Chapter Twelve – Kelsey

We were only allowed to see her for a quick visit, since it was past visiting hours and we weren’t family. The nurses made an exception because I was the one who found her, and her roommate. Without me, she’d just be some Jane Doe, since her ID was somewhere in the dorm room, an unnamed girl who overdosed.

She was still alive, but barely. They flushed her stomach, but she kept having seizures, so…they put her in a medically induced coma.

Mel looked so small on that bed, so still, as if frozen in time. Her arms were hooked up to IVs dripping fluids into her system to keep her hydrated, her body still pale, but looking a bit better than it did in our room.

I could not get her seizing out of my mind. I’d never seen a seizure before. Growing up, kids made jokes about seizing and stuff, but you never really knew how bad they were, how unnatural they were, until you watched one first hand.

It wasn’t good. It wasn’t joke material. It was awful, and I felt an inner pain unlike any other. My heart literally hurt for Mel, for what she did to herself, what she was going through. My heart might’ve ached before for Levi, but this was a different kind of pain. The soul-crushing kind. The kind of turmoil you only felt when you were faced with the reality that someone you cared about might not live to see another day.

Or that she might never open her eyes again.

I sat on a chair with a hideous floral pattern beside her bed. My body was exhausted from staying up all night; through the curtains on the window, it looked like dawn would arrive soon. No matter what I tried to do, I could not tear my eyes off her.

She looked so fragile, so broken. I couldn’t believe I didn’t pay enough attention to her before. How could I have missed how broken she was? Was I really that terrible of a friend?

I hated it. Honestly, I hated it more than I’d ever hated anything before. My self-imposed misery because of what I did the weekend before Halloween was nothing compared to how shitty I felt right now.

Levi stood behind me, towering over me as we both looked at her, as if staring at her hard would bring her back, undo the mistakes made on this shitty night.

It wouldn’t. Staring at her would only make me feel worse, but here I was, and here we were. Levi was dragging me out of here after this; I guessed sleep would be a good thing, but I did have classes to go to. The closer we got to Thanksgiving, the more everything felt real. Papers would start being due soon; the professors would start going over the stuff that would be on their exams. Now was really not the time to start skipping classes.

Plus, I was paying for this shit. Well, future me would. Loans and all that.
