Triple Threat

TWENTY-SEVEN

3 hours later...

I pace back and forth in the emergency room and watch the clock as seconds run by slowly.

8:45 pm, I check my phone and wait longer. 8:46pm, my phone reads after I've waited for what I though was 30 minutes.

I set my head against the plain wall and close my eyes.

"Miss Dolan?" I hear someone whisper and I blink open my eyes slowly and squint from the fluorescent lights. I see a man in a white coat and I quickly sit up straight. "Sorry Doctor Stephens." I apologize and he smiles faintly. "It's fine." He nods and I wait for him to tell me if Gray is stable.

"He's fine. Lost a lot of blood but we stitched him up and he should be able to leave in about 2 hours." He confirms and I feel relief escape my tense body. "We also had to filter out his blood, high amount of antibiotics and alcohol?" He gives me a questioning look and I shrug.

"He uh, was passed out when I found him at my house. We are split up so I wouldn't know about the antibiotics." I sorta lie and he nods. "I see. Well we found Venlafaxine in his system, an antidepressant and anxiety medication. Mixed with alcohol can cause complications that aren't fatal but when exceeded to it's extent can be harmful." He informs and my breath hitches.

"Wow. Um. I-" I couldn't finish the sentence and he just Pats my hand and nods. "He's fine." He concludes and walks down the hall to another room.

I grab my purse quickly and dig through it until i find my medication. I read the label and shake my head. I unscrew the lid and count the pills and face palm when i realize there are about 3 missing.

I struggle to screw the top back on and I drop the bottle when I feel someone touch my back. "Oh shit." Ethan says aloud and I groan and get on my hands and knees and pick up the mess.

"What are those for?" Ethan grabs a few off the ground and stares before handing them to me and I ignore him.

"Misa?!" He growls and I stop and stare at him hard. "Excuse me miss, is everything okay?" I see a nurse in blue and i smile and nod. "Yes, thank you " I respond nicely ad sanely and turn back to E.

I continue to place the pills in the yellow bottle when he grabs my wrist and Yanks the bottle from my grasp. He reads the label and gives me a look and I look away.

"You could have told me." He said and i scoff. "Its not a big deal." I say and grab the bottle from his hand and secure it and throw it in my purse.

"Not a big deal! You are taking pills because your depressed! And out drink! I didn't even know you were depressed Misa! Shit like this is what you tell me about!" He whispers harshly and i snap. "Why would I tell you! We weren't close! You never came by! And it's no one's business but mine." I clench my jaw and grab my bag and head to Grayson's room. "What about gray?" He asked and I stopped in my tracks.

"He found out on his own." I say and I walk down the hall.

2 hours later...

We arrive at the house, tension between all three of us and I try my best to ignore it.

"You can stay here until you are okay. Then get out." I say harshly and grayson gives me a sad look. "Look misa.. I'm so sorr-" "I get it Grayson you're sorry. I've heard it over and over again. Did you think this would of changed my mind? Trying to kill yourself? You did it before and you tried to do it again?" I spoke with anger in my voice and he held onto the bandage on his arm and was silent.
