*Time Skip*

I felt my eyes open against my will, I was blinded by a large ray of light from the window. I opened my eyes completely and was hit by a throbbing headache. I rolled over to kiss Lilah goodmorning, only to find an empty space where she usually lays. It took me a minute to recall the recent events of the night. I wish I hadn't. Images of Lilah's dead body filled my head, her in the hospital. The hospital! I looked over at the clock on the wall it was 11, I could go visit. I stood up and immediately sprinted to the small bathroom. I made it to the toilet just in time to puke up my guts. Being the person I am I forgot to eat dinner do it was only bile, it stung my throat as it cameup, burning my nostrils. I shakily flushed the toilet and stood up noticing the red stained tub. My eyes stung with painful tears as I turned the water on watching as red water swirled down the drain. When the tub was back to being white I stripped ans climbed in. The water burned my skin but it felt very calming. I washed me hair and body before turning the water off. I slowly exited the shower and went over to our shared closet. I threw on black boxers and a black sports bra, deciding on a pair of ripped, black skinny jeans and a grey shirt. I reacted before I could comprehend what I was doing, I grabbed one of Lilah's pastel hoodies. I look to the left and stare at my pitiful reflection; my eyes have large bags, red eyes, splotches on my tan skin from crying, my posture was bent in half, but none the less it was me. I sighed and cuddled myself in Lilah's hoodie, wrapping my arms around myself. I ran down the stairs and threw the door open with my phone in my pocket. My head throbbed with each step but I didn't care. I opened the truck door and choked on air at what was on my dashboard. A note, advil, and orange juice. I got in the car and opened it.

It read:

"I'm sure you're hungover and are heading to the hospital so I figured you wouldn't take the time to take care of yourself. Please take the pills and drink the orange juice, tell Lilah I hope she gets better

Jim :)

I smiled to myself and drank the orange juice along with the pills feeling a little bit better. I smash the keys into the ignition and head to the hospital.

When I parked my car, the building seemed to loom over me casting me into its dark shadow. I gulped and stepped out of the car carefully as if the gravel would fall from beneath my feet at any moment. Taking a deep breath I headed into the dungeon ahead of me.
