Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.

Chapter 78 - I Thought I Buried You

Oli's POV

The nursery was dark, only a tiny night light was lighting up the corner of the room. I held Sienna close to my chest and tried not to think about Rain. But maybe I should have let her. Let her get rid of my own daughter.

She gurgled below me. Her eyes searched around in the darkness.

"Sienna." I whispered over her. "Your mommy didn't want you alive... But I saved you."

I could hear a small dispute coming from the hallway. Rain was dramatically mumbling to Anthony and begging him to let her leave. My heart sank. Not only did she want to get rid of Sienna, but she wanted to get rid of me too. And Hanley. And everything we had. Five years meant nothing to her now. She was reckless.

Shadows disturbed the light and caused it to splash in and out of the gap between the door and the frame. They were coming closer now, and I held Sienna tightly to my chest for protection.

"Why would you want to leave? Where are you going to go!? You've got a baby to look after! And a son! You need a reality check, Rain!" Anthony was raising his voice.

She didn't reply.

I crept towards the door and watched her now. Her skinny body was pacing back and forth in the hall, her hair covering her face and her hand over her mouth. She had silenced herself.

"Answer me..." Anthony called out to her, desperate. "Why do you want to leave!?"

She turned her head and noticed that I was watching. And she finally spoke. And it broke my heart.

"I want to leave because... the day I tried to kill myself, I thought I knew what it was to suffer. To be ignored and to be forced. And now, I think I truly know what it's like to suffer."

Notes

Is she heartless? Or is she trying to defend herself?

Anyone who is reading this, I'm actually the writer of this story, I just deleted my tumblr account that was linked to this a while ago. I wrote this years and years ago, and I think it's pretty poorly written at the start, so apologies lmao. But anyway, I made a new account, I'm older now so my writing has gotten better, I'm taking English as an A level too so everything is good. I'm in the process of writing something new, but I'm totally annoyed with the lack of views it's getting. It's got a kind of similar story involving drugs and pregnancy and stuff so check it out? <3 Its called "On The Vacant Canvas, We Should Be Waiting", and I've based some parts of the story ie. drugs and fights etc. on experiences that actually happened to me and my friends so it's quite a personal story, as I think it should be.

I just want to let you know, I stated until 6:03 in the morning, reading the ever loving fuck out of this. This story is amazin . First of all, this story spans over years, not months or days like most storie . Second of all, I have a real connection with both Oli and Rain (which is one of the character names in my story, too!!!). I struggle with self harm, alcohol, and drug abuse, and this chapter really connected with me especially. Whatever you're going through, I've never met you, but I believe in you. I'm proud that you're five (or more) days sober, and you definitely better keep it up. You're a strong person, and it's really awesome that you're doing good and writing an amazing story while you're at. Stay beautiful my lovely creature!!
