"She's responsive. She's gonna be okay, right?" I asked the doctors once they pulled me from the letter I was writing Chloe.

"Maybe." They said at the same time.

"There is certainly more hope now, but we need to talk about whats gonna happen to Chloe," he shot a worried glance at the other doctor, "after she's woken up."

I nodded and sat down and waited for one of them to speak.

"Okay..." Dr.Martin started, "This was a suicide attempt Luke. You know that right?" He asked me looking more concerned and serious.

"Yeah..." I whispered. He nodded in response

"We know it was because she likes you and you didn't want her so we thi-"

I cut him off "I love her. I want her more than I want the ability to breathe. She just didn't know that."

He nodded slowly "As I was saying. For that reason we think it best you stay away from Chloe for a little while till she ca-"

Dr.Smith cut him off then "We think it best if you were out of Chloe's life. Forever."

I couldn't breathe. I felt my airways close up and I wasn't sure if I was only dreaming or if it was serious. I didn't respond. I didn't try to hold back my hot tears that streamed like acid down my cheeks. I just got up and ran to go home.

They were right. This was all my fault. I shouldn't be allowed to love Chloe. How could she love the person that caused her to want to die?!

I ran right into Sami who grabbed me and looked at me.

"Luke...why are you crying?"

I tried to pull away. I needed to leave. But she's strong for a little 5'5 girl.She was really good at making herself seem big. She dragged me to a chair and held me there.

"I'm not letting go till you tell me who's ass I gotta kick."

 I whimpered trying to fit the pieces together enough to tell her what had happened.

"Doctors. Chloe. My fault. Have to be out of her life." She shook her head at me and grabbed my chin and made me look at her.

"Chloe loves you and I know you love her. You're not going anywhere. What she did was her choice. You did not cause her to put that razor to her skin. She did that on her own. Do you understand? She did that. Not you. Now you stay here with Michael while I go give these 'Doctors' a piece of my mind."

She stalked off obviously seething.Michael sat down with me. I keep never noticing him showing up.

"Hey Luke." He smiled, rubbing my back

"Hey Michael." I whispered taking deep breaths to calm down.

"I feel like we haven't had a chance to talk much since all this started." He said smiling sadly

"I'm sorry...It's just you don't know Chloe as well as Samantha and I do. Sometimes it's just easier..."  I trailed off

He nodded. "It's cool I get it. Just don't forget, I'm your friend too." He smiled

I shook my head. "Shut up, you idiot. We've been friends since year 5 I could never forget you." I told him wrapping him in a big hug.

He rubbed my back and smiled. "Thanks Luke".
