Happy Little Pill

The overbearing amount of windows at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center was daunting and made me nervous. I walked into the building and went straight to the reception desk in the emergency room. The woman sitting there looked friendly and was on the computer. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" She asked.

"Um, I wanted to know the status of a friend of mine who was just brought in," I said and she nodded.

"What is their name?" She asked and I swallowed.

"Andrew Biersack," I said. She typed in his name and then looked at the screen. She nodded and then looked at me.

"He is in an intensive care unit room, are you family or just a friend?" She asked.

"I'm his girlfriend," I said and she nodded before grabbing a sticker and writing the room number and some sort of initial.

"Name please,"

"Sadee Christian, it's spelled like S.A.D.E.E," I said and she nodded while writing. Once she was finished writing she handed me the pass and smiled.

"You're going to have to talk to the attendant there, but she will take you to his room," she smiled again and I nodded before half sprinting down the hall. I went through a bunch of turns and different hallways before finally getting to the ICU. There was a man sitting at the desk in front of the door. He looked up and I smiled.

"Um I was told to talk to you," I said.

"Who are you here to see?" He asked.

"Andrew Biersack," I said. He looked over a list on a clipboard and nodded before standing with a key. We walked through the doors and down a hallway. When we got to the door I saw that Ashley and one other person were in there.

"Here you are," he said.

"Thank you," I said and then walked into the room. Ashley looked up and I swallowed. Andy was unconscious on the bed and I felt the tears begin to build.

"What happened?" Ashley asked me quietly once I got over by him.

"Andy insisted on coming with when I went to talk to Colton this morning. Colton was drunk and beat the crap out of him, I don't even know why," I said and Ashley put his arm around me.

"Well his doctor said that he is lucky because the worst thing he got was a severe concussion. He has a lot of cuts and stuff but he should be fine," Ashley told me and I nodded.

"Has he woken up yet?" I asked.

"No not yet, but they gave him a sedative that will last for a while so he can sleep while his brain recovers. Colton was arrested right?" Ashley asked. It was funny, Ashley didn't even know who Colton was but he was talking like he did.

"Yeah, I don't know what for, besides domestic abuse," I said.

"Domestic abuse?"

"Colton is my now ex-boyfriend," I said and Ashley nodded. I never meant for Andy to get hurt. but Colton just wouldn't give way. I was scared out of my mind.

"Are you okay?" I heard Ashley ask. I looked at him and nodded.

"Are you sure? You're crying," he said and wiped a tear off my cheek.

"I'm fine. I just want Andy to be okay," I said and Ashley nodded.



The annoying beeping of the heart monitor woke me from sleep and I looked around. It was now dark and I had been sleeping on Ashley's shoulder. I sat up and yawned. A nurse was checking Andy and I looked at Ashley, he was sound asleep and the other person was gone. I looked back at Andy and saw he wasn't sleeping but he wasn't really awake, more of that groggy state between sleep and consciousness. The nurse checked a bandage quickly before leaving. When she was gone, I got up from my spot and went to the side of Andy's bed. He immediately looked at me.

"Hey," I said and he swallowed.

"Hi," he said quietly and I sighed.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't think he would ever hit anyone," I said.

"It's okay, did he hit you?" Andy asked and then I realized he was looking at the cut on my head.

"Um, kinda, but I'm fine, I just have a mild concussion and this stupid little cut, it's fine. You on the otherhand look like complete crap," I smiled and he closed his eyes but smiled nonetheless.

"You know, if you have nowhere else to go, you can stay at my place, I do have like three guest bedrooms," he said. I looked at him and then down at my hands.

"Andy, I couldn't do that, I-"

"Too bad, you are going to, we will be roommates," he said. He wasn't giving me an option.

"Fine, but you will realize how mean I am," I said.

"I can handle it," he smirked, "what was that one song you were singing yesterday?"

"Which one?"

"The one about a falling star," he answered and I looked down.

"Oh, that one. It's a song I wrote when I was younger, when my dad died," I said.

"Sing it," he said.

"What? Andy, come on, it's a really sad song," I said.

"Sing it," he said again. I sighed before beginning.

"I once heard a great line of advice,
Only the brightest stars fall to Earth.
You shined brighter than the sun,
You must have been special,
So where did you go?" I started but I had to stop because the tears started. I felt a hand on my own but my lip started to quiver.

"Is this about your dad or something else?" Andy asked.

"I don't even know," I said quietly.

"Come here," he said and then I watched him move over in the bed. I'm pretty sure that I'm not supposed to lay on the bed with him, but I didn't care. I climbed in and rested my head on his shoulder/chest area. I just want this all to be over. I want my life to go back to normal, writing songs with Andy and having fun, not being beaten by Colton or crying because of my past demons.

Notes

So it's not really sad, but it's kind of, like I don't know, emotional. Whatever, Andy has woken up and they are being all cutesie. But they are not going to be in a relationship, I promise you. That will happen later, maybe. But not for the next like seven chapters. Hope you liked it. It's not the best, but it's not a filler.
