The sound of sirens filled the air as paramedics rushed to the scene of a young boy laying on the ground, his wrists slit and his breathing weak. He wasn't holding on to life, the man pressing towels on the dying boy pleasing him to keep his eyes open...the captivating silver eyes had closed long ago....presumably never wanting to open again...

----------------------------------------------

It had been three years since Black had fallen into his coma, his eyes remaining closed as his body healed...but his mind not wanting to come back to reality. What was there to live for anyways? Life had always offered one thing: pain. Nothing but pain. His 'happy' memories were filled with his hidden pain...no one noticed the twenty-one year old stop smiling...no one noticed him walking in broad daylight with cuts up his arms...no one noticed the empty pill bottle on his front steps and the trail of blood leading to the alley where he was found. Not a soul...except for five. Five complete strangers who had found out about the boy who had once been happy with life..,when he was too young to remember how good it was...

Andy had sat and listened to Black mother while Ashley had broken down halfway through and went to the bus. Jinxx had gone to the hospital alone, sitting beside the comatose patient and doing something no one had ever done: he held his hand lovingly...getting no response yet. The guitarist pulled his hand away and started to gently wash what parts of the younger's face he could without inferring with his life support. It saddened him to hear he was only eighteen when he tried to end his life, seeing how many scars he had up his arms...it wasn't pretty to see or think about really...someone taking an entire bottle of prescription painkillers then going to finish the job by cutting their wrists...it was heartbreaking. Eventually, Andy came into the room looking extremely sad, telling Jinxx about how Black had lived with a verbally abusive father, bullying and severe depression...it all added up to this...then when Andy took the boy's hand his heart skipped a couple beats.

His eyes opened as he squeezed back.

Jinxx immediately went and got a nurse, the severely confused male being put on the oxygen mask and told about where he was and that this wasn't heaven or hell: he was alive. After that, he said something that made anyone who heard it go into shock.

"just kill me...I'm worthless anyways..."
