y/n's pov
i wake up in a haze to my phone ringing. i check the clock on my nightstand. 3:07 a.m. who's calling me at this time? i pick up the phone and it's a number i don't recognize. i decline the call and try to go back to sleep.
i hear my phone ringing again from the same number. i let out a groan and answer. i hear slight sobs from the other end of the phone. what the hell?
"y/n? honey are you there?" i hear my best friend, destiny's, mom say.
"yea i'm here. is everything okay?!" i say in a worried tone.
"no. destiny tried to take her life. i found her in her bedroom with an empty bottle of pills. you need to come to the hospital now." her mom tells me, letting out another sob.
"oh my god. okay i'll wake up matt and we'll be there asap." i tell her in a shaky tone hanging up. i shake matt awake and he stirs but he doesn't wake up.
"matt baby wake up. we need to go to the hospital like now." i say shaking him more aggressively. he opens his eyes immediately and sits up.
"why? what happened?!" he says looking at me.
"no. destiny overdosed trying to take her life. we need to go." i say getting up and putting my shoes on and grabbing my purse.
"oh my god. okay let's go." he says and immediately gets up and grabs his keys.
we walk out to the car in silence. if you walked by us, you can feel the anxiety radiating off of the both of us. we get in the car and matt speeds off to the hospital. i start to bite my nails and bounce my leg.
"hey hey hey. everything's gonna be okay. she's with doctors. she'll be okay." matt says putting his hand on my leg. but i didn't miss the hopefulness in his voice.
we arrive at the hospital and i text destiny's mom asking where they are. she immediately responds, telling us their in the emergency room.
me and matt get out of the car and speed walk to the door. matt and destiny weren't close but that doesn't mean a thing right now. she's important to me so she's important to matt.
"hey. there's a patient here. destiny clarke. where is she?" matt asks the receptionist.
"she's in the operating room right now. you can wait in the waiting room right over there." she says, giving us a look.
i try to shake that off and i grab matts hand and we walk towards the waiting area. i see her mom sitting there by herself. destiny has you ger siblings. her mom probably left them home or something. they don't need to be here right now.
"oh honey thank god you're here. she had to have an emergency surgery. the doctors said she'll be out in about 2 hours." her mom says hugging both me and matt.
"okay. i guess we wait then." i say anxiously and sit down.
i start to bounce my leg again but matt puts his hand on it so i'll stop. i pick at my fingers and try to find things in the room to distract myself.
