MADISON POV

My parents and I still aren't getting along. In fact my dad sent me a really nasty text.

Dad: have Demi get full custody of you. We don't want your fat ass around here anymore.

The worst part about the text is he's right, I am fat. Before Amanda and I got expelled I was getting bullied pretty badly. Everyone called me fat and ugly. Some girls told me to kill myself because I don't deserve to be alive. I guess I really don't deserve to be. I just take up space in the house.

All of the memories of the bullies are coming back to me. I know I promised Amanda I wouldn't self harm anymore but that's all I can think of. I get my blade from under my dresser and go in the bathroom.

The cold metal sends chills down my spine as I press down. I make the first cut and move on to another one. My arm is stinging and bleeding pretty badly. I grab a black washcloth and wet it. I clean off the blood and then press down to try and get it to stop. After 5 minutes of trying to get it to stop I give up and call for help.

"AMANDA COME HERE IM IN THE BATHROOM" I yell

I feel myself start to get dizzy and I start to go unconscious.

AMANDA POV

I hear Maddie call my name so I go in the bathroom and see her on the floor unconscious and her arm covered in blood. I pick up the washcloth she used and tape it to her arm. I call an ambulance and wait for them. I brought her downstairs so we could leave quicker.

The ambulance shows up and puts her in the back.

"Are you related to her?" A paramedic asks

"Yeah" I tell him

"Do you want to ride?" He asks

"Yeah" I say

I hop in the back with Maddie and we head to the hospital. I hold her hand the whole way.

When we get there she's taken to the emergency room and I wait in the waiting room. I realize I need to call Demi.

D: hello

A: Demi come to the hospital now it's madison

D: what happened

A: I'll tell you when you get here

Demi hung up the phone. I'm guessing she's on her way.

"Family of madison de la garza" a doctor says

I stand up

"Is she okay?" I ask

"Barely" he says

"Can I see her?" I ask

"Yeah, follow me" he says

I follow the doctor and see madison hooked up to a ventilator. A tear escapes my eye and I walk over to her.

"She hit a vein and lost a lost of blood she should wake up within a couple days but it's unpredictable" the doctor explains

"Is there a mother I can speak with?" He asks

"No but her sister is on her way" I say

"How exactly are you related to her?" He asks

"I'm her sisters adoptive daughter" I explain

"Oh okay" he says

"Oh my god madison" Demi runs in the room and says

"Dems" I say and hug her
