*Trigger warning. Skip if you need to.*

I kissed the scars on her skin,
Still think you're beautiful,
And I don't ever wanna lose my bestfriend,

Pierce The Veil blasted through my headphones until Bailon snatched one out. "I'm leaving soon." I nodded and turned back to my sketch pad. "Aren't you gonna say bye?" I nodded and wrote goodbye, Bailon. I love you. on my sketch pad. "You've gone mute again. This is bad, really bad." I nodded, ya think? I woke up and couldn't talk. Bailon sighed, "You can talk, you're just choosing not to." I nodded, yep. Got a problem with that? He nodded and hugged me tight. "Please don't go back to this, Bunny. I love you with every fiber of my being. I'm doing this, all of this, for you. I hate seeing you so broken, but only you can control that part of yourself. Bye baby sis." I chocked up on tears, "Bye, bubby." I whispered. I watched my brother walk away, yet again, taking my heart with him to war again. You're such a cry baby. 'That's why he keeps leaving you.' That one text killed me. I threw my phone and watched it shatter on the wall, tiny shards of glass scattering around the floor. "Help." I let the tears fall and sat with my knees to my chest and my arms around them. I grabbed my back-up phone and texted Bailon four words, Goodbye, I love you. That was it, I went to my bathroom and swallowed every pill I could find. Before long, I was laying on my floor struggling to keep my eyes open for even a few more minutes. "Stella!! Stella, look at me, please. No, no, no, stay awake. Stella!" I blacked out in Daniel's arms.

There was an extremely bright light in my eyes. I looked around but only saw white. "Hi, cutey." I jumped and turned to see a woman that strongly resembled Daniel. "H-hai." The woman smiled softly at me and held her hand out, "I'm Ellanah, Daniel's mom." I shook her hand and smiled back at her, "Stella." She nodded, "I know, I see how much you affect my baby boy." I scrunched my face up, "Pardon?" Ella nodded, black hair falling around her shoulders. "He won't admit to this, but he needs you. That boy worships the ground you walk on and would die protecting you." I teared up, "And I'll never get to see him again now. Bailon would hate me if I was still there." Ella frowned, "Come, child. I've lots to show you." I took her outstretched hand and followed. "Close your eyes and imagine being there next to your bed." I did as told and when I opened my eyes I was standing opposite of Bailon and Daniel, both clutching onto my body. "P-please, Stella, please wake up. We n-need you s-so much! I can't do this anymore." Daniel untangled himself and ran to the bathroom. I followed him and watched in horror as he got sick. He was already deathly skinny, like he hadn't eaten in weeks upon weeks. I touched his cheek and he leaned into the gesture. "I know it's you, mom. Help Stella get back to me, to us, please. I need her like I need air. I love her, mom. So much." He broke down again after that. I kissed his sunken in cheek, "I love you, too, Daniel. It won't be long now." I wiped his tears and stroked his hair. "I've gotta go now, but I'll see you again in a bit." Dani nodded and placed his hand on top of mine. "I love you, Stella." I grinned and blushed. "Love you, too, Dani." I went back to Ella and grasped her hand tightly. "I wanna go back, mom, please. Dani needs me, Bailon needs me, mom and dad need me..." I trailed off. "You made the right choice, angel. I'll be waiting for when you and my boy get old and gray to see either of you again, right?" I nodded furiously. "Good. I want grand-babies too!!" I blushed and groaned. "Later, ma. I still haven't woken up yet." She nodded and turned me to face the bright light again. "I love you." Her voice was just a whisper by now and I was falling into total blackness. "Stella! Daniel, get a nurse!" I squeezed the hand holding mine and heard a gasp. "Stella, squeeze again if you can hear me." I squeezed Bailon's hand harder this time and squinted my eyes a bit too. "Angel." Dani whispered. I smiled at the sound of his voice. "G-go eat." My voice was extremely scratchy and talking made my throat hurt. My eyes finally opened to see Daniel an inch from my face. "I love you, Angel." I bushed and pressed my lips to his. The kiss was innocent for about two seconds before getting needy. "Whoa! My eyes have been burned!" Dani slowly pulled away and sat back down in the chair next to me. I pouted at him and he groaned. "What?" I patted the space next to me on the lumpy hospital bed, signaling him to lay with me. "Someone's clingy today." I raised a brow, "Says the one who was pleading for me to come back and got sick from crying so much." I sassed. "She owned you, Daniel." He nodded and kissed my hair. "Nothing new there." I snuggled into his open arms as he buried his face into my neck. "Please don't ever try and take your life again. You mean something to somebody, that somebody being a lot of people. The football coach wants to see you when you get better, said he wants to rethink you joining the team." I looked up at him, "I hate lairs more than anything, Daniel." He grinned, "I know, Angel." I shook my head, "Then why lie about something so special to me? Why, Daniel?" Bailon smirked at Dani. "He's not lying, Stells. He can't lie for sh*t." My hands flew up to my mouth, tears sprung to my eyes, "I-I'm gonna play?!" They both nodded, "And Daniboy is quarterback and captain, making you quarterback and co-captain of the Rebels. Soon as you're fit enough, that is." I buried my face into my quarterback's chest. "Sleep, Angel, we'll be here when you wake up." I nodded, "Love you, guys." They both kissed my head and reciprocated the phrase. I shut my eyes and welcomed the darkness.
