She's in big trouble, i mean that not in that way but she needs help, i need her to see that. She's so beautiful and she's just wasting herself away. I need to do something about this and i know she will never forgive me for this but i have to.
I walk out of the room and called her mother with the hospital payphone.
"How could i have been so blind?" Ripley's mother sighed over the phone.
"She needs your help, can you come to Charleston Hospital now?"
"I'm on my way."

"NO YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, NICK PLEASE HELP ME."
The nurses had no choice but to sedate Ripley because she was struggling so much.
She woke up six hours later strapped to the hospital bed with a feeding tube.
"NO TAKE IT OUT, Nick please. PLEASE NICK."
"Rip, this has gone too far, you can't carry on like this. You need help."
"I don't need help, I'm fine."
"You're not fine Rip, your bones are showing and you're passing out. They think you did permanent damage to your heart."
"So what,"
"You could die Rip."
"Would that be so terrible?"
"YES RIP IT WOULD BE."
"Look Rip, i know it's going to be hard but you have to try.."
"GET OUT I DON'T WANNA SEE YOU AGAIN!"
"Rip.."
"I said GET OUT."
Suddenly the machines starting beeping and the nurses rush in with a crash cart.
"She's crashing, GET THE BOY OUT OF HERE." The doctor seemed a little terrified himself.
I could not register what was happening. The room was spinning and i blacked out.
I wake up with my head pounding.
Ripley was sitting at the edge of my bed. She's smiling.
