Chapter Seven

Cody's POV

I didn't sleep last night worth shit. I decided I should call Chris and Hannah. It was a school day but Jen was more important at the moment. I decided to call Chris first.

"Hey Chris, Jen is home you should go get Hannah and come over here and help me out," I say.

"Yah sure man, she ok?" Chris asks.

"Honestly no man, she's terrible, it's so fucking sad," I reply.

"Alright man Hannah and I will be there in about a half hour." He replies.

I hang up and go back upstairs to check on Jen. She was awake now. Her hair was very tangled, I figure when Chris and Hannah get here that Hannah can help Jen with that.

"Hey, Jen, Hannah, and Chris will be here in a half hour or so," I say.

"You invited them over? But my room is a disaster, everything's so gross, there's no way I want them to see this." She says quickly.

"Jen stop worrying, they are not going to judge you," I reassure her.

Jennies POV

I know that there going to want to clean my room. There are too many things in my room I don't want them to see. I guess I can make Cody and Chris go downstairs while Hannah and I take care of the room. Hannah already knows about my secrets so that wouldn't matter. And I need Cody to go away for a minute anyway, I need to call jade, I don't want to but he is the only one I trust to take me to the hospital. There's so much going on today. My mom would be coming home around three and I have no clue where my dad is. I just know if I walk around with this cut bleeding like it is that ill pass out again.

"Hey, Cody could you get me a juice from the kitchen?" I ask.

"Yah sure." He replies as he heads downstairs.

I take this opportunity to make a quick call to Jade.

"Hey, Jen didn't expect to hear from you." He says.

"I need you to take me to the hospital, you were right ok, I'm not fine, this cut is relentless and I don't want Cody asking questions," I say.

"Alright, ill come around six or seven." He replies.

I hang up on him right as Cody came through the doorway.

"Hey Jen, Chris, and Hannah are here they will be upstairs in a minute," Cody says while handing me my juice.

Right as he says that Hannah and Chris enter my room. Hannah came at me first and gave me a big hug, then Chris.

"So our goal is to get Jen's room clean," Cody says.

"Can you and Chris step out for a minute I need to talk to Hannah," I ask Cody.

"Alright," Cody replies.

When Cody and Chris leave I decide to tell Hannah.

"Hannah I can't have them clean my room there is to much shit in here that will give away secrets that I don't want them knowing about yet," I tell her.

"Like what Jen?" Se asks.

"Blades, pills, cigarettes, and just bloody shit and stuff," I reply

"I'm glad you're being honest with me Jen, its a step in the right direction, and ok ill make sure you and I get all the bad stuff out before they help." She replies.

Hannah turned on the TV downstairs for Cody and Jack so we could take care of my room. I trusted Hannah but as she went through everything and was finding stuff I could see the hurt in her face. She threw away every blade she found, which made me mad a little cause it meant I had to go to the store and buy more. Within an hour we got all the evidence of my lies out of my room. Then we let Cody and Chris up to help with everything else. The amount of trash I had everywhere made me sick inside, I didn't realize how disgusting it was until now. Right as we were finishing cleaning the last bit I look at the clock to see it was five thirty. I'll have to find a way to sneak out when Jade comes.

"Well Jen, I think your room looks great now," Chris says.

"I think so too," I reply.

Everyone was so tired, including me. Hannah and Chris fell asleep to the TV downstairs while Cody was asleep on my bed. I was on my bed as well and I kept slipping in and out of sleep. Then I heard my phone ding and saw a text from Jade.

Jade: Hey I'm here

Me: alright be out in a min

I slipped my shoes on and went out the back door as quietly as I could. As I was walking down the driveway my dizziness hit me at the worst time possible. My feet gave out beneath me and I plummeted into the grass luckily.

I hear footsteps rush towards me, I attempt to look up to see Jade.

"Aw, shit man you should have gone to the hospital sooner." He says as he carries me to the car.

Everything was pretty blurry but I was conscious enough to know he was speeding.

"Stop going so fast your going to get pulled over," I say.

"I need to go fast, you don't realize how bad you are, your white as a sheet and your lips are turning blue, I'm surprised none of your friends noticed," Jade replies.

We arrived at the hospital a couple minutes later, Jade carried me into the ER and nurses came at me right away.

"How long has she been like this?" One of the nurses asked.

"More than a couple hours," Jade replies.

They rushed me to a room and hooked me into an IV, I guess I needed a blood transfusion due to the amount of blood loss. I was pretty damn dizzy I ended up just falling asleep. I was awakened by Jade shaking me gently.

"Hey its been like two hours, they said you're good enough to go home, and they stitched up your cut," Jade says quietly.

"Oh shit, two hours? I really hope no one noticed me being gone." I reply

"Don't worry about it, also the doctor talked to me and told me that you are severely underweight and that you need to start eating, I didn't even know you had an issue with eating," Jade replies.

"I don't know can you please take me home," I ask while climbing out of the hospital bed.

"Yes, I'm parked out front," he replies.

It takes him about twenty minutes to get me home. When I arrived all the lights were still off and Cody and Hannahs's cars were still parked out front. I waved goodbye to Jade and told him thank you. I sneaked back through the back door and ran into my mom which was kind of a surprise. She gave me a hug and then pulled away.

"I can explai-

"No need to I'm sure you had your reasons for leaving, your friends are all asleep, I suggest you go to sleep as well." My mom interrupts.

I nod in reply and head upstairs. I open my bedroom door and Cody is still sound asleep. I get changed into my night clothes and curl up in the sleeping bag on the floor. Right as I was drifting off, I feel a tap on my arm. I look up to see Cody.

"Hey, you can lay with me on the bed, I'm not going to let you sleep on the hard floor." He says.

I get up and climb into bed. As I drifted into sleep I felt Cody's arm wrap around me. It made me feel safe.
