Author: Stars
One night, I was jolted awake by a loud argument outside my door.

"Maynard, Patricia is in deep depression and could try to kill herself at any moment. If you don't get her treatment and just lock her away in that dark room, she's going to lose her mind."

It was Derek's voice. He was probably trying to see me, but Maynard was keeping him out.

I ignored their fight and tried to fall back asleep.

But Maynard's hysterical voice shattered any chance I had of falling back asleep.

"I know, I know... but the doctor said her depression is because of me. To get better, she has to forget me. How can I let her go? How can I let Patricia leave me?"

I couldn't make out what they were saying after that because the sounds of their fight and things breaking drowned everything out.

    I had died, but my soul still lingered in this world.I saw Waldo's face, smudged with dirt and tight with panic, as he turned to Derek. "Mr. Grant, where's my mom?"When Derek made it back up the cliff alone, Waldo's eyes darted everywhere. But he didn't see me anywhere.Fear gripped his small frame until he finally screamed. His voice was raw. "Where's my mom? Why didn't she come up? I want my mom! I want her!" His cries echoed through the canyon, heartbreaking and loud.Derek's face had gone pale, like the strength had been completely drained from his body. He collapsed to his knees in silence.On the other hand, Maynard didn't even spare me a glance. He insisted I was faking it again—just another tantrum to get attention."Patricia, stop hiding. I've had enough of your childish games. Come out! We're going home."But I would never respond again. Because this time, I was truly gone.Derek was teetering on the edge of a breakdown. His face was pale and hollow. He muttered l

    Maybe Maynard thought I would get bored being locked in alone, because he started sending Waldo to keep me company.Waldo's attitude had completely shifted. He brought all his toys and snacks into my room like he was trying to win me over.He said, "Mom, this is my favorite cake. I saved it just for you."And here's my game console. You didn't let me play games too much, so I'm giving them to you. Please smile, okay? You used to love me the most."Mom…" His rambling grated on my nerves until I snapped. "Shut up! Who told you I'm your mother?"I grabbed the snacks he handed me and threw them on the floor. Crushed chips were scattered everywhere.Waldo looked at me with panic in his eyes. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he cried out, "No, you're my mom. You're the only mom I have!"His wailing echoed through every corner of the room, turning the silence into chaos. All I wanted was some peace, but Maynard had to bring that little troublemaker into my room."Shut up!" I roared

    Maybe fate was just mocking me. Instead of landing on the pitchfork, I fell into the bushes. The impact was cushioned, and somehow, I survived.They rushed me to the hospital, and I was brought back from the edge.After several suicide attempts and a signed diagnosis confirming severe depression, Maynard finally believed I wasn't just seeking attention. I was truly sick.To stop me from trying again, he locked me inside the bedroom.Every sharp object in the house was removed. Even the sharp corners of tables and chairs were filed down. I lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. I felt hollow and lifeless. How could dying be this hard?I walked over to the window, my gaze falling on what used to be a vibrant garden. Once, it bloomed with roses—my favorite. But Maynard had burned them all down after Darlene pricked her finger on a thorn.I scanned the room, searching for something I could use to smash the window and escape.That was when the door creaked open.Footsteps
