Broken-chapter 3

Later on Frankie came in my room and checked on me. He shook trying to wake me but I wouldn't budge. He kept trying to wake me, vigorously shaking me hoping I was just really tired. After a little while, he gave up.

"Ariana come on! Wake up!" He said as a tear rolled down his cheek.

He looked next to me. He saw the container of pills, opened and half finished.

"No, ariana," he said quietly, tears streaming down his face.

Beside me, I had my phone. It was vibrating and the screen was lit up, I had 10 new messages. He opened them and they were Lexi, she had texted me hours ago while I was taking pills.

It read "ariana I'm sorry!" She texted me about 5 times saying she was sorry "ariana?" The one message read. One of them said "ariana? Please answer! I know your mad I would be too but u have to understand it wasn't me! I mean it was but it was a dare I don't know what I was thinking they forced me to I didn't know it would hurt you! Come on answer!"

Frankie looked at me and tears still rolled down his face. He couldn't believe i actually did it. I'd always tell him how tough life was and said i would commit, but he never knew i actually had the guts to, he thought i was stronger than that. After my dad died a few years ago and my mom was diagnosed with cancer, everything suddenly changed. Its like i wasn't the same person. I could always handle those harsh words, my dad was always a lot of help. Its like my life went downhill from there, fast.

A few minutes later I moved a bit. I woke up, confused and dizzy. I didn't really remember what happened. I could barely stand. I started throwing up from taking too many pills and passed out again for a few minutes. I was pale as a ghost and I was really dizzy. I was confused, I didn't exactly know what was going on. Frankie decided to show me the message and I started crying. I replied "Lexi I'm sorry but u can't take it back if u were a real friend you wouldn't do this in the first place. I took half a container of pills I'm basically out. I hope ur happy" I suddenly threw up again, and i was still white as a ghost. He told me to try to get up. I couldn't move. He started to get really worried and took me to the hospital since I could barely move. When we got there, they brought me to a room where they ran a few tests.

"Her chances of living don't look very good," they told Frankie.

Tears started falling down Frankie's face and I felt awful. They brought to my room and in the bed next to me I saw someone familiar. Someone with light brown hair and a small figure, just like Lexi. It was Lexi. She had puffy eyes and red arms. She looked over, crying and gave me the "I'm sorry" look. Maybe she meant it. Maybe she really was a great friend. I looked at her arms and legs. Covered in scars.
