Hazel's POV
"I still cannot believe you still stayed up for a whole day after Ryan fell asleep." Dad said.

"And then you just slept every chance you got." Ryan chuckles. "Well I had a plan, I started that challenge because I knew Spencer would make you guys clean the bus, so I stayed up later so I would be tired and could sleep while all of you were cleaning, because I could've fallen asleep on the bottom of the ocean after that." I say.

"I swear, you looked dead while you slept." Dad said. "He would go up ams poke you in the face and if you moved he would leave, if you didn't he would do it again." Ryan says.

"Yeah, wait where's Ashlyn?" I ask. "She went to go babysit Kayla, Bandit and Jayssa." Dad said.

I nod.

:Next Day:

I sigh as I glance at myself in the mirror. "What's wrong?" Sugar asks. "Oh, nothing." I say, sliding my skirt on. "Don't you try and spoon feed me that bullshit. Something's wrong." She says.

I sigh, putting on my shirt. "I miss Chance, and I know I was too young to be a mother but- Damnit I can't help but miss her." I sigh.

"Damnit don't cry." She says, wiping my tears. "I was thirteen before I realized.. My name wasn't Damnit." I say and she laughs. "God you come up with the weirdest shit." She says.

:Time Skip End Of Week: (so Sunday)

Finally, I could stop wearing the ears. When I woke up I was so happy. I stayed in bed and finally realized how tired I have been these past few months.

Since even before Dad adopted me, I was so uptight and couldn't relax. I've been actually going to sleep at decent times and waking up at decent times.

But today, it's all hitting me. I hear a knock on the door as I'm turning over onto my right shoulder. "Come in." I say. The door opens and Ryan looks in.

"Hey, you've been in your room all day, are you okay?" He asks. "Yeah.. Just tired." I say. "You're never 'just tired', Hazel." He says. "Today I actually am." I say.

He walks in the door and I look at him. "I've just been so stressed, I don't know when it started, I guess I got used to it, but I couldn't fall asleep, I couldn't stay asleep, and I couldn't wake up at a decent time, but now it's just.. Hitting me how tired I've been and how I've never gotten to just relax." I say.

I feel the bed dip as he sits by me. "Well you can go back to sleep if you want, I just wanted to check on you." He says and kisses my forehead.

(Ash: Can we just appreciate how I can just imagine Ryan standing there in a fucking maxi dress and purse like 'get in the car you have a soccer game Hazel!' Like dude)

"Love you." He says. "Love you too." I mumble, falling back asleep.

Ryan's POV
As I close the door to Hazel's room I sigh. Her stomach is still messed up and she'll need surgery if she wants to do normal, everyday things.

I couldn't tell her. I just couldn't. "Did you tell her?" I hear Brendon ask. "Oh my God.... I couldn't, okay, she said she's just been able to finally just relax and everything be perfect for once in her life and I couldn't ruin that." I say.

"I understand.. How are we going to-" "HAZEL WAKE UP YOU'RE GONNA NEED SURGERY FOR YOU STOMACH BITCH!!" "WHAT THE HELL ASHLYN?!... WAIT WHAT?!"

"Ashlyn Irina Urie!" I shout. "What?! While you two were talking I thought I'd just solve the problem of how to tell her on my own." She says.

Ashlyn gets pushed out of Hazel's room and her door slams.

"I'd hit you but that'd be animal abuse." I say. "Mean." Ashlyn says, crossing her arms. "Look at what you did to Hazel!" I say. "More like listen." She mumbles.

"You wanna listen to something? Go to your room and listen to your mind." I say. "For how long?" She groans. "Till ya kids let'cha out." I say.

She stands up, rolls her eyes and heads down the stairs. I knock on Hazel's door. "Go away!" I hear. "Sweetie let me in." I say. "Let me die!" She yells.

"I will not let you die you are too important in this family!" I shout. "Brendon get the lock pick." I say. He nods and runs to our room.

"I'll kill myself before you can get to me." She says, I hear shuffling and another door closing. "Damnit, Brendon hurry up!" I shout.

He comes back with a lock pick and with shacking hands unlock Hazel's door.

We rush to her bathroom and I unlock that door. She's standing, looking into her mirror with tears streaming down her face. I look around the bathroom, all her medications, plus more, are scattered across the counter.

She holds up a hand, one of each of her many medications in it. She picked up the small red one, looking at it. Okay this is getting fuckin creepy.

"Funny how something that's supposed to help can hurt so... So much.. The one red little pill slows my heart rate, normally, in the wild, you avoid red as a sign of danger.. Maybe we should too.." She says.

She starts to fall but Brendon catches her.

:Time Skip:

"I'm sorry okay! I didn't know this would happen!" Ashlyn yells through the phone. "Just.. Stay there, I have to stay here and Pete will be there in a little bit okay?" I ask.

"Alright." She says before hanging up. "Well goodbye to you too.." I mutter, putting my phone away. (I fucking almost wrote purse.) Brendon lays his head on my shoulder.

We haven't been allowed to see Hazel for hours and we have no idea what to do.

Patrick's POV
"She what?!" I ask, quietly since Declan is sleeping.

"Come on, we need to go." Pete says. "Alright." I sigh, climbing into his car.

We head to Brendon's house and I knock on the door. When Ashlyn doesn't answer I knock again. "Hold on a fucking second before I fucking come out there and shove your head up your ass!" She yells.

Sounds like she was in her room. The door opens and Ashlyn glares at me.

"Oh. Hey." She says. "Look, I know you're not excited-" "Damn fucking right I'm not excited! You think I'd be happy my baby sister tried to kill herself?! Ryan hasn't told me shit so for all I fuckin know she's dead just like my niece!" She shouts.

"Ashlyn, just get in the car we're going to my house." Pete says behind me. "I'm sorry.." Ashlyn says, walking to Pete's car.

:Time Skip:

"I fucking caused it! She was dying already and now she's probably dead! I can't live without my sister! Bitch, that's like trying to live without a fucking heart! You try living without one! Ain't too easy now is it huh?!" Ashlyn yells at Pete.
