"Hold On" by Good Charlotte
Baljeet was curled up in the fetal position in the middle of his bathroom floor. He had been vomiting all evening from all the anxiety and emotional stress that had been put on his body for the passed few days. That day in particular had been one of the worst days of his entire short life. He had been beaten up four times that day at school. Unfortunately Buford could not be around to protect his defenseless boyfriend at all times, like he would prefer.
Baljeet has always been strong and could always take anything any bully could dish out, but today he had reached his breaking point. The only thing he wanted at that moment was to never face another day of pain again. Suddenly as if on cue, his alarm that reminded him to take his anti depressant medication went off. He stood up and reached into his pocket to grab his prescription medication. He opened the bottle and pored out two pills into his hand and set the bottle down on the counter.
He stared down at the two small capsules in the palm of his hand as if they were staring back at him. 'Just a few more.' he thought. 'Just a few more and all of this pain will finally be over. 'He couldn't stand being in this cold world anymore. All he wanted at that moment was to escape. Baljeet retrieved the bottle back from the counter and pored the entire bottle into his quivering hand. Just as he was about to shove all of the pills down his throat, he heard his cell phone vibrate. He glanced down to see that it was Buford. After a few seconds of hesitation he pored all of the pills back into the bottle and picked up his phone. He flipped it open to read the text from his boyfriend
"Hey, Baby. Sorry u had a bad day =( Hold on. It'll get better. I Love U 3" It read.
Baljeet read the text about five times before bursting into tears "Wh…at am I doing!?" He said out loud to himself. Baljeet walked down the hall and into his bedroom to lay down and gather his thoughts.
"Thank you =)" Baljeet replied to Buford's text. Before falling asleep from the emotional exhaustion.
Buford had saved Baljeet's life that night. And he would never know it.
