Key to my heart

The sky continues to cry

Alex took a seat beside Sasha , she swallowed her breath and was hoped he would say something before she gave him the news , he just sat in silence "Alex , I've been seeing a psychologist for a little bit now ."  

"I hope its helping you ." Alex said grabbing Sasha's tiny hands . 

"Actually about that , he said it's gotten worse and that I should be admitted into rehab before its too late ." Sasha's eyes began to water , she knew what was best for her , she couldnt deny it anymore , she couldnt deny that she was mentally ill . 

"You know you have a problem , then why cant you just fix it yourself ?" Alex spoke bluntly and surprisingly calm . 

"That's not how it works , I cant change , I've tried and obviously it didn't work ." Sasha stopped in her words , her heart beating faster she shouted "I need professional help !"

"You can come live with me , I'll help you , I can't lose you ." Alex stood up furiously .

"You won't lose me , once I'm doing better I will be released and it will be like old times but you won't have to worry anymore ." She smiled , it was forced , it was plain to see . Sasha didn't want Alex to be angry . "I'm sorry.  This is how it has to be ."

"What happened ?" Stella asked Alex as he exited Sasha's hospital room in a frustrating state . He continued to walk down the hall , ignoring his friends .
"Liam what should we do ?" Stella asked as they watched him walk away .

"I don't know , but we can't let him be alone ." Liam knew that Alex would cut himself off from the world as soon as he gets home.  Thats one thing he couldn't let happen .

"Your right !" Stella said enthusiastically , she ran up to Alex and linked her arm with his . "Don't worry Alex , everything will be okay ."

Forcefully pulling his arm away Alex's face grew scary "How do you know ?"

"I....I don't know but you must be positive ." Stella stuttered trying to take his hand again .

"What if they can't help her ?What if she goes crazy ?  What if they give her the wrong medicine ?" Alex's glasses fell to the floor as he tried to cover his reddened face that was wet from his tears .

Stella wrapped her arms around him , her head resting on his chest "You need to trust the decision that has been made ." Alex lazily laid his head on her shoulder , Stella's hair brushed against his skin , it felt refreshing in his soaking cheeks .

Wiping his face , he forcefully smiled "Your right , I should go and apologize to Sasha ."

Watching Alex from behind , Liam stood beside her "You did well Stella , I probably would have slapped him ."

"You think so ?" Stella looked into Liam's eyes hoping she had gotten through to Alex . "It's really hard to believe it will be okay even when it currently isn't okay ."

Liam looked at Stella seriously "You sound like that's how you have felt before ."

"Nah it's what a close friend told me , I don't really get sad . Happy mind equals happy life ." She started to reach into her hand bag , pulling out some medicine .

"What are those ?" Liam asked Stella curiously .

"Just some pills for my hair and nails . I lack a vitamin in my body that causes my hairs to go all weird ." Stella explained simple just to make sure no one would worry about her . "Let's go say goodbye to Sasha , visiting hours are nearly over ."

"Time flew by ." Liam giggled , "I wish we could have stayed longer ."

"Are you in love with Sasha ?" Stella asked .

Liam looked away from her "No , I cant love her ."

"That's not how it works , you can't help falling for someone ." Stella smiled to herself , it seemed as though she was talking to herself in a way .

"Sasha's young , she needs a real man ."  Liam started walking faster but before getting too far Stella yanked his arm . He turned in surprise .

"Liam , you are a real man , don't ever think you aren't . You deserve to love her and she deserves to love you ." Stellas green eyes had a sort of fire growing in them , Liam thought of how beautiful this fire looked .

"I think that's enough ." Liam pulled away . His soft blue eyes had fear in them .

They both walked into Sasha's room awkwardly . "I'm so sad you have to go now , I really hoped we could have spent more time together. " This was the last time she would see them for a while , her heart was screaming don't go .

"I'll miss you Sasha , I'll find time to come visit you ." Alex said letting go of her tiny , neatly presented hands .

"I'm sorry , I wish you all the best ." Stella said hugging Sasha as tight as she could bare .

"This is what I need . Please understand ." she whispered .

"Bye . See you soon ." Liam was blunt , giving Sasha a quick simple hug . 

"Thank you for coming to see me , I really will miss you all , don't forget about me ." Smiling , she waved , but as the doors closed the tears started . No one wants to go to rehab . "Why am I like this ?" She whispered over and over again . All she wanted was answers .

"Why don't we go out ? Maybe to the arcade ?" Liam suggested happily as if nothing had happened . "It will take our minds off everything ."

"That sounds like a perfect idea ." Stella agreed smiling again .

"That's two votes , I guess I have no choice then ." Alex said with a little bit of what could be called a smile .

"We know you secretly really want to ." Liam said brushing his hands through his brown hair that needed to be trimmed soon . "You're not fooling anyone ."

"You're right , the arcades are my specialty ." Alex grinned , bragging a little for once .

Getting in the car , Stella had realized she forgot her bag in Sasha's room ." Oh damn , I forgot my bag , I'll run and go get it ." She actually ran into the hospital , she didn't want to waste time .

"Sasha ." Stella called out , entering the room . She was crying . "It will be alright ." Stella hugged her , crying a little herself as well .

"Why do I hurt so much ? It hurts and I can't stop feeling this way ." Sasha tried to speak as clearly as she could .

"Sasha , we will always be here , you have our full support but if you want to get better , treatment is needed ." Stella needed to convince it was the best way .

"What if I don't need medication and it's all in my head ?" Sasha wanted to tell people she was fine but how could she know ?

"Don't worry . Only good will happen , I promise ." Stella couldn't keep that promise but she needed Sasha to feel at eaze . "I better go ."

"Thank you ." Sasha wiped her eyes and they said their goodbyes .

"Sorry I took long ." Stella said jumping into the front passenger seat of the car .

"Let's roll ." Liam said slowly putting on his sun glasses .
