TRIGGER WARNING : MENTION OF SUICIDE

The water was flowing in the bathtub as I was counting the pills that were in the bottle.

When I finished counting them I just waited for the bathtub to be full.

I went to lock the door in case someone came in.

When everything was ready, I entered in the bathtub and grabbed the pills in my left hand.
I swallowed them all and laid my head waiting for them to do their work.

" Ava, it's Maria. Are you in here ? " I heard.

I didn't answer. I kept looking at the ceiling.

" Ava, please open this door. "  She begged.

I felt my self slowly falling deeper in the water.

Hunter Montgomery

I was sitting on my bed playing guitar when my phone started buzzing.

" Hello ? " I answered.

" Hunter, I swear to God you better come fix what you''ve done before I fucking kill you ! " She screamed.

She was crying. Why the hell was she crying ?

" Are you crying ? " I asked.

" No shit, Sherlock ! My best friend locked herself in the bathroom and doesn't answer, do you expect me to be happy ? "

My heart dropped.

" Maria, stay where you are, I'm coming. " I told her.

I ran as fast as possible to her house. I didn't try to call for Ava when I arrived behind the door. I hit the door several times with shoulder until it gave up.

When I entered the room I saw Ava in her bathtub, her nose almost under the water.

I got her out of it and looked everywhere around me.

I saw an empty pill bottle and I started panicking.

" Maria, call 911, now ! " I screamed.

As Maria was getting help I pulled Ava's body to the toilet and started to make her throw up. She was half conscious.

When I was sure she had gotten everything out of her body I laid her head on my legs and tried to keep her awake.

" Ava, please don't leave me. Stay awake, baby, stay awake. " I said while holding her face.

" Ava, please don't leave me, you can't leave me. "

As she started t close her eyes I kept talking to her.

" Ava, don't you dare give, keep your eyes open. " I screamed as the treats were streaming down my face.

" I'm just gonna sleep a little. "

Those were the only words she said.
