I wake up only to see that I am not in my dorm room, there's a stinging pain in my left arm and I look at it only to see that it is plugged into an IV.
"Hey sweetie, I'm glad your awake do you want me to get your friends?" Nurse Nina asks and I shake my head
"Why am I here?"
"Sweetie, you had a really bad panic attack and you passed out. We weren't sure if you were going to wake up or not but I am glad you did. Are you sure that you don't want me to get your friends?" She asks and I nod
"I'm sure, can I go back to my dorm?" I ask and she unplugs the IV
"Actually yes you can, I was just waiting until you woke up. Your hydrated thanks to the IV and your vitals are much better. Your free to go Abby. I hope you feel better " she says and I smile and get up. It's a little weird at first but I get my strength within minutes and walk back to the dorm.
I open the door only to reveal Maddie sleeping in her bed and Anthony and Caiden on the floor
"Guys get up, you look ridiculous" I say referring to Caiden and Anthony and at the sound of my voice they both come up to me and hug me. Anthony goes and wakes up Maddie and she runs over and gives me a hug
"I'm so glad your okay, we were so worried about you. How are you feeling?"
"Much better now. Caiden, can we talk?" I ask and Maddie stops me
"I don't think that's a good idea considering that you-"
"It'll be find Mads don't worry" I say with a smile and she nods and I walk out of the room and. Caiden follows.
"I'm sorry about freaking out on you yesterday, I just had a lot of stuff going on and I don't know what the hell happened but images of that day and the party and voices filled my head and I freaked out. I got letters from my brother saying that it was your fault that he had to leave so I blamed you. But I truly blamed myself, I was at that party because I followed you guys, once I saw you leave I knew that something was up so I followed you. I saw you on that park bench crying your eyes out and punching that old car window. I never really knew the truth but I think I get it now. You didn't do it. The guy in the video wasn't you was it?" I say and he shakes his head
"No, it wasn't. But you have all right to be mad at me Abby, I didn't stop it when it went too far. I heard him screaming and I didn't do anything. That ones on me. You have nothing to blame yourself for-"
"Yes I do Caide, If I would have gone upstairs then I could have stopped it instead of following you. That one is on me. The whole reason I dyed my hair is because every time I looked in the mirror, I saw him on the roof that day. Did you know that I was the one who found him, I could have stopped him. His last words were people aren't always what they seemed and I never knew what he meant until I read the letters. When he was on the roof that day, I cried so hard, I held him in my arms. He was my twin and my family only blamed me. You left at such a bad time, you left when I needed you most Caide, I got kicked out of the house because my mother blamed me. So I didn't want any remembrance of the past, I dyed my hair, started wearing make up and dressing differently. I hid my nose in music and books and that became my life. You left when I needed you most and that hurt me. I'm sorry, this whole time I blamed you. Ya know I had this whole thing where I was going to make you fall for me and then crush you like you crushed my brother. But foolish me fell for you the way my brother did and got heartbroken in the process" I say and he makes me look at him but I see that he's got tears in his eyes
"I fell for you too Abby. When we were 14 and even now. I know what you went through, his death messed me up too and I'm so sorry that I wasn't there for you. Your not the only one who isolated themselves, just I turned to my player ways instead. You had every right to hate me-" A tear falls down his face and that's when I cut him off
"Look at me. I don't hate you, I did but that was before I got to know you and before I found out the truth. I heard you guys last night, I just couldn't see, I heard the story of what really happened and I am not mad anymore Caiden. We both made mistakes that night but I realized that there was nothing that we could have done, Jack and his jerks were going to do it anyways. I just wish that Wes was here" I say and he nods
"Me too. He was amazing" he says and we have a moment of silence but I break that with a joke
"So... I'm guessing your not gay then?" I say and we both laugh and he shakes his head and smiles
"Nope. I am completely straight, in fact I am into a girl right now" he says with a wink and I smile
"Well I happen to be into a guy" I say and he leans in but I quickly move out of the way and he ends up kissing the wall but doesn't realize it and me, Maddie and Anthony clap and laugh and his cheeks turn red of embarrassment awe, poor baby. I can't help but laugh
