Poor Finneas

BILLIES POV

Taylor and I were sitting in the car for about 5 more minutes before traffic started moving. We finally drive down the street but my phone started buzzing, I asked Taylor to answer it for me.

"Hello? No this is Taylor, Billie's driving at the moment what's up? Omg hold on we're coming" Taylor snapped her head towards me, she looked in my eyes and I could see fear.

"Billie we have to go back, Fin has been sent to hospital!" She said, I could hear her voice break. I felt my stomach flip and I felt sick.

I put the location of the hospital into the gps on the dash and we made our way there. We jumped out the car and ran inside to find Mom crying and dad trying to comfort her, saying Finneas will be alright.

"Mom, Dad what happened to Fin? Please tell me he's going to be ok!" I said, I felt hot tears start to stream down my face and Taylor quickly pulled me into a tight hug. She makes me feel safe, I'm so happy she's here with me right now. I could hear her sniffling while her head was pressed into the side of my neck.

We all sat down waiting to hear from the doctor if Finneas would be ok. Neither me or Taylor know why he's here but we would ask when he's awake. A tall doctor with an unreadable facial expression walked towards us, holding his clipboard in his hand.

"Are you Mr and Mrs O'Connell?" The doctor questioned, Mom and Dad nodded their heads.

"Finneas has been looked over, he'll be awake in an hour or so," he paused for a second, we were all waiting for the news of why Fin was in the hospital bed he's in right now.

"He was passed out in the bathroom when we got home, do you know what's up with him?" Patrick asked and the doctor looked at his clipboard and flicked through a few sheets, making sure he was correct

"Yes, he had overdosed on pharmaceuticals, mainly Paracetamols and Advils" I saw my parents turn pale, and I felt myself become sick again. Taylor was just shocked but I still felt safe with her arm wrapped around my waist, she was about 3 inches shorter than me, but that's not important.

An hour or so had passed and we got to visit Fin, he was lying in his hospital bed with a blue hospital gown on, he looked like he was dead. The purple bags under his eyes we hadn't noticed before, he slowly lifted his head to look at us.

"Oh my god Finneas!" My mom screamed and ran over to him to engulf him in a hug, sobbing as Finneas hugged her back tightly.

"I'm sorry Mom, Dad, Billie. I just... I don't know what I was doing,"  He said as his voice broke at the end of the sentence, he started crying too.

Fin has never done anything like this before, he's always so happy and he always smiles and is telling jokes. Maybe we haven't payed enough attention to his health, or has he been hiding it from us because he was afraid we wouldn't take him seriously.

"Fin it's o-" before I could even finish my sentence the doctor burst in with a clipboard in his hand.

"Umm excuse me, Mr and Mrs O'Connell, I have some bad news"
