I click my phone off and walk over to my stash. I pop 4 Vicodin and 3 Xanax in my mouth and swallow them without water. I grab my rubber bands, syringe, and a needle and head into the bathroom.

Zach's POV
"I'm scared I'm gonna lose her." Justin looks at me with fear and sadness in his eyes.
"I think we should tell Monty."
"No why would we tell him?"
"Because he seems to care about her, and she listens to him."

Me
Hey we need to talk

Monty
What's up?

Me
Can you come over?

Monty
Sure see you soon

"Monty will be here soon."
"Good, maybe she will listen to him."
"Doubt it Olivia doesn't listen to anyone, she's stubborn that way."
"Zach!"
"What?"
"You ok? I said your name like 4 times."
"Yeah...I'm fine."
"If you say so, and Monty's here."
"Thanks! I'll go get the door." I let Monty in head straight back into the living room.
"Hey uh, Zach?"
"Yeah?"
"Jess just texted me and said Liv is ignoring her texts and she isn't answering Alex either." I run upstairs into Olivia's room and straight to her bathroom. I test the doorknob but it was locked just as I suspected. I hear footsteps entering the room behind me which means Justin and Monty are here too.
"Olivia? Olivia open the damn door." She mumbles something but it's too muffled to hear what she said. I grab the tootsie pop sucker on her dresser and use it to unlock the door. I rush to her side to make sure she's breathing ok. Justin comes in and puts her head in his lap while waiting for her to wake up.
"Someone wanna tell me what the fuck is going on?"
"Well as you can see Olivia is using! She's taking Vicodin and Xanax while also using heroin."
"Fuck!" I have never seen Monty get so mad about something. I mean yeah he gets into fights and especially hates Alex but this was different. He started pacing back and forth while fidgeting with his hands. He looked angry but he also looked scared.
"Monty talk to us."
"I can't, not until I know she's ok."
"She's gonna be ok man...but she's gonna need help."
"You don't know if she is going to be ok! And she has to want the help otherwise nothing will change!" The truth was that he was right, we didn't know if she would be ok. That's what scared me most, I don't know if she will be ok.
"Let's all calm down, right now she is doing fine. Zach, I think you need to tell your mom."
"Are you kidding? Our mom would die!"
"It's probably the only way she will get the help she needs." I can't believe Justin was suggesting we tell our mom, she wouldn't understand.
"What about the Jensens, do you think they would help us, Justin?"
"I will talk to them."
"Thanks." I look down at Olivia who is finally starting to wake up.

        Olivia's POV
I wake up with my head in Justin's lap while Zach is leaning against the doorway staring at me and Monty is pacing back and forth in my room. I make the mistake of sitting up too soon and immediately have to puke. Zach holds my hair back for me as I throw up.
"At least she made it to the toilet." I hear all the boys laugh a little.
     Once I was sobered up a little the boys "made me" hang downstairs in the living room with them. Monty was on the couch with his arm around me with my head on his shoulder. One minute I was watching a movie with them and the next I was in a deep sleep.
