**suicide attempt**

You'll have to guess who's POV
Help. I don't know why I did it. It was because of how sad he was. I felt like I had to. I shouted his name, he came running in. He turned on the light. He saw the smoke. He screamed my name. He turned on the tap and put out the fire. I was coughing and spluttering, having already inhaled too much smoke.
"Stay with me!" He screamed, but I could feel my life slipping away.
"You can't do this to me! I need you!" My eyes started to close.
I felt his arms around me. I couldn't give in, I had to keep fighting. This was a mistake.
"Martyn!" He screamed, "Phone an ambulance!"

Martyn came rushing in, already on the phone. They weren't going to get here in time. Through starting a bonfire in the bathroom I was going to die. But it would break him. This was a mistake.
"I don't want to die! It was a mistake! The demon came back!" I coughed. He held me close, and he told me it was going to be okay.

Then I saw flashing lights, and heard sirens. Could they make it in time. Was I going to live? The last thing I remember was his lips on mine, and then it all went black.

Just as the paramedics walked in, I felt him go limp in my arms. I told them to hurry. They shocked him with the electric machine. His eyes bolted open. It was all a blur, shouts of 'he's alive' and 'false alarm'. They didn't even need to take him to hospital. Turns out, he only went unconscious because he panicked, I'd gotten to him before the smoke could do any damage. Thank god. They did a quick check up, then left. From now on, I was hugging him close when we went to sleep. I couldn't risk losing him.

When I woke up, all I could think about was him, how much I loved him. I would have to show him that when I could. After a quick checkup, they left, and it was just me, him, and Martyn. After Martyn had checked I was okay, he went back to his room. After all, over the last few days, things like this had become the norm.

After nearly dying, it was then that I realised, we needed each other. And I was going to help him, and he was going to help me.

We didn't talk about it, there was no need to, we both knew what had happened. We just kissed and cuddled like it was the last time we would be able to.

A.N- well did you figure it out? Slight plot twist here...

Normal writing: Phil
Italics: Dan

But look on the bright side, Phil realised it was a mistake, and he doesn't seem to be sad that he didn't succeed. And Dan has realised that he wants help, and needs Phil.

So even though this was a confusing chapter, it had a happy ending. Back to my normal writing style next time.
