Emmett's POV

"How could he do this?" Lori cries to me

"I don't know." I tell her honestly

I still can't believe he'd do this. "I mean what about Aiden? Or-or us? Did he even think about how this would affect us at all? Oh, wait Mika doesn't think! He just does! Not wondering what the consiquences could possibly be! He's a fucking selfish asshole!"

"Lori he wasn't thinking. He was feeling. Which is allowed in this family All this meant he truely felt this alone. He felt like he wanted to die."

"Yes feeling is allowed here, but not this! Trying to kill yourself because of this is cowardly! He's pathetic."

"Lori it's not being pathetic if you're tired of all of this. All of this was too much for him."

"But he could have died! He would have left Aiden! Aiden already lost Lucinda he can't just abandon him."

"I know Lori."

"What was he thinking?"

"That he could escape all of this. He wanted an out. He thought he found the quickest one."

"He's fucking stupid!"

Stephen's POV

God Mika! How could he do this to us? The boy doesn't think! No let me refrase that. He thinks, but only about himself! That stupid immature shit! "Mr. Lyle?" I hear the doctor call my name

I get up from my seat in the waiting room and walk over to the doctor. "That's me. Is-is my brother alright?" I ask the doctor

"He had to have his stomach pumped, it'll hurt for him to talk for a while. He'll have to be watched carefully for the next forty eight hours. He'll be on suicide watch." The doctor explains

"Will he have to stay for observation?" I ask him

"For the next twenty four hours, yes."

"But uh, you see he doesn't quit like hospitals. He has like a nervous break down if you will. Is there anyway for him to come home?"

"I wouldn't recommend it Mr. Lyle."

"If he stays here he will most likely try escaping."

"We can release him, but you'll have to watch him carefully." 

"Of course. When can he be released?"

"In a couple of hours."

"Can we see him?"

"I suggest only a couple people. He needs his rest."

"Thank you."

"And uh, try not to stress him out much."

"No promises." The doctor smiles then quickly leaves. The poor bastard thought I was kidding. Aww. I ask the nurse where Mika was and she points down the hall to the right. I quickly walk to his room. He's covered in wires and connected to so many tubes. He's sleeping. I punch him in the arm. He gasps in pain and he opens his eyes wide. "What the hell?" He croaks

"That's for being a complete idiot!" I snarl at him 

"I don't care."

"God Mika you're fucking selfish! How could you do that?"

"I don't wanna talk about this."

"Well I do Mika! You could have died!"

"I know."

"Why Mika? Why do you want to die so bad?"

" 'Cause I just don't give a fuck anymore. I'm tired of all of this Stephen. I'm done."
