Luke's POV)

I watched as Elle looked at me with pain and fear in her eyes. Michael didn't mean what he said. He's just been under a lot of stress because of the gig on Friday.

I ran through the darkness trying to catch up to her, but she was way too fast. Even for me. I followed her all the way through the front door and up the stairs. I was hot and my lungs burned from how fast I was running.

She slammed the bathroom door shut and I frantically tried to turn the knob. I pushed and it wouldn't open. My heart dropped thinking about what she could do.

"Elle!" I screamed.

All I could hear was muffled noise and then that's when my heart stopped beating. I heard the rattling of a pill bottle and the water running.

"Elle baby please open the door!"

The more I screamed the more my body was sinking. After all my failed attempts I was rushing down the light brown stairs and panic had over taken my body.

I looked at Mrs. Clifford and she just looked confused. I couldn't speak so I pointed up the stairs, my heart breaking at the thought of what was happening, and motioned for her to follow me. I was a wreck right now, and I honestly have no idea what I'd do if Elle didn't live. I was beginning to feel sick to my stomach.

Mrs. Clifford finally rushed and got the door open with much force. As I looked into the bathroom I saw Elle on the floor with blood around her. I couldn't tell where the blood was coming from which cause my heart to drop, but I pulled out my phone sailing 911.

"Hello what is your emergency?"

"M-my girlfriend tried to kill herself," I choked out tears finally escaping my waterline and spilling onto my cheek.

"An ambulance is on its way now," the operator said and they hung up.

I fell to the floor and I was sobbing by now. I hugged my knees as the scene unfolded in front of me. The ambulance arrived and the paramedics pulled Elle out of the bathroom and into a stretcher as they pulled her out of the house.

Her mom pulled me up and dragged me with her out in front of the house. She pulled me into the ambulance with her as they frantically tried to save my girlfriends life. It was heart-wrenching to know she was slowly dying inside, but I didn't see it. How could I have possibly missed it? I should be the one to know how she feels without her having to tell me?

I sat in the waiting room on the hard, uncomfortable, plastic chair as I awaited news on wether my girlfriend was alive or not. Last I heard they were pumping her stomach and something else I can't remember.

I felt a touch on my shoulder, and I looked up to see my mom with Calum, Ashton, and Michael. My eyes were dry and burning, and it felt like there was literally no more water in my body from all the crying I've already done. I was scared beyond belief, and I'm pretty sure the lady at the desk was getting annoyed at me. I was going up there every 15 minutes asking for updates on her.

I looked back down at my hands that were in my lap, and I felt Michaels shoulder brush up against mine. All I could feel was anger building up inside of me. My head was burning was fury, and it took all I had to not punch him in the face.

"I'm sorry Luke," he said his voice weak. It was obvious he was crying and that he felt bad. "It's all my fault."

"I would be lying if I said it was okay," I said truthfully. "Because it isn't and if I'm going to be honest I'm really pîssed at you right now and I would honesty move before I punch you in the face."

"I'm sorry Luke," he said his voice cracking before he got up and moved away from me. I had no emotion except sadness at the moment. Sadness was consuming me, and I couldn't feel bad that I sad that to Mike. It was impossible for me to feel anything other than sadness.

It felt like I was sitting there for hours before the door finally swung open revealing a nurse.

"Elle Armstrong's family," she announced.

I raced over to her and so did her mom and dad. I was beyond curious to know if she was okay or not. Michael came over and kept his distance from me.

"Well it looks that she will be fine," she said and a smile spread across my face. It was so wide I'm sure you could see it from space. I let out a breathe of relief as I hugged the closets person next to me which just happened to be Michael.

"Your lucky she's alive," I said just above a whisper to him.

"I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if she didn't," he said back.

"She's asleep at the moment, but you can go to her room and wait until she wakes up," she said.

Karen and Billy both followed the nurse with Michael and I closely behind. I really wanted to see Elle, and I really wanted to know why she would do this.

As we approached her room I couldn't help but realize how much I actually love Elle. After this I realize how much she means to me, and I don't want to ever loose her. I wouldn't be able to live without her.
