"Benji, please open the door, please...I don't wanna lose someone else that I love" victor sobbed as he slid down the door, remembering how his dad took his own life a little while after he came out and the separation from his mom
Inside the bathroom Benji stood in front of the mirror, tears streaming down his face as fresh blood droplets fell into the sink from the slits on his wrist.
"I wanna help you" Victor said standing up, but Benji didn't respond. He took the bottle of pills and poured half of it into his hands "Benji please" he banged on the door. He shoved some of the pills in his mouth and swallowed them along with the water he had
A broken sob escaped the boy's lips as he realized what he had just done.
He didn't want to die, he didn't want to leave Victor, he didn't want to leave his friends and family...
Minutes go by of victor yelling and He starts to feel the effects kick in. he felt lightheaded and nauseous. He stumbled to the door and unlocked it
Immediately, victor opened it and pulled the smaller boy into his arms "B-Benji, did you take those" victor asked, noticing the pills on the counter "H-help...please" Benji said as his vision started to go black.
Victor took out his phone as he sobbed and called 911
"my boyfriend. He...he took a bunch of pills- please, just help" he cried into the phone. The operator told him to remain calm and that help was on the way
Victors pov
Minutes go by and I heard the sirens coming from outside. I gently placed Benji down and ran downstairs to the front door where an ambulance was
I lead them all to the bathroom Benji was in and they lifted him up and placed him on the stretcher "would you like to ride with him?" One of the EMTs asked I nodded frantically and he helped me into the truck
"So what did he do?" One of them asked as the other injected something into his arm "what are they doing?" I asked ignoring the woman's question "he's just injecting naloxone into him. Basically what it does is wake him up so we can stable him and he can breathe properly" a moment later Benji's eyes opened and immediately lock with mine
"Okay, he's awake. Can you tell me what your name is?" He asked him "B-Benji" he said looking away from me and down at his lap "when's your Birthday?" he asked and benji paused for a moment "Uh...November 16, 2002" he answered as the EMT put an IV in his arm and the other one wrapped his other arm in a bandage "good. So what happened today?" he asked "I uh, I tried to kill myself" he said sadly "may I ask why?" Benji shrugged and looked at me "I don't know why, but I realized that I didn't want to die...I couldn't bare the thought of victor crying over me In this way" he motioned toward me
