Noelle's POV#######========########=======#######=======#

I grabbed a knife from the knife block. Walking upstairs.

Noone in their right mind would love someone like you.
Noone would love you.
Your not even attractive.

He was right. Just like my father.
Noone in their right mind would love me.
Not even anyone not in their right mind would love me.
and I wouldn't have a chance if anyone did because I look like roadkill.
Walking into my bedroom leaving the door unlocked I looked into the full body mirror.
I lifted my chin showing the scar on my neck.
Slowly I cut it open again.
The pain was like nothing I've ever felt before. And slowly red beads of blood started pouring from it.
then I lifted the other side of my neck giving it a twin.
Slowly my vision blurred and black spots danced before my eyes.
Then Jordan walked in.
"Noelle? Hey you in-?!" She saw me
"NOELLE!" She screamed. pulling out her phone and typing three numbers in it.
"Hello? Yes I'm Jordan Elmore My friend is bleeding to death.
My address? Yes its"
Then I went unconscious.
=======#######=======########=======########========####
Jordan's POV###=======########=======########========####
I had walked in on the bloody body of my best friend. Her just Staring at herself in the mirror. I was mortified.
When the ambulance arrived she was unconscious.
They said if I wasn't family I couldn't come with them but I told them I'm as close to family as she's got.
They let me on the truck.
#######=======#######=======#######=======#######=======
Noelle's POV#######=======#######=======#######=======###
"Mam what's her name?" Asked a very soothing Female voice.
"Noelle Reaper."
Jordan
I could hear the tears in her voice.
"How old is she?" the voice asked again
"seventeen"
Plish Plish Plish
I could hear a liquid hitting the ground.
"How long has she been unconscious?"
"Five minutes."
"Mam I'm afraid after this much blood loss she might not make it. But we'll do everything we can."
I heard sharp breathes from beside me as I slowly directed back out of consciousness.
#######=======#######=======#######=======#######=======
JE'S POV=======#######=======#######=======#######=======
Holy shit she might not make it.
The realization made me cave inward.
She might bot make it.
When we arrived at the hospital all I could do was keep up with the nurses and doctors as they took her to the emergency room. Luckily the cuts hadn't been infected but the had to put stitches in her.
She was hooked up to a heart monitor and IV drip at all times as the doctors worked.
Noone came but me and all I could think about was that I never got to tell her how I felt.
"Holy shit Noelle. Please wake up. Please. I love you so much you don't know how much I love you. Wake up." I whispered.
A day passed and Jess and Jason were by my side. Comforting me telling me everything would be alright when they had no idea wether or not it would be.
Then a familiar face came through the hospital room doors.
"No. Get the fuck out." I said.
"Who are you?" She asked confused and irritated.
"I'm her best friend you idiot now leave."
Jessica looked at me like I was insane and Jason was taken aback.
"I know who you are your her mother now yeet the fuck out. You've never done anything but hurt her. Leave." I stood up.
"But like you've said I'm her mother." She added a nervous laugh at the end.
"Your not even a relative to her anymore she fucking hates you. Ever since her sister died all you did was let her father hurt her."
"I was trying to protect her."
"By what? Keeping her trapped in a house with a psychopath? And being a emotionally manipulative Bitch? Forcing her to rely on you for food and shelter? Not letting her be her own being?"
"I was trying to protect her from people like you." She snarled.
Walking to Noelle's bedside and sitting down.
That was the last straw. I blew up.
"Get.The.Fuck.Up. You Lying Manipulative Bitch. You've done nothing but hurt her. You've done nothing but fucking emotionally torture her since she was TWELVE. GET UP AND LEAVE . "
She looked at me and Jess rested a hand on my shoulder.
"Jordan nows not the time."
"JESS NO. You LISTEN TO ME. THIS WOMAN HAS HURT MY BESTFRIEND ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. YOUVE DONE NOTHING BUT CAUSE HER PAIN AND I WILL NOT STAND BY WHILE SHE GETS HURT AGAIN." I turned to Noelle's mother
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE."
"Why does she matter so much to you? She never does anything right."
This time Jess spoke up.
"Oh Hell yes she has. She became friends with my sister. And she ran the fuck away from you. Leave." Jess never spoke like that to anyone. But she had just told Noelle's mother off.
Jason just stood there astonished but then his expression changed to anger.
"Mam please leave."
Then a nurse walked in.
"MS.Reaper is there a problem?"
"Yes these three aren't letting me see my daughter."
"MS. If I may." Said Jason.
The nurse nodded.
"according to my wife and her sister. This woman emotionally and physically abused her daughter. Noelle ran off because her mother took the last straw and threw her career as a gamer out the window. Literally throwing her computer and monitor out of the window. Noelle is Jordan here's best friend. She wouldn't lead her astray. She's like family. To all of us."
the nurse nodded. "MS.Reaper I will ask you to stay here. But when Noelle wakes up. If she asks you to leave you must do so. Otherwise security Will forcibly excuse you from the premises."
Noelle's mother scoffed. Storming out of the room.
"Thank you for informing me of this situation." The nurse said attending to Noelle.
When Jess and Jason left I couldn't make myself move. I couldn't leave her side.
"You can't die on me Noelle." I whispered into the darkness of the room. "I never even got to tell you I love you."
I couldn't fall asleep all night. Instead I watched me and her YouTube videos. The lore of the Bees and Trees was simple.
Water nymphs, Tree nymphs , Humans, Demons , and Angels were all the characters and basically the story line was named the city of daemons.
The demons and humans were at war for years before the princess had escaped and well. It was gonna take them a while to get back to their home but they'd manage.
I smiled at the memories. Realizing if Noelle died we could never finish the storyline. Just like her life. It would never be finished.
I started crying again. Holding onto the memories for dear life. All the times I flirted with her. Making her think it was a joke when really I was just scared to admit it. Now I regret never telling her.
I stayed up the entire night. Eventually just scrolling through her Twitter posts. Already missing her voice.
And seeing her sleep like she was now. Didn't seem cute. It terrified me realizing she might never wake back up again. My hand clutching hers.
I squeezed four times.

One two three four
Do you love me?

No response.

One two three four
Do you love me?

Again no response.
This time I squeezed her hand three times.

One two three.
I love you.

And again.

One two three
I love you.

"Noelle I love you." I said into oblivion.
Her heart beat picked up.
"I- i- love you to Jordan."
Then her heartbeat went back to normal.
And for the first time in Five years I slept well with the thought that I loved my best friend.
