Alex's POV:

I am unconscious but I can still hear what they are saying. I think I am in a coma. I hear Demi and Maddy come back in.

I am so depressed. I just wanted to die. Why could I not get one thing right? I try to open my eyes but they won't work.

I hear Fifth Harmony come in. Camilla seems the most upset though, which I take as encouraging, because I have had a crush on her forever.

Yes, I'm bisexual. Start preaching to me and telling me how disgusting it is. After Will I am actually considering becoming a full on lesbian because all men are egotistical jerks.

Anyways, Camilla comes and sits right next to me on the bed and holds my hand. At least I assume it's Camilla. My suspicions are confirmed when she asks for a minute alone with me, and everyone else but the person on the bed.

"Hi Alex. The nurse said that while you're in a coma you can hear what's going on. I want you to wake up for me. I love you. Yes that's right. I'm a lesbian. And I miss your smile and your beautiful brown eyes. Please wake up. I would die if you didn't. Please. I love you." Camilla says.

I struggle to open my eyes for Camilla. I'm so touched by what she said. She's the only one who cares about me enough to say that, because no one had ever said anything like that before.

My eyes slowly open. "Alex!" You're waking up!" Camilla squeals, giving me a hug.

"Hi!" I say shakily.

Camilla says, "Are you alright?"

"Well of course I'm alright. I just committed fucking suicide!" I say sarcastically.

"I'm sorry." Camilla says.

"No, I'm sorry. I'm just pissed off at so many people right now, not including you. So how long was I out?" I ask.

"Three days." Camilla says.

"Did anyone come to visit me?" I ask.

"Well, Fifth Harmony, your family, and..." She looks down at her phone. "Selena just got here."

"Selena Gomez? I haven't seen her in forever!!" I scream excitedly.

The door to my room opens and Demi comes in. "I thought I heard your beautiful voice! I missed you!" Demi says to me.

I roll my eyes and coldly say, "Demetria." Camilla glances at us awkwardly and says, "I need to go."

"Don't call me Demetria." Demi says, her eyes glinting dangerously.

"Why can't I? It's pretty much your fault for making me almost be dead." I scream at her.

"You're just asking for it today, aren't you?"

"I heard Selena was here. Can I see her?"

Demi sighs. She opens the door and yells, "Selena! The invalid has awoken and desires your presence!" Demi giggles, which gradually becomes her loud, famous laugh.

"Coming, milady." Selena calls back, laughing just as loudly

Selena runs into the room. "Selly!" I squeal, getting up out of my hospital bed and running to her. I give her a big hug. "I haven't seen you in forever!" Demi goes out and closes the door.

"So, how's life, kiddo?" Selena says.

"It's all good." I say. We go and cuddle on the bed.

"If you don't mind me asking, why did you commit s-s-suicide?"

"Because Demetria was being a bitch. She beat me up! And I, um, might possibly get bullied at school?"

"Alex! Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"I don't know. Everyone was to busy for me when they started. Demi was on tour, and when I tried to call her, she said she was too busy to talk. No one in my family ever cared about me. They all ignored me, and when I said I wanted to be a singer, my mom just said I'd steal Demetria's spotlight."

Selena hugs me tighter. "Alex, is there anything else you would like to tell me?"

I sigh. She is the best person to tell this. I carefully up my right sleeve. My cuts and scars are exposed, but I don't care. She can help me.

When I look at her face, she is crying. "Alex. Why didn't you ever tell Demi?"

"She never was there for me, so why tell her about something I've been dealing with?"

"I'm going to go get Demi. Alex stay right there."

Selena goes out of the room. I pull my sleeve down. She comes back in with Demi a minute later. I tug on my sleeves nervously.

"Demi, Alex has something to tell you." Selena says.

I sigh and pull my sleeve back up. Demi gasps at all the fresh and old red lines covering my arm.

I look down, ashamedly. "I'm sorry." I say.

"Don't be sorry Alex. If anyone should be sorry, it's me. I probably caused this." Demi says.

Demi and Selena hug me. "If you ever feel the urges to self harm, call Demi or I and we will help you. Don't you worry." Selena says.

"Yeah, well be your support system." Demi says.

We just sit there, enjoying the silence. Eventually, I go to sleep.
