Depression/ anxiety one shots

Quite a scare tw sh ⚠️

They called me at around 10 pm. I picked up and instantly knew something was wrong.

" Maria I just did something really stupid and I, I kinda need you. Could you come over like right now?" My friend Ellis said panicking.

" Yes, yes of course. I'm heading over right now. What did you do?" I asked as I got in my car to drive the couple blocks to their apartment.

" I relapsed. I'm so sorry." They said and my heart sank a little. I told them to call me before so I could help them, but they didn't call.

" No, no it's okay. Do I need to take you to the hospital?" I asked.

" I don't think so." They said as I pulled into their parking lot.

" Okay, well I'm coming into your building now, be there in a minute." I said as I was running up the stairs.

I got to their door and knocked. They let me in and I saw their arms.

" Oh hun." I said pulling them in for a hug as they started to cry.

" I'm going to take care of you, okay?" I said and they nodded.

I cleaned the cuts on their arms and then bandaged them up before helping them to their bed.

" You comfy?" I asked.

" Yes. Thank you so much." They said.

" You're welcome. I'm always here for you, just call." I said.

" Thanks." They said and I nodded.

" Hey Maria." They said.

" Yeah?" I asked.

" I think I was wrong." They said and they passed out.

I was shocked and noticed the blood seeping through their jeans and immediately dialed 911.

" Hello this is 911, what's your emergency?" The operator said.

" Hello, please sent help to 382 Rosehip Ave, my friend cut themselves and just passed out." I said panicking.

" Breathe for me. Help is being sent your way. What's your name and what's your friends name?" They asked.

" My name is Maria and my friend is Ellis." I said.

" Okay Maria, can you tell me if Ellis is breathing?" They asked.

I put my fingers on their neck to check their pulse. It was steady I thought. " Yes. I think their pulse is pretty steady." I said.

" Good, that's good. Can you tell me more about this situation. How long ago did Ellis cut themself, with what, and where?" They asked me.

" Um, I think about 25 minutes ago and I don't know with what, a blade I'd presume, um and both on their arms and thighs but their arms I cleaned and bandaged. I didn't know about the thigh cuts until they passed out and I saw the blood seeping through." I said trying to stay calm.

" Thank you Maria. That's helpful information to our paramedics. They should be there any minute now." The operator said.

The ambulance and cops showed up a minute later and instantly started to work on Ellis. A cop escorted me from the apartment and questioned me like the 911 operator did.

I answered best I could and the officer offered me a ride to the hospital which Ellis was already at, which I accepted.

When I got there I found out they were going to be okay and I could wait in the waiting room until I was told I could go see them.

About an hour later I was told I could go see them.

" Hey. You scared me so bad. Are you okay?" I asked walking into so the room.

" Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my thighs." They said.

" It's okay. I'm just glad you're okay." I said and hugged them.

" Thank you Maria." They said.

" No, thank you. Thank you for calling me." I said. " I'm proud of you."

They smiled and made room for me to sit with them in the bed.
