Ben's P.O.V
My parents finally arrive from to the hospital and the doctor explains what happen to them. My mom immediately starts crying and my dad tries to comfort her.
We all still need to wait in the waiting room till we can see her, but she isn't doing well. There's a TV playing Toy Story for little kids to watch. That was Kayla's favorite movie as a kid, she memorized almost every word to it and made us watch it at least twice a week. I stand up and walk over to television and turn it off. I can't watch it right now, especially when my sister is almost dead.
I walk back to my seat and Ryan looks at me, he knows why I turned it off. "We should call Christian too," I said. Ryan sighs. I give him my phone, I have Christians number from Christmas morning when we snuck him into the house. "Christian...no this is Ryan....can you come to the hospital?....it's Kayla...I'll explain when you get here," he hangs up. "He'll be here in 5 minutes,"
We sit in silence until a panicked Christian comes storming into the ER. "Tell me what happened," he demands. "Ryan, you should explain," I say weakly. "Okay. There's really no easy way to say this so I am just ganna say it. Ben found Kayla in the bathtub, downing herself. She overdosed on medicine and then fell into the water. They're trying to save her though,"
His facial emotion changed immediately as tears poured from his eyes. He sits down in the chair and buries his head into his palms and cries even more, so much he starts shaking. "When can we see her?" He says in a scratchy voice. "As soon as they let us,"
We all sit and wait.
Kayla will never graduate high school. She will never go to college get a real job of her dream. She will never get married. She will never be able to drink legally, go to a club, all do those things that normal teenager always want to do. But maybe Kayla is different. Maybe this is what she wanted. To be dead.

Kayla's P.O.V
It's dark. The pitch black has surrounded me for years it seems. I don't know where I am, what time it is, or what's going on. I am scarred. I don't know if I am dead or not. I shut my eyes tight and open the and my family is standing around me. "Kayla! What were you thinking? Do you know how much trouble your causing?" My mom yells at me. "Yeah, why would you do this to all to us, Kayla?" Ben asks. They all starts yelling at me and second by second I get more and more overwhelmed. I can't. I scream on top of my lungs and close my eyes. When I open them my family is gone. But in front of me stands Christian. But not just Christian, an other girl too. I don't know her but she is way prettier than me. They are kissing, the way Christian kissed me before I left his house. Anger builds inside of me. "Christian," I try to say but nothing comes out. "Stop," I try but still nothing happens.
No. No. No. This can't be happening. I shut my eyes tight again and when I open them I see Amanda. "I bet you thought you would get more attention," she smirks. "this only goes to show how weak you are, Kayla, you are given a piece of paper saying 'kill yourself' and you actually listen to it, you should have fought, but you choose the easy way out just because you're a coward, afraid to face your own problems," she whispers straight into my ear. "But is this the kind of attention you really want, for everyone at school to feel bad for you because your the suicidal psychopath?"
What does she mean "in school" I thought I was dead.
Just then she disappears. Finally, the bright light I have been waiting for shines in front of my eyes. This is it, it's all over now. I can forget everything.
The bright light settles down and my eyes adjust. Everything is white all around me until my see red, then orange, yellow and then the whole rainbow of colors. There's a lady next to me dressed in all white. She says something and smiles excitedly, I can't hear her. I crinkle my forehead in confused. Is this where I want to be?
The lady looks like...a nurse
"Kayla, you aren't dead, you woke up, you're alive!"
