TRIGGER WARNING: suicide attempt!! Please don't read if triggered, stay strong my loves💓

The next morning I woke up to my phone ringing.

I looked to it, seeing Luke's name.

I immediately stumbled to my feet, tiredly running out of the room before answering.

"Hey" I tried to sound as awake as I could manage.

"It's eleven in the evening, how the hell are you still sleeping?" His voice laughed out.

"Long night" I laughed tiredly with him.

"What happened?" His voice went serious.

"Uh- Tracey told me to stop donating" I spoke simply.

"She did what?" His voice got louder.

"She said she wants to die, she wants me to stop donating to her, she's making me talk to my parents today." I mumbled out.

"What are you going to do?" He asked me.

I went silent for a second

I knew what I wanted

"I'm going to talk to my parents."

"Maybe you should wait until I'm back-" "the sooner they know, the sooner they'll put her on the donors list for her kidney" I spoke, and I had a good point.

"You'll keep me updated?" He questioned.

"Of course."

"Aaliyah" he spoke.

"Yeah" I spoke back quickly.

"I love you, no matter what"

I smiled

"I love you too" I exhaled.

My own family.

I went into Tracey's room, seeing everyone awake.

"Aaliyah has something to talk to you guys about" Tracey spoke, turning the tv off.

She surely gave me time to prepare myself.

"What is it?" My dad asked, looking to me.

"I- I" I cleared my throat, feeling Tracey grab my hand, giving it a small squeeze.

"I want to stop donating" I spoke carefully.

The room went completely silent.

"No" my moms voice spoke first.

"What the fuck, Aaliyah" my dad spoke.

"She needs a life-" "shut up" my mom interrupted Tracey.

"Those doctors put this into your heads, didnt they?" She spat out.

"What, no-" "we're leaving, we've been looking at different hospitals, we need to go to the one we found in Philadelphia" my dad spat to my mom.

"Move me or not, I will find a way to get this done." I spoke firmly.

"How do you think you'll do that?" My mom almost yelled as she stood.

"I'll get a lawyer and a court date-" "with what money-" "Luke will help me!" I yelled to her, seeing her smile.

"Pack your shit, we're leaving now, honey go get the discharge papers quickly"

I felt myself panic.

"Tracey" I spoke.

She stared to me.

I quickly started texting Luke
