Warnings!: Suicidal teenager? Angst?
A/N: Loosely based on a suicide attempt I made before seeing a therapist.
Please read and review!
Alyss didn't remember much after The Incident. But what she did remember was waking up in the hospital with a very worried Alice staring down at her.
"Alice…" she managed to say, before her friend burst into tears.
"Don't you ever do that again, seriously Alyss! Look at you! Look at me!"
Alyss gave an apologetic smile before slowly raising her right hand towards Alice's face. Alice grabbed her hand and pressed it to her own cheek.
"I can't loose you, Alyss…it's just…just that…well, you know..." she trailed off, blushing lightly. Alyss smiled at her.
"Alice, I love you."
Alice's hands gripped Alyss' tightly as tears streamed down her face.
"I love you too, Alyss."
Alyss looked up at her friend and smiled.
"I promise," she said.
Alice kissed her forehead.
"Thank you," she replied, "I couldn't live if you weren't here."
She gently ran her fingers across Alyss' bandaged wrists.
"Which is exactly what I'm afraid of."
Alyss cupped Alice's face in her hands.
"I may not always be me, but I'll always be there. Alyss or Alex, I'll always be yours."
Alice threw her arms around Alyss, burying her face in the latter's shoulder and crying.
"Thank you," she sobbed, "thank you so much…"
Alyss raised her arms and hugged Alice to her chest, tears beginning to slide down her own cheeks.
"Thank you, Alice."
