AN: I've wanted to do a Karen/Ivy story for a while. I've always thought they had a bit of a spark together, and I always liked it when they were friends rather thano enemies. Hope you enjoy. It'll be overly dramatic, as always, lol :) And thank you to thegirl20 for some kivy inspiration!
PROLOGUE
"Stay with me okay, you hear me!?"
Karen frantically wrapped the towels tightly round Ivy wrists, as she pulled her up into her arms and held her tight. She lifted Ivy's wrists in the air, elevating them above her heart to slow the blood flow.
"You're so stupid Ivy" Karen whispered into Ivy's ear, as she lay, cold and lifeless, in her arms. "Why didn't you speak to me?! Why didn't you tell me?! I could have helped. I thought we were in this together."
Karen was shaking, as the severity of what was happening began to sink in. As she looked around, all she could see was blood, everywhere. The white tiled floor of Ivy's once gleaming bathroom, replaced by a dark sea of red. The mirror lay shattered in the pool of blood, the shards of glass glinting to remind Karen of how broken Ivy must have been to get to this point. She should have fought for her more. She should have realised sooner it wasn't so black and white.
"Ivy please fight" Karen pleaded, as she gently kissed her forehead, tears rolling down her cheek.
"Hello?"
"We're in here" Karen shouted, as 2 paramedics came rushing in. "Please, you have to help my friend. She's, she's slit her wrists. I, I tried to stop the bleeding, but there's so much of it."
"It's okay miss, you did the right thing. We can take care of her now.
What's her name?"
"Ivy" Karen replied, voice trembling. "Her name's Ivy Lynn."
