The Next Day

Presley POV

The taxi pulled up outside my home house in Memphis. I looked out the window and sighed trying to hold back my tears. Why did I come here, Ma is the last person who should know about this but I need her. I got out of the taxi with only my phone and a handful of cash as I didn't even think about packing anything to take with me. I paid the taxi driver and watched as he drove off. I turned around to find my mother standing at the door in shock. 'Presley sweetheart what are you doing here?' she said smiling as I walked over to her. 'Its Wes Ma, he's ruined everything' I cried as she took me into her arms and brought me inside.

As we walked in Darcy ran in to see what's going on. 'Mama who's at the Presley Oh my god!!!' She yelled running over and wrapping her arms around me. I knelt down to be face to face with her. 'Hi baby girl' I said holing back my tears for her. 'What's wrong Presley?' She asked concerned as she wiped my tears away with her tiny hands and hugged me. 'Its okay Presley, you can come and have a tea party with me and Christina' she said and I smiled. 'Maybe later okay, just let me talk to Ma' I said and she hugged me running back into the other room.

'Honey what's happened' Ma asked as I began to cry again. 'Wesley and I have broken up' I cried as she hugged me. 'Why sweetie? you were so good together' Ma asked as I just cried more. 'Just calm down and we can talk about it, okay?' Ma said gently as we walked into the house. She brought me into the kitchen and immediately Sam made us coffee and took Darcy to the park so Ma and I could talk. I explained everything to her and she was speechless.

'So let me get this straight sweetie, Wesley has been a druggie since he was a child, because of the bereavement of a friend, then he met your father and was present at his death?' Ma repeated and I nodded. 'Honey' she began. 'Let me ask you this, Do you love him, I mean really live him' she asked an I thought about everything. 'I don't know, I did but he lied to me Ma' 'Honey you can't love someone and then just not, it doesn't wok like that' Ma said as my phone began to ring. I checked the caller ID and it was Skyler. 'Why won't you answer it?' Ma asked. 'Because she knew about this from day one and never told me, so did Kela' I replied. 'Fine I will ' She said answering the phone. As soon as she started to talk her face went into complete shock. 'Okay Honey thanks for calling' She said hanging up. 'What did she want' I scoffed. 'Wesley is in a coma' She said. 'What' I said in complete shock. 'He topped himself on pills, not actual drugs though' She added. 'That doesn't matter' I yelled crying. What if he dies. Why is he being such an idiot. God please don't let him die.

Drew POV

'Did you call her' I asked Skyler as we impatiently waited for a doctor to tell us how Wes is. 'Her mother answered, she said she will tell her though' She replied. 'This so just fucking unbelievable, Why the fuck would he go and do that, two weeks before we go to X factor, he's fucked everything up, its his fault what happened between him and Presley so why the fuck does he have to go an top himself? He could fucking and if he does I swear to fucking god I will go to heaven and fucking drag him to hell' I yelled as people started to stare. 'Calm down Drew' Skyler warned as he phone rang. 'Its Presley' She said. 'give it to me' I said and she handed me the phone.

'Hello' I said.

'Hi' She quietly replied.

'Drew what's happened' She nervously asked.

'Presley he's fucked up big time, I mean you know what he has done but I don't know why he would do this. I found all of his drugs and emptied them down the toilet, he almost killed me for it so I don't know when or how he got the pills' I admitted.

'It's my fault isn't it' She said.

'No way, it not your fault Pres, but I think you should come back here and work it out with him, please Presley, we all need him at his best for X factor and now that Skyler is pregnant you need to be here or her and forgive her please Presley' I replied.

'Drew I have college in a week, and I think it's better for everyone of I just go because if I see Wesley it will break my heart and his and I can't face him again, or Skyler' She said.

'Just think about it Presley, but I should go, Laraine is here, I don't know what I am going to say' I said.

'Tell her I'm so sorry' She said starting to cry and hanging up. I looked at Skyler who was now sobbing. I pulled her into my arms and held her tight. 'I'm sure she will come around baby, just wait and everything will be back to normal' I said kissing her forehead. 'Drew! Keaton! what has happened?' Laraine said with fear in her eyes. 'He's topped himself with pills ad now he's in a coma' I said to her. 'What why?' She asked. 'Mom lets just wait and when he wakes up he will tell you because right now it's between him and Presley' Keaton said bringing Laraine to a seat. 'Where is Presley?' She asked. 'Back in Memphis Mom, They have broken up but don't say anything and before you go all crazy on Presley, it was Wesley's fault but I'm not getting into it' Keaton said just as the doctor came around. 'Wesley Stromberg Family?' He asked. We all got up and he walked towards us. 'And you are?' He said to me. 'I'm his best friend' I replied 'I'm his mother' Laraine said and he immediately talked to her. 'Your son has overdosed on about seven paracetamol around three this morning' He said. 'What are the consequences' I asked. 'Consequences? As you know he is currently in a coma and will remain in one for some amount of time' 'How long?' I asked. 'Its hard to tell, it could be a a few hours maybe days-' Thank God' Laraine said interrupting him. 'It could be hours, days, weeks or possibly months before he comes around' He added. 'For fuck sake, why the fuck would he do this when he knows what is happening in two weeks' I yelled. 'I suggest you pray that he wakes up from his coma before you blame him for anything sir' Tge doctor said. 'You don't think he's going to make it?' Skyler asked. 'Let's just hope for the best and I suggest you all get some rest and we will notify you if there is any news with him.' The doctor said before he left.

We all waited a few hours and then decided to head home. Laraine and Keaton are staying at our house and I'm staying with Skyler since Kela is with Mason. As we entered the house Skyler immediately wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me tightly, I automatically hugged her back carrying her up to her bedroom. She immediately fell asleep but me, I stayed awake wondering what if he dies, I'm not letting him die, I need to stay positive and hope for the best, I have hopefully a career in the music industry to look forward too, a wedding and a baby. I turned around to cuddle into Skyler. She turned around and cuddled into my chest. 'I love you' I said and we both drifted of into a deep. yet worrying sleep.
