"Promise!" Theo whisper yelled through the phone. "Promise, help me!"

It was 2 in the morning. School was in a couple hours and Theo was calling me, asking for help.

"Theo?! What is it?" I panicked not knowing what was happening.

"Help me, please help me!" She was urgent.

"I'm coming to you okay? I'll be there soon." I told her, flying out of my room.

"Please help me."

"I will." Then I hung up the phone. I ran to my parents room, frantically searching for the car keys.

"Promise?" My dad said. "What are you doing?"

"Theo needs my help, dad." I said wide eyed. "I'll be back in a little bit." He laid back down and fell asleep.

Once I found the keys, I sprinted to the car. I couldn't waist any time. Opening the car door and turning on the ignition, my hands shook. I had no idea what to expect. All I knew was Theo needed my help.

When I reached her house, I went around to the back gate letting myself in through the back door. I creeped into the house, trying not to wake anyone. I opened Theo's bedroom door and quickly put quietly shut it.

Then I saw her in the bathroom. She was unconscious in a pool of blood, pills, and razors. The tub water was running.

"Theo?!" I ran to her. "Theo!" I sat next to the body, and put my fingers on her neck trying to find her blood pulse. It was there. A very very slow beat. "Theo?! Wake up Theo!" I yelled at her.

My fingers were shaking uncontrollably as I dialed 911.

"Hello, this is 911, what is your emergency?" A lady asked very calmly.

"She's dying!! Please send an ambulance!" I yelled into the phone looking at the broken girl.

"What's your name?"

"Promise Clark, hurry!"

"Promise, where are you?"

"2467 Airline Drive."

"The paramedics are on their way. Miss. Clark, stay calm, help is coming."

"Please hurry! She's dying!" I said crying into the phone.

"Every thing will be okay." The woman on the other end remained calm, and never hung up. I looked at Theo with tears falling down my face. I was too late.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

Two men came storming into the bathroom and took me by surprise. They started hooking Theo to equipment, one of them made a slow beeping noise, the other checked her blood pressure.

"What's going on?" Theo's father came running into the room. "Why are you people here?!"

"Mr. Slade." I went to him. "Theo tried to kill herself, but she called me and I came over and found her."

"Miss. Clark?" A man wearing the paramedic uniform came up to me. I nodded and he continued. "We need you to come with us on the ambulance. She called you right?"

"Yes sir."

"Okay, come with us?" I nodded again. They put Theo on a stretcher and quickly ran her to the ambulance. The man who told me to come with them followed me as I climbed into the vehicle with Theo. I took her right hand as people started calling out things to each other.
