Your Greatest Mistake

Chapter Twelve

Riley's POV

I woke up in an unfamiliar room. It was bright and white with the smell of cleaning products. I scrunched my nose and squinted. I tried to sit up, but I got dizzy and my throat burned. I looked around and saw Niall asleep in a chair. I sighed. I'm pretty sure I was in the hospital, but why? I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I shouted.

It hurt my throat a lot to yell. Harry walked in and came over by my bed.

"Well, someone's finally up." He said.

"Mhm, why am I here?" I asked.

"I'm not exactly sure what happened." Harry stated.

"Oh." I said.

"I was just coming in to see if Niall wanted food. Do you want anything?" He asked.

"Can you get me blueberry yogurt?" I laughed.

"Of course." He said.

He got up and left the room. That's when I heard Niall wake up. He yawned and looked over at me. He immediately got up and came over to my bed.

"You're awake." He said.

"Yeah." I agreed.

"How are you?" He asked.

"Confused. Why am I here?" I asked back.

"Hm, the doctor thought you would have trouble remembering. You had an asthma attack, but you got so scared that you started having a panic attack. You passed out and almost stopped breathing." He said seriously.

"Oh well. Oh shit." I said.

"What?" He asked.

"Niall, did they see my cuts?" I asked.

"Yes. I'm so sorry love, they did." He said.

I felt a wave of panic and nausea sweep over me. I went into panic mode. They saw. That must mean everyone knows. I felt like I was going to throw up.

"Say something, please." He said.

I couldn't. My stomach lurched. I just sat there and started to cry. I began to get extremely worked up. I couldnt control myself.

"Riley please!" He yelled.

"What do you want me to say? Everyone knows, or is going to. I want to die. You should have let me die. My parents." I sobbed.

He sat next to me and pulled me into a tight hug. I sobbed into his chest.

"I hate seeing you like this. Please don't cry." He said.

"I want to be gone. I just want to be so far gone. Do the guys and Ana and Cat know?" I asked.

He nodded. I started crying again. That's why Harry said he didn't know why I was here. He didn't want to say the wrong thing.

"I hate this! I fucking hate this!" I screamed.

I heard the door open and the boys walked in. They were all looking at me. I couldn't take this.

"Hey, how are you?" Zayn asked.

"Is everything alright with you?" Liam asked.

"Save it." I spat.

Nobody said anything.

"Is there anything else I need know?" I asked.

"Actually there is." My mom said.

Her and my dad were standing in the doorway. I tensed up. My jaw locked.

"Sweetie, I don't really know how to tell you this." She said.

"Spit it out mom." I said.

"Your father and I are getting a divorce." She said.

I froze. The boys stared at me with wide eyes. This was my breaking point. I was done. I ripped the IV out of my arm, grabbed my bag and ran as fast as I could. I pushed through the hospital doors and didn't look back. I was done with everything now.
