Misguided

The Truth Comes Out

"Whe-Where am I?" Andrew asked confused trying to open his eyes to look at his surroundings.

All he saw was a bright white light "what is this?" He looked down at his arms to see tubes running from his wrist to a machine. "What the fuck?!"

"Andrew you're up!"

He looked to the side to see Josh's worried face fill with relief.

"Where am I?"

"The hospital, you passed out at the party"

*Knock, Knock*

"Mr.Lopez I'm Dr.Yearing, I treated you all night"

"What happened to me?!"

"You overdosed. We had to pump your stomach to release the alcohol and pills. If it wasn't for your friend for getting you here as quick as he did we would've lost you."

"Pills? I don't take pills"

"Well you sure did have a lot in your system for someone who doesn't take pills haha. Get some rest, you'll be released at 4:00 pm this afternoon." She smiled and walked out of the room.

The room was quite.

"What did she mean? Pills? You let me take pills?!" You could hear the anger in his voice.

"I was there when you took one, I went to get another beer and you went your own way." Josh put his head down in shame.

"Why didn't you go find me?!"

"I wanted to let you to have a good time, that's why you went"

"You know I can't have pills! Not after Lexi's death.."

"I forgot.."

"You forgot?" Andrew got out of the hospital bed.

"Lay back down bro!"

"You forgot that when I take pills I can't stop! You forgot that I almost OD'd four times last year! How do you forget that?"

"We stopped hanging out after Lexi passed" Josh threw his hands up in defense.

"No we didn't! You left me the first time I was in the hospital for suicide attempt!"

"What do you want me to say? I lost one bestfriend to suicide and I wasn't gonna lose another!"

"That's why you help, you don't leave!"

Josh got up and threw his fist at the wall.

"How was I supposed to help you? You're so fucked up in the head that's I wouldn't know where to begin!"

"Maybe it's because I lost my bestfriend and the love of my life to suicide! Because I'm the one that found her lifeless body hanging from the ceiling fan with blood puddles under her and blood dripping from her opened wrists!" Andrew started crying and yelling. He clenched his fists, his face started to get red. You could see the anger in his eyes.

"Andrew I'm sorry man.."

Andrew started laughing, he sat on the bed.

"God, I'm fucking insane."

Josh put his arm on his shoulder.

"It's gonna be alright"

Andrew turned around and shot his still clenched wrist at Josh.

"That's the same thing you told Lexi you piece of shit!"

Josh laid on the floor holding his nose, blood gushing out.

He kicked him in the stomach cause him to gasp for air.

"That one's for Lexi"

"Nurse! I'm ready to go, I'm feeling much better"

He walked out of the room with a big smile.
