this. Just don't get me in trouble" he says going back to his room
His door slams.
"Sorry!" He yells
My vision starts going out and is replaced by my parents.

*flashback*

*slam*
Uh oh he's ticked I think as I hear the front sort slam close.
"Hailey!" He yells
I run downstairs as fast as I can
"Yes dad?" I ask
"Where's my dinner?" He asks knowing I didn't make it
""I didn't know you wanted me to make dinner" I say scared of what's coming next
"You didn't know?! You didn't know?! You don't know anything!" He yells as his hand comes in contact with my face sending me to the ground.
"Please dad" I beg and plead as I see him pick up the lamp.
"You'd think you'd do everything you could for me since you caused your mother to walk out on us. But no, you refuse to do anything but sit in your room. You will never learn will you." He says sending the lamp at my stomach.
The lamp shatters upon contact and the pain engulfs me. Out of instinct I run for my room but my dad catches me right as I get to the top of the stairs.
"Where do you think you're going?" He creepily whispers into my ear
"N-nowhere" I say shaking
"That's what I thought" he says calmly and he throws me down the stairs.
That night ended in him taking me to the hospital.

"Dad? Hailey?" Drew says as we walk in
My whole body hurts and I feel like I'm going to pass out at any moment.
"Drew thank god; please help her!" Dad says sounding worried
He should be an actor I thought.
"What happened hailey?!" Drew asks getting me onto a bed
"I-I fell down the st-stairs" I say looking at my dad who's giving me an evil look.

*flashback over*

When I finally come to I am sitting in tc's guest bathroom; my arms are covered in blood.
"Not again" I grown as I grab a towel and wipe up my arms.
This is happening a lot more often. It used to be once a week now it's like everyday. I have a flashback and when I wake up I hurt myself. The flashbacks feel so real. I can feel the pain I felt when it happened. My mind is going crazy and I feel like I should be in a mental hospital but I can't let anyone know. I bandage my cute and open the refrigerator. I empty my booksack and instead fill it with tc's beer. I quietly leave and make my way to the woods behind Drew's house. I walk through the woods for like five minutes and finally get to an old treehouse. I found this treehouse when drew first moved in. It's in pretty good condition and I go here when I need a break. I climb the ladder and go sit along the wall. I grab a beer and start drinking my sorrows away. I notice the smallish square box I keep in there. I grab it and open it. At least 7 different pill bottles are filled with drugs. I grab some of each one and swallow them.

*drew pov*

When I finally get home from dropping hailey off I take a shower and get into bed. Rick should be home soon but I'm so tired.
*ring ring ring*
I am woken up to a ringing sound.
"Ugh" I say and grab my phone from the nightstand next to the bed.
"Hello?" I say obviously tired
"Is this mr. drew alister?" I hear a lady ask
"Yes" I say
"Hi mr. Alister this is mrs. Johnson, the principal of Jefferson high, and I was calling to inform you that hailey was not at school today and that she has been missing a lot of days recently" she says causing me to sit up
"You sure she's not there? I dropped her off this morning" I say
"No sir she wasn't. She's missed 10 days within the last month" she says
"Ten?!" I say shocked
"Yes sir. We need to schedule a conference to discuss options for attendance recovery" she says
"Okay I say

*skips phone call*

"Who was that?" Rick asks coming into the room
"Hailey's principal" I say running my hands over my face
"What they want?" He asks
"They told me that she wasn't at school today and that she's missed ten days within the last month" I say
"Ten?! She's been dropped off every day." He says sounding as shocked as I was
"Exactly" I say calling her
