Song of the Chapter: End of All Things by Panic! At the Disco

Anna's POV

"Who are you?"

We walked into James' room except this time it wasn't only him. There were two adults in there with him.

"Hello." Mum says politely. "How are you?"
"Who the hell are you? Do you know James?"
"Hi. I'm Anna, his girlfriend." I say.
"Girlfriend? He never mentioned anything about you."
"Who are you?" I say politely.
"His parents. Who are all these people?"
"This is my Mum and dad and a family friend." The father hadn't said anything yet and the mother was pretty rude. So, so far I didn't like his parents.
"Get out." The father said.
"I'm sorry?" dad says.
"Get your daughter out of here."
"Why? She hasn't done anything."
"She caused this. She made my son end up here."
"What the fuck? Man I don't know who you think you are but you can't say that."
"I'm his father so what I say goes."
I wanted to cry. I already blamed myself but now his parents were blaming me. Gerard places a hand on my shoulder and speaks up.

"I'm sorry but do not blame Anna for what happened. Just to let you know, Anna was the one that saved him. She thought something was wrong so she made me drive her to your house and found him. Where were you? It was midnight and you weren't home."
"We were out of town. James was fine at home."
The father turns to dad and growls.
"Your suicidal bitch of a daughter caused this. If James didn't know her, he would be fine. Get. Her. Out."
I was now crying and also about to have a panic attack.
"We should be the ones crying not you. Get out." The mother rolls her eyes at me. I could see dad getting furious but Mum but her hand on his arm to calm him down. Gerard takes me out of the room.

He hugs me while I cry.
"It's my fault. It's my fault. It's my fault." I repeat over again.
"No it's not. Don't listen to them. It's not your fault. You saved him. You got James to the hospital in time. He's going to be ok."
He rocks me back and forth while I cry.

"Well they aren't the best parents." Mum says once I had finished crying.
"You don't say." I mumble.

From me: hey guys. I'm just messaging to let you know James is in hospital, he's overdosed.
From Peter: what the fuck! What room?
From Abigail: shit. I'm coming I'll be there soon
From Layla: is he ok?!
From me: intensive care. But his parents are here. Have you met them before? They don't know if he'll be ok yet
From Peter: met them a few times
From Layla: never. They were always away.
From me: well I don't know if it's because they're stressed, hate me or that's what they're normally like but they just yelled at me saying it was my fault and kicked us out.
From Abigail: are you ok?
From me: Yeah.

"Don't lie." I turn around to see Abigail.
"I'm scared Abs. It's my fault." She hugs me.
"No it's not. Don't blame yourself don't listen to them."
"You were quick."
"Of course anything for my best friend and her boyfriend."
"Thank you."

"Anna? Abi?"
We turn around to see Peter.
"Hey."
"What's happening?"
"I don't know, I can't go in there because of his parents."
"Fuck his parents."
"Umm? Why?"
"I may of went to his house before coming here and found a note. Addressed to you."
"Shit." I mutter. "Can I read it?"
"A, is that a good idea?" Dad says.
"I need to know why he did it, dad."
He sighs and nods as Peter hands over a small piece of paper.

Dear Anna.
