Another time jump people, sorry. it just is for a few hours though. Enjoy.

John's POV We were having another guys night and Daryl was fucked up from earlier, so he got really, dangerously drunk. "Calm down on the alcohol, Daryl. Your gonna kill yourself." I say downing another drink. I was fucked up too, I was drunk. Not speech slur drunk, but still drunk. Daryl takes another swig of beer then spits it out and falls over. "Daryl!" I ran over to him and shook him. Probably not the best idea because if he wakes up he could kill me. Johnson comes back and runs over. "John get the girls, now!" I nod and get up. I sprint inside and the girls are sitting around on their phones. "Daryl. Outside, passed out." Memphis stood up and walked over to me. "John are you feeling okay?" I nod my head yes. "I'm just a little drunk, I'm fine. Daryl's passed out." Memphis turns to Rachel and she gets up and runs outside. When we get there Rachel goes over to Daryl and Memphis, slowly, asks me what happened. "He was drinking then spit it out and fell over." Memphis pinches the bridge of her nose and turns around. "So he had too much." Rachel replies tending to Daryl. The area around me starts to spin and I lean up against the wall and slide to the ground. Memphis turns around and looks at me. "John, how many drinks did you have?" There were literally two of everything. "I don't know. And are there really two of you right now?" I ask and Memphis has a face palm moment. "God damn it boys." I start to black out then Memphis shakes me. "Can you get up?" I still see two of everything sooo, no I cannot. "I'll try." I stand up then once I take my hand off the wall I fall back over. Ow. I start blacking out again. "John, John?" Memphis asks but when I tried to say something
nothing happened. And then I passed out.
Memphis's POV "John are you feeling okay?" I ask because John wasn't acting the normal 'girls we need help.' It was more of a scared cry for help maybe? I don't even know what it was, all I knew was it wasn't normal. "I'm just a little drunk, I'm fine. Daryl's passed out." Oh my god what the hell. I looked at Rachel and she was getting up then ran outside. I followed with John. He wasn't walking in a strait line. He would move in another direction and then correct himself. When we got there Rachel ran to Daryl and I tried to ask what happened. "He was drinking, then he spit it out and fell over." UUGGHH. This is why you can never leave men alone. I turned around and then heard a body hitting the wall I turned around and John had slid to the floor. Oh for fuck sakes. Not you too! "John, how many drinks did you have?" Oh god if he says he doesn't know I'm going to scream. "I don't know. And are there really two of you right now?" I face palm myself. "God damn it boys." I shake John and ask him if he can get up. He probably can't but it's worth a shot. "I'll try." He uses the wall to get up but right when he took his hand off of it he hits the ground. He doesn't say anything so I shake him calling his name. He doesn't answer. Shit. "John's not getting up either?" Rachel asks. "Nope." I say sighing. "Well let's get 'em inside." I look for Johnson and he's gone. I hate you right now Johnson. No ones noticed my hickey yet though, so yay. Now I gotta carry John up the stairs. Ugh.
Another few hour time jump
Memphis's POV John is turning thirteen today! Yay! Everyone left early they said they had to go pick something up for him but it would take forever, so they left a half hour before we are supposed to get up. I went back to sleep then awakened by John talking on the phone. "Thirteen years of life in a waste of space like you. Huh, wonder why you haven't killed yourself yet. It would do the world a favor. Anyways, goodbye." "Bye." I looked down at John and he put his phone down. "Hey, you alright?" I asked him climbing down the ladder. He nods his head no and rested his head on his fist. "What's the matter?" He didn't look at me as I sat next to him like he usually does. "I feel like my heart's just been ripped out of my chest."
"Why?" I ask when my heart sank.
"My dad called, he said I was a mistake and should kill myself. That it would do the world a favor."
"Oh god, that's fucked up."
"Yeah." John's voice started to tremble as he got another call. It was Connor, so apparently John got Connors number and are best friends now. Weird. "Hey Connor."
"Hey I heard it's your birthday! Happy birthday!"
"Thanks."
"Who messed with you, why are you upset?"
"Foster parents called, told me to go kill myself."
"I need your parents address so I can kill them."
"Thanks Connor, but killing them won't fix this, unfortunately."
"Alright, sorry. I got to go. Hope you feel better. Bye."
"Bye." Then John put his phone down and I gave him a kiss. "Memphis, you got to do some training." I heard Cortana call. I gave John another kiss and walked down the stairs to training. It was easy permethian, so it didn't take long to finish. I walked out of training and heard a thud upstairs. It's probably just John kicking a wall. I head to the bunkers and start to smell alcohol. Maybe he's drinking to help cope. I walked in and saw John passed out on the floor. "Oh my God, John!" A beer can had spilt when he fell, and three open drug bottles were on the floor. I dropped my helmet and ran over to John. "Please be breathing, please be breathing, please be breathing." Of course he wasn't breathing, because nothing can just be that easy. I calmed down like my mom taught me, tilted his helmet, opened his mouth and blew. I heard a gurgling sound in his throat and alcohol came shooting out of his mouth. "Oh my god." He started breathing again and I almost punched him in the face, but then I remembered he was passed out. I looked at the drug containers and it just looked like stuff he found in the med room. Then John's phone started ringing. I looked at it and it was his "dad". "What the hell do you want!" I scream over the phone. "I would like to talk to John, is he there?"
"No he's passed out on the floor."
"Why, what happened?"
"Whatever you said to him made him try to kill himself!"
"What'd he do?"
"Took drugs he wasn't supposed to and overdosed, then tried to drown himself in alcohol." I tried to make the words coming out of my mouth as acidic as possible.
"Good."
"How about you take a long walk off a short cliff, ass hole!" And with that I hung up. I looked down at John then pulled my phone out of my pocket and called Rachel.
"Hey how things going over there? Good I'm guessing because you're with John keeping him company."
I sighed. "I wish, his dad called him and basically told John to go and kill himself, then it got to him and he tried to."
"HOW DID HE TRY TO KILL HIMSELF!"
"What it looks like is that he took some meds from the med room, overdosed them then tried to drown himself in alcohol."
"Is he there, can I talk to him?"
"Nope, he's passed out."
"Did he ever stop breathing?"
"Yeah but I fixed that."
"Oh thank God. Okay we'll be back as soon as possible." She hung up and I looked at the alcohol, drugs, and passed out boyfriend of the floor. I took my jacket off and folded it making it a pillow for John. Then I grabbed a towel from the bathroom and soaked up the alcohol and immediately put the towel in the washing machine. Then I picked up the drug containers and put the caps back on. Then put them where they belong.
John's POV My foster dad called me and told me I was a waste of space and for me to go kill myself. Then Connor called and wished me a happy birthday and said he'd kill my parents for me when I told him what happened. Memphis was trying her hardest to make me feel like I didn't just get my heart torn out of me. When she was called for training I sat there and stared at the wall. Than an idea popped into my head. I could end it right now if I wanted. I looked at the door and quickly walked into the med room and grabbed three containers of drugs. Then I grabbed a beer and went upstairs. I opened the containers, closed my eyes, and took a couple of pills from each one. I opened the beer can and started to drink it when I started losing my vision and then I hit the floor and it went black.
