Mike's P.O.V

The past week has been really strange, Vic hasn't been himself. I mean considering Aria passed away, he hasn't been anything really. He locked himself in his room and at first we assumed it was because of her but as time goes on I've noticed that Scarlett hasn't been around. In fact the last time I saw her was about 10 days ago when she came over to tell us that Aria was gone. A part of me wants to believe nothing is wrong but after the whole Ben thing, I don't wanna risk anything.

Alysha turned in her sleep to face me and my heart began to flutter. One day I am going to marry this girl. My phone buzzed from the nightstand and I reached over to get it, the bright light from my phone burned my eyes. 1 new message from Scarlett. I opened the text message and my eyes struggled to adjust to the light and the words went blurry. I blinked a few times to get rid of the fuzziness. My heart dropped when I read the text, finally.

Goodbye Mike.

The words made me begin to panic. "Alysha!" I said frantically, she didn't move which annoyed me. "Alysha!!" I louder and this time I nudged her. She shot up in panic.

"What, what, what?" She said quickly.

"Firstly calm down and secondly, I got this text from Scarlett, I don't know what to think of it." I told her. She rubbed her eyes then put out her hand for me to place my phone in it. She squinted her eyes at he phone and stared down at it.

"Mike this sounds like-" I cut her off.

"She's saying goodbye. Alysha she tried to kill herself before what's to say she won't do it again?" I frowned at her. She looked at me with tired eyes.

"We have to go see if she's okay." Alysha said bluntly and threw the covers off her body. I watched her quickly throw on a pair of jeans and one of my flannel shirts. I mirrored her actions and then quickly went to Vic's room. After Scarlett decided to move into her own house it inspired us to get a house together on the nicer side of town. I knocked on the door furiously but I got no answer so I barged in. To my disgust I found Vic in bed with some girl. I clamped my hand over my eyes and groaned.

"Mike what the fuck?!?" Vic shouted at me.

"You didn't answer so what did you expect!" I called back at him.

"What do you want?" Vic groaned at me.

"Scarlett sent me a strange text so we are going to see if she's okay, are you coming with us or..." I finally looked to see if the scene had ended. Vic had pulled the covers over them.

"Why would I? She's not in my life anymore." Vic shrugged as if it meant nothing to him.

"Okay, whatever." I shook my head and stormed out. I slammed the door so hard, asshole.

Alysha was standing outside my bedroom door with a sad look on her face and she grabbed my hand. "He's a jerk, I'm starting to think Scarlett is just too good for him." She wasn't all wrong, despite the fact that they were meant for each other.

We rushed out the house and into my car, I started the ignition and drove as fast as I could to Scarlett's apartment block. It was only a ten minute drive but it felt like a million years to me. If anything happened to her I would never forgive myself. We parked the car and ran to her building. The elevator opened and we rushed in pushing the button. Again the elevator took about an hour at least to get to the top. When the doors opened we ran for Scarlett's door and knocked on it. "Come on." I said impatiently.

"Just open it." Alysha nodded to the doorknob. I tried it but it was locked. "We can't just leave, break it down." Alysha said with panic in her voice and eyes, I stared down at her and nodded then quickly grabbed a kiss before pushing her back.

I took a step back and began to kick the door down. 3 hits was all it took, the door flew open. We both ran into the apartment but the whole place was in darkness. "Bedroom." I said and we both sprinted for the closed door that led to her room.

I opened the door and the first thing I noticed was the TV was on but it was just a fuzzy screen illuminating the room. I opened the door further and noticed the room was a mess, clothes and paper spilled out across the floor. Alysha gasped from beside me, I looked to where she pointed and noticed there was a bloody handprint on the wall. I swallowed down the lump in my throat and walked further into the room, and that's when I saw her crumpled up into a ball in the corner of the room. I glided over to her and kneeled down in front of her. "Scarlett!" Alysha called out from beside me.

Scarlett slowly lifted her head up and grinned at us, something about her was off. That's when I noticed the box of pills next to her. My instincts kicked in and I picked her up quickly, she began laughing hysterically and lay limp in my arms. I ran to the ensuite and placed her down in the bath, turning on the in the shower head above. The whole thing reminded me of the scene in American Horror Story where Tate tries to save Violet. The cold water made her laugh more, the blood from the walls began to run down the drain and that's when I noticed the slashes up and down her arms and legs. She was only in a tshirt and boxers, Vic's boxers actually. I cringed at myself for what I had to do next but needs musts. I stuck my fingers down her throat until she began to gag and the threw up everywhere. She bounced up and started screaming, so loudly I felt like my ears were going to cave in on themselves. "Scarlett, calm down please." I tried to soothe her but she was hysterical. I looked at Alysha for help but she just kneeled beside me in tears.

"Please don't cry." Alysha told her. Scarlett stopped and then stared at Alysha, she then raised her head above our eye level. I turned to look behind me and noticed Vic was standing there, a completely shocked and broken look on his face. The exact same look he gave me when he told me he found Scarlett the first time she tried to kill herself.

Scarlett's P.O.V

I stared at Vic and he stared back at me. There was no words that could be said, nothing could justify what I tried to do, a moment of weakness threw myself and my friends under the bus. "Can you guys leave me alone with Scarlett." Vic said quietly. Alysha and Mike both nodded and stood up, walking past him. He walked into the bathroom and closed the door over behind himself.

He said down next to the tub and the only thing that could be heard was the running of the cold water that was slowly soaking me. "I'm sorry." I mumbled softly. He shook his head as if he didn't wanna hear it.

"I wasn't here when they found you but I was there the last time Scarlett. I don't think you quite understand what that does to a person." He said bluntly. "You've no idea how it is to find the person you love the most in the universe slowly losing their life." He choked a little when he said the words.

"I didn't mean to-" I began but he cut me off.

"You didn't mean to hurt us? Yeah sure you didn't. But you have absolutely no idea what impact you have on our lives. You don't just get to decide when you leave, that's not fair." He said to me. I watch his eyes fill up with tears but he didn't let one fall.

He stood up and turned the shower head off, he then got a towel and then lifted me to my feet. He peeled the wet clothes from my body and then wrapped the towel around me. I climbed out of the tub and he pulled me into his arms. "I want you Vic, I don't want anyone else ever again." I cried into his chest, he just rubbed my back and hugged me.

"I know." He said softly, holding me so tight.

He looked down at my arms and frowned at the new red lines that laced around wrists and forearm. "I didn't mean this to get so bad." I choked on my tears.

He picked my arms up and inspected them. "It'll be okay." He said softly, I began crying again, much more hysterically than before. "Shhh. Darling, you'll be okay." He said to me. I looked up at him and even though my heart was breaking I smiled.

"You should use that in a song." I told him. He stared down at me and then began nodding.

"It's perfect actually." He began to smile at me. "Now come on, let's get you clean up and into some good clothes, you're coming back to ours tonight." Vic told me. And I was so happy to be.

Once I was dressed in better clothes I went over to Mike to apologise to him. "Hey kid, are you okay?" He asked me. I nodded and wrapped my arms around him.

"Thanks for somehow knowing I needed you." I whispered to him.

"It's okay, I'm always here for you." He said kissing my forehead. I looked at Alysha and she was smiling through tears. I felt awful. "Are you and him okay?" He asked.

"I think we are gonna be okay." I smiled sheepishly.

"Have you told him about Ben?" He whispered. I looked at him with fear in my eyes.

"I haven't no." I said quietly. He didn't say anything but I knew he wasn't happy with me not telling Vic, I really should be I'm scared.
