Not Myself

"Please drink some water." Luke says. "No!" I say. "I know you're not full." He says. "I'm not thirsty either." I say. "I'm worried about you Rach." He says. "Good for you." I say. "It's scary seeing you this way." Luke says hugging me. "How?" I ask. "It's not you." He says. "I'm gonna take a nap." I say laying down. Luke puts a blanket on me.

Luke's' POV:

I'm gonna stay here for the whole day. I'll probably leave thirty minutes before her mom comes home. I don't really know what else to do. I guess I'll take a nap too. I lay next to Rachel and I fall asleep.

...

*7:47pm*

I wake up and I see Rachel watching tv. "Hey." I say stretching. "Hi." She says. "So uh... what're you watching?" I ask. "Old 90s shows." She says. "Oh. Cool." "Well my mom should be here in a couple of minutes." "Okay. I guess you're good?" "Yea... bye." She says. "Bye." I say walking out the door.

...

Andrea:

*8:12pm*

I decide to call Rachel.

There's no answer. "I guess she fell asleep." I say to myself. I put my car in the driveway and I open the door. The tv's still on but Rachel's not down here. "Rach!" I call. There's no answer. I here the shower running. I guess she's taking a shower. "Never mind!" I say.

...

*8:22pm*

I hear the shower still running. "Rach you've been in there for a long time!" I say knocking on the door. I open the door and I see her on the floor. "Rachel!" I yell kneeling on the floor. Her eyes are closed. She must've fainted. I grab my phone and I call 911.

...

Luke's' POV:

I get my phone and my earbuds to listen to some music. Nirvana comes on. I jump onto my bed thinking. What if I have to get out of here and move back to Australia? What if Rachel tries to kill herself again? What if life just doesn't change back to normal? I begin to hear an ambulance. In my mind I'm thinking 'what the duck' but outside I don't really wanna know. I lay on my bed and I close my eyes.

...

*8:39pm*

I have nothing else to do so I guess I can take a little walk. It wouldn't kill me.

I get outside and I start walking to music. I see the ambulance in front of Rachel's' house. I watch as it drives away. I run into my house and I quickly get my car keys. I run out to my car then I drive off.

...

I get to the hospital. I see Rachel's' mom. "What happened?!" I ask running up to her. "I guess she fainted. I don't really know what happened. The shower water had been running for about ten minutes so I went upstairs and saw her on the floor." Her mom cries. "Oh..." I say. "We need to wait here." She tells me. I nod and sit down. I put my hands on my head trying to think. She's been acting weird lately, she threw up today, she tried to kill herself... what is happening? Is it that time of month?

...

After a few minutes, the nurse calls us in to see her. Luckily her eyes are open. I grab a chair and I sit next to her. "Hey." I half smile. "Hey." She smiles. "So what happened?" Her mom asks. "I remember turning on the shower and getting lightheaded." She explains. "Why we're you feeling so lightheaded?" She asks. "..." she takes a deep breath for a moment. "I haven't eaten in a couple days." She says. "What? So you s- starved yourself?" Her mom stutters. "I wasn't trying to I just... wasn't hungry for some reason." She says. "Rach." I say holding her hand. "Can we uh... have a moment?" Rach asks her mom. "Sure." She says walking out.

"So that's why you weren't acting... you?" I ask. "I guess. I just wasn't in the mood for anything since everything has been happening lately." She says. "Speaking of that... are you sure you don't want Ashton to talk to you?" I say regretting it. "Are you saying you want me to talk to him?" She asks. "Only if you want to. I was just asking since you weren't... you know acting yourself." I say scratching the back of my neck. "... I guess I do want to talk to him." She breathes. "Okay." I say. "But I don't want him to know about any of this. Okay?" She says. "He won't know." I smile.

...

*Wednesday- 5:45am*

I wonder if Rach came home. I wonder if she ate when she got home... this is if she's even home. I get out of bed and I take a shower. I wonder what today holds...
