Chapter 21
Ever since Sam told Amanda that her father killed himself, she has been depressed. She's so depressed that she doesn't want to work on her paperwork from Atlanta SVU. Her neighbor has to do everything for her everyday due to depression. Doom knocks on the door and Amanda answers.
"Hi Amanda." Doom says.
"Hi Doom." Amanda says.
"Sam told me about your dad. I'm sorry." Doom says.
Amanda is not happy since her father isn't with her. She still has her best friend though. Doom and Amanda figure out about what really happened with her father. They want to know if he's really dead or alive.
"My dad's at a rehab facility in Arizona. Don't tell Sam because he doesn't know that my dad went off to a rehab facility." Amanda replies.
"Thank God he's still alive. I miss him. He's a good man." Doom says.
"He is. I miss him too." Amanda says.
Around dinner time, Doom orders Chinese for them. He brings the food to Amanda's apartment and they eat it. They look up information about deaths that are faked and they talk to her father through video chat.
Later that night, Amanda and Doom are sitting on the couch watching, "When He's Not a Stranger." Amanda feels like Lyn McKenna in the movie since she was also made out to be a liar when she was raped. Doom thinks that this movie will help his best friend get over her rape.
"I'm going to use the bathroom. I'll be right back." Amanda says.
"Okay. No rush." Doom says.
Doom walks to the bathroom door to check on Amanda. She looks in the mirror and thinks about the pain that Patton caused her and her father. Amanda takes the sleeping pills and puts them in her mouth to swallow and then she drinks water to wash down the pills. After that, Doom runs to the bathroom to find his best friend unconscious and he's scared.
"Amanda! Amanda get up!" Doom yells.
Doom runs out of the bathroom to call 911. He tells the operator that his best friend is unconscious and that she might be suicidal. She asks him some questions and he answers them. Doom would be devastated if his best friend actually killed herself. A few minutes later, the ambulance and paramedics come to Amanda's apartment. They find her in the bathroom unconscious and the pills she took in order to commit suicide. They put her on a stretcher and they put her in the ambulance to take her to the hospital.
