The Legends of the Moon Gods

Chapter10

Wesley's PoV:

I paced around the hospital lobby, my hands tightly wound in my hair. This couldn't be happening. Paige is the most beautiful girl I've seen and I may not know her well but she has a spot in my heart. She made me feel happy and just wonderful all together. I could barely swallow as doctors, patience, nurses and families walk around the lobby as well, the occasional emergency coming and going.

"Wes-" My mother tries to speak to me but I ignore her and cut her off with a fierce look.

"Dude, it's probably going to be okay. They can flush out her system. I know you care about her but you couldn't have stopped this..." Jordan tried to soothe me but it pissed me off.

"Oh really!? You think preventing a suicide couldn't be stopped!? IT ALWAYS CAN JORDAN!" I yell, making people look at my family but they go back to what they were doing. I can feel the tears gathering behind my eyes  and the strain to keep them back.

"Miller family? You can come see Paige now." A doctor calls out and I am the first to bolt to the room while the rest of my family gets the stuff they brought together to follow. I charge into the room, seeing Paige, peaceful and pale, damaged and broken. She was hooked up to so many machines. I force myself to swallow.

"She'll recover. It was lucky you were there. If you weren't, it would've been too late." The doctor starts explaining to me the situation.

"We flushed her system. She'll have to stay in the hospital on suicide watch for a few days. If she tries another attempt in those three days, we'll be force to admit her to Immanuel Mental Institute or I.M.I for short. You'll be able to visit her everyday from 6 a.m. to midnight. We also diagnosed her with severe anxiety, clinical bi-polar depression and anorexia. We will be prescribing anti-depressants and medication for the anxiety and anorexia." He gives me a slip of paper that I hold loosely in my hand while I just stare at Paige. The doctor leaves and I shuffle over to Paige's body. I put my hand on her pale hand and rub my thumb over the top of her smooth, soft skin. I no longer hold back the tears, being 5 years since I cried. I feel a pat on my shoulder.

"It's going to be okay brother... Like you always say, focus on the positives and you'll make it through..." Fleur's eyes were so innocent and wide, saddened and pure. I turned to him and pulled him into a hug, crying into him as he hugs me tightly. Him and I stay in that position for a while until I hear stirring. Both Fleur and I look at Paige and she moved just the slightest. I lift up Fleur to see Paige, right as she opens her eyes. Fleur starts crying and I hug him and smile weakly at Paige who seems dazed.

"W-Wesley? F-Fleur?.." I can hear the obvious choke in her voice and I break down. She slowly sits up and looks at the rest of my family.

"D-Don't you remember? W-What happened?" Dorian speaks up the first time tonight and she shakes her head.

"Y-You tried to O-OD... y-you tried to kill yourself..." I choke out and her eyes cast down, as if she is trying to remember and then she breaks down herself. I carry Fleur closer to Paige and whisper something to him and he whispers the same to Paige and she just sobs louder. He hugs her as I join him.

"It's all going to be okay Paige.... You have us..." I look at an old yellowed note in my hand and slip it into the clothing pocket of her jeans on the table and just hug her as Dorian and Jordan join and my mother looking out the window, tears silently steaming down her face.
