||Julie POV||
"What a miracle! You're awake!" said the nurse.
"Yeah, I'm glad I am!" I replied with a faint smile.
"Let me go get the doctor." she replied.
After she left to go get the doctor, I laid in the hospital bed thinking how blessed I am to be getting a second a chance. It was such a stupid and selfish move. I have so many people that care about me and I almost threw it away like it was nothing. At this point, I felt the tears running down my cheeks.
"Oh gosh..." I said to myself, covering my face. At that point, the doctor and the nurse walked in.
"Ah, Julie, how are you feeling?" the doctor asked.
"I'm okay." I said, lying.
"Julie, you don't have to lie. We only want to help you. It's okay."
"No, it's not," I snapped. "Here I am in the stupid hospital just for being stupid and selfish when there's people that freaking care about me and I take it for granted by trying to commit suicide."
"I know it's difficult right now, but you're alive right now. I think that's something." the doctor replied.
"Haha, you got that right." I replied chuckling.
"Okay, well I wish I could release you, but I want to keep you overnight for further observations and to be safe. I will go let your mom and friends know."
"Wait, my mom is here? Oh gosh." I said. She's going to be so mad at me.
"Actually, can I go see them myself? I need to walk around." I asked.
The doctor thought about it and sighed. "Of course you can. Nurse Chloe, please guide her to the waiting room to see her family and friends."
As the nurse, Chloe, was guiding me to the waiting room, she started to talk to me.
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you do it?" she asked.
I hesitated, but she was so nice and glad to help. "Honestly, I thought it was the best way, especially after, um-"
"It's okay. You don't need to say anymore," she said. "But you are one tough girl. You don't think so, but you really are."
She stopped me before we got to the doors. "Julie, you just have a problem with asking for help and it's okay to ask for help."
"I know, but I'm scared that if I do, someone will get hurt. Hell, my friends almost got hurt by my bullies all because they wanted to help." I replied.
"But that was their choice. That's what friends are for, to help each other and be there for each other. You gotta stop blaming yourself for everything and know that there's a brighter side to every situation."
I looked at her and nodded and she smiled in return. "Now, how about we go see your mom and friends?" she asked.
"Haha, yeah let's go." I said.

As we entered the waiting room, I could see everyone sitting there. The first person I was looking for and saw was my mom. She was sitting there crying and being comforted by Shawn and Cameron. Everyone else was also sitting there in tears. I slowly made my way to my mom.
"...mom." I said.
She quickly turned around and saw me. "Oh my gosh, Julie!" she practically yelled. She got up, ran to me, and hugged me. I hugged her back. "I'm so glad you're okay, babygirl." she said crying.
"Me too. I'm so sorry, mom." Once I let her go, I saw all the guys staring at me.
"Hey, guys. Thanks so much for saving me." I said.
"We're just glad you're okay, Julie." Nash said.
"We were so worried." said Jc.
"You're one tough cookie." said Shawn, lightly punching me in the arm.
"Whale thank you my Canadian friend." I replied.
"I don't mean to break this up, but Julie we have to get you back to bed so you can rest." said Chloe.
"Yes you do," said my mom, "Boys, you can go home. I'll make sure to keep you guys updated."
"Thank you, Mrs. Brooks." said Gilinsky.
After I got back to my room and got back into bed, I realized I was starving.
"Mom?"
Boy let me tell ya, she jumped up so quick I thought she was the Flash for a sec.
"Yes, sweetie what do you need? Food? Water? maybe some warm fuzzy socks to keep ya warm? Or maybe-"
I was laughing so hard. "Mom, calm down. I just want some food and I know you must be starving. How bout we get some Chick-fil-a?"
"Haha sounds great, sweetie. I'll be right back!" she said as she left.
I laid back in my bed and chuckled. "I am so blessed."
