Thankyou for all your reviews. I own none of these characters except for Madison and Halo. Sorry the chapters are short!

Chapter 18

Simon spent a week in hospital before he was discharged. Everyday there was someone with him, whether it was Matt, Robbie, Eric or Annie, he was never alone. He couldn't stand it. He needed to see Halo, he needed the E. It was the only time he felt good about himself.

It was Matt who took him home from the hospital. Eric and Annie had to work. Only a few words were passed between them and the rest of the journey was filled with an uncomfortable silence.

"Do you really want to die Simon? Is your life that bad?" Matt asked. His eyes were starting to fill with tears.

"What do you think?" Simon replied staring at the road ahead.

Matt stayed silent after that, but let a tear roll down his cheek. He couldn't stand the pain Simon was suffering. He wished he could take it all away. But he knew he couldn't. He also knew it was going to take some serious counselling and drug rehab to bring back the old Simon. The happy Simon.

As soon as they got home, Simon went to his room and just lied on his bed. He didn't want to be there. He hated it here. He wanted to be with his family but his family only made him feel worse. He needed to be with Halo. Halo hadn't even come and seen him in hospital though. He'd called him and left countless messages on his phone. Not even a message left at front desk. Perhaps he didn't want him either. No one wanted him.

He hopped in the shower later that night. He loved the boiling water on his back. He started to remember his first time with Halo in the shower. How he wished he was back there again. With Halo caressing his back. But he wasn't. He was stuck here and tomorrow he was stuck in counselling.
