"He what?" Reid whispered.
"You heard me," Lily fumed. "I found him unconscious in the bathroom…it was horrible." Reid couldn't believe that this was happening. Overwhelming guilt overtook him and tears began to fall from his eyes. Reid hadn't cried since he was 8 years old but this was just too intense. Lily's face softened when she saw Reid's face. This was a side of him that she had never seen. She sat down beside him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
"Hey, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I just…when I found Luke, it was the most heartbreaking and horrible thing I've ever seen. Luke loves you so much, Reid and he's had so many bad things happen in his life," Lily said. Reid looked at her with tears in his eyes.
"Wh-what exactly happened? Reid asked. As Lily recounted what she had seen, Reid's face paled. This wasn't happening. His Luke, the man he loved…the man who had changed him for the better, was in a hospital bed. And it was his fault. "I n-need to see him," Reid managed to stutter. Lily smiled sadly at him.
"Of course." Reid and Lily stood up and began to head for Luke's room. When they were almost there, Holden stepped out.
"You bastard!" Holden said when he saw Reid. He walked over to Reid in two strides and shoved him up against the wall. "My son could die because of you!" Holden screamed, his eyes dark and angry.
"Holden, stop!" Lily cried. Holden looked over at Lily.
"Our son tried to kill himself!"
"H-Holden…" Reid choked out. "P-please…I n-need to see him," Reid said. Holden looked back at Reid and slowly let go when he saw the expression of pain and panic on Reid's face. "Th-thank you," Reid rasped. Then he walked past Lily and Holden towards Luke's room. Reid was shaking as he turned the knob. He saw Luke lying in bed, looking so peaceful. Both of his wrists were bandaged and a heart monitor beeped at a steady rhythm by Luke's bed. Reid took a deep breath and entered the room. He made his way over to the chair by Luke's bed and sat down. "God, Luke…I'm so sorry for not listening to you…" Reid whispered. "Please, you have to wake up. I…I need you."
