"No Simon. They said that he'd be fine," I cry as he hugs me tightly, tears streaming down my face. "This is all my fault. Why did I take him? Why did I go?"

"Jayd this isn't your fault," Simon says, his voice sounding crushed. Josh, Harry, and Ethan came as well, but now Jake is right back in that hospital room. Nobody can help.

"Who are you?" a lady asks causing all five of us to look at her.

"Who are you?" Simon retaliates causing the lady to narrow her eyes at him, us.

"Why are you here? Are you the people who put him here?" she pauses, and my heart drops at the statement. It's my fault. "It's her fault, isn't it?"

She's talking about me.

This is my fault.

"Babe, this isn't your fault," Simon whispers, trying to hold me closer.

"Leave, all of you leave," she says harshly before walking towards Jake's door. Harry quickly stands up and pushes himself in front of her.

"You can't go in there," Harry says before I stand up as well and start walking away from Jake's room and towards the exit of the hospital.

"Jay, where are you going?" Simon questions, following me. I turned around and shrug my shoulders, not knowing what to say.

"Away. I shouldn't be here. This is my fault," I say, tears running down my face. I'm not sad though.

I feel empty.

Lost.

"Jay, this isn't your fault," Josh says, but I shake my head.

"I'm sorry for bringing you into this," I mutter before I turn back around and continue to walk away.

I pull away from Simon, suddenly hearing a bang coming from inside.

I try to wipe away the tears, my vision being blurry.

"What was that?" I ask Simon, worriedly, before quickly standing up.

"Jayden," I hear Harry's voice shout after me, but I ignore it, continuing to walk down the sidewalks.

I climb back through the window, entering the bathroom. Simon follows behind me. "Jayd, it's probably just the guys messing around."

"Jayden," Harry continues, grabbing my arm and turning me around. "Where are you going?"

I quickly go down the stairs and see Ethan and Josh standing outside the bathroom.

"I can't be here, Harry. I need to get away," I say, sniffling. It's cold out, and my nose is starting to run.

"Somebody go get Jay," Harry's voice shouts so I quickly push past the two and into the bathroom.

"Get away to where?" he questions and I shrug, my bottom lip beginning to stick out, signalling I'm about to sob.

I see Jake laying on the floor so I quickly drop to my knees. His head is bleeding and it looks like he hit it against the tub. I hear someone's phone sound off before Josh's voice is heard, telling someone about what happened.

Harry pulls me into a hug. I could clearly see tears forming in his eyes as well.

"What happened?" I questions Harry, but he just shakes his head.

"You can stay with me. Simon said he's going to stay with Jake. He'll call one of us as soon as the doctors are letting people in. He's gonna be okay, Jay," Harry soothes.

"I don't know, he just went up to use the bathroom. Then, there was a loud thump," he says, sympathetically.
