Logan's POV:

Noah and I arrived late that night. We were exhausted from everything we had done in Ohio, we just wanted to sleep.

"Hey Em?" I yell. I walk upstairs and go in her room. She's not here. I call her phone. It starts ringing in her bathroom. The door is locked. "Em, open up please.....Emma? Open the door now. You're scaring me." I demand. After a second, I ram my side into the door and it busts open. Emma is laying on the floor lifeless, an empty bottle of pills in her hand.

"NOAH! CALL 911 RIGHT NOW!" I cry. I turn Emma's body on her side and try to get the foam out of her mouth. Come on Em. Why did you have to do this? What happened?

"Dad...I called 911, but there are letters for a bunch of people on the table." Noah says. I nod my head and pick Emma up. I place her on the couch downstairs as we impatiently wait for the ambulance to arrive. Not even a minute later, they come in and take her on a gurney to the ambulance. I quickly scatter the letters together and hop into the back of the ambulance. Three doctors gather around her as I struggle to text all of my family and the boys. I told Noah to stay at the house. Victoria is going to pick him up.

End of conversation

Daniels POV:

I jump out of my window crying. She's dead because of me. I put her through too much pain. If she only knew I was doing that for her. As embarrassing as it sounds, I was trying to get Madison's help for Emma and I's going away date. I had it all planned out for when I left for tour. We'd have a big romantic date. I just needed someone to help set it up. And the boys wouldn't have known what she wanted because they aren't girls. And the only other girl I knew other than Madison was Victoria, but she was so busy with modeling, that I couldn't get a hold of her. But now, none of that matters. I hop over a wooden fence and somehow end up on Hollywood Boulevard. With Emma in my mind, I holler for a taxi. I have to get there. I can't let Emma go through this alone. Or Logan. I have to be strong, but for what? Who am I being strong for? Emma? She's gone. I can't ever hear her voice again. Or feel the tingling sensation I get when she whispers in my ear. I won't ever get to feel her soft, plump lips against mine. I can't cry with her anymore. And it's all my fault.

"Where you headin'?" The taxi driver asks.

"The hospital. Please drive fast." I implore.

"No problem." He nods and presses on the gas.

When I arrive at the hospital, I run inside and find the closest nurse to me.

"Do you know where Emma Paul is?!" I ask hurriedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to give that information."

"I'm her boyfriend!" I exclaim

"Only family members are allowed to see her." The nurse explains.

"Daniel...."

I look up to see Logan. Fear, sadness, anger, and confusion are laced in his eyes. His fists are clenched and veins are contoured all over his body. I know he's mad at me. But I also know he's hurting. He knows I'm the cause of this.

"Log-" Just then, he punches me in the face. Pain shoots through my head as I lay on the ground.

"Mr. Paul! Please get away from him!" The nurse yells, running over to assist me. "Are you alright sir?"

"Yes, I'm fine thank you." I say and take her hand as she helps me up.

"Ma'am, please do not let this prick anywhere near my daughter." Logan says angrily.

"Yes sir." The nurse nods and walks away hurriedly.

"Don't look so surprised. You do anything as much as touch her, I'll kill you. You hear me, Seavey?" He says. I nod my head and turn around.

"Oh, and, Daniel." Logan says. I turn back around to see tears streaming down his face. "These are for you and the guys. She wrote them before..." he trails off. I shakily take the papers and sit down. Logan scurries off somewhere unknown to me. As I impatiently wait for the guys to arrive, I hold the letters to my heart, not wanting to read them. This could be the last of her. This is all I have left.

§§§

It's been three hours. Three hours of pain. Three hours of torture. Three hours of suffering. They're trying to save her. The doctors are draining out the medicine she took. I keep telling myself she'll be okay, but what if she won't? The guys got here two hours ago. Zach didn't show up. I guess his stupid date is more important than Emma. I'll never forgive him. How could I? The thing that matters most to me in this world might leave soon, and he's not here to even say goodbye.

"She'll be fine." Corbyn assures and puts his hand on my shoulder. I haven't given them the letters. I haven't read mine yet either. I can't. It's too painful. What if she says it's all my fault? How am I supposed to live with that? Knowing I pushed someone to commit suicide? It's too hard.

"Boys..." Logan says, stumbling like he's drunk. All of us look at him concerned.

"She..." He trails off. My heart shatters. The world collapses around me. This is it. This is a new chapter of my life. I have to say goodbye to happiness and hello to sorrow and grief.

"She's in a coma." He finishes. My heart starts racing, about to fly out of my chest.

"S-so, she's alive?" I ask. Logan nods his head. I fall to the ground crying, relieved that I'll get to see her once more.

HEYYYO DUCKLINGS!!! You've waited so long for this chapter!!! And, no, this isn't the end of the book, even though I was kinda considering it. I mean, that would be such a cruel ending. Not telling you if she died or not. But, there are many more chapters to come. (I think. Idk yet) So anyways, thanks for being so patient with me. Right now, I'm super sick and have a sinus infection. I hope you guys are feeling well though! Anyways, I've made this too long. Bye lol.
