The Bucket

Adrian

I cannot believe I accused Ellie falsely. I let Ellie be dragged by those officers. She begged me to listen to her. She begged me to not let them take her. She tried to tell me she was innocent. She tried to tell me. I was clouded.

And now I am seated here in a hospital, looking at her pale body. She looks like she has not eaten for a long time. The detective told me that she almost drowned. She had refused to eat and had tried to drown herself with water in a bucket in her small bathroom in her room. The guard was lucky to have found her when he did and rushed her to hospital. She almost killed herself because of me. I almost lost her too.

I had tried to see her in the morning but Reina had not allowed me to. She shouted and kept on reminding me that I was the reason she almost lost her best friend. It is true though. I should not have treated her as I did. I should have listened to her.

I was only able to see her when Reina finally left to freshen up. She seems so peaceful
