CHAPTER NINETEEN
Margot didn’t stop crying as Jace nuzzled her back. We are here in a hotel room and we are with Phoenix and Hailey. The party is over and no one knows where Dylan and Maggie are. I tried to follow them but they suddenly disappeared.
“Margot, we’re clueless, is there something wrong with Maggie?” Dane asked.
“Yeah Margot, your sister seemed crazy earlier,” Jace said.
“What happened, Margot? Share with us. We are now like a family. You are important to us,” Dane tried to convince her but she didn’t speak. Hailey comes and holds her hand. She looked at it and it smiled at her.
“I grew up alone and I have no ally because I am aloof from everyone. So I say to myself when I have friends who are true to me. I will share with them my life. My happiness and my sadness. I will include them in my future but before that, I’ll take them to my past so they can get to know me.” Then she fixed Margot’s hair.
“I am thankful because my husband introduced me to you. Even though I rarely meet you, I know you are there for us, for me. And now that we are together in this friendship. Expect us to be with you we’re in all your troubles. ”
“Hailey.”
“We will not take you away from your sister. We will sympathize with you, we will take care of and love her as well as you.” Margot looks at us one by one. She also tightened the grip on Hailey’s hand.
“When mom’s die Maggie suffered from depression. She became suicidal,” she began and tightened her grip on Hailey’s hand even more.
“What?”
“When she recovers everything is back to normal. But when she and Khairo separate, it turns into a psychiatric problem. She seems to be losing her sanity, but not in a way that makes her hopeless, or lonely. But in a way that makes her aggressive. She’s becoming a war freak. She fights everyone. There was this one student who called her crazy and she broke a glass on her head. ”
“You know now, Jace?” Phoenix teased him.
“He’s not crazy but a psycho,” Jace responded.
“When she was ok, she became competitive, attention seeker, she wanted to be the star, that everyone praised her. It’s like that’s where she’s recovering. She’s feeling that way she can say that someone needs her, that she’s someone special. Though she still has a warfreak attitude, if you praise her, you mean a lot to her. And now, she turned to what she was. It’s even worse because she’s already taking drugs.”
“Margot,” I called her.
“It’s not your fault, Blaze. There’s no one to blame. The doctor said maybe a genetic or hereditary one that she got from our mom.”
“Maggie, I hope you don’t mind, what is the reason for your mom’s death?” Dane asked. I also want to ask that, but I have no guts to ask.
“She committed suicide.” We all have the same reaction. Speechless.
“The night before she dies, Maggie called her useless, shame, because Maggie blames her for why dad left us. Mom was addicted to alcohol and that’s what Maggie thinks is the reason why daddy left because they were always fighting. But when she goes to school, it’s mother’s day. The teacher told them to reminisce about their relationship with their mom and she realized everything. She bought flowers to reconcile with mom, but when she enters the room, she saw mom hanging herself. She was the first to find out what happened to mom.”
“What the fuck.”
“Holy shit.”
“Fuck.”
“Shit.”
“Margot, I am sorry.”
“No, Dane, I’m ok. I already accepted my mother’s fate. But not Maggie. She blamed herself for what she said to mom. She thought that mommy could do that because of what she said. Then she hasn’t asked sorry for it yet. She didn’t give the flowers and a card she made for her. That’s where her guilt started, the regrets. And you know what shit really happens now? ”
Everyone looks at her waited for her next story.
“The night that you leave her, Blaze. That day she met dad.” She already told me that. I even told her that she deserved what was happening to her and told her hurtful words.
“It turned out that mom got drunk then because daddy had a different family. That dad never loved her so mommy was like that. Dad said that he doesn’t need us anymore. He even said that he doesn’t want to have a child and mom is the only wants to have children so we were formed. All we know was all lies. We thought that’s why dad left because of mom’s drunkenness but that’s why mom did that because of him. All the fun we remembered at Paloma when we were young is just a lie.”
“Margot,” Jace caressed her back.
“Now I’m a fool because I blamed her that it was her fault what happened to Mom. The doctor told me, never to give her any reason to blame herself but what did I do? The doctor said that not anyone can manage themselves when it comes to regrets and guilt. And Maggie is one of those people who can’t handle her guilt.”
“Margot, I’m sorry. I don’t know anything. It all started because of what happened to us.” What can my sorry do? Will I be able to recover what I told her?
“I don’t want to blame you, no one wants it.”
I messed up my hair because of what I heard from Margot. Should I blame myself? Was Dane right when she would have said I didn’t make the situation worse? I hope I arranged and we got along first? Hopefully, before I react we talked first?
I admit it or not but it wouldn’t have gotten worse like this if I had listened to her that night and we fixed the problem. Can we still go back to the past? Can I still get Maggie back from Dylan? Fuck, I don’t care about Khairo or Dylan or what else they did. I want her back but how? What will I do?
Dane’s cellphone rang and she frowned before answering.
“Yes?” “What?” “Which hospital?” “Ok, we’re on our way.” She ended the call and look at us.
“Who is that?” Zeus asked.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“It’s Dylan. He brought Maggie to Happy Smile Hospital.”
“What happened?” Margot asked.
“She hit his car on the pole.”
