Joel's POV
"Well..Leah is..."
"Not doing good"
"What? What's that supposed to fucking mean?" I say as panic floods my whole body
"Well the mix of Xanax and alcohol is extremely dangerous. Mixed together it intensifies the effects of both. It slows down her heart rate and caused her to have trouble breathing. We've got her on life support. She has a slim chance of waking up but, it will take her some time"
"O-oh.." I felt my world crumble to the ground. All of this over some stupid boys...
"I'm very sorry. You can stay at the hotel we have or you can go home. It's up to you" the doctor smiled at me comfortingly and walked off.
I started to think about it all as tears streamed down my face. When she wakes up, she'll still be at the hospital. Between mental therapy, she'll be here awhile. It will take ages for everything to go back to normal. And I have to go to fucking school. I can't even stay here. What about Leah?
I have to call everyone..
I start with her mom and I get more sad to hear her mom cry and breakdown. Her mom sad that she'll be coming home as soon as possible and I can take care of rascal.
I then try to call kyla, as she's with Jackie.
Joel- hey Kyla, and jacqueline. We need to talk about Leah.
Kyla- what about that slutty bitch
Jackie- we don't want to hear about that whore
Joel- please just hear me out.
Kyla-whatever
Joel- so the rumor that's going around isn't true.
Jackie-bullshit
Joel- she was drugged and raped by all three of them.
Kyla- w-what
Joel- and now that everyone hates her, she decided to commit suicide.
Jackie- y-you're serious..?
Joel-completely. She's in a coma and might die.
Kyla- we're such bitches, I feel awful. I'll call Tyler and Jaime and tell them. If she ever wakes up tell us...oh my god I'm such a bad best friend..
Jackie-took the words right out of mouth.
Joel- bye guys. I'll let Leah handle you guys when she wakes up.
Jackie- you mean 'If'?
Joel- no. I mean WHEN
I then hang up and start tearing up again. I can't believe how they responded to me saying Leah's name...
I exit the hospital and rush to my house. I pick up rascal and all the food and chew toys and necessary items for him and go home. I had to talk to my grandma and she was surprised at the news before hugging me and telling me to get some sleep.
I cuddled rascal, he reminded me of Leah. I couldn't sleep...how could I? Knowing the girl I liked was in a coma, hanging on to life. I decided to tweet.
@itsjoelpimentel: hope you're happy bastards.
I Shut off my phone after sending out the message and fell asleep.
••••
I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock blaring through my room. I groan and get up.
A day without Leah..wonder how this is gonna go.
•••school•••
The lunch table stays quiet as we all think about the missing seat next to me. All of a sudden Jackie burst into tears.
"W-we w-were so ignorant t-to her and n-now she's n-not h-here" she bawled and Kyla started to tear up too.
Jaime went over to Jackie to comfort her and so did Eric to Kyla. I just sat there..motionless..thinking about everything I wanted to say to her right now. The hoodie I was in when we cuddled the last night I spent with her, still has her scent on it. And I've been wearing that all day.
"Where's you're little slut?" I hear an evil voice say from behind me and I see the three Devils themselves.
"Fuck off" I grunt and turn back to the table.
"Oh, someone's a little feisty" Dylan laughed.
"Shut the hell up, Leah's probably gonna die because of you bastards" I finally yell and put my head in my hands.
"W-what?" Luis says, almost showing sadness.
"You heard me damn well, she committed suicide because of you. Are you fucking happy? Are you proud? Huh? Is this what you wanted? Well you got it. You got her in a fucking coma" I yell again out of frustration and notice the whole lunch room staring at me.
I decided this is the perfect time to clear up the rumor.
"SHE MIGHT DIE BECAUSE YOU THREE HAD THE NERVE TO RAPE HER. THEN SPREAD A STUPID ASS RUMOR TO MAKE YOURSELVES LOOK BETTER" I scream and hear murmurs come from the other lunch tables.
"I-i-" Eric started to say before I get up and run out of the bathroom.
I can't do this...I can't live without Leah. She's needs to come back. She has too. She can't die. She can't fucking die.

Kyla's POV (whattt)
I watch Joel leave the lunchroom and the three bastards just stand there. Leah's been my best friend since preschool. And now she's in a coma. Because she got fucking raped. And I had the motherfucking nerve to judge her and assume shit.
I'm such a shitty friend...
"You know what...I hope you all go to hell. And I hope that you all feel terrible. You guys fucking deserve it. Pushing a poor girl to her breaking point. Fucking drugging her and taking advantage of her trust. You guys disgust me" I say and hear gasps come from the lunch room. This isn't some soap opera, they can stop now. (Kyla is quite the potty mouth lol)
"I-I'm sorry..." Dylan says looking at the ground.
"Sorry doesn't make up for shit." I spit and sit back down. I feel Tyler's reassuring arms wrap around me and I feel better.
Please come back Leah..for us. I have so much to tell you. I say as a tear slips out of my eye.
