*TRIGGER MOMENTS ABOUT SUICIDE, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK*

*MYLES*

*11 MONTHS AGO*

I opened my eyes as I had a breathing mask on. The fresh air gently came through the mask as I took in the crisp air. My eyes felt like rocks as I saw everything hazy. I heard the heart monitor as someone squeezed my hand when suddenly I felt my wrist burn. I slowly looked down and saw gauze covered around both my wrist.

I felt a sudden pain in my heart. The memories of Nathan came flashing in my head and I lost it. "Get me out of here!" I yelled as I sat up recklessly. "Where is Nathan?! I need to see him! He can't breathe!"

Chance held me by my shoulders but I pushed him away. I took off my mask as I attempted to get off the bed.

"Myles, honey calmed down," my mom walked in with my dad but I saw my dad bolt out, probably to get someone. I notice my gauze was getting a crimson red as I gave up.

"Why didn't you let me die!" I glared at Chance.

I remembered I got up from the bed. Chance was heavily asleep, he's stayed by my side for a month and hardly got any sleep. His body finally gave up last night. I had moved him vigorously but he didn't wake up. I had already planned to take my own life so I went into the bathroom and grabbed the knife I had tapped underneath the sink.

I was buried into darkness that nobody could get me out of. Mrs. Brown tried to talk to me but I never talked. I only gave her what she wanted to hear but other than that I wanted to die. I wanted to be with Nathan, my best friend, my brother who I miss dearly.

I didn't even think about it. I grabbed the knife and slit both of my wrists across. I saw my blood was burgundy almost black. I didn't feel pain. I felt satisfaction but why wasn't I dying. The door opened as Chance's eyes widen. He grabbed the knife and threw it in the sink. I felt myself going weak as I smiled at him. I almost fell but Chance grabbed me.  "Myles, stay with me! Myles you better fucken stay with me," he started to cry as he grabbed a towel that was hanging and wrapped it around one wrist. "Help me!" He yelled.

Moments later my dad ran in. "No, no, no," he sat next to me as he grabbed another towel and wrapped it on my other wrist. I saw him quickly dial. "I need an ambulance quickly, my son...." his voice was almost an echo as I heard my mom scream. I slowly closed my eyes as everything went black.

Now I'm here, alive. I wanted to be with my brother. I couldn't continue to love with this dark abyss that consumed me. I wanted my brother back and the only way was to join him.

A nurse came running as I cried and cried. I felt a prick on my shoulder and suddenly my body relaxed. "Myles, baby, get some rest," is all I heard my mom say. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

The next couple of days I was alone in a pearly white room, all I had was a warm blanket and my white hospital outfit. I was left alone and that's all I wanted. The only person that came to see me was Mrs. Brown. I looked outside the windows as they were barred from the outside. It was sunny as I saw a squirrel climb up a tree. The sunlight came into my room but my dark aura was too powerful to feel the warmth of the sun.

I talked to my parents over the phone and of course Chance. He said he missed me and I did too but he didn't let me die. I was still upset at him for that but I know that's not what he wanted.
