Save Me From Myself, I'm Going Down

Chapter 13

Abigail's POV
I had woken up about an hour later.
I walked down stairs to see Nick on the couch.
"You okay sweetheart?"
"Yeah I'm fine." He stood up and walked right past me.
He went upstairs and I heard a door close and lock. My heart began to race. What was he doing?
"Nick? Baby?" I walked up the stairs slowly, seeing that the bathroom door was closed.
"Nick!?!" Open the fucking door!" I pounded my fist on the door, my adrenaline going crazy.
"Nick!" I screeched. I began to cry, pounding on the door harder.
"Gail!?!" I heard Josh's voice call from downstairs.
"Josh! Nick locked himself in the bathroom and now he won't open it!" I was shaking.
"Stand back." He kicked the door in and what I saw was absolutely terrifying...

"Nick!!" I ran into the bathroom. I saw at least three pill bottles on the floor all empty.
"Somebody call a fucking ambulance!"
"Nick! Baby! Please don't leave me!" I was shaking. I began to have a panic attack. My chest began to hurt and it became hard to breathe.
I put my hand on his neck, checking for a pulse. Nothing...
I screamed... I just lost the best thing I had.
"Why!?! Why did you do this!?!" I held onto his lifeless body for what seemed like eternity until the paramedics came in.
"Ma'am please step away from the body."
"Is he going to be alright?!"
"Did he have a pulse?"
"I couldn't find one."
"We'll do the best we can." The paramedic began to give him cpr.
Soon enough he stopped. Nothing seemed to work.
"I'm sorry ma'am... We've done everything we could do."
"He's dead?"
"I'm afraid so." I screamed and fell to my knees.
"We have a pulse!!" I heard someone say.
"Nick!?!" I ran into the bathroom, seeing him coughing.
"Nick!" I ran and hugged him tightly, tears flowing from my eyes.
"I thought I fucking lost you!" I kissed him all over.
"Don't fucking do this ever again Nick! I can't fucking lose you!"
"I'm s-so-rry Ab-i-gail." He said between breaths.
"I love you so much Nick."
"I l-lov-e y-ou to-o Ga-il."
I hugged him tightly until he wanted me off of him.

-_Later that day_-
Abigail's POV
It was about 6 when me and Nick were lying in bed. I didn't want to leave Nick alone what so ever.
"Please don't leave me Nick." I said looking deep into his intoxicating green eyes.
"I won't Abigail. I promise." He pulled me close to his body. I kissed him for as long as he allowed.
We laid there for hours just talking and watching tv. These are the moments that matter most to me. The moments where I can smile and not have to fake it. I don't know what I would do without Nick. He saved me, and thats what I've been wanting someone to do. I just didn't know how to ask for help. Its like I wanted to talk, but no sound came out. I'm glad I have Nick by my side. I need someone like him, and he needs someone like me. We keep each other sane. We help each other. We've saved each other.
It was about twelve when I started to feel sleepy. I laid my head on Nick's chest, hearing his heart beat. The heart beat that beats for two. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off into sleep.

-Next Morning-
Nick's POV
I had woken up to Abigail still cuddled close to me. I couldn't help but smile at the sleeping beauty beside me. Even though her hair was a mess she still looked beautiful to me. I quietly removed her hand from my waist and slowly got out if bed, attempting to not wake her up. I got up and immediately went to the bathroom. I saw the empty pill bottles in the trash and instantly regretted what I had done the day before. I can't believe I would have put all that weight onto Abigail. I know I should've have talked to her but I didn't. I've never had to deal with anything because I never had someone care so much for me. No one cared to know what was wrong with me, so I kept it all inside and to myself.
I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. Knowing I saved Abigail and I had saved her. I felt her arms wrap around me and I felt butterflies through out my entire body.
We saved each other before it was too late..
