Over Dramatic

Chapter 4: Friends?

***Allie's POV***

I woke up to bright lights, not knowing were I am or what happened all I knew is I wanted Josh by my side. I look around the room, "where's Josh? Where's Josh? Josh?" I began to panic and scream his name. "Sedate her!" I heard someone yell, I just continued to scream for Josh until the darkness took over once again.

***Josh's POV***

"Hello? Hey, man wake up! Dude I think he hit his head pretty hard, should we take him inside?" Someone was shaking me... Jesus that light is bright. "Hold on I think he's coming to." Allie! I have to go see her, I tried to jump up only to be pushed down by strong muscular hands. "Let me go! I have to make sure she's alright! I gotta- I gotta." I felt very lightheaded. "Hang on man, you took a pretty good whack to the head, we gotta make sure you're alright first."  I sat there for a moment trying to take in what had happened, "Who hit me?" A guy with really curly dark hair answered, "I don't know who he was, but if we hadn't of run him off he probably would have killed you. " The other guy spoke up, "He did leave his cell phone though!" I snatched it out of his hand. I had grabbed Allie's phone before we went to the hospital. I dialed Dakota's number, of course, the phone in my hand started to ring. I became outraged, the caller ID on the phone popped up "Little Tramp" and the picture was Allie cowering in her bathroom floor naked, wet, crying. She looked terrified. "Do you know who it is man?" Asked the guy with the strong hands, if I was into guys he would certianly be my type. He had shaggy brown hair, about shoulder length and a chisled jaw that looked like he was pulled straight from a greek painting.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. I will take care of it." I said as was walking back into the hospital. "Hold up man," I stopped to look at the handsome one, "you seem like you're having a rough time, let  us come sit with you." I considered it for a moment, "Nah man, thanks for asking though." They looked at each other then back at me, the curly headed one said, "We weren't asking man." I shook my head and walked back into the hospital.

I walked up to the front desk and asked about Allie, "There really isn't really anything new to tell you," she sounded reluctant to tell me anything. "God Dammit, IS SHE ALIVE?" I didn't mean to yell it just came out."Yes, she's alive, but she's lost a lot of blood. The doctors are doing everything they can."  She's alive, I have never felt so relieved in  my life. I walked back towards the strangers.

I sit in between the strangers, "I'm Josh," I shake the handsome ones hand, "Matt," he says taking my hand in a firm shake. I look to the other man, "Mike," he says with a sly smile. "So what's your reason for being here?" asked Matt. "It's a friend of mine, she's hurt pretty bad." Just as I responded Allie's mother ran in looking panicked. I jumped up and walked over to her.

Pulling her out of earshot of Matt and Mike I began to explain what happened. "I-I don't even know where to start..." How was I supposed to tell her that her daughter tried to kill herself? "There's no easy way to say this-" My voice broke and I began to cry. "Oh my god! My baby is dead? Please no where is she?" Delaney just lost it, she was crying  histarically. "Oh god! No she's alive!" She hugged me so tight, I have to tell her about Allie for now, then I will say something about Dakota. I cleared my throat and attempt to clear everything up, "Allie, she she um... She tried," breath Josh, "she tried to kill herself." Delaney looked mortified, but she didn't look surprised. She looked at me with tears in her eyes, "Can- can I see her?" She looked so broken, she looked just like Allie did when she was leaving me.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

A doctor stepped out of the  patient area, "Alexandria Pierceson?" Both Delaney and I kinda of ran to the doctor, "How is she?" We said in unison. "She lost a lot of blood, we have given her at least three pints. She will most likely need more. She has been put under a seventy-two hour obeservation, this is hospital policy for someone that has come in with an attempted suicide. After this I will decide if she should be transfered to an inpatient mental health facility. Can someone perhaps explain to me what lead to this young lady trying to take her own life?" Mrs. Piecreson couldn't speak. "She had gotten into a fight with her stepfather, so I went and picked her up. I took her back to my house like she asked, she had called her mom and they made arangements that Allie would stay with me. Alexandria went and took a shower, when she got out, we wrote a song together. Last night she told me that she self-harmed. We went to bed, she was wiped out so she fell asleep quickly. Her phone rang, it was her stepfather. I answered it, I left the room because I didn't want to wake her. He began threating her, and calling her names, so I retaliated and got a bit noisy. She woke up and when she had realized what had happened she snatched her phone from me, she ran to my bathroom. I thought she was just going to cut, if- if I knew she was going to do this, i would have kicked that door in. I tried to stop her," I turned towards Delaney, "I'm so sorry Mrs. Pierceson." She hugged me and we wept toghter. "Can we see her?" her mother sounded so fragile, not the Delaney I knew. She was a strong woman, until it came to her husband, there was something about him that always made her stay. "She is heavly sedated, but she's been screaming for Josh. I assume that's you," I shook my head, "she is still covered in blood, I don't recommend you seeing her until the nurses have cleaned her up." Delaney just sat there, in just a moment her eyes lit up. "I can do it! I'm her mother, please. I just need to see her." She was begging. "I don't see how that would be a problem," he turned towards me, " but you must remain out here until she is bathed." We thanked him, Mrs.Pierceson hugged me, and walked back into the patient area. I returned to my seat next to Mike and Matt.

"So how is she?" asked Mike. "She's alive, but she's got a long, difficult road ahead of her." They shook their heads in understandment. "You're in love with her." stated Matt. I looked at him in disbelief, "How can you tell?" Mike went to tell Matt to stop, but he continued anyways, "The look on your face when she was mentioned. When the doctor was talking to you, I could tell you were blaming yourself. Whatever happened, let me tell you this wasn't your fault. And if you don't mind me asking what happened? Because you are covered in a considerable amount of blood." I debated on wether or not to tell him, I didn't want to, but, "She tried to kill herself." My face fell and they both hugged me. These complete strangers, have given me more support in these last few hours than any of my friends have ever given me.
