Last chance (alt version)- we are the chptrs
————————————————————————It had been almost a week since the incident with Lilith and the drugs. After ashtray had taken her home and cleaned her up, she stayed the night, before he took her back to Suze's the next day.
He didn't want to leave her, but he had business, and it was some serious shit this time, according to him and Fezco anyway.
Lilith hadn't left her bed in 4 days. Of course, she did to go to the bathroom, but that was it.
She was in a major depressive episode. She didn't get them often, but often enough for them to impact her life more than expected.
Ash, fez, rue and a few of their other friends had messaged and called her multiple times, wondering why the girl had just suddenly fallen off the face of the earth. But to answer that question, she'd need to find out why first, and that she did not know.
Suze had moved Lilith into the guest room, as there wasn't enough room in Lexi and Cassie's room for a 3rd person, making it easier for Lilith to have her depressive isolation episode on her own.
No one understood why this happened. Why this was happening. Why Lilith had suddenly cut everyone off, and didn't show her face to anyone for days on end.
Lilith didn't sleep, she didn't shower, she barely ate. She just led in her bed, curtains drawn at all times, in the dark, occasionally crying, and going numb when she wasn't feeling sad.
Ashtray and fezco had had enough of waiting for the girl to call. They'd just showed up to Suze's house, asking about Lilith and where she was.
"She's having a depressive episode. Her parents had briefly informed me of them before she moved here. She'll have, I don't know, a week maybe, where she'll shut herself out, not leave her room, not eat, nothing, and she'll just isolate herself completely from the outside world. They said she was getting observed and tested for bipolar before she left, but they never got their results since she had to leave so abruptly." Suze said softly to the two boys, who were sat on her couch, listening closely to every word she said.
"Wait- so, you're saying she probably has bipolar?" Ash said, looking at fez before looking back up at Suze.
Suze just nodded, taking a sip of her wine before setting the large glass down on the table in front of them, sitting back on the couch she was on.
"How... how do we help her bruh?" Fez muttered, looking worried and sad at the news.
"We don't. We can't. She won't let us in. Trust me, me Lex and Cass have tried. We've tried so hard, but the most we can do is give her food every so often and leave, expecting her to eat it I guess." Suze said, concern laced in her tone as she shrugged softly.
"Do you uh. Do you mind if- if I go try talk to her? Maybe I could like. Say something that'll help her snap out of it or something." Ash suggested, and for the first time in ages, fezco was seeing the boy truly care for someone other than himself, his grandma and his brother.
