Warning: Depression talk, possible trigger

-Parker's POV
I cannot belive it. I literally can't.
I stare at the orange container, reading the label over and over, hoping my eyes had failed me. That it didn't actually say that. I started scan reading the label
Antidepressants

One after waking up
One before dinner
One before bed

Prescriped to Stacy Hinajosa
(ID 2009-2022-12)

Part of me wants to throw the bottle out the window. To smash it on the floor. To crush the pills to pieces, thinking that if I destroy them, it won't be real. Her depression won't be real. But she needs them.
I don't want to assume she's on the lowest level of depression, but who knows. I.. I have to talk to her. To talk about this and confront her.

-

"So.. Um, Stacy.. I found these" I say, sitting on her bed, showing her the pills. "Parker.. I.. Please, I can explain..I" Stacy's eyes water a little, before she squeezes them shut. "I-I swear, I can-" "Stacy.. I know you've been suffering since the accident last year. How could I have not known.. How could I have not noticed! I.. I'm sorry" I say. Stacy is looking down, a small puddle of tears at her feet. She looks up, and her eyes are glistening, her face full of tear streaks. She looked broken.. And for a few moments, I forget how to breathe.

-Third Person POV
"I.. Like Parker"  Dul repeats to Lizzie, hesitantly. "Well you sure as hell seemed to enjoy that kiss.. And all Parker did was stare at Stacy" Lizzie frowns. Dul stares at her, mesmerized. "I.. Enjoyed it?" Dul questions, to both Lizzie and herself. "Dul, you're not telling me you.." Lizzie hesitates. Dul looks up at Lizzie, and her eyes tell the british girl what she dreaded since the truth of dare game.

"I'm sorry" Parker says, standing up and embracing Stacy in a hug. "I'm so, so, so sorry"

"Parker, please promise me.. Promise me you won't tell anyone.. Not even Graser.. Lizzie knows but please don't go around talking about it to others, please" Stacy begs, pulling away from the hug and looking at the blue gems of Parker's eyes. "I.." Parker hesitates.
"Promise me! P-promise you w-won't tell anyone! Anyone at all!" The brunette exclaims. "I won't, don't worry.. I won't" Parker closes his eyes, as Stacy throws herself at him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you.."
"Anytime..but how will I convince others I have nothing to hide?"
"Act" Stacy simply responds, pulling away from the hug. "W-What?" Parker questions, looking into the green orbs of eyes that Stacy has.

"Act. I do it all the time. Trick people into thinking you're fine"

Parker's heart completely shatters, hearing those words come out of Stacy's mouth.

"How long? How long have you been acting?" Parker asks, cupping Stacy's cheek.

Stacy avoids Parker's gaze, looking anywhere else, before closing her eyes.

"For far too long"

-

Lizzie slams Dul onto the wall nearest wall of the basement, digging her nails into Dul's bare shoulders. Everyone else is upstairs.
"Lizzie! What is your problem?!" Dul cries, trying to push Lizzie away, but she stops when she notices something.
