Aliah's * POV *
I was sitting on the bed next to Nash not knowing what to think. I got off of the bed and ran my hand through my hair. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Cameron was calling me. I stared at it for a second and then answered. " hello " I said. " Aliah I don't know what to do. I-I'm freaking out. " he said breathing fast. " Cameron what's wrong ? " I said. " it's Melina. I came to her house t-to apologize for what happened last night and I just found her in the bathroom. She's on the floor and there's an empty bottle that had pills in it in her hand and Aliah I don't know what to do. I-I can't breathe " he said.

Oh my god. " Cameron call the ambulance now ! I'm coming ! " I said hanging up the phone. I grabbed my messenger bag, pulled up my hair into a messy bun and grabbed Nash's hand. I pulled him out of the room and we went to JJs room. " Johnson I need your keys " I said. " sure why, what's happening ? " he said searching through his shorts looking for them. " Melina's at the hospital. We need to go now. " I said. " well we're coming with you " he said. Jack G got up and nodded. I nodded. " come on I'll drive " JJ said.

We all went down the stairs when we saw Matt sitting on the couch. " come on you're coming with us " I said taking matts hand to pull him off the couch. " where are we going ?" He said. " I'll explain in the car. " I said. We all got out of the house and went to get in the car. I went to get in but I realized I had a death hold onto Nash's hand. I let go of it and quickly said " sorry ". We got in the car and saw the ambulance zoom past the house.

Cameron's car raced right after it. Jack G went right behind Cameron's car. I explained what happened to everyone and they were really worried. I am too. Why would she do this?

We finally got to the hospital and raced inside. " Melina Calhouns room please " I said quickly. " room 127 floor 4, but you can't go in. She just got here. " the lady at the desk said. I ignored her and ran up the stairs instead of taking the elevator. I finally found her room. She was laying in the hospital bed with IVs stuck in her arm. I covered my mouth and my eyes started to water.

I took my phone out and called Sammy. " Sammy. " I said with my voice shaking. " hey, what's wrong ? " he said. " Melina's at the hospital. She.... " I tried to say it but I couldn't. " what. What happened ! " he said. " she um, she tried to kill herself. " I said crying. He hung up the phone.

Melina's * POV *
After Cameron kissed me I raced after Sammy when he went outside. " Sammy let me explain. " I said. " Melina there's nothing to explain. You kissed Cameron. I get it. Am... Am I just not good enough for you? Is that it? Because this has happened twice now. And it won't happen again. I won't get hurt again. You know why? Because we're done. Forever. I'm never going to be with you again. I'm done. God you're such a slut. " he said and walked away.

I started crying. I walked home, went upstairs in my room, closed the door and locked it. God why does this happen. Everyone leaves. It wasn't my fault. Cameron kissed me and I tried to push him off of me. Sammy probably feels horrible. Why do I always hurt everyone. All I ever do is hurt people. And when that's not happening I'm getting hurt. I haven't told Sammy but on twitter I've been getting really bad hate on twitter. Things like telling me I'm ugly and I should just kill myself.

One night it really got to me. And I did what I've always done. I cut. When I was younger I got bullied a lot. I thought I've gotten better since then but I guess not. Aliah doesn't even know anything.

I tried to get on my phone to distract myself. But I just saw more hate.
I went to bed and woke up at 10:30pm. I still had the same thought in my head. All I ever do, is make people's lives worse. If I go now, everything will be so much easier. Ill be with my mom, my dad won't have to worry about me, and Aliah.... I don't know how she will take this but she's a strong person. I know she'll get through it. I wrote everyone a note and went in my bathroom. I grabbed a random bottle of pills and took all of them. I put my hands on the ends of the counter and tightly held on to it. About 30-45 minutes later everything went blurry and I was gone.

Aliah's * POV *
I was pacing back in forth. When I turned around I saw Sammy run up the stairs and look at Melina's room. He ran his hand through his hair. " oh my god. " he barely chocked out. I walked over to him. " Sammy-" I tried to say but he interrupted me." this is all my fault " he said. He started crying. " Sammy none of this is your fault. Ok? " I said. " yes it is. This all happened because of me. If I wouldn't have left her.... She would still be here. " he said putting his head down. I just hugged him. He hugged me back. He was sobbing. He cares so much for her. She has to stay. Or he will break down.

I pulled away. Nash ran up the stairs and walked to me. " I called her parents. " Nash said with his voice shaking. His eyes started to water. I pulled him into a hug. " I don't understand. Why would she do this? " he said. " shh I know. I know " I said tightly hugging him. I pulled away. " I'll be right back. " I said. I was walking to the bathroom when I saw Cameron sitting with his back against a wall and his head in his knees. I was going to just keep walking but I should at least see if he's ok.

I walked over to him. " hey " I said. He stood up fast. " hey " he said. I looked closely at him. His eyes were red. " have you been crying ? " I said. " no. My eyes are just watering. " he said. I looked at him with concern.

Cameron's * POV *
She looked at me concerned. I felt my eyes start to tear up about the thought of Melina. I tried to hold them back but they just came flooding out. I was crying... Really hard. Aliah put her hand on my arm. She hesitated but gave me a hug. Her arms were wrapped around my torso. I cried into her shoulder. " this is all my fault. " I said. " Cameron how is this your fault. " she said pulling away. " think about it. The day I kiss her and Sammy breaks up with her, I find her on the floor almost not breathing. " I said.

" no. That can't be it. She wouldn't do it just because Sammy broke up with her. She's going to wake up Cameron. " she said. I shook my head. " look at me " she said putting her hand under my chin and moving it towards her. " she will be ok. " she said holding my hand. I looked down at our hands together. She quickly pulled away. She patted my arm and walked away. I already missed her touch.

I walked to Melina's room and everyone was standing outside of it. Melina's step mom and dad were here. They looked at me. All of the boys came and gave me a hug. Except for Sammy. Which honestly I don't blame him. I was an asshole to think that I could kiss Melina and get away with it. I looked at Aliah and Nash and he was hugging her. It hurt me to see her in someone else's arms. " you guys she's waking up ! " Jack G said. We all looked at each other and walked into her room.
