Chapter 2.

-Lexi-

I woke up in pools of sweat dripping from my body. The heat radiated of me as if I was a fire. I felt hot. I felt sick. My head hurt.

I raised myself up from my bed and trotted over to the bathroom, splashing water over my face. The cool water made me feel slightly better, it definitely cooled me down vastly. I opened the cupboard and grabbed the tub of pain killers.

I stared at the tub for what seemed like hours. Debating how many to take. Whether I wanted all of this to be over or not. Whether I should just end it while I can. I mean, Danny didn't want me, the one person I wanted - needed in fact. My mum would have been so much better, financially without me. My grades were shit anyway. I just don't see the point in trying anymore.

I emptied out the contents of the bottle to find that there was only about half the bottle left. Hopefully it would be enough. I realised they weren't even pain killers. Oh well. I sighed shoving each one in my mouth and swallowing one after the other. One..Two..Five...Ten...Twentyfive...

Black.

"What are you doing here? How did you find me?" I asked the boy standing right in front of me. It was the guy from the coffee shop.

"Don't hate me?" He asked. I glanced into his eyes and felt somewhat sorry for him. I didn't even realise where I was but I didn't care at that moment. I just wanted to know how he found me. I nodded at him to proceed.

"I followed you home that day I saw you. I knocked on your door, your mum answered. She explained that you were asleep. I told her not to tell you that I came by because I didn't want you to think I was weird. I wanted to give you some space before I approached you again. So, I came the next day. As I was coming up to the door I heard a loud noise and I got worried. I knocked but there was no answer. I twisted the handle and the door opened. So I came in and I called your name so many times but I couldn't find you. I heard your phone ringing so I went upstairs and found you in the bathroom, unconscious. With the empty bottle of pills. Why?"

I stared at him as he spoke. This kid didn't  even know me. What was he doing following me home?

"W-why did you follow me?" Was all I could muster up.
"I was worried"
"You don't know me"
"I still wanted to make sure you were okay"

I looked around the room and noticed I was in a hospital. And then I remembered what had happened.
"You brought me here?"
"Well I phoned the ambulance?"

I got a little angry at this. I didn't want to be saved. I just wanted it to be over. I just wanted Danny to be here. Tell me he loved me and that everything was going to be okay. I knew that wasn't going to happen, though.

Silence seeped in throughout the room. It was somewhat scary. I squinted my eyes to get a clearer view of my surroundings.

"How long have I been here?"
"2 days"
"2 DAYS!?" I yelled. "Does my mum know?"
"No"
"What.." I was then cut off.
"I text her off of your phone and told her you were staying at a mates. She didn't ask who, thankfully."

I sighed. I was tired. So I closed my eyes and let myself drift off to sleep.

"You know, I still don't know your name" I said as we were walking through the halls of the hospital as I was being released.
"Charlie" he said with a soft smile.

"Lexi" I said as I took his hand, softly shaking it as if we were meeting for the first time.

"Pass your phone?" He asked me.
"Why"
"Just pass it"
I fiddled in my pocket until I found my phone and passed it to him.
"Here's my number, in case you ever need me, I'm here"
"Thank you"
