It was a couple days later and Jen had discovered Sarah had swallowed a few of those pills. Since Jen had found out that day she watches Sarah carefully. Jen was her new dorm that day, after getting adjusted you get a new dorm to yourself if one is available, doing homework when Charlie came barging in. Jen looked at him confused. "Tell me what's been going on with Sarah." He said as he stood in front of Jen.
Jen raised an eyebrow at Charlie and stood. "What are you talking about?"
"She ran into her dorm about ready to cry and locked herself in and won't answer me."
Jen immediately ran down to Sarah's dorm. "I'll text you!" Jen called as she hurried to Sarah's dorm.
She knocked on the door and called for Sarah. "Sarah!" Jen didn't get an answer so she called out for Sarah a few more times with still no answer. Jen remember the extra key to Sarah's dorm that Sarah forgot in Jen's dorm when helping her move the previous day.
Jen went and grabbed the key then went back to Sarah's dorm and unlocked her door. Jen ran over to Sarah's bed where Sarah was laying. Jen looked over Sarah and saw her arms covered in blood and pills spilled on the floor. Jen saw Sarah struggling for breath and tears started to spill over onto Jen's cheeks. "Sarah!" Jen tapped her cheek. "Come on baby" Jen didn't eve catch the slip up as she continued trying to get Sarah to open her eyes. "Come on baby don't die on me. Please, I love you!" Jen tapped Sarah's cheek again and her eyes fluttered open slowly. "Sarah come on." Jen put pressure on Sarah's arms with her hands. Sarah shook her head but couldn't speak. "Blaine!" Sarah called since his dorm was right across the hall.
He came out and into Sarah's dorm. "Yeah?" His eyes widened when he saw his sister.
"Call 911." Jen looked at him then back at Sarah as Sarah shook her head again. "Stop that Sarah. You're going to the hospital. I'm sorry, I can't save you alone this time."
Blaine called for an ambulance and within minutes there was paramedics coming in with a stretcher. Blaine went in the ambulance with Sarah and Jen got a ride to the hospital from Charlie. On the way there Jen had to explain to Charlie about the cutting and bullies that started it. She explained how Sarah can be triggered also. By the time she finished they were at the hospital and Jen ran into the waiting room. She ran straight up to Blaine. "How is she?"
Blaine shrugged and sat Jen down next to him. "They didn't say anything. They just rushed her into the back."
Jen sat back with a sigh trying not to cry. After what seemed like forever, a doctor came out. "Family of Sarah Anderson?"
Charlie, Blaine, and Sarah all stood up and made their way to the doctor worriedly. "Is she ok?" Jen asked before anybody else could.
The doctor nodded at her. "Yes, she will be fine. We had to give her a couple stitches and bandaged her arms up. She has to stay here under 72 hour suicide watch then after we recommend counseling."
Blaine and Jen both nodded. "Can we see her now?" Blaine was the one to ask.
The doctor nodded. "Yes just please be careful with her. She's asleep right now, she needs rest. She'll wake up once the sedation wears off. Just give it time." The doctor took them to her room and then left them to visit.
Charlie was the first one to leave requesting a text from one of them when Sarah woke up. Blaine asked Jen if she was going to go back to school and Jen shook her head immediately. "No. I'm not leaving her side. Ever again. I left her side for a little bit when this all happened and I'm never leaving her side again."
Blaine smiled at Jen and got up grabbing his blazer. "Tell her how you feel sometime soon." He gave her a smile and a pat on the shoulder before kissing his sleeping sister's cheek and then he left, requesting the same thing from Jen as Charlie.
Jen moved her chair to be right next to the hospital bed, she put her hand on Sarah's leg and sighed. "Sarah you can be such an idiot sometimes." Jen chuckled. "But I still love you." Jen felt the tear ready to spill over and she didn't stop them this time. "Damnit Sarah. You should've came to me. I could've helped you. God I'm just glad Charlie told me and I found you in time. I don't know what I would have done if-" Jen cut herself off and laid her head on Jen's leg as she let the silent tears go until she eventually fell asleep.
When Sarah finally woke up, Jen was in the same position, asleep. Sarah, confused, shook Jen awake. "Jen, hey wake up." She whispered.
Jen sat up straight, awake. "What?"
"What are you doing here?" Sarah asked confused.
"I was worried about you so I stayed." Jen explained.
"But what about school?" Sarah sat up a little.
Jen shrugged. "It'll be fine. Don't you ever do this to me, to your brother, again."
That statement reminded Sarah, "Um Jen?"
Jen looked at Sarah. "Yeah?"
"When you um found me did, did you mean what you said? That, that you love me?" Sarah was playing with her fingers as she spoke.
Jen looked down, blushing. "You caught that? Damn."
Sarah looked at Jen smiling and saw the blush on Jen's cheeks. "Well j-just so you know, I love you too." Sarah said blushing now also.
Jen looked at her, surprised. "Really?"
Sarah nodded and bit her lip. "Will, will you kiss me?" Sarah asked hopefully. Jen got up and slowly attached their lips, kissing her soft and sweet and they both saw fireworks. When they pulled away they looked at each other stunned at how amazing that one kiss felt. "Wow." Sarah whispered.
Jen nodded in agreement. "Yeah." Sarah blushed and looked away, biting her lip. Jen smiled at Sarah and how cute she looked. "Sarah?" Jen said softly, still smiling.
Sarah looked at her. "Yeah?"
Jen took a deep breath before talking again. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Sarah smiled wide and nodded. "Yes. I will."
Jen smiled and kissed Sarah again. "All the more reason for me not to leave your side this whole time you're in here." Jen smirked and sat back down in her chair .
Sarah groaned. "Really? Jen, you gotta go to school."
Jen shook her head. "Baby, you're more important than anything, especially school. I'm not leaving your side so don't even try to make me." Jen took Sarah's hand as she sighed in defeat.
"Fine." Sarah intertwined their fingers, smiling.
Jen turned their hands so that Sarah's wrist faced up. "This, no more baby. I'm here for you, you come talk to me when you feel the urge, please."
Sarah turned Jen's arm so that her scars were shown. "You too babe."
Jen nodded and stood up. "As long as you stick to talking to me, I'll stick to talking to you." Jen then leaned down and kissed both of Sarah's bandaged wrists.
Sarah smiled and pulled at Jen's hand to bring her close. Once Jen was close enough, Sarah kissed her smiling. When they pulled away Sarah scooted over. "Come lay down and go back to sleep with me."
Jen nodded and climbed in the bed. "Ok baby." They cuddled and drifted back to sleep.
