Hurt. (A Rhett and Link Fanfic)

Chapter 12

WARNING! THIS CHAPTER WILL HAVE AN EASY TRIGGER! You have been warned.

Link's POV

I heard some ruckus coming from the dressing area and I saw Ian rolling on the floor holding his nose.

"Whoa, Ian! What happened!?!" I asked.

"Your best friend, that's what happened!" He said. Anthony came running over. He gave Ian a hand and lifted him to his feet.

"Why would Rhett punch you?" I asked.

"Well...that's not important but he punched me!" He said.

"It is important, what did you do?" Anthony asked. Ian shook his head and walked off. He left the building and got a cab I'm guessing.

"What did Ian do this time." Anthony said to himself before leaving outside. I sighed and decided to leave. I got my stuff and just left, leaving all the crew members behind. I remember how Katherine would always hold my hand while I drove. I felt a tear fall out of my eye. I wiped it away and pulled into my drive way. I got out of my car and went in our house, but I was alone. I pulled out a beer from the fridge. I miss her so much. I can't live without her. I ended up drinking atleast 17 beers. I stopped counting after that though. I starting getting suicidal thoughts. I looked at the clock and it said 12:34. I called Katherine.

"Hello?" She asked sleepily.

"Kathe *hiccup* rine. I can't live without you so, I can't live at all." I said.

"What?" She asked.

"Who is it?" I heard Rhett ask sleepily.

"Its Link." She said. "And what do you mean, Link??"

"I'm going to kill myself." I said before hanging up. I ran upstairs and pulled all the pills out of the cabinet. I grabbed a bottle of beer from downstairs, I ran back upstairs and put one bottle of pills in my mouth and took a swig of beer. I put another one and another. I was about to open another bottle when I blacked out.

Katherine's POV

I raced down to Links house in Rhett's car. I didn't tell Rhett, I just jumped out of bed and grabbed my phone. I jumped out of my car and opened the door. Locked. Damn. I remembered that I actually have a key. I quickly unlocked the door. I ran in the house.

"LINK!?!" I screamed.

"WHERE ARE YOU??!!!!!??" I screamed again. I ran upstairs and saw the bathroom light on. I quickly ran in and saw Link passed out with opened and unopened bottle of pills. I screamed and started crying. I dialed 911.

"911, what's your emergency?" A nice lady asked.

"My ex tried to kill himself with pills and now he's passed out." I replied panicked.

"Mam, calm down. Make him puke and we will send an ambulance over right away." She said.

"Ok, thank you." I said through the tears. I hung up and brought Links head over the toilet. I stuck my finger down his throat and made him puke. I did it 4 more times, just to be safe. I still loved Link, even if he thought I didn't. I laid his head down on my lap. I saw a tear fall off of my face and on to his. I wiped it away gently with my thumb. I then started to pet his bangs with my hand

"WHERE ARE YALL?" I heard some guy yell.

"We're up here!" I yelled back. I heard them run upstairs and they asked me to step back. They picked Link up and carried him out to the ambulance I was quickly following behind. I got in the ambulance and held tight of Links hand as they put the breathing mask on his face. I got my phone and called Rhett.

"Katherine where the fuck are you!?" He asked panicked.

"I'm in an ambulance with, Link." I said, still crying.

"WHAT!?!" He yelled.

"He ate bottles of pills." I said my heart pounding faster.

"Oh my god. I'm on my way to the nearest hospital!!!" He said before hanging up. I looked down at Link. He looked so pale.

"I love you, Link. Please don't leave me..." My voice trailed off as a new wave of tears came in, and invaded my face.

"What was this mans name?" The paramedic asked.

"Um, Charles Lincoln Neal the lll." I replied drying and trying to keep the tears off of my face. I stroked his hand with my thumb. We finally arrived at the hospital and I ran by his jumper till they went through some doors and a nurse pulled me back. I pushed them away and ran through the doors to be pulled back by a pair of arms I knew to well.

"Rhett, I love him. I don't want him to die!" I said breaking down and falling on my knees. He came down to my level and whispered "Its ok. I'm just as scared as you are." I nodded and he picked me up bridal style and sat me on his lap in the waiting room, in a chair. I looked up at Rhett. He had red eyes and his beard looked damp, he looked adorable and really sad. I kissed him and put my head back down on his chest. He began to stroke my hair gently and I smiled sadly. The only reason Link is here is because of me.

"Rhett?" I asked.

"Yea?" He replied curiously.

"This is all my fault." I said.

"What? No.. No its not." He said.

"Yea because if I just showed a little more love to Link, he wouldn't have cheated and if he didn't cheat..he wouldn't be in there. Dying." I said. Around the end of what I said I began to hold my tears in but ended up letting it all out.

"No. Katherine don't say things like that." He said. I loved him so much. I'm so lucky to have him. I nodded and laid my head down on his chest.

"Why dont you go to sleep? If anything happens I'll wake you up." He said. I nodded and closed my eyes. I slowly and painstakingly fell asleep.
