My eyes flutter open to reveal my room in front of me. Why arnt i dead..?

A soft knock is placed on my door before it opens revealing emma with a cup of something hot due to the steam coming out the top

"your awake" she smiles softly before coming to sit next to me, handing me the cup of what smells like hot chocolate. I nod and take the mug from me settling it in my lap

"yep" I nearly even whisper popping the 'p'. Emma gives me a sympathetic smile before getting up and walking towards the door

"ill come back with some fruit salad" she says and i nod as she retreats me room

I look back at my bedside table to see a brand new frame around the photo of Noah and I. The photo with slightly ripped around the edges and in the middle but you could still see how much love we shared

Love

My eyes shoot to my wrist where it's neatly wrapped in a white bandage. Who wrapped it?

"I can't even kill myself right" I grumble to myself stroking the top of the bandage with my knuckle, seeing the dark red blood barely visable through the bandage meaning it was wrapped while the blood was still fresh

"here we are" Emma says as she enters my room, placing a bowl of fruit salad mixed with some salad. She squats beside my bed and places her hand on top of mine, rubbing the top of my hand with her thumb

I smile at her gradually as she does so, knowing she's the one who wrapped my cuts. She smiles back with a friendly yet caring manner

Jade walks through my door way, looking down at her phone

"hey em, alex wants to know if nicky is awa-" she looks up and sees me, immediately rushing to my side "your awake" she whispers embracing me with a hug

"yeah" I barely even whisper as she pulls back "umm if you don't mind me asking, why are you two in my house..."

"three nights ago, alex found you pasted out in your shower with four very deep cuts on your errr wrist, he immediately called us and went to go find noah, when noah couldn't be reached or found we came over here and having been looking after you since" Emma explains. Just as I'm about to ask where my dad is jade reads my mind

"your dad went on a business trip to australia and your mum went with him. he left multiple messages on your phone says when they were leaving, why, and when they will be back which is in about two weeks, your brother had to take care of some stuff back in new york and said he'd be back in about a week or so" Jade says as to which I nod

"errr umm where is noah?" I ask and they both look down

"alex texted him a thousand times about the situation your in and noahs just left him on seen, no one knows where he is. he hasn't been at school for the last two days either" Emma adds as I nod, understanding he probably wants nothing to do with me anymore

Emma picks up the frame to the photo of Noah and I and sighs

"i found this shattered in pieces when I got here, I thought maybe if you broke it something happened between you to" she says bringing tears to my eyes

He doesn't like you anymore

"it's okay, i don't want it" I say, sniffling and sitting up trying to pretend i don't care. All I can think about is what happened at the party

His eyes darkened into hers and the next thing you know, their lips are on eachothers

Tears I didn't know were there start falling down my cheeks. Emma passes her hand on my back and rubs it, soothingly
