We Can't(stepdadxstepdaughter)

Justine's POV

It's been almost a week since what happened at Daniel's happened. Now I see why Felix took their kids and fled back to Mississippi in when they were on tour. He was hitting her and possibly them.

I'm folding clothes when I hear glass break upstairs and walk upstairs and open the girls room, only seeing Sam and Chris in there, both sleeping, and check on David and Hayden, seeing that their both asleep.

I walk to the bathroom and open the door and see that the mirror is shattered and Melody laying in the tub and her wrist slashed.

"No!" I cry as I rush to her and pull her out of the tub, and see that she barely missed the main vein for a suicide.

I tape her wrist up with a rag and carry her downstairs, dialing for an ambulance.

They rush her to the hospital as Nel comes over to watch the other kids and I go with Melody.

At the hospital, they force me to wait in the waiting room while they stitch my daughter up.

After they're done, I'm allowed in and I grip Melody's hand as two people come in.

"Mrs. Kroeger?" One asks and I nod as I wait for Melody to wake up.

"I'm Dr. Raaven and this is nurse Reid. We're from the children's psych unit upstairs. Anytime there is an attempt on suicide or anything of the sort, we are to come down and assess." He says and I nod as they sit down.

"Alright, so with her trying to commit suicide at such a young age, we may need to admit her to our unit for a couple weeks to diagnose her with whatever is wrong." The doctor says and I nod.

"I have Borderline Personality Disorder. I was 14 when I was diagnosed after I attempted to kill myself by jumping front the apartment complex I lived in at the time." I say and he nods.

"Alright, well it's very possible that she may have inherited it. Now, if you will sign this paper, once she is deemed medically cleared, she will be admitted to our Children's Unit." He says and I nod as I sign it, not wanting my daughter to go through what I had to with BPD.

I wait with her until she wakes up and she looks around before closing her eyes.

I head home once she is taken to the fifth floor and see Chad making dinner and sigh.

"Hey baby! Where'd you guys go?" He calls as he holds Sam in his arms and I sigh.

"Mel-Melody tried to kill herself. I had to take her to he ER. She's been admitted to their children's psych unit for thirty days." I say and he sets Sam down as he pulls me into a tight hug as he kisses my forehead.

"I'm so sorry JJ. I should have been here." He says and I shake my head.

"I was able to do it, but her cries for me to make them let her go broke my heart." I say and he hugs me as he plates up dinner.

We all eat as a family and then he helps me get the kids to sleep.
