PAIGE POV
We have been here for 2 hours. Nothing has happened. We have no news and I was starting to get frustrated. I wanted to know what was going on but mostly I wanted to know why Ellie would do this to herself. The cutting was terrible absolutely horrible, trying to kill yourself is different in an extreme way. There are more ways to deal with stuff. Never would I have thought I would find myself in this situation. Crying because Ellie Nash tried to kill herself. Crying because Ellie Nash might be dead.
I'm not worried about myself though either outcome I know someday I will get over it but I'm worried about Marco. He did not take the news easily. He screamed and yelled at me to get Dylan to drive us to the hospital. Here he is now staring at the hospital door numbered 249. It's to be expected, I mean he just found out that Ellie had tried t commit suicide. His best friend. Yup I admitted it. Marco is closer to Ellie than I will ever be they were inseparable in 9th grade. So they were dating or pretending to date ( I never really understood that even with a gay brother) but that didn't matter, they were best friends always will be.
I just found out that Sean is here. Apparently he was the one to find her bleeding in here room. I don't know why he was even back home. I mean he left Ellie for his parents' 2 months ago what brings him back? Maybe that was it. Maybe it was Ellie that made him come back. I decide not to ask him though. It will make him even more upset.
Ash and me just got into a fight earlier. About Ellie. She told me that I was never really her friend and I know that but I wanted to ask her if she knew about Ellie's …issue. I wanted to tell her that I had helped Ellie when she couldn't. When we said those things to each other it hurt Marco badly. Here we are his other two closest friends arguing about who was/is a better friend to a girl who may be dying.
I see now that Sean's back from drowning his sorrows in coffee. I feel slightly bad when Marco asks him something and his eyes well with tears. Sean hands Marco a piece of crumpled up paper stained with black (ink stains most likely) that probably says some of the information that I am dying to here. Like why someone would want to do this to themselves. Silently I study Marco's face as he reads and it seems like with every sentence his heartbreaks even more. I know I will have to watch him closely in the next few days.
All of a sudden the room 249's door opens and out steps a doctor. The man is tall and tired. His face marked with lines of experience and an unreadable expression. I watch Marco stand and walk over to the man. I get up and follow him bracing myself for what's next. " I need to speak to a family member." And then I feel Marco start to sway; gently I grab his shoulders and lead him to a chair as Sean takes Marco's place in front of the doctor" I'm her brother." He tells the doctor face grim." Well… Your sister Eleanor punctured a major artery we were able to stop the bleeding but we are not sure if we will be able to replace it in time her condition is unstable we are doing everything we can but we don't know how long she will survive I am sorry." Marco's crying increased and this time he was the one leaning on my shoulder. Silent tears rolled down my cheeks and for the first time I saw Sean start to sob. Gently I removed myself from Marco's grasp and turned to the doctor" But there is still hope right?" " There is a very minimum chance of survival in her case but yes you shouldn't give up hope but you shouldn't get your hopes up either." I nodded and excused myself to the bathroom. I had never been the strong one in these cases. I splashed water on my face and breathed in deeply. I pulled my cell phone out of my small pink purse and pressed speed dial number 3. Spinner." Hello?" He answered." Spin it's me Paige you need to come to memorial hospital as quick as possible."" What why are you alright your not hurt?" My eyes filled again" I'm fine… it's Ellie." My voice quivered and almost failed completely at the end." Do you need my to come pick me up? Or just to come?" " I just, I just need you Spin." With that I hung up the phone praying that he would be here soon.
