Hanging by a Thread (cont.)

"Woah", remarked Kevin as he saw Edd, his wrists slashed. "Double-D, hold on. I'll stop the
bleeding." Kevin said, franticly searching for something to use as a bandage. Finding nothing,
and with time running out, Kevin decided that his socks would work good enough. Edd had already
passed out from blood loss. Kevin quickly tied his socks around Double-D's wrists. He then called
911. An ambulance arrived within three minutes. Kevin was commended for his quick thinking, and
told that if not for him, Edd would have died.

[Three hours later...]
Edd lie unconscious in the hospital room. His wrists had been stiched and sterilized. He slowly
awoke to find himself in...well, in the hospital. The last thing he remembered was Kevin coming
in to his house. After that, his mind drew a complete blank. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Edd replied, weakly. The doctor who had treated him entered. The doctor asked, "How
did this happen?" "Well, I was in a state of extreme depression. I couldn't think straight. I
don't know what compelled me to do this. My god, I could have died.", Edd suddenly realized.
"Well," the doctor replied,"I'm sorry to say that this isn't the first case I've seen of this
type. Although I usually have to deal with it in teens and adults, I have had a few other
patients about your age." "So, what saved me?" Edd queried. "Luckly for you, there was someone
around you to stop the bloodflow. He apperantly tied his socks around your wrists. A very
ingenious young man." "Who was it?" Edd asked. "I don't know. He called 911 and stayed with you
until the paramedics arrived. Then he ran off." came the doctor's reply. "Will I be alright?"
Edd asked. "Oh yes, you'll be fine. We just want to keep you here for seventy-two hours, just to
make sure you don't get any infections. Well, I'll be back in a couple of hours, just to check up
on you again. Until then, I suggest you get some rest. That's the best thing for you right now."
Edd lie back on the pillow and allowed sweet unconsciousness to envelope him.
