ASHLEY POV

Right, left, right. I turned the lock on my locker quickly trying to rid my head of all these thoughts. Ellie and Craig and back to Ellie. They were talking about her. Talking about how she tried to kill herself. They all knew.

" Did you hear about Ellie Nash?" they would say

" Ya I heard she tried to kill herself."

" Ya that's what I heard."

" I heard she cuts herself to." I couldn't take it. Thank god the school day was almost over. One more period I told myself 40 minutes left and then I would be at the hospital with Marco and Paige and… Sean. Today was the day we found out the fate of our friend.

Just then 2 large hands covered my face but I shook them off. I didn't want to be in the dark I know it was silly but I just couldn't be in the dark not without Ellie. I turned around and faced Craig.

" What are you doing after school?" He asked and I glared at him. He knew what I was doing I told him yesterday well more like sobbed to him yesterday what happened

" I told you, I'm going to visit Ellie," My eyes filled with tears and I paused. " I need to be there to deal." I removed his hand from my shoulder

" Oh sorry, do you want me to come it might help you." He gaze softened

" Um I think, I think I should ya actually you would do that?" he nodded and pulled me into a tight hug before kissing me on the lips softly. I pulled away and mumbled

" I've got to get to class." I turned around and ran of in the opposite way of my English class.

Running down the hall, ignoring al the stares and whispers as I passed. I prayed that no one was in the bathroom but my prayers came unanswered when I saw 3 girls. Manny and Emma were leaning against one wall talking quietly to each other and Heather Sinclair was leaning against the sink fixing he makeup she giggled as I passed. Once in a stall I sank to the floor sobbing quietly. The lock on the door turned and then clicked open revealing two of the girls previously mentioned. Manny Santos and Emma Nelson were staring at me with looks of confusion plastered on to their 16-year-old faces.

" Are you alright." Emma asked me. I shook my head

" Haven't you heard the rumors?" I asked standing up.

" We are not going to lie we did." Manny said and I glared at her.

" Then that was a stupid question. My best Friend committed suicide yesterday and your just asked me if I'm ok. Tell me how would you feel?" I snapped my mood changing from upset to mad.

" Your right sorry." Emma said. The 2 girls looked at each other and then at me before Manny said.

" We were gonna visit her after school. If we could get a ride but if you're up to it we can go now. Maybe it would help ya know having people there with you and besides I have a spare this period." I stared at the girls looking for some hint of lying. I mean me and Manny hated each other she would never be this nice. I wiped my eyes on my sleeve and said.

" You're serious." They nodded " Ok let me just get Craig to drive us."

MANNY POV

Never in a million years would I have imagined that I would be in the backseat of Craig Manning's car with Emma right beside me and Ashley Kerwin in the front seat on are way to visit Ellie Nash in the hospital because she committed suicide. But hey life throws you things that you don't expect. I mean no one would have expected Ellie to commit suicide either. I am nervous about what I am going to see today. Here sitting in the backseat I feel already like I shouldn't be here but Emma insisted that I come after I mentioned it.

After a ten minute long drive we had finally reached the hospital and my heart was beating wildly in my chest and I didn't know why. Ashley ran up to the front desk and found Ellie's room number. Before I knew it we were on our way down the hall of the intensive care ward of Memorial hospital. Occupying 2 of the 7 chairs outside hospital room number 149 were Marco and Sean Cameron. I was really surprised to see Sean from what I heard Sean and Elie did not end on good terms and here he was sitting outside her hospital room looking heartbroken.

Emma gasped when she saw him but quickly recovered and turned to sit down in 1of the last chairs I sat down next to her. Ashley collapsed in a chair and started crying on Craig shoulder. Right then a doctor came out of the room as Marco and Sean jumped out of their seats obviously they had been waiting for this.

" I have some good news and some bad news." The doctor said.

" Ellie is going to be ok. We were able to repair the blood and stitch up her cut but we are going to have to put he on suicide watch and possibly send her to a rehab center for suicidal teens depending on how well she responds to the treatment." After that everything went silent except for everyone letting out a deep breath. If I was ever told before yesterday that I would be in this situation I would laugh in their face but now that I'm here I knew it was the right thing to do.
