"Is he going to be ok ?" I heard the echo of a voice. He sounded familiar.
"He should be ok. We pumped his stomach." Another voice answered.
It hurt to move. My head was pounding and my stomach felt like it was on fire.
I opened my eyes,blurry figures rushed to my side. Bright fluorescent lights flooded my eyes which made it harder to see."Hunter ?" I heard one of the figures say. I tried to make him out. I think it was sam.
"Sam ?" I groaned
"Yeah bud it's me" he answered
"What's going on ?" I was so confused
"You took a handful of pills hunter. Everyone thinks you tried to kill yourself. It's all over the news" he said sadly
"What ?" I gasped
"Hunter we tried for days to get ahold of you. I finally gave up and asked sam to try thinking you might respond to him before me. He called you but you didn't answer. He tried all day and called you a million times. He got worried and went over to your apartment and he knocked and knocked but you didn't answer. He had the manger let him in and they found you on your bed." Betsy said. From the other side of my hospital bed.
I kept quiet. I couldn't believe what happened. I really got so upset I took all the pills David had given me.
"Hunter,what happened ? What's going on ?" sam asked
"I haven't been able to sleep. My friend gave me these sleeping anti depressant pills. He said they would help. They did but I guess I took to many." I lied
"Hunter. That's not true. They had to pump your stomach. We need to know if your tried to kill yourself." Betsy asked
"No I didn't." I shook my head. I couldn't tell them the truth. I was ashamed of myself.
"Dude, I know it's been hard for you lately but if you tried to hurt yourself we need to know. We want to help you,we care about you hunter." sam looked so upset. I felt like shit. I couldn't help but get all emotional. I am ruining everyone's lives.
"I just wanted to sleep sam ! I didn't really think about it ! I'm sorry ! I didn't want to take all the pills really I didn't but I have been depressed and I thought it would help. I didn't think about the effects. I knew that I could die but I just don't care anymore ! I'm sorry ! please don't care about me ! please ! I'm not worth it. I'm ashamed of myself and everything I've done. Don't care sam really don't. I don't so neither should anyone else." I began to cry.
"Hunter no. We care, I care. Everyone cares about you. You've helped people with your music before. Now you need help and that's ok. I'll always care. So get used to it." He rubbed my shoulder
I hated people seeing me like this. A pathetic crying piece of shit. I'm worthless.
"Please don't. I don't care about anything anymore." I shook my head
"Sweetie please let us help you." Betsy begged
"How ! how the hell can anyone help me ? I fucking suck ! I'm a worthless washed up low life piece of shit ! you shouldn't have helped me ! you should've just left me in my apartment ! you should've just left me on my bed ! you shouldn't wast your time on someone like me ! everyone thought that I was great on my way to being someone. Having a good career but I wasn't and I'm not. There's not point to anything anymore. I give up. I give up on music. Me, my life. All of it. I'm done !" I cried more
"Please don't talk like this hunter. You used to be so positive and happy. We can help you get back to that good place in life. I promise, just please let us help !" sam pleaded.
"We can help you get back on your feet. Just please don't let one bad thing ruin your life. We all care hunter." She pleaded with sam.
"I can't" I choked out
"Yes you can ! just please be strong. We will help you get through this, you just have to let us be there for you and you can't push us away just because you are ashamed. There's nothing to be shamed of. " Sam begged again.
" I guess. But you guys aren't going to be able to help me. Your wasting your time." I wiped my face from the tears
"Thank you hunter ! thank you ! please just don't try anything like this again. You have to try with us. We need you to try to help yourself otherwise it won't work." Betsy said
"I will try." I put my head down unable to look at either of them.
"Rest up, we will have you picked up tomorrow and brought back to your place. Ok ?" Betsy smiled
"Ok. Why can't I go home right now ?" I questioned
"You had your stomach pumped. They want to make sure your ok and don't get sick." sam answered.
"Oh. Ok. I'll see you guys later" I said
"Alright. Get some sleep hunter" sam smiled
They walked out of my room shutting the door behind them. I really almost died. I took my phone off the table that was next to me. I opened twitter which I hadn't done in weeks. I saw a bunch of tweets regarding my "accident". There were all kinds of different reports on me. I read I few.

I saw pictures people had taken of me on a stretcher. Others of paramedics putting an oxygen mask on me. Police were all around my apartment building. I stared at the pictures and all the headlines. I couldn't believe it.everyone knew what loser I was. It was literally everywhere. I saw tweets saying things like
"I can't believe he tried to kill himself"
"He must have been so sad. I feel bad for him"
"Pray for hunter ! get him through his depression"
"Poor hunter,he used to be so happy and talented,what happened ?"
I felt myself get the same pit feeling that I felt right before I swallowed all those pills. I decided I should put my phone down before I did anything stupid. I closed my eyes and tried to push everything that happened out of my head and get some sleep.
