Gus's POV

Doctors swarmed the room and pushed us out. I saw them trying to bring her back to life but it wasn't working. I fell to my knees and started to scream and pray. Everything just rushed to my head. Every memory, every moment, everything. It made me scream and cry even harder. Bexey tried to help me but there was no use. I started choking on air and hit the ground over and over. The Lexapro image she posted swarmed my head. So many things were happening at once, it gave me a headache. Bexey pulled me up the best he could giving me a glimpse of inside the room where I saw Rose look at me and cry. It felt fake.

"No, no, no, no!" I yelled. Everyone who was in the waiting room looked at me in shock. They probably thought I was crazy or something. Then the doctors came out and some kept asking me if I'm ok. I didn't answer and ran in to see Rose awake.

Rose's POV

Wow. Where do I even start? I guess with the fact that I just woke up from a life threatening coma thing. All I saw was black but I heard my surroundings. I heard everything Gus said to me. It was heart breaking. But when I woke up, that was the most heart breaking things. I knew in the back of my mind the whole time that if I survive this, then I would go through some serious stuff since suicide isn't a joke. When I woke up though, that was the most serious thing ever. The saddest thing ever. So I, basically, saw this bright light for a minute until everything went black then white. Then I saw doctors around me and I turned to look out this window which showed the waiting room. Gus was being pulled up by Bexey and he was crying, screaming, his hair was stuck to his face since he was crying. I could hear him screaming no then fall back down. The doctors left and he ran in.

"Gus." I smiled.

"Rose!" He hugged me and cried hard.

"It's ok, I'm here." I whispered and played with his hair trying to calm him down. He was having an anxiety attack. Bexey got him water.

"Rose." Bexey hugged me. I had to play with both of their hair just to calm them both down. I'll admit it was adorable. Then a doctor called them out. I could hear her say certain stuff like, 'Mental' 'Help' and 'One month'. Then they all came back in.

"Ok, Miss Arquette." She smiled weakly and sighed. "So you're gonna be admitted into a mental health hospital for about a month. But that's gonna be in a couple of days. The rest of us think you need some... professional mental help. You'll be staying there and Gus will visit you everyday. After a month, they'll write back to us to see how you're doing. If they feel that you've been doing better then you'll get to come home with them. If they feel you haven't changed then you'll stay for another month. And that will be in London since your friend, Bexey has a house out there, it'd be easier."

"Wait. I don't wanna go." I cried.

"But you-" She started off but Gus interrupted her.

"No. I got this." He walked over to me and got in his knees. "Look, it's gonna be for the best. You'll get the proper help you need. You're loved, Rose. If you would have died, I would have been devastated. You're my everything and believe me, I hate to see you go to this but if it'll help, then you should."

"I-" I sighed. "Ok."

"We're gonna take the your bus to London tomorrow. You're leaving later today." He kissed my forehead.
