Nikki's POV
I watched in horror as my best friend, someone I've known for four years, was hauled onto a stretcher.
But that's all I saw.
I couldn't bare to look at him for any longer.
Neil was crying as well.
I didn't know what to do.
We didn't know what to do.

Gwen's POV
I was still kinda weirded out from what max did this morning.
He literally never hugs me, or anyone for that matter.
And when he leaves he just leaves, he never bothers to say goodbye.
I was currently at work.
That's when, the phone started ringing.
My phone, I looked at who was calling, an unknown number.
I just assumed it was just some spam caller, but then looked at where the call was coming from.
This town.
I picked it up.
"Hello is this Gwen?"
I said yes.
"You are Max's foster parent correct?"
I sighed, he must have done something illegal.
Another yes.
But what they said next made me drop my phone.
"He is currently in the hospital from what we believe is a suicide attempt."
W-what? No, he couldn't.
They must have the wrong number.
But then, no they said it was max.
They asked if I was his foster parent.
I started hyperventilating.
No no no no nonononono.
David must have gotten the same call.
He wouldn't have taken this well.
I started silently crying.
I shakily picked the phone back up.
"I-is he okay? What hospital is he in?"
They answered almost immediately.
"We don't know his current state but he's at (sorry just insert a name here) hospital."
I almost immediately got up and raced into my car.
I didn't bother to check out of work.
I got in my car and drove as fast as I could.
My hands were shaking heavily the whole way.

Nikki's POV
eventually the school caught on to what had happened.
We all got to go home for the day.
I needed to see max, I needed to know that he was okay.
Me and Neil stayed at the school. 
We both walked to the office to see if they know what hospital he was in.
They actually did, and told us.
I know where that hospital was.
But it wasn't within walking distance.
My mom wasn't home but Neil's dad was.
"C-can we just go to your house and get your dad to drive us?"
He nodded and we ran.
I just needed to see him, see that he was okay.
I knew he was okay, he had to be.
I dont know what I would do if he wasn't.
