I woke up. Wait how did I get here?! I'm meant to be dead. I'm not sure where I am. "Jack?" I heard someone calling to me. It sounded strangely like Alex.

"Alex?" I asked. I'm confused what is happening?

"Jack what the fuck did you do?" Definitely Alex.

"I'm sorry. It just kind of.. You know, happened" I said as I burst into tears.

"Hey shhh baby it's all gonna be okay" he said as he hugged me and held me tight.

"Alex I didn't go to therapy"I choked through my tears.

"What? You go to therapy? You do this often? Jack please tell me why" he sounded so desperate.

"Well it all started when my dad became and alcoholic and started abusing me and my mum. We left him and moved here, to Baltimore. I thought everything was getting better I had a boyfriend and it was great. Then it all got worse, he left me because I was apparently cheating and I hadn't spoken to another guy that liked guys for months. I just started doing it, it helped. My mum found out and sent me to therapy every Wednesday. The weekend when I did it again, I had no one. Just like before. I'm sorry" I cried.

"Promise me you'll go to therapy and tell me whenever anything goes wrong?" He said sternly.

"I promise" I said.

We sat on my hospital bed for hours just watching movies and talking about random stuff.

"Jack Barakat?" A nurse asked.

"Yep that's me" I said.

"Well you're physical state is fine but you need to attend therapy twice a week from now on, you'll get a phone call explaining everything. Have fun" she said and left the room.

"Great let's pack your things and go" Alex said and started shoving my stuff into my bag.

"Alex" I said

"What's up?" He asked.

"Get rid of this" I handed him my blade.

"Sure. Come with me, you need to see it go" he said and I followed him to the toilets. He dropped it in and flushed it before I could say stop.

"There it's gone, all gone" he said and held me.

"Thank you Alex" I mumbled.

"It's okay. Come on let's go back home and get some rest. Want anything to eat?" He asked.

"Pizza!!!!" I squealed

"Haha let's get pizza then" he laughed and carried me to his car (Alex can magically drive don't question me)

When we got back we ordered Pizza and put some movies on. We fell asleep in each others arms and this moment was just perfect.
