A/N: Another dark chapter… Lindsay needed to hit rock bottom before she could work her way back up and this chapter is where she hits bottom. Oh and Mr. Mason is still a creep in this chapter but he will get what's coming to him.

Warning: Mention of suicide attempt

When Monday came Lindsay went to school because her parents made her. She wouldn't talk let alone look at Danny. He tried to get her to talk but she refused; she would get to class late and leave class before him. He looked for her during lunch but she disappeared.

She did her best to avoid him the next day too. Every time she saw Mr. Mason, she would get nauseous. She had to force herself not to throw up a few times and she would never look at him.

On Wednesday at the end of her Biology class while everyone was packing up, Mr. Mason gave back an exam from Monday. When Lindsay got hers and saw a B- she started to panic. Mr. Mason got close to Lindsay and whispered in her ear, "Guess you need a little help on your human biology. I can help you with that." All Lindsay wanted to do was throw up; all color had drained from her face.

Danny saw the color drain from Lindsay's face and tried to talk to her but she wouldn't have any of it.

Lindsay kept thinking that her parents were going to be pissed. She was going to be sick; she had to get out of there. She pushed past Danny and ran to the bathroom. As if the day wasn't going bad enough, she saw Jason talking to Madison as she walked out of the class room.

Seeing her distress Danny followed after her waiting outside the bathroom so he could talk to her as soon as she came out.

As soon as Lindsay got into the bathroom she emptied the contents of her stomach. She was happy that no one was in there with her. She started to pace a little as the panic began to build again; her head was hurting, her stomach was turning. Everything was coming back at her, the attempted rape by Jason, the actual rape by Mr. Mason, how out of control she felt when it came to her life, everything.

She took out some Advil and took first two, then another two and then another. She found her blade in her bag and took it out and dragged it across her wrist first once, than twice. First she cut on the right wrist then on the left, deeper than she'd ever cut before. She didn't care; she just wanted everything to go away.

Soon the room started to spin and Lindsay couldn't fight the darkness anymore as she closed her eyes and fell to the ground.

On the other side of the door Danny started to worry when she didn't come out after five minutes. When he heard a thump on the other side he really started to panic and ran in.

When he got in he saw Lindsay unconscious on the floor with a lot of blood around her. He ran over to her and got down on the floor and tried to shake her awake. "Lindsay," he said frantically.

"Lindsay," he pleaded.

When she wouldn't stir he pulled out his cell and called 911.

"911 what's your emergency," came the voice.

After telling them where he was he said, "My friend fainted in the woman's bathroom. She has several deep cuts on her wrist and she's unconscious."

"We'll send an ambulance over right away," responded the voice.

After he hung up a girl came into the bathroom and was shocked to see him in the bathroom. She was even more shocked to see Lindsay on the floor with blood around her. Danny looked directly at the girl and yelled, "Go get the nurse!"

The girl turned right around and ran to get the nurse who came as fast as she could.

When the nurse came she gave Danny some bandages and told him to put it around Lindsay's wrist and apply pressure.

The paramedics came within a few minutes and hooked Lindsay up to IV's. They got worried when they saw an empty bottle of Advil so they quickly loaded her up in the ambulance and drove away leaving Danny covered in Lindsay's blood.

Danny went to the men's bathroom, washed off his hands and then went to his dad's office. When Joey saw him he was shocked, "Danny, what happened," he asked.

"Lindsay," was all Danny could say before he sat down on the couch.

Joey's face went from confusion to realization. "Oh no, I was just called up to clean up the woman's bathroom. Is she ok," he asked.

Danny just shrugged in response. "She took some pills and cut her wrists…bad," he explained sadly.

He looked at his son feeling bad for him and then said, "I have an extra shirt and pants in my locker, why don't you change and go to the hospital."

Danny nodded and did just that.

By the time he got to the hospital the doctors had pumped Lindsay stomach and stitched and bandaged up her wrists. She was asleep in her room and her parents were sitting in there with her. When they saw Danny Mr. Monroe came out to meet him.

"How is she," he asked.

"She's good, she's sleeping," he responded. Then the strangest thing happened, he heard Mr. Monroe let out a sob. "What would make her do this," he questioned as a tear fell. This was a side to Mr. Monroe Danny had never seen before.

Danny couldn't help it but he had tears in his eyes too. Just then Mrs. Monroe came out and said that she needed some coffee. Danny told them both to go, that he'd sit in the room with Lindsay until they got back.

Before they left, Mrs. Monroe went over to Danny and just gave him a hug which after a second's confusion, he returned.

While he was sitting with her she began to stir and eventually woke up. When he saw she was up he went over to her. "Lindsay," he said.

When she saw it was Danny she turned away from him and said, "Go away."

"Lindsay," he softly questioned again.

"Go away," she said more forcefully. "I don't want to talk to you!"

Danny did the only thing he thought he could do, he got up and left. As he walked away he saw her parents coming back. When they gave him a questioning look he told them she was awake and had told him to leave.

In the room, once Danny had left, Lindsay felt tears fall.
