TW- suicide and mental health

*Skylar POV*

Skylar- I cant do this Keira * cried into Keira's shoulder*

Keira- can't do what darling? Talk to me

Skylar- I don't want to he here

Keira- its okay Skye

Skylar- its not *sobs* I don't know what's wrong with me

Keira- there's nothing wrong with you

Skylar- then why am I like this, why do I feel like this for no reason

Keira- mental health doesn't need a reason darling, it can happen to anyone at anytime

Skylar- I'm sorry

Keira- Skylar, do not every say sorry for feeling like this, there is nothing wrong with you, sometimes things like this will happen and that's okay, mw and Lucy are here for you every single step of the way. It is completely understandable, I mean after everything you've been through you're so strong.

Skykar- I love you Keira

Keira- I love you too Skylar

*knock  the door*

Keira- *looks at Skylar*

Skylar- it's okay Keira

Keira- come in

Lucy- hey, what's wrong?

Skylar- i had a break down, im okay

Lucy- are you sure?

Skylar- yeah, Keira helped me through it. I'm sorry I snapped at you both earlier

Lucy- don't apologise, just come to us next time

Skylar- ill try

Lucy came to sit next to us and cuddled up with us on my bed along with Narla. We just sat there for a while and I took it all in, this is my family and they care about me so much.

*Keira POV*

I went upstairs to check if Skylar was okay because we hadn't heard anything for a while. I knocked the door but got no reply so I went in, its not something we normally do but Skye always answers when we knock so something is wrong.

I pop my head round the door and see Skye sat on the floor with her head in her knees whilst she's sat in the floor against her bed.

My heart breaks to see her like this and it breakd even more after the conversation we had. She said that she didn't want to be here. I know she doesn't mean in this house because she's always telling us that she loves it here with us. But that means that she means she doesn't want to be here in this world. I don't know what to say that's going to help her and I feel so useless because there's nothing I can say that will change her mind.

Once I tell her everythings okay and that were here for her and I manage to get her on the bed, there's a knock on the door. We know it's Lucy but I don't want to tell her to come in if Skye doesn't want her to. I look down at Skye and she tells me it's okay so I tell Luce to come in. She joins us on the bed and it just feels right, even though Skye just had a breakdown and is just calming down, it feels like we're a proper family.

I don't mention anything about what Skylar told me because I dont know whether she wants Lucy to know yet and I don't know how Lucy will react to hearing that her daughter is having suicidal thoughts. I think I just need to be there for them both throughout this whole thing, which I will be.

I do decide to go check on Skye halfway through the night, I open the foor a crack and Skye has her fairy lights on and is reading her book.

Keira- *whispers* you okay?

Skylar- yeah, come in

Keira- *sits on the bed*

Skylar- whats up?

Keira- couldn't sleep so I thought I'd come check on you

Skylar- youre worrying aren't you?

Keira- yeah *quietly* I feel bad

Skylar- why?

Keira- because I can't help you, if I could take all the pain away, I would do it in a heartbeat

Skylar- I know Keira, I know. Im sorry you had to hear it all, I really am *looks down*

Keira- im not

Skylar- *looks up at Keira confused*

Keira- I don't want you to go  through it alone Skye, I want to help you

Skylar- but you shouldn't have ti Keira

Keira- Skye, you went through this alone, for years. Let me help you

Skylar- did you tell Lucy?

Keira- no, I wouldn't, not without your consent

Skylar- thank you

Keira- no need, if you like we can tell her together

Skylar- yes please

Keira- what you reading?

Skylar- the hunger games

Keira- I remember reading that when I was your age, good book. Have you spoke to any of the girls lately? I noticed they were talking in the group earlier and you didn't say anything

Skylar- oh my god! No! I haven't, I turned my phone off when I came upstairs.

Keira- it's okay I'm sure they'll understand

Skylar- you don't understand, I didnt talk to Hannah all day yesterday and she was worried about me, she must be going crazy

Keira- don't worry too much, wheres your phone now?

Skylar- on the drawer

Keira- *passes Skylar her phone*

Skylar- 7 missed calls, I better text her back

Keira- why don't you invite her over for dinner tonight

Skylar- would that be okay?

Keira- yeah we'd love to meet your crush

Skylar- what- how did you-

Keira- the way you talk about her Skye, we knew from the first day you were talking about her, Lucy clicked first, I mean, after all, a mother always knows

Skylar- everyone says that!

Keira- anyway, I best be getting back to bed. Don't stay up too late

Skylar- I won't, I'm going to send this message and go to sleep

Keira- alright, goodnight

Skylar- night, love you

Keira- love you too

*messages*

2:47am- Skye- Hannah, im so sorry, its been a really busy day today, I'm okay though, just been speaking to Keira and she suggested that I invite you over for dinner, would you like to join us? Xx

2:49am- Hannah- oh my god, Skye I've been so worried! I'm so glad you're okay, I would love to join you xx

2:53am- Skye- great see you later xxx

*end of messages*

After saying goodnight to Skye I went back to bed, im glad we had that talk, it gave me a little bit of a peace of mind, she seems to be okay now but obviously depression can affect a person at any time. I hope she decides to tell Lucy soon because I think it might be easier for her to not have to hide it. She shouldn't have to feel like a burden, she's not at all. She's such an amazing girl and I just hope she realises that.
