"Okay B.B. No more sulking in this room. It's not health." Said the doctor as she carefully opened the door. Inside the room was empty. She raised an eyebrow and looked around. "I don't have time to be playing games." She said as she closed the door behind her. There was no noise in the room. Just silence. Not a breath.
She felt a sudden shiver come over her. She slowly moved closer to the bed and peaked over a bit.What she saw next, she couldn't believe her eyes. She saw his hand and a pool of blood creeping through.
"My god!" She gasped and moved closer to see him on the floor, motionless. She got on her kneesnext to him and turned him over.
He felt cold as death when she held him.
"Why did you do this B.B?!" She mumbled and took off her coat and covered his wrists with it. She honestly didn't know if he was going to live or die. There was so much blood. Her clothes was practically drenched in it. She gently set him down and ran to the door and poked her head out. "I need a medic stat!" She yelled out. "Suicide attempt!!! We need to hurry!" She yelled more and banged on the door.
Within five-minutes the room was surrounded with orderlies, one who brought a gurney. Two of them took B.B out of her arms, leaving her on the floor in the pool of his blood. She didn't know if she was too late. Was he even going to make it.
Down the hallway they were rushing B.B to the medical center of the building.
"Is he even alive still?" One asked as they started to clean the blood off his arms.
"He's as white as a ghost." Said another as they opened the curtain to let them in.
"We can't just leave him like this." Said another as they started reading through his charts. "We need to start doing a blood transfusion stat, start hooking him up to a ventilator. His brain needs oxygen. Who knows how long he's been unconscious like this. It be a miracle if he doesn't come out brain damaged." Another one explained as they started to help put and oxygen mask in his mouth.
Soon after they hooked him up to a monitor to see where his heart beat was at. At first there wasn't a pulse. There was nothing but a flatline on the screen.
"Were not getting a pulse. Should we bring out the defibrillator ?" One suggest.
"Hold on. Just give it a minute." They said as they started to push IV's into his arms.
Another five minutes passed there was still no pulse.
One sighted. "I think we los—" He said but was soon cut off when he heard the heart monitor start to beep. It wasn't a constant beep but it was still there.
Beyond Birthday was alive. Barley but alive.
"Let's get him cleaned up and keep those transfusions coming."
Dr. Rodriguez sat back in her chair and rubbed her eyes. Trying to figure out what had led him to do this. She moved her hand from her face and sat up and scanned her desk, till her eyes fell on the picture frame of her children. She picked it up and saw that the glass was missing.
He must of took it when she had her back turned. That still didn't make sense. Was it because that woman that had come to see him those times? They haven't gotten into details of what happened exactly. All she knew is that she refused his confession and that was the end of it. He didn't allow her to come back after that day.
She sighted and put the picture down. Did he try to commit suicide because of her? When she got him back, she was going to make full well that he never tried to end his life again.
Before she got up the phone started to ring. That must be the medical wing. She thought and picked up the phone.
Dr. Rodriguez? Asked a warped voice.
She blinked a bit. "Who is this?"
Don't worry about that. I need some information about your patient Beyond Birthday. My sources say that he tried to end his own life under your watch. Was it because of the guilt he felt towards his victims? The voice asked.
"Why do you want to know? You seem to know enough." She shot back and was about to hang up.
I know a lot Doctor. A lot more than you probably do. They said.
When they said that last part is when it finally clicked. "It's you isn't it? L."
Very good Doctor. I always knew that you were a smart one. Back the topic at hand. Was his suicidal attempt out of guilt?
She sighted. "If it was, it would have been easier for you to condemn him right? No. It wasn't out of guilt. The suicide attempt was out of grief."
That's right. He recently had a female visitor come. But her visits only lasted a few short weeks. What could have happened in those weeks that would make him turn to this?
"Your asking the wrong person. We haven't gotten that far. He shut down after their last visit. And now here we are."
Very right. Thank you Dr. Rodriguez. I have everything I need.
"Wai-" She yelped. But it was too late as he hung up. She sat there in disbelief on what just happened. That was the first time that L called to ask about B.B, other than that woman Noami.
My eyes twitched a bit as I felt my joints jump. I woke up gasping for breath. I tried to move my hands but they felt heavy to lift. The heart monitor went crazy as I turned my head side to side. I couldn't understand what was going on. The last place I remember being at was so dark. So dark that it couldn't be heaven.
"Am I dead?" I asked groggily and breathed slowly, trying to calm down my heart.
"Sadly no B.B. Your very much alive." Said some one beside him.
I blinked a little and turned my head to see where that voice came from. I couldn't believe my eyes. I had to close my eyes for a bit just so I knew I wasn't seeing things. When I reopened them, there he was. Sitting in a chair in that weird posture with his thumbnail in his mouth.
"Why are you here L?" I asked as I turned my hair away.
"It's nice to see you again too B.B. You haven't changed much since the last time I saw you."
"You mean when I tried to burn myself to death." I mumbled. "Why do you care if I killed myself. You should be happy that your murderer was gone. That means that your case would have officially closed."
"That's not the case Beyond." He said as he stood up and walked over to my bed. He gently grabbed my face and made me look at him.
He truly hasn't changed. He was still pale as a ghost, with raven black hair and dark rings under his eyes to match. My heart beat picked up again as I tried to move my head. His hand kept affirm grip on my face.
"Why did you do it?" He asked as he looked deep into my eyes. "Was it because of that woman?"
"There is no woman." I whispered and kept looking at him.
"We both know that is a lie." He said and let go of my face. "What was it Beyond? You thought that your precious lady love would forgive you for your sins and that one day you could live happily ever after with her? But that wasn't the case was it? You give her your love confession in the hopes that she would return your feelings? Am I getting close?"
My voice was stuck in my throat. "If you know everything already then why did you come down here and waste your time!" I shouted and gripped the bed. "Why couldn't any of you just let me die! Why must I continue to suffer!" I cried. I tried not to let my voice crack but just like the tears that spilled down my cheeks it was impossible. I had finally cracked again.
L came over to me again and ran a finger across my cheek. "I haven't seen you cry in so long.. after the night your friend died.." He muttered and touched his wet finger. "I thought you forgot how to cry.. have I ever cried? Am I physically capable to?" He continued to mutter to himself. He stopped to go to the bathroom and came back with some toilet paper and started to clean my eyes. "Blow." He said as I did what he asked.
"What if I can relieve you of that pain? Would you take it B.B?" He asked me.
I blinked a bit. "I don't understand."
He leaned down to where his face was almost close to mine. I blinked more and stared at him. "Exactly what I just said. If I can give you an escape right now, would you take it?"
"Yes. I want it!" I declared and lifted my head up to where our lips were almost touching. I could feel his hot breath on my mouth. I licked my lips nervously as he finally pulled away.
"Very well. I'm glad you made the right choice." He said as he pulled out a syringe and a vile.
I watched him as he stuck the needle in the vile and shake it a bit. "What's that?" I asked as he walked to my IV bag and pricked it and injected the unknown substance.
"Your escape Beyond. The one that I promised." He said as he came to my side again.
At first I didn't understand what he meant until it finally hit me. My chest felt tight as I was gasping for air. The monitor was beeping insanely. More now than ever. My body started to convulse in spasms. I was in so much pain that I didn't know who to respond.
Code blue! Code blue! Said the speaker as doctors started to rush into my room. L was no where to be seen.
What did you do to me?! I thought and groaned in pain. "Make it stop!" I cried and screamed.
"B.B!" Yelled the Dr. Rodriguez as she ran to my side. She held my head up.
"It's.. its you-" I whispered as I felt my heart stop again. I fell limp in her arms.
"It's too late.." She whispered as her tears fell on his face.
