⚠︎Warning⚠︎: Attempt of overdosing

Midnight

Paintbrush's Pov
I tried to sleep but Insomnia hit hard for me as a kid, it still does... I guess I have to take my sleeping pills...

But what if I didn't have to deal with this? What if I could end it all? I just have to overdose but instead, make sure I die...

No, I'm not suicidal, I'm not sad, I'm not hurting on the inside...

Stop lying to yourself, Paintbrush, this is why you took those stupid happy pills...

I walked to the bathroom, and found nothing.

They must've taken the pills from me for evidence...

I checked in the pockets of my coat, and I found the sleeping pills, and happy pills I brought from the grocery store, I gulped down 7 pills of each.

I started to feel lightheaded, I knew this was it for me, I would be somewhere down in hell.

I won't let you die on my watch..

Why, I thought you wanted me dead?

You're not like the others.. you have a special ability, you can make fire from your bristles. I need you to be on my side. You could be my assistant, you could do the killing, and we'd be the strongest team ever!

No, I won't kill someone with my ability, I should use it for something useful, not for something murderous.

Welp, if that's how it's going to be, then be it, I'll do it myself...

All of a sudden I felt like collapsing. My eyesight felt like it was losing itself, my legs felt like it was on stilts. I felt like...-

Fan's Pov
Test Tube and Lightbulb we're talking about throwing away the pills, and then talk to Paintbrush about why they took them and never told us.

Thump

I heard something fall to the ground, or maybe Paintbrush just bumped into something..

I rushed into Painty and my room to see if they had bumped into something, but no, they didn't... They were the one who fell to the ground..

"PAINTBRUSH, WAKE UP!!" I yelled.

Then, Test Tube and Lightbulb barged in the room.

"What are you yelling for- WHAT HAPPENED TO PAINTY!?" Lightbulb screamed.

"I'll get Oj! You both have to make sure they're still alive and not dead.. okay?" Test Tube instructed.

"Okay." Lightbulb and I say in unison.

We shook Paintbrush as violently as we could until they finally spoke.

"What? What's going on..?" They asked.

"You collapsed on the floor, what happened?" I questioned them.

I could see them, their nervousness.

"What did you try to do?" I asked again.

"I- I was just overthinking again- I didn't know that it would stop me from dying." They mumbled.

"You tried to kill yourself!? But why?" Lightbulb asked.

"I just thought that, if I killed myself, I wouldn't have to deal with- nvm I just felt tired." They replied.

"Well, please don't do it again, for me?" Lightbulb asked.

"Okay.." they responded.

Lightbulb smiled, she was probably glad that they agreed instead of arguing about it.

I was happy too.

Then Test Tube entered the room and there was Oj.

"What happened?" Oj asked.

"We're fine now, thanks for asking, though!" Lightbulb assured.

"Welp Lightbulb, it's time we head off to bed." Test Tube said to lightbulb.

"Okay, goodnight Fan and Painty!" She smiled.

"Goodnight!" I say.

"Goodnight." Painty mumbled.

Midnight
I brushed my teeth and headed to bed but I couldn't sleep for some reason, maybe I don't feel like sleeping?

"Paintbrush?" I ask.

"What?" They respond.

"Could you sleep with me? I can't sleep." I asked.

"Uhm- sure." They reply.

As they got onto my bed, I could feel their body heat, it was warm, Lightbulb was right, they are like a warm living heater.

A/N: That's it for today, I can't get another page going, I'm losing more motivation every single day that's passing by, I'll try to get more motivation though, Have a good day!)
