**Yurio's POV**

The beeping continues. The paramedics rush around the cramped ambulance, giving orders. I sat quietly, afraid of what is going to happen. (Y/N) starts flatlining, the paramedics gather around her blocking my view. "W-what is going on, what are you going to d-do?" I say panicking.

"We are going to resuscitate her and keep her heart beating." A paramedic calmly explains to me.

"O-ok. Please s-save her. I can't see myself without her." I say trying not to break down. I can't cry now, not when I have to stay strong.

"We are going to do everything we can so she can live." The paramedic says and continues to resuscitate her. They continue for a few more minutes until they stop... (Y/N) still flatlining.

"Wha- why did you stop? S-she can still make it!" I shout out.

"I'm sorry..." My head starts spinning. I can only hear the mumble of voices around me, but I don't pay attention to them. All I can think about is (Y/N).

✽✽✽

It was all my fault if I had found her quicker --- noticed earlier. Just maybe... (Y/N) might be alive. She lost way too much blood and her vitals plummeted. The EMT tried to resuscitate her but she didn't respond. They knew she was dead but a full examination protocol had to be done before declaring her dead. When we arrived at the hospital they carted her body off to someplace. I got out of the ambulance and just stood there staring.

One of the paramedics approaches me, "Does she have any family? You mentioned her parents were dead, but she needs a next of kin to decide what to do with the body." I had no words, literally speechless. "Um excuse me." The man says trying to catch my attention.

"Uh sorry." I whisper barely audible.

"Hey, kid. I know this is a lot, and no one your age should have to go through this. Just remember it wasn't your fault," Except it was. "I am truly sorry to be asking you, but I need an answer."

"Yeah, she has a brother. He's her legal guardian." I reply softly.

"Ok, can you call him?"

"I don't have his number but I know someone who does."

"Good." He says then walks away.

I sit in the waiting room and finally, I break. Tears run down my face, as I think about (Y/N). She was my first actual friend... someone I enjoyed hanging out with. And she's gone now. No, I can't do this now, I have to stay strong... for her. I quickly pull myself together and dial Yakov's number.

He picks up, "Yuri? Since when do you call me?

"Hi, I'll explain later, but I need Asher's contact information."

"Why? Besides Yuri, you know information like that is confidential." I go silent. How do I say it, I just can't. "Yuri, are you still there?"

"Yeah... " I pause and take a breath. "(Y/N)... committed suicide, and-and her brother needs to be here to decide what to with the body." I say into the phone, almost breaking into tears again.

"Oh... I'm so sorry Yuri, I know you were close," he says as a single tear rolls down my face. "Sure I'll text it to you."

"Thanks, bye." I choke out and hang up.
