14 ALIZY'S MISERABLE CONDITION

Jack left Andy's house.

In the evening, Andy called Jack.

"Hey, Jack, I think we should be with Alizy, I am leaving for her house, I want you to join me and call Kevin and Stella as well", Andy said.

"I will not come, I can't see her like this, it hurts to see one's friend in such condition", Jack said.

"Jack! When you got sick, she used to take care of you, didn't she?" Andy questioned.

"I will try my best to come", Jack said and disconnected the call.

Someone knocked at Alizy's door, her mom opened the door.

"Hy, Aunt Helen, I just came to see Alizy", Andy said.

"Come in child, she is in her room", Helen replied.

Andy went upstairs, and he heard as if Alizy were talking to someone.

He knocked at the door, and saw Jack was there, he was holding a bowl of oatmeal and was trying to feed her. Andy looked at Jack with a lovely smile.

"How are you doing, young lady?" Andy asked Alizy.

She looked at him with a disturbing smile and went on talking to Jack.

"And then I saw the dead body of my father, there was blood all over him, and I, and I, I went there in the ground and, and saw that, that my, my mom Helen, she was laying on the ground, and, and she was dead as well, and, and then I saw that", she kept on saying.

"Oh, so sad, now open your mouth", Jack requested.

"No! listen to me first, then I saw that." Alizy again tried to say something.

"No, I will not listen to you anymore", Jack said.

"Okay, I will eat", Alizy said and opened her mouth.

Andy was looking at them from a distance and was thinking that how miserable Alizy is. When Alizy has done eating the meal, Andy asked Jack to let her take some rest.

Both the boys came outside and turned the lights off.

"I asked you to call Kevin and Stella as well!" Andy said.

"Don't you have their numbers?" Jack replied.

"Why you are being so rude?" Andy asked calmly.

"I am sorry, I am just disturbed, I cannot see her like this, you know what is the interesting thing, when she used to talk like a normal human, I never bother to listen to her, but now when she is talking senselessly, I just love to listen to every word of her," Jack said with pain.

They were standing outside Alizy's room, and they heard her screaming.

Andy immediately opened the door, and both went inside, it was dark inside there, they just heard the sound of screaming Alizy, she was saying,

"Save me! Save me! He is coming to kill me! Ah, he killed my mom, please save me!!"

Jack turned the lights on, Andy ran towards Alizy who was sitting on the floor and asked,

"What happened? There is no one around you!" Andy tried to calm her.

"No, no, no, look he is standing behind you he will kill me, please help me", she cried so hard.

Her mom came upstairs and hugged her.

"Alizy, my princess, there is no one!" Helen said.

"Please help me!" she kept on screaming.

Jack sat with her, held her face, and said, "Alizy, I know he is there to kill you, even I can see him".

Alizy stopped screaming and started looking at Jack with hope.

"Look, if he tried to touch you, I will kill him", Jack said, and Alizy started laughing and clapping.

"You know how to calm her!" Andy said.

"Maybe", Jack replied. Helen left the room.

Andy and Jack were talking to each other when Andy noticed that Alizy was pulling her hair, she held a hair, and tried to pull it out from her scalp, she was even trying to pull her eyebrows.

"Alizy! What happened sweetheart?" Jack asked soon after noticing.

"They are irritating me", she replied and kept on pulling them.

"She has gone mad!" Jack said furiously and held both hands.

"Leave me! Leave me!!" Alizy yelled.

"Just shut up!" Jack shouted.

"Jack my mom is downstairs let me call her here", Andy replied, jack was holding Alizy's hand when Dr. Kylie entered.

"Jack! leave her!" she ordered, Alizy again started pulling her hair. In the room, there were Alizy's mom and dad as well.

"I am surprised, she is also suffering from Trichotillomania!" Dr. Kylie said.

"What is that?" Helen asked anxiously.

"Hair pulling disorder, and it is similar to OCD, by pulling her hair, she tries to deal with her stress," Kylie replied.

"Why she is behaving so weirdly?" Jack asked Dr. Kylie.

"She is just stressed!" Dr, Kylie replied.

"But why?" Jack questioned again.

"I can't say anything, I need to start therapy to find the reason", she replied.

"Mom! She even said that someone is attacking her, beating her and she even asked us to save her", Andy said.

"My dear, that is something confusing that how she can suffer from multiple disorders at one time", Dr. Kylie replied, then looked at her worried face of Helen and said, "Bring her to my hospital tomorrow, I will start the therapy".

Everyone left the house, looking at the present state of Alizy her mom asked her to sleep with her.

At night, she woke up and went into the bathroom, looked into the mirror, and said, "How ugly I am!" And started pulling her hair out.

It was 2 am when Helen woke up and found that Alizy was not in bed. She stood up and knocked at the door of the bathroom.

"Alizy! Are you inside?" she asked.

There was no response. She kept on knocking until Alizy opened the door, her mother looked at her face and screamed so loudly. She was bald, her scalp was covered with blood, there was not even a single hair on her scalp, she even pulled hair from her eyebrows and she was bleeding badly.

"You crazy! Why?" Helen was unable to control her emotions, and her father was not at home.

"I hate myself! I hate my skin, my hair, I just hate every inch of mine!" Alizy cried.

Her mother managed to calm her, put a bandage all over her head, gave her a painkiller, and asked her to take a rest, she went into the bathroom and was scared to see hair all over there.

Early in the morning, her mother woke up, her phone was ringing.

"Hey, Helen?" Kylie asked.

"Yes!" Helen replied.

"I am going to the hospital and will take Alizy with me!" she said. Helen looked at the other side of the bed and found that Alizy was not there.

"Helen?" Kylie called.

"I am listening, wait" Helen replied and called Alizy.

"Kylie, I think she is in her room, I am going to wake her up", Helen replied and disconnected the call.

Helen was going upstairs when she heard the sound of the doorbell. She went to open the door it was Jack.

"Hey, Aunt Helen, I just want to know if Alizy is fine?" Jack asked.

"Come inside dear", Helen replied.

"I asked her to sleep in my room, but she is not there, I was going upstairs, you can come with me", Helen said and Jack started following her.

Helen opened the room, the lights were off, and it was hard to see anything, she turned the lights on, and the thing she saw was heartbreaking.

Alizy's body was hanging from the fan, she committed suicide.

Alizy's mom was about to fall when Jack held her. Helen called the ambulance, before the ambulance, Kylie arrived and was shocked to see what happened.

Soon ambulance came and took Alizy's body with them, Helen and Kylie went to the hospital with the body of Alizy.

Jack was still standing in Alizy's room, he was unable to believe what he saw.

"No, no, no! you cannot die like this!" he yelled while looking at the fan.
