Emily's POV
I went to Nick's house to check up on Paige. Today she had therapy and I hope it went well. Nick starts to tell me how it went and it wasn't good now Paige is in her room with her pet.
''What happened?'' I asked him.
''Paige didn't wanted to talk to the therapist because she thought he was the enemy. Paige is starting to hear or see things that are not there. Paige is having trouble knowing what is real and what is not real.'' Nick said.
''You will keep taking her to therapy?'' I said.
''Yeah I will keep taking her. If you want to see her go upstairs and second door on the left is her room.'' Nick said and I nod.
I go upstairs and I see Paige looking out the window and she is talking to herself.
''Paige?'' I said.
''Emily?'' Paige said confused.
''Yeah it's me Emily. Your dad told me what happened today. Are you okay?'' I said.
''I'm okay I think. What are you doing here?'' Paige said.
''I came to check up on you.'' I said and we sit together on the bed.
''Why?'' Paige asked.
''I really care about you. I thought I can take you out for lunch today to spend time together.'' I said and I hold her hand.
But she moves her hand away.
''I-I-I don't think its good idea.'' Paige said.
''Why?'' I asked.
''They said you will hurt me and I should stay home.'' Paige said.
''Who said that?" I asked.
''You didn't hear them say it?'' Paige said.
''Your mind is playing tricks on you. And I swear I won't hurt you, do you believe me?'' I said.
''No, I don't believe you. They told me not to believe you because you don't care about me. And you only want to help because you feel bad then you will leave me.'' Paige said.
''Paige that is not true. Don't believe them because they are telling you lies, I swear I won't hurt you.'' I said.
Paige leave me side and she stand by the window again.
''I do believe her. B-b-b-but I want to give her a chance. Not fair you always boss me around like I'm a kid.'' Paige said.
''Paige, they are not real.'' I said and she looks at me.
''They are real.'' Paige said.
"They're not real okay." I say putting my hands on her cheek she looks at me for a moment then she moves away.
"They're real you just saying it because you want to hurt me." Paige says.
"I promise I won't hurt you." I said.
''I-I-I have to do something.'' Paige said without looking at me. Paige leaves the room and I wait for her.
Paige was gone for too long and I go downstairs and look for her. I found Paige on the floor and blood is coming out of her wrists.
''Paige!'' I said and run to her.
''I couldn't take it no more!'' Paige said crying.
''Paige look at me, it will be okay.'' I said then I put towel on her wrists.
''They won't leave me alone. I'm scared.'' Paige said sadly.
I take Paige to the hospital and she keeps talking to herself. And she starts to yell.
''Stop it!'' Paige yelled and I drive faster to the hospital.
I park in front of the hospital and the nurses take her in. I call Nick telling him what happened and he says that he'll be here in ten minutes. I go inside to the room in which Paige is but they tell me to wait outside so I watch her from outside the door and Paige is still talking to herself. The nurse goes inside to check up on her then I go inside and the nurse leaves us alone.
''Why you didn't let me die?'' Paige said.
''I can't let you do that. Paige I really care about you and I won't leave your side ever, I really mean it.'' I said.
''I want go to home.'' Paige said sadly.
''You will in little bit.'' I said.
Nick came and I told him what happened. And I didn't go home yet because I want to stay by her side. Paige is in her room laying down and she starts touch the stitches but I stop her.
I sit on the chair and Paige is just talking to herself again. I start to feel sleepy because last night I couldn't sleep well. All night I was worried about Paige, I close my eyes for a moment.
I woke up because I heard something break. And I look at my phone and I was asleep for almost two hours. Paige is awake and she is just looking for something in her room and she is making a big mess.
''Paige, what are you doing?'' I said.
''You have to leave.'' Paige said.
''Why?'' I asked.
''They won't stop yelling at me because you are here.'' Paige said scared.
''Paige they are not real please understand that. I'm going to get your medicine.'' I said.
Nick told me what kind of pills she is taking and where he keeps them. I grab two pills and water bottle then I go back to the room. I give Paige the water bottle but she throws it out the window.
''Why you did that?'' I asked.
''Maybe you post something inside the bottle.'' Paige said.
''I didn't.'' I said but that part I understood why Paige would be paranoid.
''But you have to take your pills.'' I said.
''I want juice.'' Paige said and I nod.
I go to the kitchen to get juice then I go back upstairs. Paige take her pills with the juice. I sit down with Paige and I try to explain what is real and what isn't real. But Paige has a hard time understanding what I'm trying to say. I sigh but it takes time for Paige to understand and get well. But I'm starting to have urges and I don't know what to do. Because the pills that Paige is taking makes her feel high and I took those pills before one time at a party while back.
Paige's POV
''She shouldn't be here. I don't trust her.'' Mia said.
''Emily is nice to me and I like her.'' I said.
''Mia is right. She shouldn't be here because she will hurt you. Tell her to leave!'' Johnny said.
''No!'' I yelled.
''Paige, what's wrong?'' Emily said and she starts to rub my arms.
''Mia and Johnny won't leave me alone. I don't know how to make them leave me alone.'' I said.
''Who is Mia and Johnny?'' Emily said.
''Why you can't see or hear them?!" I yelled.
''They are not real! The pills will make you feel better please believe me when I say that you will get well soon.'' Emily said.
''We will never leave you alone.'' Mia whispered in my ear and I cover my ears.
''Paige.'' Emily said and she pulls down my hands.
''We will be with you forever. Don't be stupid and stop acting like a kid.'' Johnny said.
''Okay.'' I said sadly.
''Why are you sad?'' Emily said.
''I'm going to the bathroom.'' I said and I leave the room fast.
''If you want us to leave you alone. Then there is one way you can do it.'' Mia said.
''How?'' I asked.
''There is a lake not too far from your house. So let's go the lake and swim deep down and close your eyes.'' Mia said.
''It will work?'' I asked.
''Don't be stupid! Of course it will work. Just close your eyes under water and we will leave you alone and you will get well.'' Johnny said.
''Okay I will go.'' I said.
I find a piece of paper and I draw a lake then I leave the house.
