Billy Ray walked into Miley's room expecting to see her gone. But, to his surprise, she was lying in her bed. He rolled his eyes and left the room. He went to call Roxy to pick her up.
After he called Roxy, he went back to Miley's room.
"Miley," he called. She didn't move. Typical, Miley slept in again. He went to shake her and noticed the notes crumpled under her arm. Then, he noticed Miley wasn't breathing. He rushed to the nearest phone and called 911.
He picked up the note with his name on it.
Daddy,
I'm sorry I'm not your perfect little girl. I'm sorry I like girls, I wish I could change it, but I can't. I'm sorry I hurt and disappointed you. You'll never have to deal with me anymore. I killed myself last night. I'm sorry and I love you.
Miley
He broke down in tears and cried until the ambulance rushed Miley to the nearest hospital.
At the hospital, they performed CPR and shocked her until she started breathing again. The doctor pumped her stomach, but the pills had already dissolved into her system. They tried detoxing her blood using a machine, but that didn't help either. Her liver was in failure and there was no way a transplant team would give a new liver to a suicidal teenage girl. Miley was destined to die. She was alive because of life support now.
Mikayla arrived at the hospital and Billy Ray handed her the crumpled note with her name scrawled upon it.
Mikayla,
I'm sorry, darling. I really am. I'm sorry that I'm doing this to you. But, I can't live knowing my family hates me for me. And maybe I hate myself too. I wanna tell you that I love you, and I wish I could've said it to your face instead of in a note. Take care Mikayla, I'll be watching over you in heaven.
Love forever and always,
Miley
Billy Ray was faced the tough decision to take his daughter, his teenage daughter, off life support. He knew Miley couldn't live without it, but it didn't make the decision any easier.
"Miley, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kicked you out. I shouldn't have flipped out that you were dating Mikayla. I was just scared that you were throwing away your life. I was scared of what people might think of me for having a gay daughter. I'm sorry I made you feel like you had no other choice than suicide, because Miley, that shouldn't have been an option. I'm so sorry, Bud. I'm really sorry." Billy Ray confessed and started to break down again.
There was a gagging sound.
"NURSE!" Billy Ray called.
The nurse removed the life support tubes and Miley was breathing on her own! Miley was awake! She had woken up despite what the doctors had said.
"Daddy, where am I?"
"The hospital," Billy Ray answered.
"Oh… I'm sorry I tried to kill myself."
"It's ok, sweetie, I never should've treated you to the point where you thought you were better off dead."
"Where's Mikayla?"
"She stepped out of the room. I'll go get her."
Mikayla walked in.
