*Mary's POV*

I made sure Alex closed the door behind him before I sat down next to my brother.

"Hey John..." I said slowly, taking in everything. He looked almost dead, this face almost as pale as the white hospital walls.

Henry didn't tell me exactly what happened. Only that John was in the hospital.

He said that I shouldn't go the first day, so I watched James and Martha.

He didn't tell me how John had attempted suicide. I only knew because I over heard him talking to Lafayette on the phone.

"I'm sorry..." I said, my voice breaking. Tears unwillingly came down my face. "This is my fault..."

I'm the reason that my brother is in a hospital bed instead of being home.

"I-I didn't mean what I said.." I said, digging my nails into my palm. "I just took my anger out on you. I know I'm a horrible sister..." I trailed off, not exactly sure what to say.

"P-please wake up. James and Martha won't stop asking when you'll be back home. They need you. W-we need you." I said, putting my head in my hands.

I heard the door open and I immediately turned around to see who it was.
