Is it Worth the Pain?

The black out

Apparently, when I passed out, my mom texted me saying

"Hi honey. I have to go on a week business trip but I have everything I need so I won't be home for another week. Remember, the code to the gun safe is 4563. Love you."

Alex found me in my house. He heard what happened to me at school and ran to my house. Then he found me and brought me here. And now here I am in a hospital too because I tried committing suicide. Am I proud of it? Of course not.

Alex and I just spent a long time talking.

"You know what. I'm glad I found you there." He said.

"Why'd you take me here anyway?" I asked.

"Because I care about you. I would've missed you."

"Aww. Thanks."

"Why did you try commit suicide anyway?"

"Because of Lexi. The picture, the texts, the hate. I couldn't handle it."

"Don't worry Maya. Once she sees you walk into the school with me, she'll shut up. She thinks that she defeated you."

Darling, she has.

"Oh." I said

"Yeah. But don't worry. I'm going to hang out with you even if Lexi doesn't like it."

"Good." I replied.

We just kept talking and talking.

The next day, the doctor let me go home. Alex walked me home and stayed with me there. I showed him around the house. The bathroom, my room, my moms room, living room, kitchen. When I showed him my moms closet, he found the small gun safe with a pistol in it.

"What's this for?" He asked

"House protection. My mom has always had a gun in the house. She just doesn't feel safe without it" I replied.

"Ohh ok." He said

I knew the code incase anything bad happened. I stayed home from school that day and Alex stayed with me. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
