Numb

Ashley's POV:

Courtney hasn't come out of her room in a week, and hasn't eaten anything in that time as well. After her brief time in the hospital, she hasn't been the same. It worries me.

She won't talk to anyone, or let anyone in her room. She's barricaded the door, and the only sounds we hear coming form her room are the heartbreaking sound of her crying herself to sleep. Something happened to her. She won't let anyone in, even Andy, who'd she'd previously trusted more than anyone else. Andy's absolutely heartbroken, and blames himself, even though no one knows what's wrong.

I've called a therapist, a psychologist, a counsellor, everyone I can think of. I debated calling Grams, but knew it would juts scare he. I'd rather have her thinking that her only granddaughter is happy and safe, the polar opposite of reality.

Nobody can help her,but we have to try. We need to. I've had the guys stay over, hoping one of them will reach out to her, but so far, no such luck. It's now Tuesday, exactly a week since she was allowed to leave the hospital.

Andy collapses onto the couch next to me, putting his head in his hands and shaking violently. "She's gone, Ash, Court's gone. She just kept sobbing, and then stopped. I don't know what to do," he cries.

I feel tears well up in my eyes, when Jinxx suddenly sits up abruptly, his face paling at a new realization. "guys... what fi, you don't think she'd.."

He trails off, but its' too late. We're all running up the stairs, and freeze when he stop at her closed door. No sound is evident from the other side, which scares me.

I take a deep breath, and slowly turn the knob, the guys behind me, and the door opens easily.

Notes

I'm back, and sorry for my absence. School is busy, and all that shit.

So, something happened. But what? Cliff hangers are not fun, but I feel like this story has suddenly dropped in comments. That kinda bugs me, maybe I'm overreacting.

Anyways, what do you guys think is causing for Court to spiral out of control so suddenly?

qotd: have you ever suffered from depression, anxiety, eating disorder, self-harm, etc?
If so, what have you guys done to try and help yourself?

I'll answer if you guys want :/
