For some reason, something pulled me to Gaten. I can't explain it and I don't think I want to explain it. But I look at my feet as they drag me to him.
I arrive at Gaten's house and door was unlocked so I barged in. Panic began to rise inside of me and for some reason I felt my breath hitch.

"Gaten!" I hollered up the empty hallway. There were no cars in the driveway so I began to run up the stairs.

I searched every room in search for him until I found a room which looked like it would belong to him. The door was locked so I had no choice but to kick it open. I walked in to an empty room and saw a door which I would think is his bathroom.

I don't know why I was scared or why I even cared. But I could not mistake the feeling in my chest at this moment.

"Shit?" I mumbled. I kicked a hole through his bathroom door and got my foot stuck. This is followed by a loud crack and excruciating pain.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" I pulled my foot out of the door but I was not focused on myself.

I unlocked the door and opened it. I feel tears fall down my face as I choke on a sob.

He laid there, his wrist sliced and razor blades on the floor. His body was so pale and so cold. I felt like throwing up but instead I fall to my knees, regardless of any pain I was enduring.

The water wasn't clear but red filled with blood. I place a hand over my mouth.

I spotted a note taped to the door but focused on Gaten. I reached my phone out and called 911.

Youre good

"Hello, my friend is laying in the bath tub and he committed suicide, well attempted, and he needs help!" I shouted into the phone.

"We're locating you now- hold on. Is he breathing?" The lady asked. I listened for a heartbeat and could hardly hear one.

"Hardly." I answered.

"We'll be there in ten minutes." She told.

I hung up.

I wait for a few moments and didn't hear and sirens. My time was limited and I knew it.

"Fuck that."

I took the note and picked Gaten, up carrying him to my car. I got towels and wrapped them around his wrist whole putting pressure on them.

I slammed on the gas, surprised I didn't get a speeding ticket.

I looked over at Gaten and saw the boy who was looking into the fire. It lit up his eyes. His features were soft and innocent. He's just a kid. I should've known. I should've helped.

I arrived at the hospital and rushed in with Gaten in my arms. They took him away from me and did their thing.

I went to the bathroom and in the mirror I examined myself and saw that I was covered in blood. I went to see Jack and Finn, trying to take my mind off of things - limping the whole way there.
