Reid Pov
"I fucking hate you! I swear I fucking hate you!" my mom screamed , holding her pistol up at me. Me and her boyfriend had just fought, and she got mad cause I won. I didn't even know why I came home anymore because it was just the same old thing. Except for the gun, the gun was new.
"Mom, stop pointing that fucking gun at me!" I screamed as her boyfriend struggled to get off of the floor. I wanted to laugh at that. Stupid asshole shouldn't have tried to start shit.
"NO! You were a waste of my life! You ruined everything that I could've had! It's your fault that I am the way I am!" she put her finger on the trigger and my heart started racing.
"Crystal fucking Garwin! Put that damned gun down now!" I was starting to get shaky.
"Go to hell." she replied.
"I'm your son, mom. Your only child. Just please put the gun down." my voice was pleading. She dropped the gun and walked up to me, hitting me square in the jaw.
"Don't you dare call me mom, ever again! I would have gotten rid of you when I had the chance! Your a worthless piece of shit that doesn't deserve to be called my son! Now get the fuck out of my house damn you!" she screamed, opening the front door and pushing me out. I felt the tears threatening my eyes, but held them back. I flipped open my phone and dialed Tyler's number.
"sup Reid?" Tyler answered.
"I need you to come get me Ty. I'm at my mom's place."
"Why? What happened Reid?" he asked, concern dripping off his voice. No one except him knew about my mom and me fighting this bad, and I intended to keep it that way.
"I'll tell you when you get here, just come get me baby boy."
"Ok, I'll be there in a minute." he hung up. I walked to the end of my moms drive way. Has nothing my ass! She has everything in this damned world! I thought to myself as I saw Tyler's hummer coming down the road. He stopped in front of me and I got in the car. He looked over at me.
"Reid, what the hell happened!" Tyler exclaimed looking at my face, which was probably all screwed up.
"She-she put a gun to me man. Told me I never deserved to be called her son. Told me never to call her mom again." my voice broke at mom, and the tears finally fell.

I put the hummer in park as I heard what Reid told me. Plus I had only seen him cry one other time, and that was when his dad died when he was 13. He looked pitifully frail at this moment in time. His nose was bleeding, I could see a bruise forming on his temple, there were cuts all over his arms, and he had a waterfall of tears cascading down his face. So it was an understatement to say I was shocked.
"What did I do to her to make her hate me so much!" he screamed. I couldn't move. All I could do was stare at him like a fucking idiot.
"Reid, it's alright man. Everything's gonna be alright." I patted him on the shoulder. He straightened up, wiping the tears away from his face.
"Just take me back to the dorm room Ty, so I can get ready and go to Nicky's." he responded blankly and I nodded, putting the car in drive and driving towards Spenser Academy.

As soon as we got to the dorms, I ran to mine and went in. I went directly to the bathroom and shut the door. I looked in the bathroom mirror at my face. I decided that a hot shower would be in great use.
When I got out of the shower, I decided there was no point in fixing what looked pretty fucked up on my face. So instead I dug through the jeans on my floor and found the bottle of sleeping pills I took from my mom's house. They were supposed to be good shit, you know, knock you out if you took just one. Haha I'll do you one better. I thought as I opened the bottle and poured a palm full into my hand. I took a cup from the side of the sink and filled it up with water. Then I popped about ten pills into my mouth and downed the water. I repeated the process one more time and laughed as I realized what I had just done. I put the pills back in my pocket and went in the room to look for Tyler. He wasn't there. Instead I found a note on my bed.
Reid,
Went to Nicky's. Call when you want me to come get you.
Ty
I turned the paper over and wrote a little note of my own on the back. Then I put on a pair of boxers and some pajama pants and laid down in my bed, closing my eyes.

I checked my watch. 8:45pm it read. I sighed. Reid should have called about an hour ago. I tried his cell but it just went straight to his voice mail. I looked over to where Caleb and Sarah were dancing and where Pogue and Kate were playing pool with Kate's sister, Jules. Jules was Reid's only girl best friend, and she knew him almost as good as me. They talked on the phone just about every day.Maybe she will cheer him up when he sees her.I walked over to Kate.
"Hey, do you wanna come with me to go check on Reid?" I asked her, leaning against the pool table.
"Can Jules come?" she asked. I nodded.
"Why the hell not."
"Okay then let's go!" Kate kissed Pogue and we went to my hummer.
I could sense something was wrong as Kate, Jules, and I walked to Reid and mines dorm. I opened the door and walked in to see Reid laying on the bed, appearing to be sleeping. I wanted to laugh at his lazy ass. I walked up to him and shook him. He didn't move.
"Reid! Hey man wake up." I screamed in his ear,but he still didn't stir. That's when I saw a note laying next to him.
Tyler,
This ain't gonna be some sappy suicide note. All I have to say is you were the best friend I ever did have. All the bullshit and the pain, I'm not gonna have to deal with it anymore. You wanna know how I did what I did, then look in the pockets of my jeans that I wore today. Hopefully by the time you get this I'll be too far gone to be saved.
Reid
"Call 911 now!And look in Reid's jean pockets!" I screamed to no one in particular.
"OH my god! Reid! Wake up man!" I screamed shaking him violently. I heard Jules talking to an operator and Kate crying uncontrollably. Reid's breathing was shallow and his heartbeat was slowing. Using wasn't going to help save him now. I already tried.
"He took a whole bottle of sleeping pills!" Kate sobbed.
"Reid! Wake up! Please man! Don't leave me here! Don't you dare fucking die on me Reid Garwin! Come on man, you're my best friend! What am I gonna do without you!" I was getting hysterical. He was my best friend. What would I do without him here to make snarky ass comments and take my hummer all the time? What would I do if I didn't have him here to confide in? I started shaking him even more violently, screaming his name. People were starting to watch, I could tell I had forgot to close the door. There was a gentle push out of the way and I turned to see Jules. Her blue eyes were filled with tears. She dropped down to her knees and started shaking him ever so lightly.
"Reid. Honey it's time to quit playing around. It's time to get up." she paused "REID PLEASE! Don't leave me!Get up! Just get up!" she started pounding on his chest and crying for him to wake up. I heard Kate talking to someone, probably Pogue, sobbing and telling them that they needed to come down here as fast as possible. There was a pause and she mumbled something about Reid. I realized that Jules was now slapping him in the face and I grabbed her hands, pulling her towards me.
"NO! I have to wake him up! He'll be fine, I know he will!" she was struggling against me, but then she realized that I wasn't going to let he go, so she calmed and started sobbing hard into my chest. I heard cries from all over the place as the ambulance finally rushed in with a stretcher.
Do Y'all want me to continue? I just need yeses or no's...thanks ..I really hope you like it...
