Alex's P.O.V...

"Oh my god! Jack! I-" I cut myself off because of what I saw. Marshall and Beth. They're laughing, here, at the fair, together. I grabbed Jack's wrist and turned the other way. Oh come on, Alex, they're just friends. Unless..

"Hey, we should pet the bunnies!" He squealed, like Beth. I looked at the bunnies and nodded. "Yeah, we should, I guess." I said. He walked to the woman, grabbing the tickets, so we could get inside the pen.

"MARSHALL! OMG I CANT BREATHE! WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS!" I heard Bethany scream from somewhere nearby. Ignore it, Alex. "Take a picture of me with the bunny, Alex." He said, handing me his phone. I tapped the button and handed it to him.

"Thanks, aren't you gonna get a pic with a bunny?" He asked, pouting. I nodded, handing him my phone, and grabbing the bunny. I smiled for the picture. "Here you go, where to? Oooh, we should go on the one where the wheel spins while you stand up." He said happily. I wonder if he does have a thing for Beth.

"Jack, do you have a thing for Beth? Like, I saw you guys kissing." I asked. He shrugged, looking down. What? What does that mean? "You don't?" I asked, shockingly. He shrugged. I stopped him. "Seriously? You kissed her because you know she loves you and that's it?!" I asked angrily.

"I don't know. I-I-" I cut him off "No! Why would you do that?! Are you fucking kidding me?!" I yelled. People started staring because of how loud I was yelling. "I think I do. She's pretty and nice. And her personality too." He said. I want to slap him in the face really hard, but this is just wrong.

Bethany and Marshall passed by us, eating cotton candy. "Hey, Marshall and Beth!" Jack yelled. Are you kidding me? I didn't want them to see us. They turned around and walked towards us.

She looked at us. "Hey." She said. She doesn't seem so happy about it. Oh. Does she not wanna see us? "Hello. And goodbye. We're gonna go on the Ferris wheel." Marshall said to us. Beth gave him a terrified look. "O-on the Ferris wheel?! Marshall, I'm gonna die." She said. But he took off with her before she started ranting about the things that could happen on the Ferris wheel.

"Okay. Was it me or did she not seem happy about seeing us?" I asked Jack, confusingly. It was probably just me. "She didn't seem happy about seeing us." He answered. Wow, ouch. That hurts.

"Oh.." Is all I said. I felt really hurt and sad now. My own best friend doesn't want to see me. Jack gave me a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry." He said, soon after. I pushed him away and ran after them. "Beth!" I yelled, really really loud. Louder than I intended. She turned her head towards me and looked. "h-hey!" She yelled back, as Marshall kept dragging her.

I grabbed her wrist and she sucked in a breath. Marshall tugged harder and turned to her. His eyes fell on me. "Hey! I need a partner to go on rides with, you know?" He says, laughing a little. Oh. "I'll just go with Jack. You guys have your couple time." Beth said, pulling her arms. She walked away and got lost within the people.

Bethany's P.O.V...

This is great. I finally got him off of me. Now I can do this. I'll be alone. At last. I can finally go rot 6 feet underground. My phone rang.

"Bethany!"

"What?"

"Where are you?"

I hung up. Now's the perfect time. I ran out of the fair and went to my hotel room. I locked the door and looked for my blade. Where is it? Oh! I opened the little box and saw a note. Jack is calling, but I'm ignoring.

Bethany,
I flushed down all of your blades because I don't want you to hurt yourself. I'm sorry, but yeah. Call me, if you ever feel like killing yourself or cutting.
-Marshall

Oh my god! Well, what now? What do I do? I can't call him. What do I do? What do I- pills. Pills, I have them. I dig for them in my bag. Jack keeps calling. I sigh. No me, no problem. He stopped calling for at least 2 minutes before all three of them started calling me. Seriously Jack?

I have to take them before it's too late. I swallowed one pill. This one's for being stupid.

Second pill, for being worthless.

Third pill, for being useless.

Fourth pill, for being ugly.

Fifth pill, for being annoying.

Sixth pill, for being fat.

Seventh pill, for being a waste of space.

Eighth pill, for those who want me gone.

Ninth pill, for not being good enough.

Tenth pill, for my blades.

Eleventh pill, for me.

And the twelfth pill, for my demons.

After those 12, I started swallowing 12 more. 24 pills. I put the pill bottle back in my bag. The calls don't stop though. They keep going. I start crying. Why didn't I call Marshall?

a few minutes later...

There was knocking on my door, still the calls not stopping. I started feeling drowsy. "Bethany! Bethany! Open the door!" One of them yelled. Are they here? "I'm gonna go get the person from down there so they can give us a spare key." I heard someone else say. Why are they even banging on the door? They don't even know what's going on. Should I open it? Okay yeah, why not.

I stood up, woah. I felt a little dizzy. And tired. I unlocked the door and opened it. Again, I got punched, by the same person. I fell back. "Alex!" he yelled.

"It's fine." I said, laughing a little. They don't even know. "Why don't you answer your phone?! Why did you hang up on Jack?" He asks. I shrugged. I really don't know. "I'm so sorry." Alex said, repeatedly. I shrugged. "No worries. Or at least that's what I'm hoping." I said, cracking a smile. I felt more tired.

"I think that now's a good time to tell you." I said. They looked at me so worried. "I swallowed twenty-four pills." I said, holding up two fingers on my left hand and four on my right hand. Marshall quickly called the police or whatever.

"Please hurry up!" He screamed into his phone. My smile faded, and my eyes closed.

Alex's P.O.V...

No. No. "She fell asleep!" I screamed, shaking her body. Marshall shoved me away. "Stop! You've done enough." He said. He put his ear on her chest. Jack ran in. "Why didn't you tell me it was opened?!" He screamed. He looked at Marshall and her. The look in his eyes said it all. His heart just got shattered.

"Where is the problem?" The police and paramedics said. Marshall moved out of the way and pointed at Beth. "She swallowed 24 pills. I don't know what kind. But she said so. Please save her." Marshall said, trying to hold in his tears. They took her away and we all ran to the bus to follow them.

I lied my head on his shoulder and he pushed me away. Ouch. That really hurt. I burst into tears. Why is this happening? Why did she do this? She promised she wouldn't.

Jack's P.O.V...

Oh my god. Oh my god. She needs to live. She needs to. I need her to. Tears started streaming down my face. She can't go.

Marshall's P.O.V...

Why didn't I stop her? Why didn't she call me? Why did I let her run away from me? She promised she wouldn't go. She said it. I thought she wouldn't do it after how far she's gotten.

Random doctor's P.O.V...

I took the gurney to a room. "What's the problem?" I asked. Dr. Ben looked at the patient. "She swallowed twenty-four pills. I don't know how long ago. She fell asleep when we got to her. We need to pump them out as soon as possible, Dr. Bell." He said.

...

Alex's P.O.V...

Dr. Bell, his name-tag says, came to us. "Is she okay?!" I asked, quickly. I wiped my tears and stood up. Marshall and Jack stood up too with their eyebrows raised, tear stained cheeks.

I'm sorry OMG. I'm making this a lot about Bethany. Sorry, I can't help it. It will be more about Alex and Marshall soon. I promise. Bye!
