~~ Jaime's POV ~~

Her lifeless body laid there, still moving as she tried to uncap the bottle of prescription pills, she looked over to me as her wrists still bled. "NO!" She tried to turn around as she opened the bottle. I ran to her, grabbing the bottle spilling the pills onto the floor, "What did you do!? Why won't you just let me fucking die!?" she yelled as I stared at her. I held the bottle of pills in my hand.  

Mike runs over to her, he sits down next to her as she sobs into his chest. 

"Shh, shh... " He whispered as he tried to calm her down by rocking her back and forth. 

"I just want to die!" She cried out, "Let me die!" 

"No, baby, we won't let you die this way," Mike whispered as he kisses the top of her head, "This isn't the way." He tool a deep breath, "this isn't the way, baby girl." 

I look over to Tony who was on the phone with the 911 operator, "Yes, she um.." he cringed as the words came out of his mouth, he sits down on her bed touching the bridge of his nose, "She tried to commit suicide. Look can you guys please send paramedics right away?" He told the operator the address, "Okay, thank you." He hangs up as he stares at the scene that was taking place in the bathroom. 

Vic just stood and watched as he daughter begged for death, "We need to talk," I said sternly to him as I grabbed his arm but he wouldn't move. 

"I-I" He started off as he looked at me, I shook my head and pulling his arm, he finally follows me to the living room, "I knew something was up." He stutters as he stares at his hands, "I just didn't know what... I didn't know how to ask her and it angered me that I didn't know how to be a freaking father to my own daughter!" He ranted as he hit the wall with his fist. He stood there staring at the wall, the small dent that the wall now had. 

I sigh, "I knew we should have told you when she first told us." 

"That's right! You should have! You should've fucking told me when you first found out but instead, you kept it a secret! How could you!? I'm your best friend, Jaime! She's my fucking daughter I should know these things!" He stated as he waved his hands around to pour out his emotions, words that couldn't be said. 

"I'm sorry, Vic! I was told not to tell you!" 

"By who!?" I remained quiet, "Oh my gosh." Tears brimmed in his eyes, "She told you not to tell me." 

Tony came running down the stairs with Mike right behind him, who had Sophia in his arms, she was unconscious. Tony opens the door as Paramedics come rushing in, "There's a gurney outside!" A paramedic says as he takes Sophia from Mike. 

"Tony, go with her. You too, Mike. I need to speak to Vic alone," I say as I hold Vic back from going with his daughter. 

"I should be with her!" Vic yells as Tony and Mike follow the paramedics out. 

"You should but you are angry and confused about this whole situation so you need to know everything before you can be with her." 

He sighs in defeat, "She should be the one to tell me!" He said as tears poured out of his eyes. 

"She can't tell you because she has no idea how to tell you when her mouth will only send out cries for help instead of explanations." 

He just shook his head and sat down on the couch, "I promised myself I wouldn't let anything bad happen to her," he whispered. 

I sat down across from him, "It was her second day of school.." He looked up at me, "and some girls wrote some horrible things on her locker, she went to class ignoring it, trying to act strong. But the voices inside her head were... well you know." He nods, "She ended up yelling 'stop' in front of the whole class, out of embarrassment she ran out of the school and went to Jessica's." 

"Wait, I thought she left because she was on her period?" He asks 

I shook my head, "Jessica was only covering for her... Now please don't be mad at Jessica she didn't know what to do." 

He nods, "Okay, keep on." 

~~ Vic's POV ~~

Jaime kept on as he told me everything about the horror story that was my daughters past. From when she was abused, molested, raped, bullied, when she began to have an eating disorder when the doctor prescribed her antidepressants but her mother sold them for money, when she was even sold by her own mother, and when she began to injure herself. I could have prevented all this from happening. I wish I could go back in time to change the past and prevent it all! 

I stared at my hands and sigh, "I should have prevented it all." 

"Vic, come on. We both know that you had no idea about her mother keeping the pregnancy in the first place! You thought she got an abortion to remember? Remember you told me you were angry with her so you broke up with her! So don't blame yourself for this because it isn't on your hands it's on that woman who shouldn't even be called her mother! A woman who put her in harm's way! So you can not blame yourself for not preventing Sophia's past because it already happened. All we can do is make a better future for her now," Jaime says placing a hand on my shoulder

"But she just tried to kill herself! I was being such an asshole father to her because I was angry with myself for not knowing what was going on with her! When I should have asked her myself in the first place! Now she is in the hospital right now and I have no idea if she is dying, dead or alive." 

"Vic, You need to talk to her. She needs you. Kids at school have been bullying her, even some of our fans." 

"I knew I should have home-schooled her when she asked." I silently cry into my hands, "I need to see her, Jaime! I have to see my baby and hold her and protect her like I said I would! I need to get my shit straight!" 

Jaime nods as he stands up, "Let's go then." 

EDITED!
