It's been a few days now and no one has come to see me. Travis and Garroth tried talking to everyone, but they wouldn't listen. Laurence was the one who stayed with me. Sometimes he even stayed the night with me. I became silent. I never said a word unless there was a question asked. Then I would reply saying the answer and then I would be quiet. 

It hurt.

Knowing that everyone hates me because I was afraid of something that happened. And it was my fault. I should have told them in the beginning, but I was afraid. Afraid of them leaving me again and my world crashing down on me for a second time. Garroth and Travis came over a few times, but Laurence was the main person that came over and talked to me and comforted me.

It still hurts.

   " Y/n?"

I looked at the door and saw Laurence's silhouette in the door. I nodded saying he can come in. He came in and sat by me.

   " You know it wasn't your fault. You feared the rejection like last time, but it wasn't your fault. "

   " Laurence I don't deserve you. "

   " No Y/n I don't deserve you. You are special to survive everything you've done. Now you're still surviving and I admire you for that. I could never have gone this long. I probably wouldn't have made it through high school. "

   " You helped me through it. "

   " Still. Garroth and Travis are trying to talk to them. "

   " Maybe things will go back to normal. "

   " I'm sure. "

He stood up and before he left he asked me,

   " Do you want something to eat? You haven't really eaten anything in the past few days. "

   " No. "

He didn't say anything. He just left. He was right. I didn't eat anything in the past few days. I was skin and bones. It hurt the first day, but I got used to it. I didn't really want to eat. I saw it as pointless. I felt my stomach growl really loud and hard. I ignored it and decided I would lay down. I laid down and closed my eyes. Letting the darkness consume me. 

( Dream )

It was dark. I didn't see anything. I could move though, just very slowly. As I walked there was nothing for miles. Then a little spark went off a few feet in front of me. It disappeared as soon as it came. Then it came back, but instead of leaving it became bigger and bigger. It became a white staircase.

   " What?"

It was a pure white staircase. As if a feather touched it, it would be ruined. It lead into a bright white light. It looked warm and nice.

( Reality Laurence's P.O.V. )

I walked back upstairs. I made Y/n some chicken and french fries. Something to satisfy her and work up her appetite. I knocked on the door.

   " Y/n?"

   " ... "

Quiet as usual. I opened the door and saw her laying on her bed. I sighed and set the food on the nightstand beside her. I sat beside her and rubbed my hand through her H/l H/c hair. She looked really pale.

   ' The lose of food is getting to her. '

Her breathing was coming out slow. I checked her pulse worried. It was slow but it was there. I grabbed my phone and dialed 911.

   " 911 what is your emergency?"

   " F/n L/n at Lovers~Lane house 67 is losing her pulse and is looking ghostly pale. "

   " The ambulance is on its way. Stay with her until they get there. "

   " Okay. Thank you. "

I picked Y/n up and walked downstairs and walked outside waiting for the ambulance. I called Travis.

   " Hey, man what's up?"

   " Y/n is going to the hospital. I just called the ambulance. "

   " What!"

   " Please tell Everyone. I'm calling Garroth next. "

   " Okay. I will. Take care of her!"

   " I'm trying. "

I hung up and called Garroth next.

   " Hey Laurence what's up?"

   " Y/n is going to the hospital!"

   " What why!?"

   " I don't know. I think she is starving herself to death. "

   " Okay. Just stay calm Laurence. Did you call 911?"

   " Yes, I'm waiting outside for the ambulance. "

   " Okay. I'll be over there in a minute. "

   " Alright hurry. "

Then he hung up. I saw Travis run to Aph and Aaron's house and Garroth running over here to Y/n. Once he made it he looked at her. then the ambulance came. They took her and put her inside. Garroth and I climbed inside and they drove to the hospital.

   " What's happened to her? Do either of you guys know?"

   " I think she may have starved herself to death. "

   " Let me check. "

He did a check on her and he nodded his head saying I was right.

   " Her body is currently eating her fat cells, and that's what is keeping her alive right now. "

Garroth and I nodded as we traveled to the hospital. When we got there They ran her inside and They ade Garroth and I stay behind. Eventually, Travis called saying everyone's coming. Once they made it they asked what happened. I stood up and told them the cold hard truth. 

   " She was starving herself to death. It was because you all left her. "

   " It's her fault for not telling us. " Katlyn said.

   " She was afraid to tell you. She was afraid you would leave her or take advantage of her singing. She told me about it. It's happened to her before. And it looks like her fear came true and you all left her. You didn't even listen to Travis, Garroth, or myself. "

They all just looked down in shame. It was the cold truth, but they needed to hear it.

   " We need to stop pushing her away. We need to let her explain everything to us and not shut her out. That's what happens every time. Something happens to her, and we shut her out without letting her explain. "

   " And we need to hear her out. She has a different perspective from us. " Travis said.

   " We lost her once, and we are losing her again because no one will open up to her and listen to her or the people trying to help her. We need to stop this cause this time we could lose her forever. We were lucky we found her now we are losing her again. " Garroth said.

They all nodded and sat down. I sat down with Garroth and Travis. Now, all we have to do is play the waiting game.

I think she is going to lose this game of life.
