I kissed all her scars.
Don't leave me
Jeremy POV
Knock on Tempest's door. "Tempest?" No response. I knock harder, "Tempest!!" Still, no response. "Oh shit." I throw open the door. She isn't in her bed. I check the bathroom. "TEMPEST!!!" There she is, in the bathtub. She is barely breathing, gray skin, deep cuts on each wrist. "Come on, stay with me girl." I pick her up and run to the car. I carefully lay her in the passenger seat and slam the door. Once I am inside the car, I fumble with the keys. My hands are shaking and I feel a rush of adrenaline. When I get to the hospital I kick the doors open. "BED NOW!!!" The doctors run a bed over to me. I lay her down. "What happened?" One of the doctors ask me. I shake my head, "She...suicide." I manage to stutter out. His face goes grim and they start running faster. Once we get to a empty room, they lift her onto the table. "1, 2 ,3!!!" They all pick her up at once. One of the nurses starts hooking up machines to her. "I'm sorry sir but, you must leave the room." I nod and the doctor puts his hand on my shoulder. "Trust me son, we won't loose her." I nodded again and left the room. I pull out my phone and call Triss. "Triss, I'm at the hospital....come quick....please." I hang up then go sit in a chair. Once I sit down I break. I start crying and one older women came up and hugged me. "Shhh, shhh, it'll be okay, it'll be okay." I know she is just saying that out of kindness but nothing will be okay. It never will be.
Triss POV
"Andy!!!" I throw a pillow at his face. Stop groaning, knowing Tempest, she'll come back. "I'm not so sure about that." He moans again and sips his coffee. "God, my head is SPLITTING" I chuckle "Yeah that happens, sooo wh-" I stop short feeling my phone vibrate in my boobs. It's Jeremy, Tempest's older brother. I met him one night trying to come over. He asked me to keep an eye on Tempest and asked for my number. I gave it time him, not because he was cute or anything but, because he was Tempest's brother. "Ello?" I say. "Triss, I'm at the hospital..." He says. "Wait what, why???" I ask. "Come quick....please." His voice pleading. "Yes, okay I'll come as quick as I can." He hung up. I quickly grabbed all my stuff. "Sorry boys, got to go." Ashley pokes his head from the kitchen, "Why?". "Triss's brother is at the hospital, he wants me to come see him." Andy's eyes pop open. "Did he say why?" I shook my head, "No, but I really, really have to go." I start heading towards the door. "I'm coming with." I hear the boys say in unison. I sigh, "Okay, but hurry up." I get to the car and right as I start it, Andy and Ash jump in the car. Once we get there, we walk in and I see Jeremy in on of the chairs. My face paled as soon as I saw him. "No..." I say. He nods and gets up. He walks us to her room and I can about feel the emotion. "This is all my fault." I hear Andy say. "Is she alive??" Jeremy nods, "Barely, she took about 100 pills and cut right to her veins." His eyes are dull and puffy. I look at Tempest one more. She has a breathing mask on, tubs in her arms, her skin is a unhealthy gray, and she looks really fragile. "Why..." Andy asks. Jeremy shakes his head, "I don't know, all I know is she came home crying....after a fight with you..." I watch as Jeremy's face turns from sad to pissed off. "Actually yes, I know exactly why this happened." He spins around to face Andy. "Our step father, rapes and beats her. She gets bullied at school, the only friends she has is you guys. She was getting better when she met you." he gestures to Andy. "But then you had to go and fuck it up didn't you?" We all looked shocked. "She let you in and you tore her apart. She trusted you and you broke that trust into a million pieces. And if we weren't in a hospital right know I would be beating you into a bloody pulp." He turns back to Temp and sits in the chair next to her. Next thing I know he is crying. I sit kneel next to him, "Jeremy?" He looks up, tears running down his face. "I'm not going to say it'll be okay because I don't know that but, what I do know is that Tempest loves you. Don't blame you or Andy. It isn't either of ya'lls fault. I guess that's the fault in our stars. Loving someone too much and then dying when they go. But she hasn't gone anywhere. She may be sick, but she's not dead. Don't give up hope." With that I get up and sit outside. "Oh Tempest.... please, please don't leave me." A single tear rolls down my face and falls to the floor
