Dean sighed as he sat alone in his room, his eyes were red and puffy, sunken in from all the nights he stayed awake thinking of what an ass he was. He started to become leaner and leaner, he had stopped taking care of himself because if he didn't have Riley, he didn't want to be alive. He contemplated suicide alot since he fucked everything up. But he never kept the thought long enough to actually go through with it

He rubbed his hands over his eyes and took a deep breath. He looked at the picture that was staring at him from his bedside table

(Pretend its Riley)^

He picked it up and gripped it so tight, his knuckles began turning white. A broken sob left his throat and he closed his eyes tightly, while tightening his grip on the frame until it broke apart in his hand, he watched the picture tumble out and he growled, flinging the broken frame across the room, watching it hit the wall and slide down. He yelled out and punched the mirror, watching it shatter and the shards got stuck in his hand. His bedroom door burst open and Seth casted worried eyes on Dean who was now curled up against the wall, sobbing into his knees, his hand bleeding, but he didn't care because the bleeding in his heart was too much

Seth ran to his adjoined bathroom and got a white towel and and wrapped it around Dean's hand

"I-I lost h-h-her S-Seth." Dean said, it was then that Seth saw exactly how broken he was.

"I don't want to l-live if I-I can-can't be with h-her." Dean admitted and Seth just listened while helping Dean up

He buckled Dean into his car and locked the doors, going back upstairs for a better towel since Dean's was already soaked in blood

He found a paper on the bed that had a neat scribble across it and he looked at it, thinking it to be a suicide note. He read the first part

For the love of my life, Riley Jolene Reigns. If I die. I want her to get this. I didn't want it to come to this, but I already bought the sleeping pills and I'm gonna stop suffering tomorrow. Tell Riley I made the biggest mistake of my life and I'll always love her ~Dean

Seth sighed and folded the letter, putting it into his back pocket as he got into the car, where Dean was still crying his eyes out. Dean himself, was shocked he still had tears left to cry

When they got to the hospital, Dean's wound was treated and banded up and they went to Seth's house and after reading the note earlier, Seth didn't trust Dean to be by himself

He made sure Dean was with his mom before he got into his car and went to the Reigns' house and knocked

Riley opened the door, looking horrible but she was a little better than Dean

"He's miserable." Seth simply said, handing her the letter and then going back to his car to go to Dean's house to clean up and get some clothes for Dean since he was spending the night

Riley sat down and looked at the letter in her hands. She realized it was a song lyric sheet. She began reading

"Girl I see it in your eyes you’re disappointed
‘Cause I’m the foolish one that you anointed with your heart
I tore it apart
And girl what a mess I made upon your innocence
And no woman in the world deserves this
But here I am asking you for one more chance

Can we fall, one more time?
Stop the tape and rewind
Oh and if you walk away I know I’ll fade
‘Cause there is nobody else

It’s gotta be you
Only you
It’s gotta be you
Only you

Now girl I hear it in your voice and how it trembles
When you speak to me I don’t resemble, who I was
You’ve almost had enough
And your actions speak louder than words
And you’re about to break from all you’ve heard
Don’t be scared, I ain’t going no where

I’ll be here, by your side
No more fears, no more crying
But if you walk away
I know I’ll fade
'Cause there is nobody else

It’s gotta be you
Only you
It’s gotta be you
Only you

Oh girl, can we try one more, one more time?
One more, one more, can we try?
One more, one more time
I’ll make it better
One more, one more, can we try?
One more, one more,
Can we try one more time to make it all better?

'Cause its gotta be you
Its gotta be you
Only you
Only you

It’s gotta be you
Only you
It’s gotta be you
Only you"

She felt when her tear dropped and hit the paper and she shook her head and lay down, next to her favourite picture of Dean

"Why'd you have to fuck it up?" She whispered, beginning to cry again, she closed her eyes tightly and her body racked as her teara fell on his face

Dean stared into space as he didn't breathe

"Dude," Seth said, putting a pizza pocket in his mouth

"Hmm?" Dean said, making a noise of acknowledgement

"Tomorrow you're gonna talk to Riles." Seth said

Dean's eyes instantly widened

"Seth no, she doesn't wanna see me." Dean said shaking his head furiously

"She's just as miserable as you. You two need to sort it out. Cuz I actually don't want to drown in your tears." Seth said, jokingly rolling his eyes.

Dean didn't reply just sat in silence.

He didn't know much, but he knew this much was true. He needed Riley. He needed her to make him a better man. She was so beautiful and forgiving and he was a fucker who always broke her heart. Maybe Seth was right. He huffed and focused on what Seth was watching

'It's gotta be you Riley," he thought to himself as he drank some of the water Seth had given him
