Lena
"No,Z. I don't think you understand. I swore that it would never happen again. He doesn't trust me. He won't ever trust me again."
"Lena,you aren't listening to me." Zack said.
"Hey Zack.. Jack is here... He wants a minute." Alex said, opening the door.
"Don't leave me, Zack." I said.
"You can't hide from him forever."
"I can try."
"L.."
"Fine Z. He can come. Doesn't mean I'll talk."
Zack left the room and Jack came in.
"Lena." He sighed.
I didn't even look at him.
"Look at me."
"I can't."
"Jesus Lena LOOK AT ME!"He yelled.
"Please don't yell."
"YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE!"
"I WAS ALONE JACK! DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT? THAT WAS MY ONLY OPTION!"
"IT'S NEVER YOUR ONLY OPTION! DEATH IS NOT THE OPTION YOU CHOOSE!"
"GET OUT! YOU DON'T RUN MY LIFE, JACK!"
He turned on his heel and stormed out.
Before he closed the door, I heard Alex.
"You don't need to ye-" But he was cut off by the door closing.
"I didn't actually mean leave..."I muttered.
"L..."Zack said as he came in.
"I want Alex." I said, trying to hold the tears back. He nodded.
Alex
"Maybe you should leave for a while Jack... Just until you calm down. She doesn't need to be yelled at." I said. He nodded and left.
"She wants you."Zack said.
"Okay.You can head home if you want. I'll text you later on."
"Thanks Alex."He said and then he left as well.
I knocked lightly on the door before entering.
"Hey sweetheart."
"Hi."She answered.
"Are you okay?"
"Do I look okay?"She snapped.
"Len..I know you're hurt... But I need you to help me... Please talk to me."
"I don't want to talk."
"I know you do... Maybe not to me but you do."
"He hates me. He's my best friend... He's like a big brother... And he absolutely hates me."
"That's not true, sweetie."
"The worst part is is that I don't feel any better. I feel like... Like..."
"Like what?"
"Nothing.."
"Lena.Like what."
"Don't worry about it."
"Tell me. Right. Now."
"Like maybe if I die right now he wouldn't care."
"Is that what you want? You still want to die?" I didn't give her time to answer. I left and found the doctor. I told her what she said.
"Sir... She needs to be sent off."
"Anything... I need her better."
He told me to go back to her.
Jack
I went for a walk to clear my head.
I need to calm down. She needs me.
You have every right to be mad. She swore.
But right now is not the time to yell..
My phone dinged.
Alex:hey.. She's really upset... And the doc says she needs to be sent off.
Jack:I'm so sorry man.. I shouldn't have been like that.
Alex:can you come back?
Jack:i guess.. :-/
I turned around and started heading back to the hospital.
When I got up to the fourth floor, Alex and the doctor were outside of her room talking.
"-months. She's not in a stable condition at all." The doctor said.
"Will they actually help her?" Alex asked.
"Yes sir they will."
"How long did you say?" I asked.
"Maybe 8 months. Hopefully." The doctor said.
I nodded and sat down in a chair by the door. When the doctor left Alex crouched on front of me.
"Hey man... Are you okay?"
"8 months is a long time Alex."
"She has to get better."
"I know."
