guisee ~ I'm updating more than I thought I would... But you guys don't mind, right ? ;D Leave a comment below for any suggestions, ideas, or whatnot :3
Tony's POV
"Laurie ... You promised...." Anger, sadness, and regret flooded my mind.
I remembered back in 2006 when the band was out to discuss important information with their record label. That night, everyone had gone out to drink, while I headed home to rest my already-aching-brain. The moment I stepped in the door, the air was heavy and drenched with a twisted passion for happiness that wasn't readily available in this world.
*Flashback*
Tony's POV
I called out "Laurieee!! Turtle's home!" But no response. I stumbled upstairs to check the rooms, but Laurie wasn't here, until I noticed a faint glow at the end of the hallway. It was the bathroom light.
Oh god please don't be what I think it is.
I found a seemingly lifeless and hollow shell of a body spread out on the floor surrounded in a puddle of blood. Oh god Laurie... What have you done ... I immediately slipped out my phone from my pocket and dialed 911.
"911, what is your emergency" A gentle female voice spoke.
"My best friend ... S-She tried to kill herself... Please help." I sounded desparate and hopeless, because in fact, I was. I gave the woman all the details, and an ambulance came here in no less than 10 minutes. Oh god please let her be alive.

Laurie's POV
"Shit ... Fucking bastard." I muttered under my breath as I realized I was in fact alive, and in a hospital room with a dazzling white light that glared at me with a surprisingly gentle luminance.
"Laurie? Are you awake?" I then realized I wasn't alone, and recognized the voice as Tony's. He must have found me in the bathroom...
"Yes Tony, sadly, I'm awake."
"Oh god Laurie you scared me half to death! Were you in your right mind?! You almost killed yourself Laurie!! Didn't you think of all your friends and family?!" I don't have any family, Tony. I thought. He stepped closer to me.
"Tony. My parents are dead." I felt a bit stoic now, like I had no emotions to feel anything anymore. I didn't cry. I didn't tear up. In fact, this slightly bothered me, but I guess I was growing to be a stronger person.
"Oh Laurie, I'm sorry babe ... I didn't know ..." Tony's eyes wandered to the ground below himself, and he seemed to mentally scold himself, only to inch close enough to hold my hand.
"It's okay Tony, I'll be fi-"
3 sweaty and out-of-breath boys burst into the room, not letting me finish.
"Oh my god Laurie!! What did you do?! Tony called and said you beat yourself up pretty bad, but I didn't know it would be like this!" Jaime screeched. "Seriously honey what were you thinking? What would I do without you?! Did you even think about us Laurie?! How we would have felt?" Vic yelled, obviously enraged with me.
"Guys listen, I know it wasn't a smart move, bu-"
"Of course it wasn't a smart move Laurie!!" They all chorused. "You almost died!! Don't you understand the severity of that?!" Vic howled, not letting me finish again.
"I know, I know alright? And I feel bad, but I thought there was no othe-"
"No other way? What could have been so bad to make you kill yourself?!" My words had made Vic furious, and the guys were trying to calm him down. "You have us, Laurie! Your best friends! Were here when you need to talk to us, thats what best friends are for!"
"Vic let me finish before you start snapping at me again. My parents are dead, and my mother of course lost her 3 month year old fetus. I couldn't take it. Just please try to understand how I feel." The fire in his eyes had been doused by my words, and he rushed to my side.
"Laurie baby I'm so sorry... I didn't know..." He pleaded for forgiveness, and I didn't blame him. I would react the same way if someone I loved tried to leave me.
"It's okay Vic, don't worry about it. I'll be fine. Can I talk to Tony for a second? Alone?" He seemed a bit jealous, probably thinking why I would be talking to Tony and not him, but Tony saved me, and I hadn't gotten a chance to properly thank him.
"Sure. Come on guys, lets wait in the lobby." Everyone except Tony was escorted out of the room.
"Tony, I don't know how much I can thank you for saving me. You're a real hero."
"It's not a big deal Laurie, you would do the same for me, or any other person, right?"
"Haha yeah, of course I would. It means a lot to me, I just wanted you to know that." Tony once again sat beside me, and held my hand so gently, as if it would shatter due to the slightest pressure.
"Laurie, I don't know what life would be like if I didn't have you. Please don't do this to me again. Maybe one day me or one of the guys won't be there to help you ... I would just hate myself for the rest of my life. Just please ... Promise me you won't do this again." I stared deep into his eyes, noticing the honest concern and love that was present there.
"I promise Tony. I promise." He leaned in a gave me a gentle kiss on the cheek, and I embraced the little warmth and feeling of need it had to offer.
"Okay, well I'll catch you later. Feel better alright?" Oh god. I forgot I was in this dreaded hospital for a second. Jesus how long would I have to stay here? A week? A month?
"And I asked the doc if he could pull some strings and get you out of here as soon as possible. He said you suffered from extreme blood loss and he wanted to make sure you were stable. You'll be out in the next few days, don't worry." Wow. I was convinced Tony could read minds.
He exited the doorway, waving goodbye and flashing his cute, child-like smile. Once again, I was alone in this stark white room, but I was glad, since it gave me time to think through my wrongs and acknowledge my rights, if I even had any.
