Where the hell am I?
Is this a hospital?
"Shit man! You're finally awake!" Duke appeared next to me. "How do you feel?"
Well considering I just woke up from an amazing dream and my whole body is throbbing...
"Like shit," I said.
"Figures," Duke sighed. "I wonder if Felix is out of his session yet...he'd be happy to see you."
"Session?"
"Therapy session. He did try to kill himself last night after all," Duke stood up. "I had no idea he was still thinking that way."
"Still?!" I jolted my whole body up and felt more pain shoot through me.
"Hm..." Duke stood up and looked away from me. "Let's just say...he was a disaster in high school."
"How is he right now? Is he hurt at all?" I asked.
"He has a sprained wrist but that's it. You should worry about yourself more."
"I guess if he's okay...I'll rest a little more..." I laid down and closed my eyes.
"If he tried to kill himself it must mean he tried to contact Felix again...hmm," Duke muttered.
What does Duke mean by that?
Oh well...I probably just heard wrong. I'm too tired to ask him about it anyways.

"Make sure to take them hun," the therapist said to Felix.
"I will."
I eyed him up and down as I saw him walk out.
I guess this is the aura of any person that just survived a suicide attempt.
He looked lifeless.
Almost like there was nothing left inside him.
"Owen?" He looked at me with worry. "Thank God you're okay!"
"Yeah I'm fine," I sighed and wrapped my arm around his shoulders and we walked side by side. "Shit, you're so exhausting."
"Oh, sorry," he sighed.
"Are you feeling any better? Not gonna go run off on me again right?"
"No..."
"That's good. I wouldn't let you anyways," I smiled. "Seriously Felix. That was fucking close. You scared the shit out of me."
"I didn't mean to make you hurt yourself like this..."
"Of course you didn't. Honestly do you even understand how much I really do love you?"
He stayed silent.
"I probably would've just killed myself if you died to be honest."
"What?! No! You wouldn't!" He panicked.
"Don't freak out. You're alive so I'm still here too," I laughed weakly.
"I'm sorry...about...everything," he quivered.
"Hey no. Don't worry about me please. Maybe I look worse than you but you're the one that's in a much more fragile state of mind so...worry about yourself more."
