Beth POV

As soon as Sofia got the call, she quickly rushed out side only saying the word 'hospital'.

So of course, i followed her, worried about the green face she had and the tremble in her hands. This girl wasn't well enough to drive

There was traffic so i got there a little late, but when i did arrive, everyone was arguing.

Mrs. Black was pacing around the room, shouting at her husband.

Sofia was sitting down, leaning her head against the wall with a defeated look on her face.

"Are you crazy! How could you say that?!" Catherine shouted.

"We have 2 daughters Catherine! Two! And both of them have feelings so how about you stop being such a damn bitch and think about both of them?!" Mr. Black shouted back.

"Oh do we now? Do we really?" She challenged.

"Catherine.." He warned.

"And Why should i anyway?! Tell me Sofia, is there also something wrong with you? Will you wake up one day and try to-"

"Don't you dare!" Sofia said, standing up. "Maybe you would've noticed what was going through her mind if you just pulled your head out of you a-"

"Okay, everybody calm the f*ck down!" I shouted.

"Now... Who died?" I asked as they all looked at me with an annoyed expression.

"This isn't the right time Beth." Sofia whispered, rubbing her forehead.

"Just leave Beth. Im sure there is a food place around here." Mrs Black said.

I shrugged and turned around, ready to leave.

"Alright." I mumbled under my breath.

I was about to leave when i saw a cute doctor coming out way.

"On second thought-" I walked back and followed him.

"Family of Selena Black?" The doctor said.

Mrs. Black quickly sat up straight and listened.

"Selena is fine. She did overdose on benzodiazepine. Thankfully, this wasn't as toxic as other sleeping pills. We had to pump her stomach but she is better now. She'll wake up in a few hours, but for now she's resting." He explained. "Make sure to keep her away from anything else from now on. Had it been anything else, we would've been in a different scenario right now."

Hold up.

Overdosed? What the fuck is going on.

Mr and Mrs Black sighed in relief. However, Sofia still has a troubled look on her face.

She excused herself and made her way out.

I could see she wanted to be alone, so i let her leave and made my way to the doctor, asking for his phone number.

Sofia POV

Why would Selena want to kill herself? She always seemed to be perfect. She was always smiling. My mother loved her and treated her like her actual daughter. My dad did too. She had so many people at school obsessed with her. She had perfect grades, all the teachers loved her and soon enough, she'll be going to Yale. If she still wants to, of course. To sum it all up, she has a perfect life. But I guess thats the point of it all, you never know what goes on behind closed walls.

But why would she want to end it? Was it really that bad? How did i never noticed, my room was literally infront of her. We shared a fucking bathroom, how was i so blind?

I sighed and sat down on a bench in front of the hospital. I want to ask her but i don't think she trusts me enough to tell me anything.

There was a time when she did. But something happened that made her hate me. I couldn't find it in myself to care about how she would argue with me anymore, knowing what she was going through was bad enough to make her do this. So I made up my mind and sneaked into her room.

I don't care if she doesn't want to tell me. Either way, I'll get it out of her.

As soon as i stepped in her hospital room, my eyes started watering. My lips were bitten raw from all the waiting and worrying i did earlier waiting for her results but the sting didn't seem to bother me and i bit on them again, trying not to cry. The vomit was crawling its way up again as i took in the look of her exhausted face, pale and lifeless. Her lips were so dry, she didn't even look alive. I sat down on one of the chairs next to her and waited till she woke up.

Surprisingly, that wasn't long, because after what felt like a few minutes she woke up.

"Hi..." I greeted awkwardly.

She cursed under her breath ad tried to sit up straight.

"Dont, just stay comfortable." I told her. She laid back down and i started again. "Um, you see I-" I was going to ask her when she interrupted me.

"You want to know why i did it, don't you?" She asked me, looking at the wall in front of her.

I hesitated before nodding my head.

"I know you don't trust me with telling me these thing anymore but i need to know why." I pleaded, taking her hand. "I feel so terrible Selena, i dont know what i did to make you not trust me anymore but if i had any idea you were going through all this, i- i dont know i wouldve-"

"Dont, Sofia." She stopped me. "There's nothing you could've done. I would've tried to do it either way."

She hummed and nodded her head. "But I'll tell you."

"It was at a party i went to in junior year." She started.

"I sneaked out of our house and left with my ex boyfriend, Matt if you remember him." I nodded. I always hated him.

"I was still a virgin back then. Matt kept telling me to 'stop being such a prude' and just lose it already. Everyone else in our friend group had. But i kept telling him no because I wasn't ready yet. And normally, he would just let me be. But that night, he had more than a couple drinks." Her voice cracked. I immediately paled.

"And he kept drinking more, and more. So i went up to him and told him that we should leave. He told me that a few more minutes and then i could go back to my 'snobby family'. I didn't want to seem boring so i just said that it's okay and we could stay longer. You need to understand that he was my first boyfriend and i wanted him to think i was a 'fun girlfriend' i guess. So i just went upstairs and waited until the party would be over."

I frowned and waited for her to continue, knowing the next bit would be bad. I squeezed her hand.

"But then, he came. And fo-forced him self on me. I tried to kick him and slap him, but he just .. Kept going." Tears were unstoppable at this point.

She kept tried to wipe them away, but it wouldn't do anything.

"The next morning, i woke up and scrubbed my self clean until my skin was red. But even then, i still felt dirty. I wouldn't talk to anyone and wouldn't come out of my room. But then, weeks later, i started feeling sick. So, i went to the hospital, thinking he had given me some kind of.. std or something. Th-they told me something more scary though. He left me pregnant."

I accidentally let out a gasp at that, covering my mouth with my other hand, as i started to cry along with her.

"I didn't know what to do. If told mom that i was pregnant at that age, then she would disown me and make me get rid of the baby. And for some reason, I didn't want that. I wanted to keep it. It wasn't the baby's fault. It was the only thing that made me feel sane, because i knew that i had to be there for another human being that, at that time, was growing inside me and needed my help."

"What happened then?" I asked her. There was no baby, so much time had passed.. i could get the next words before they even left her mouth.

"Jasmine found out. She would help me.. Cover up the baby bump and take me to doctor appointments and whatnot. She was.. more than i could ever ask for." She slightly smiled at the thought of her best friend.

"But then, Matt's best friend saw me. He followed me to the doctors and found out that i was pregnant. So the next day, him and some other dudes cornered me and beat me until i lost the baby." She choked back on a sob and continued with the story.

"It was when, i had just learned to love him or her that those bastards took it away from me. I was devastated. I felt like nothing in my life was good anymore. I was depressed. But after many therapy sessions i was finally able to deal with it. It wasn't until a few days ago when i saw Matt again and.. this happened." She finished the story as she sniffed and wiped away the remaining tears.

I just stood there, frozen.

I didn't think I could be an even worse sister until i heard that.

I didn't even care enough to be there for her.

My mother was right.

If i was there, i could've stopped it. Instead of insisting and asking my sister why she shut herself off to me, i let her drift away thinking i was the victim.

I gave Selena the tighest hug, crying in her hair but she didn't mind. She just hugged me back.

"Im so sorry Selena i had no idea." I cried.

"Its okay, I didn't tell anyone. Please dont feel bad." She replied.

I was so mean, judging her and not liking her for ignoring me sometimes. When this is what she went through. I was horrible.

I kissed the top of her head and mumbled apologies and we stood there like that, hugging until my mother came and i had to leave.

I was wiping away my tears walking down the hallway when I collided with a body, sending me stumbling back when arms steadied me.

I looked up to see Justin, a concerned look adoring his face. I frowned at him.

What was he doing here?

"What are you-"

"Your mother called my mother and told her about Selena and so i followed her and came too. Are you okay?" He asked me, concerned.

I just stared at his handsome face.

Why would he care?

I nodded my head and side stepped him. I couldn't bear to talk to anyone right now.

I thanked him for coming and explained that i had to go before i left the hospital.

Elena POV

I sighed ordered another glass of whiskey.

How the hell am i going to tell anyone if i keep backing down every time?

"Are you feelin' okay?" The bartender asked me.

"Yeah. Just have some stuff to deal with." I said, looking up at her. She was pretty. She had red hair and huge green eyes. Freckles were scattered across her button nose and made her look adorable.

She chuckled and leaned on the counter.

"Let me guess, boy problems?" The beautiful redhead asked, a polite smile on her face.

"Actually, I don't have a boyfriend." I laughed awkwardly.

"Girlfriend?" She asked in a weird tone.

"No. What the fuck?" I immediately denied. "Why would you ask that, do i look gay to you?" I fired at her, growing uncomfortable.

"No, but i-"

"What's wrong with being gay anyway?" I questioned loudly. "It's the 21st century. Grow up."

She chuckled and shook her head.

"I agree. Honestly. Actually, my ex girlfriend is a few seats away, staring at you." She said as she discreetly pointed behind me.

I turned around and realized that there was a girl that was in fact, staring at us.

I chuckled awkwardly and looked back at the bartender.

"Sorry, it's just-"

"It's okay. I get it." She smiled.

"Im Sarah." She said as she put her hand out for me to shake.

I smiled and shook it.

"Elena." I introduced myself.

"Well, Elena, i have a break in about 5 minutes so how about you wait for me here and we can talk. Maybe i can help. You know, deal with those stuff?" She suggested.

I smiled and nodded my head.

"I'd like that."
