"Luke's awake!" I hear Drew scream over the phone. He hangs up and I turn my head towards the clock. It's 4:30 on a Monday morning. Hell no. I go back to sleep and am waken up by my phone ringing again.
"Roxy! Hurry! Luke's awake!" He hangs up and the clock strikes 5:00. I groan and get up.
It is too early to function.
~*~
I reach the hospital and walk up to the room. Drew crushes me into a hug and Cole simply smiles. I see Luke sitting upright on the hospital bed with some food on a tray next to him.
"Hey. How are you feeling?" I ask.
He smiles. "Better."
Drew turns to me. "He doesn't remember what happened the day of the car crash, but he remembers before that. We have been refreshing his memory."
I nod and look back at Luke. "When will you get out of here?"
"Depends. They said about a week just incase something happens, but no longer than that if there's nothing wrong."
"Oh. I'm sorry. You missed her funeral." I said with sorry eyes.
His eyebrows scrunch together. "Who's funeral?" My jaw drops.
Drew didn't tell him that Stephanie didn't make it through the car crash!
I look at Drew with my im-not-telling-him-you-tell-him.
He sighs and looks at Luke.
"Stephanie didn't make it through the car crash."
"What do you mean?" Luke asks. I can tell that he hopes that Stephanie didn't die.
"Stephanie is gone. She died in that car crash." He says with a sad look.
Luke starts shaking his head.
"No. No. No! That can't be true!"
"We wouldn't lie to you, Luke." I say. I hold his hand but he pushes it off.
"I can't believe it!"
I walk out of the room to give him some space and Drew follows behind me. Cole sits on a chair outside the room and walks into the room.
"You need a ride to school?" Drew asks.
"No. I drove here. I'll drive back." I look at the clock and it reads 7:00. We have 50 min to get to school. Perfect.
Just as I get into my car, my mom calls. Ugh.
"What?" I snap as soon as I pick up the phone.
"Where are you?" She snaps back.
"Why do you care?"
"I'm done with this shit. I am your mother whether or not you like it. You will NOT talk to me with attitude. Get some manners, Roxy. This is not the young lady I raised. What happened to you?!" She yells through the phone.
"A lot of things happened! I guess you just didn't care to notice!" I yell back.
"Stop trying to make me feel guilty! I will not feel guilty for you! You know I have a busy life. You have no right to talk to your mother like that!"
"You're not my mother. You're just a guardian. I don't need you! And I bet your life would be so much better without me anyways!" I scream and hang up the phone. I wipe the tears from my face and start driving to the middle of nowhere.
I can't handle this. One day, she's calm and shit and the next day she's yelling at me like I'm doing drugs.
I drive to Sunset Cliff even though it is bright and early in the morning. I lie down and look at the gloomy sky. I sigh.
Why can't life be simple?
Ping! Ping! Ping!

Drew: WHAT?!?!?!?!?
Drew: ANSWER ME!!
Drew: ROXY, DON'T YOU DARE JUMP
Drew: ROXY!!!!
He calls me several times, but I ignore it.
I sit on the edge of the cliff and look down. If I fall, I'll die.
Drew's POV
I go way over the speed limit as I drive to Sunset Cliff. A police car's sirens wail behind me. I speed up even more and rush out of my car as I run to the figure sitting on the edge of the cliff. A police officer starts running and screaming after me, but I keep running towards Roxy.
She almost tips off, but I catch her just in time to keep her from falling off. I pick her up and set her down in a spot that's at least 500 feet from the edge. The police officer walks up to me and smiles.
"You saved someone today. But next time, stay on the speed limit." She says.
I give her an are-you-fucking-kidding-me look. My best friend almost just killed herself and this dumbass of an officer wants me to stay on the speed limit! What the fuck!?!
She walks away and I squat down next to Roxy. She inhales sharply and she looks at me.
"Don't do that ever again." I hug her tightly with her head in my hand. "You scared me so much. I need you here." I admit. I love this girl and she was about to kill herself.
I love her so much. I don't know what I would do without her.
