"Hey Em." Alex looks exhausted when he answers.
"What's up?" I frown slightly, putting down the coffee I brought to my lips.
"Work has me working really hard and early mornings. It's tiring, but I like it." He grins, rubbing his eyes.
"If you start the war alone, you generally have to fight it alone." I smile at the laptop camera.
"Why do they sound like lyrics?!" Alex smirks as I blush.
"Maybe they are!" I wink at him.
"Sing it to me." He closes his eyes and lies back on his bed.
I check what time it is over there. Midnight.
"Yeah, sure. You need to sleep anyways." I smile, picking up my phone. I play the back track to the song on guitar and count myself in from the beats.
"We're walking around in circles
We're still in war, fighting the devils
We keep needing to live on strong
But the voice, it keeps, on bleeding
If we're still attempting pain
Then who is the one to blame
If we're still fighting the wars from before
Then who was the one with the flame
Ignite the spark in the dark
The pain comes and makes its mark
Be the one to light up the flame
But you'll be the one to blame
You've got to love to save a life
But you don't care enough as you sharpen your knife
You've got to care to save a life
But you don't care, no you don't care
You've got to love to save a life
But you don't care enough as you sharpen your knife
You've got to care to save a life
But you don't care, no you don't care
And if we're in this war alone
We're gonna have to fight it on our own
But you're the one that chose to start it
And then you choose, you lose and you quit
Ignite the spark in the dark
The pain comes and makes its mark
Be the one to light up the flame
But you'll be the one to blame." Alex relaxes more, his breathing steady.
"You've got to love to save a life
But you don't care enough as you sharpen your knife
You've got to care to save a life
But you don't care, no you don't care
You've got to love to save a life
But you don't care enough as you sharpen your knife
You've got to care to save a life
But you don't care, no you don't care
And if we're all alone, on our own in the dark
Then we have to try to, light up the spark
And there's not much left to say
Except from the fact that you always have your way
If we're still attempting pain
Then who is the one to blame
If we're still fighting the wars from before
Then who was the one with the flame
Ignite the spark in the dark
The pain comes and makes its mark
Be the one to light up the flame
But you'll be the one to blame
You've got to love to save a life
But you don't care enough as you sharpen your knife
You've got to care to save a lifeBut you don't care, no you don't care
You've got to love to save a lifeBut you don't care enough as you sharpen your knife
You've got to care to save a life
But you don't care, no you don't care" His chest rises and falls steadily, indicating he's asleep.
"Night Alex. I miss you." I whisper before ending the call.

"Mind if I join you?" Leondre stands in front of me.
"Course not, take a seat." I sit up instead of slouching. "So to what to I owe the pleasure of this meeting?"
Leo smirks. "Yourself. I heard you scream slightly as you fell outside my window. I lost you for a bit, but now I'm here."
I laugh as he orders a hot chocolate and muffin. "Well, what can I say? I'm just not used to the streets again yet."
"Don't worry I'll help you. I take it you're coming to my school tomorrow?" He sits back down before taking the top off his muffin.
"Yeah. Bit nervous." I admit, looking at my black laptop screen.
"Don't worry, You've got me! Hopefully you'll be in my form." Leondre smiles sweetly.
"Same. Haven't been to a school like this in six months." I mutter, thinking he can't hear me.
"Why not?" He asks. "You go private or tutor?" He takes a drink from his hot chocolate.
"Tutor." I say after a slight hesitation.
There is not way I am ever letting him find out about the mental hospital.
