When Marc woke up again, the pain was still there and the water was runing, slowly filling up the bathtub. Judging by the depth of the water, Marc must have been out for no more than five minutes. But how long has he been out for the first time?
Marc managed to get e few sips of cold water until his stomach cramped up again. Slowly and weak, Marc started looking for his phone. With unsecure steps he went back to his room and found his phone.
Monday. With tedious work, Marc found out that he was unconcious for two whole days. Two days where not one single person realised his absence, two days on which no one bothered to contact him.
Marc did not survive because anybody helped him, he survived by the misfortune of the body reacting to an overdose by puking out everything possible, even when beeing passed out. Next time i'm gonna drink two bottles and throw in more drugs, Marc comforted himself.
But what's to do now? Since there were no more drugs in his appartement, the next attempt would have to wait.
Due to a lack of options, Marc ignored the pain and started cleaning up. His bed was the worst to clean. The place where his body has fought death in order to live was soaked in puke and urine and sweat from the battle for life and death.
