Harper sits there reading the letter. Tears falling down onto the page. Her hands shake making it hard to read the words on the page. She places the letter down and walks into the common room
"Harper?" Dawson says as they all turn their attention to Harper
"We spend everyday saving lives, from pulling an 8 year old out of a fire to saving a 30 year old man from killing himself!" Harper says as a tear rolls from her face and onto the floor
51 look at her confused
"But we don't know who's really struggling, even when it's right under our noses" Harper shouts
"What's going on Bailey?" Casey asks
"Kelly wants to die! Kelly's wanted to die for a while now! He felt that low and nobody was helping him! Not me, Casey, Dawson or god anyone! He wrote everyone goodbye letters! He had planned for Casey to walk his little girls down the aisle!" Harper yells whilst sobbing
"Harper" Dawson says as she looks at everyone
Casey walks up to her and gives her a hug
"I can't loose him Matt! I can't walk into my home one day and see him lying dead! I can't raise 4 kids on my own!" Harper shouts as she sobs and falls onto her knees with Casey's arms still around her
"I know, it'll be okay" Matt whispers
*At the hospital*
"Are you okay?" Daniel asks as he walks in to see Kelly in tears looking out his window
"I'm fine" Kelly replies bluntly
"Are you-" Daniel says as Kelly cuts him off
"Aside from the not sleeping, The jumpiness, the constant overwhelming fear that something bad's going to happen!" Kelly shouts
"We get it" Daniel adds as he sits down
"You don't get it! Being the constant disappointment! Who can't visit his wife in the hospital! Who was that selfish to actually think about killing himself! I don't deserve to be here okay? I don't deserve to breath! I don't deserve to be a captain! There's innocent people out there dying and for what? I could die instead of them! No one would notice I'm gone!" Kelly shouts as he starts to shake
"Kelly, deep breaths" Daniel says calmly
"No I'm done! Okay? I'm fucking done! Give me my pills! Please!" Kelly says with his voice starting to break due to the crying overwhelming his body
"You know I can't do that Kelly" Daniel says softly
"I need them! There my step closer to being in a grave!" Kelly shouts as he hears a knock at the door
Dr.Charles opens it and Harper walks in
"Kelly" Harper says with tears in her eyes
"Harper" Kelly says as Dr.Charles walks out
Harper sits next to Kelly
"I want to die! Please Harper! Let me die" Kelly shouts whilst sobbing
"I know honey, I'm sorry" Harper says as her heart breaks
"Please! Let me go!" Kelly shouts as he falls into Harper's arms, sobbing into her chest...
