Seth
I walk around the block a few times and try to comprehend what just happened. I thought she quit, I guess she just better at hiding she was using. My phone buzzes repeatedly in my pocket, I pull out my phone and see it's Roman calling me.
"Roman?"
"Seth where are you, we are all freezing out here."
"What?"
"Did you forget that we were coming round."
"It did slip my mind yeah, isn't Becky letting you guys in."
"I don't think she's here mate, I've been knocking the door and getting no answer."
I felt my heart drop in my chest, I hang up the phone and run as fast as I can home. I reach my road and see everyone standing outside, I run up to the door and open it.
"Becky!"
I get no response, the house feels eerily quiet.
"Becky!"
"Mate she's probably forgot just like you that we were coming round."
I walked up the stairs and checked her room, then I checked mine and both were empty. I saw a light coming from under the bathroom door so I made my way over, I knocked the door but it wasn't shut so it pushed open. I almost didn't believe my eyes, I took me a moment before I realised what was going on. I look down at her arm and see she still has a needle in her arm, she's got sick on her jumper and blood trailing down her forehead. I pull the needle out of her arm and shake her slightly, I get no response.
"ROMAN! CALL 911!"
I heard them all run up the stairs and into the bathroom, they all freeze in there tracks just like I did. Roman pulls out his phone and dials 911.
"Seth lay her on her side, I'll check her pulse."
I move Becky to lay on her side and my tears start to pour down my face as I can't hear her breathing.
"Come on hold on Becky..."
I felt Dean pull me up from the floor into his arms, I cried into his shirt. I've known Dean and Roman ever since nursery and I can see pain on both of their faces right now for a girl we just met a few months back.
"How long until the ambulance get here?"
Charlotte had a hint of urgency in her voice as she asked Roman, she was still trying to find Becky's pulse.
"Five minutes."
"Tell them to hurry, I can't find a pulse."
I felt Dean rub my back with his free hand, he's trying to be reassuring but he's never been that kind a guy.
"Come on Becky."
I look down at her and see her lips are starting to turn a deep shade of blue.
"Charlotte do something!"
"I'm trying my best here Seth."
Suddenly we heard sirens, Sasha ran downstairs to let them in. The paramedics rushed into the house and Charlotte stepped back and practically collapsed into Romans embrace.
"Does anyone know if she's taken anything?"
"There's a needle by there."
Another paramedic spoke up picking up two empty syringes.
"Can you all clear the room please..."

3 hours later...

I sit in the waiting room dragging my hand nervously through my hair, I feel so sick. Nobody has told me whether she is okay or not, I start to nervously bite my lip until it's starts to bleed. Suddenly I feel someone place their hand on my shoulder.
"You came in earlier with Rebecca Quin?"
"Uh Yes I did."
"Would you like to follow me?"
I nodded and we began to walk, the halls of the hospital seemed to be never ending we finally reached the family room, the lady opens the door for me and I walk in. I must look awful because she has a heavily pitiful look on her face.
"Is she okay?"
"Has nobody told you anything?"
I shook my head and used my hand to wipe away some of my tears.
"She's alive and very lucky to be, she injected a three times the lethal amount of heroine into herself. She was trying to kill herself..."
She paused after she spoke and I just broke back into tears, she stood up from behind the desk and sat next to me on the bench. She pulled me onto her shoulder and moved some of the hair out of my face.
"Ah darling."
She just let me cry.
"Is there anyone you want me to call."
I shook my head.
"But could you take me to Becky..."
"Of course, please follow me."
We walked down the halls until we reached the mental health unit.
"She's in the first room in the left."
I walked in and saw Becky, hooked up to machines. She had a big tube coming out of her arm and some smaller ones going into her other arm. Her machine beep startled me but I found it soothing knowing that the beep meant she was still alive. I carefully placed my head on the bed but not so I was touching any wires and I let myself fall asleep.
