Jennifer's pov.
I took slow steps into Liam's hospital room. My heart was beating faster by the minute. I wasn't sure if I was really ready to face him, I mean if he really tried committing suicide I was the only reason.
I walked at pace which ticked off my brother and he shook me by the shoulders like a bobble head.

Jennifer: Alex!

Alex: shh.... this isn't your hospital and you aren't on a runway, so please stop acting like it.

Jennifer: Alex, I'm not in a mood to argue with you so just walk ahead of me.

Alex: Come on sis, I'm just trying to lighten the sadist mood you got there.

Jennifer: Shaking your sister like a bobble head does NOT lighten anything.

Alex: Fine let's go.

They opened the room door and were hit by the scent of medicine. The hospital itself smelt like someone washed the floors with hand sanitizer.
Liam looked pale and gloomy. On seeing his parents he attempted to sit up and did it quite successfully.

Jennifer's pov.
Liam's father gave him a warm hug while his mother pelted kisses on his forehead. Liam looked miserable in that hospital robe.
Just as I was talking a step towards him he turned his head to the other side.
I felt awful and knew it was best for me to sit outside at least I know he's alright.

Jennifer: um....I'll just give you guys some family time. Shall we go Alex?

Mrs Drew: Oh Liam what was that for?

Mr Drew: we know there's something you must be going through but you can't treat your friend like that.

Alex: yeah dude ,we agree you're going through a tough time but it's no excuse.

Jennifer: Come on guys , it's alright. He needs some time alone. Why Don't you guys attack him on something else..... like the question?

Liam finally turned his face back to them trying to avoid looking at Jennifer who was leaving.

Mace: Right!
Jennifer don't move an inch, you wanted to know more than anyone else.

Jennifer: Oh okay.......

Mace: Liam, we all want to know, did you attempt suicide?

Liam: what?
No.....I would never

Mace: what about the sleeping pills??

Liam: I couldn't sleep so I took some.

Mace: some?
Bro you took half a bottle.

Liam: okay maybe I got carried away. I just wanted to get some sleep.

Mace: By the looks of it you wanted to sleep forever, I mean look at you your not even surprised to be here.

Liam: The doctor already told me.

Mrs Drew: Next time you can't sleep try another method or maybe read the prescription bottle

Liam: I will.

Alex: Jenny, you know Liam to well and you were right.

Jennifer: Best friends always know each other to well. Anyways get well soon Liam. Goodbye everyone.

Liam's pov.
Okay maybe I overreacted but I'm still hurting and seeing her , hurt even more.
Her ocean blue eyes were filled with so much care for me but that care had only friendship kinda love in it and not the kind of love I wanted.
I'll try my best to talk to her.

Liam: where's Lucy?

Mrs Drew: she hasn't shown up yet....
Well at least you know who cares for you.

Liam: Oh mum let's not differentiate between my best friends.

Mrs Drew: Alright but just know we all like Jennifer more.

Mace: yeah bro.

Lucy: That's nice to know......

Mrs Drew: Lucy!
I didn't realize you were standing there...

Lucy: The door was open but I'm glad I know what you all think of me.

Lucy had tears in her eyes.

Mr Drew: I'm sure Diane didn't mean to make it sound like she hates you.

Mrs Drew: Yes, I didn't mean for it to sound like that.

Lucy: I heard everything and it's okay to like someone else more.
It doesn't bother me.

Liam: Thanks for coming Lucy and sorry you had to hear that. Just for the record I just had to many pills.

Lucy: Don't worry about it Liam .
I'm glad your alright so I'll just head out now. Take care

Lucy's pov.
That stung like acid, I always knew Liam preferred Jennifer over me but now his family too.
I'm sick of it and it's high time I teach Jennifer a lesson she won't forget.
Everyone thinks she's Better than me well now.....I'm going to make her life a living HELL.

Will Liam and Jennifer get back to being best friends?
What is Lucy planning?
Will Jennifer try patching up with Lucy before she makes her life a living hell?
