Semicolon ; "A semicolon is used when an author could've chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you, and the sentence is your life."
Author's POV:
Lia is trying to stay conscious but she's losing consciousness as the seconds go by, she struggles to scream for help but the only thing she's capable of saying is "I'm sorry" before everything turns black and she passes out. It isn't long before Bella walks into the house but she doesn't find Lia downstairs in the living room so she goes upstairs to her bedroom hoping she was there. When she gets upstairs she runs to the door that is wide open showing her best friend laying on the floor unconscious. As the girl is trying to wake her best friend up she's in a lot of tears, she starts screaming for help hoping someone can hear her. Jobe who just let himself in the family home because after 12 years of friendship with Ahmed, this was his second home and Ahmed felt the same way towards the Bellingham family home. He hears someone screaming for help upstairs and runs as fast as he can, when he reaches upstairs and sees Bella holding Lia's unconscious body while crying he hurries to her. As soon as Bella realizes he's there she pulls him into a hug, he assures her that Lia will be okay and comforts her while calling an ambulance. Once they got to the hospital, Lia is rushed to the ER because of the critical condition she's in. Bella and Jobe have to be the ones to tell everyone else the bad news, both of them are still very shocked at what just happened and are still trying to understand it themselves but they can't.
Jude's POV:
I just finished a post match interview and as I'm walking towards Mum in the stadium, I get a phone call from Jobe who sounds very fragile and by his tone I can tell somethings wrong
Jude: is something wrong? you don't sound okay
Jobe: yes, it's Lia
Jude: what happened? You're scaring me
he took a deep breath before telling me what has happened
Jobe: she...overdosed
My whole world just fell apart after that sentence. Everything suddenly turned into a blur and it was moving in fast motion. The only thing that I was able to say in that moment was "oh my God" because I just didn't want to believe that it was happening, I tried to wake myself up thinking it was just a nightmare because this was one of my biggest fears and it couldn't be happening. But sadly it was true. I told Jobe I'd be on my way and I talked to the manager about a family emergency so I was excused from training and my teammates were already boarding the plane back to Dortmund while Mum and I were driving to Birmingham. Mum tried to comfort me and tell me that everything would be okay, but it wasn't helping and I was still very scared about what would happen to Lia.
*****************************************
When we got to the hospital Lia's parents and Ahmed still hadn't arrived, there was only two people allowed in the emergency room so Jobe decided to come back to the waiting room so that Bella and I could be with Lia. Before I went into the ER Jobe handed me a note they found in Lia's room, and it read:
"I'm sorry if this hurts you, but you will soon see the world is better without me in it. I love you all so much"
-Lia
I just couldn't help but just break down in tears because everything was just starting to come together and I just couldn't believe that this was happening. I tried to wake myself up from this terrible nightmare but it was real and I couldn't change it. I hugged Jobe and he was telling me that everything would be okay but as much as I wanted to believe him, I couldn't. The thought of losing Lia scares me and the fact that she's fighting for her life right now is more scary. I wiped my tears and walked into Lia's room where Bella was sitting next to her, it was an awful feeling to see Lia's lifeless body on a hospital bed. She didn't deserve the pain she went through and it hurts more that she felt like a burden to everyone who loved her and thought that suicide was the answer.
Jude: hey
I said softly as I sat down on the chair next to Bella
Bella: hey
It was silent for a while before I said something
Jude: how is she? did the doctors say anything?
Bella: they told us that she's in critical condition and that they'll let us know more details soon.
It was really hard to hear her say that and I'm sure it broke her to say it, she looked very tired but she was trying to stay strong for Lia. It made me realize how much they were both always there for each other, and I was very glad Lia had someone like Bella in her life. The room went quiet again until the doctor came in, by the look on her face we could tell she had bad news
Bella: how is she?
Dr Kingsworth: Well she's still in a coma and if she hadn't been rushed to the hospital she could've have passed away.
Jude: is she going to be okay?
Dr Kingsworth: well for now all we can hope for is for her to wake up and be in a stable condition, and then we can go from there
Jude: thank you Doctor
The doctor left and Bella and I both had sad looks on our faces, we both hoped everything would be okay but we couldn't help but be worried.
Bella: I can't help but feel guilty, I could've done way more but I just chose my other friends and didn't spend time with her. She tried to tell me how she felt left out, but I never acknowledged her feelings. I will always hate myself for this and I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself. She didn't deserve this at all, she needed me at her lowest point and I wasn't there for her.
Jude: don't blame yourself for this at all, it's no one's fault I promise you. Everyone makes mistakes and you should forgive yourself, I know if Lia didn't want you in her life she would've cut you off a while ago but she didn't. You mean a lot to her and you were there for her more than anyone, you are her best friend and you guys will always have that special connection. No one or anything can break that bond
Bella: yeah I know, I just wish I could talk to her right now. I need to listen to her laugh, even if it's for the last time
Jude: you will, I promise she'll be okay
Bella: thanks Jude, I really needed this
Jude: anytime
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It's now 8pm and Lia is still in a coma but she's no longer in the emergency room, I just got to the hospital and I find Lia's mum and Bella in Lia's room. I greet both of them before I ask how Lia's doing
Jude: how's Lia?
Aline: nothing has changed, except that she's no longer in the emergency room
Bella: but she's not doing as bad as she was yesterday, she's going to be okay. I promise
Aline: yeah I know, but it's just the thought of losing my daughter and all the memories we might never create.
Jude : don't think like that, she will be okay.
I said as I tried to bring a little positive vibe, even though I didn't believe the words I was saying, Aline and Bella needed to hear this.
Jude: you guys have been here since yesterday, I can stay with Lia while you both go home and get some sleep.
They both hesitated before saying anything
Aline: well it would be nice to get some sleep, but we can't leave you here all alone
Jude: everything is going to be fine, I promise I'll call you if anything happens
They both ended up agreeing to go home and get some rest, they'd be back in the morning so I could go home and get some sleep too. They left at about 12am so I didn't have much to do, I wasn't feeling sleepy since I'd slept the whole day because I just couldn't get my self to wake up. I turn on the tv and play the first thing that comes up, It's a documentary about animals and I don't bother changing it because I can't think of anything else to watch. I do that for about 3 hours until Lia's heart monitor starts going off, I turn around to see it's slowly becoming a flatline. I immediately run to a doctor for help, when we're back in Lia's room she looks at Lia's heartbeat monitor and decides they're going to resuscitate her. She calls in for backup and asks me to step out of the room, I'm holding my breath hoping everything goes well and that the resuscitation is successful. A lot of thoughts start spinning around in my brain and I'm trying to keep myself calm even though the chances of Lia surviving right now are very low, I'm still trying to keep hope. While I'm overthinking everything I don't realize the doctor being next to me until she says something,
Dr Kingsworth: the resuscitation went well and the patient has more chances of survival than before, but I don't want to give false hope
Jude: thank you
Dr Kingsworth: here is a charcoal drink, it'll help with removing the rest of the pills she swallowed and you can give it to her when she wakes up
Jude: thank you so much Doctor
Dr kingsworth: my pleasure
She said with a smile on her face, before disappearing back to her office. I call Aline and tell her what had happened and assure her not to worry because Lia is in a better condition than before, she sounds more calm after I tell her that. I stay up for another half hour before falling asleep with my head on her bed while holding her hand.
Aaliyah's POV:
I'm in a lot of pain right now and I can feel a lot of lights hurting my eyes, I struggle to open my eyes and when I finally do I'm very confused about where I am. It takes me a few seconds for me to remember how I got here, I can feel something holding my arm and when I look at who it is I immediately start blushing a lot. He's sleeping peacefully with his head next to my stomach and his right hand holding my left hand, I don't want to wake him up so I calmly just run my fingers in his curly dark hair. I do that for a few minutes before he wakes up,
Lia: good morning
He was half asleep but when I said something, he looked like he'd seen a ghost. He starts touching my face to make sure I'm real and that he's not having a dream, he finally realizes that I'm real and not a dream. He is very excited and wants to call my doctors but I stop him, he gives me a confused look on his face
Lia: I just want to talk to you for a bit before I have to face people
Jude: sure, why not
He says as he hands me a drink the doctors said I should drink, I take one sip and it's tasteless so I'm very confused and trying to figure out what kind of drink it is until Jude asks me if it tastes like charcoal and then I take another sip that confirms it's charcoal
Lia: you fed me charcoal? how dare you?
I asked sarcastically
Jude: I'm sorry but I had to, the doctor said that it'll help with removing the pills from your body
Lia: it's so disgusting, I hate it
Jude: I find it quite funny actually, the charcoal is leaving stains on your teeth and it makes you look like a monster
Lia: let me see
He takes a picture of me and shows it to me
Lia: I have to admit, this is scary
Jude: but don't worry you look like a cute monster
Lia: haha thank you
Jude: I can go ask them if they have a different kind of drink, instead of this one if you don't really like it
Lia: yes please
Jude leaves to go find a nurse and I can't help but think about how I ended up here, I'm in pain everywhere in my body and it's the worst I've ever felt of my entire life. I try to calm down but the pain is really bad, I manage to control for a bit when Jude comes back.
Jude: the other drink they have is orange juice and I know how much you're obsessed with oranges, so I got it for you and it should be here in a few minutes.
Lia: okay thank you very much
I said as I forced a smile on my face and tried to stay strong, but the pain was so unbearable and uncomfortable. I'm sure Jude noticed me wincing In pain because he asked if I was okay
Jude: are you okay? you look like you're in a lot of pain
I hesitated to tell him the truth because I didn't want him to get worried, but he was trying to help so he deserved the truth
Lia: no, my whole body is in a lot of pain and it's so unbearable. Can you call my mum?
Jude: yes and then I'll call for a doctor to come check on you.
Lia: thank you
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
My mum, Jude, dad, Bella, Ahmed, Jobe, Denise and Mark just got here and I'm really excited to see them. The doctors got me pain killers to help calm down the pain and the orange juice and the charcoal drink helped me vomit the rest of the pills, I didn't like the taste of the orange juice since it was mixed with the medicine but I guess it was worth it. I'm still in pain, but it's not as bad as before and I can tolerate it. As I look around the room and see everyone laughing and being happy, I feel really guilty. I don't think I can ever apologize enough for the pain I've caused everyone in this room, nor will I ever forgive myself for this. As I'm deep in my thoughts Bella whispers in my ear asking me I'm okay
Lia: yeah I'm fine, just tired that's all
Bella: you sure?
Lia: yes, don't worry about me
I didn't want anyone to be more worried than they'd already been, I hated having anyone being worried about me because it felt like I was being a burden to them. I know I shouldn't feel that way but I do, and it really sucks. I know I'll have to talk to everyone about what happened, but I don't feel ready. I enjoyed everyone's company, but as the hours went everyone had to leave. Jude insisted on staying with me for the night and I couldn't turn him down since I enjoyed his company, while he went back home to take a shower Bella stayed with me.
Lia: you know, I can't really remember the last time we talked about random bs
Bella: honestly same, and I am really sorry about it
Lia: no you don't need to be
Bella: No I should, I realized that I wasn't being a good best friend and I invalidated your feelings. I should've been there for you when you needed me, but I was too busy with people I'd just met and it wasn't fair to you
Lia: thank you for your apology, but I just want you to remember that you were always there for me more than anyone and I am really glad I have you in my life.
Bella: I'm glad you're in mine too
She held me tight and the room was silent before she said anything
Bella: you know Jude really loves and cares about you, don't ever let him go
Lia: don't worry I won't
I said as I felt thousands of butterflies in my stomach. Every time I talk about Jude, I always ask myself how it's possible to love someone as much as I do and I still don't have an answer.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It's now the next morning and the doctors just told me that if I don't still feel like I'm going to puke I can eat, and I don't really want to eat but I'm very weak and I know that eating would be a good idea. When the food arrives I just stare at it for a while feeling disgusted not having any energy to eat, Jude is looking at me encouraging me to eat and it means a lot to me how much he's really trying. I only take a few bites before I feel really full, so I decide to take a shower and get ready. Even though I'm healing I still feel very weak, and I can't do a lot of things I would normally be able to do. I'm trying to tie my hair and for some reason I'm really struggling and I start getting frustrated, tears start falling down my face causing me to let out a frustrated sigh that Jude notices. He comes over to where I'm sitting and offers to help me, I give him the hair tie and he starts tying my hair, I'm very touched with his gesture that I can feel a lot of butterflies in my stomach.
Lia: you know you don't have to do this right?
Jude: I know , but i want to
Every time he said that I always blushed. And as much as I tried not to, I ended up blushing a lot. When Jude was done doing my hair, I expected it to be bad but it actually turns out really good as he did two French braids.
Lia: I'm very impressed, where did you learn how to braid and how did I not know about this?
Jude: well you told me how you didn't like doing your hair because it was too much work, so I learned how to do French braids which is your signature hairstyle.
This was one of the nicest gestures someone has ever done for me and I was very happy it was from him.
Lia: you know this just made me fall in love with you more?
Jude: I do
He said it with a tone that indicated he knew what he was doing, but was also really happy I appreciated him learning how to do my hair.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
It's been 2 weeks and I'm finally back home. Jude goes back to Dortmund in a few days and I'm already missing him. It's now 6pm and I'm currently on my bedroom balcony just being alone and taking in the fresh autumn breeze. My mind feels relaxed after hours of being on the balcony. My thoughts are interrupted with someone's arms around me, which scares me causing me to let out a small scream.
Jude: sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Your mum said you were upstairs so I figured you'd be out here
Lia: oh it's okay, I was just in deep thoughts
Jude: I can leave if you want to be alone
Lia: no stay
I said as I made more space for him to sit next to me. It's silent for a while and it's starting to get uncomfortable so I decide to break the silence
Lia: so...now what?
Jude: what do you mean "now what"
Lia: I mean what's going to happen now? Yk everything feels so weird, I feel like this is all a nightmare. It's like I'm still at the hospital and this is all just a never ending nightmare that I cannot escape no matter how hard I try. I just want everything back to normal
Jude: well I can't promise you that everything will go back to normal but I can promise you that your going to be okay, trust me.
Lia: thank you Jude, I'm so glad I have you in my life and I'll keep telling you that for the rest of my life.
Jude: I'm so glad you're in my life too
We basically held each other tight while we
watched the sun set. This will definitely be one of my most cherished moments and I'm very happy to experience it with him.
4 months later...
It's been four months and there isn't that much change except for the fact I decided to take a gap year off school and just focus on my mental health, and things have slightly started getting better. I am honestly so proud of myself for how far I've come, because if you had told me 5 months ago that I'd still be alive today I wouldn't have believed you because of how bad I wanted to end the pain. Jude's obviously still in Dortmund so we talk everyday as much as we can and the last time we saw each other was last month for New Year's. So you could say that everything in my life is actually going really good and I'm happy with the way everything is. Today is actually Valentine's Day and it's Jude and I's one year anniversary! I'm on a plane to Dortmund and Jude has no idea that I'm coming since he thinks that I can't come because I'm too busy. Quite offended he actually believes I'd make plans on our anniversary instead of spending it with him.
My flight just landed and I just got into a cab from the airport to Jude's house. The drive is very uncomfortable and awkward so I'm really glad when he drops me off at my location safe and sound, because the amount of Murders I've heard happen to females in Ubers/cabs is so heartbreaking. I get out of the cab and knock on the door, after a minute or two Denise answers the door with a big smile on her face.
Denise: it's so good to see you
Lia: it's good to see you too
I said as I gave her a hug
Denise: come on in
I got in the house and we talked for a while about I was doing, and stuff. I don't think either of us realized how fast time because by the time we realized it, Jude was already pulling up in the driveway. I immediately went to the backyard because I wanted to surprise him, earlier I had set up flowers, a Teddy bear and a note with a clue on where I was.
Jude's POV:
I just got home from training and mum tells me to go in my room, I ask why but she doesn't say anything but a smile on her face. I'm curious as to why she has a "Ik something you don't kind of smile" so I go up to my room and find flowers, a teddy bear and a note on my bed. I already know who it's from, considering it's Valentine's Day and our anniversary. I read the note and it says
"Go to the place where I first realized I was in love with you
-Lia"
I remember that she told me that the first time she realized she was in love with me was when she and I were in my backyard messing around, so I hurry and go to the backyard. When I get outside I see Lia waiting for me, but she doesn't realize I'm there so I decide to scare her. Making sure not to make any noise I walk over to where she is and cover her eyes, causing her to let out a scream. I move my hands from her face to her waist as she turns to face me.
Jude: I missed you
I whisper into her ear as I tuck her hair behind her ear
Lia: I missed you too
She says as she goes in for a short but passionate kiss. I honestly feel like I'm on cloud 9 right now
Lia: Did you really think I'd make plans today instead of being with you?
Jude: Not really, I knew that you'd end up surprising me
Lia: *laughs* You know me so well innit?
Jude: yeah, of course I do
Lia: anyways...I have a little surprise for you
Jude: I actually have something for you too, wait here
I go upstairs and take a small box that I had been planning to give Lia for our anniversary, once I'm done getting it I make my way back to the backyard where Lia is. I sit next to her and her hand her the box, she has a curious look on her face and even tries shaking the box trying to guess what's inside. I just give her a reassuring look to let her know that that she can open it.
Lia: oh my gosh- is that a Sweet Alhambra butterfly bracelet?
Jude: yes, you always talk about how much you want one so I got it for you
Lia: thank you love, I really love it
She says as she gives me a quick peck on the lips
Jude: I'm glad you do
Aaliyah's POV:
Jude just gave me a bracelet I've wanted for months and I honestly love it. I'm sure I'll wear it everywhere i go. I have a Custom 3D Photo Lamp Led to give him and it's a picture that Bella took of us on Christmas and we're both asleep while cuddling with each other.
(Example of Custom 3D Photo Lamp Led)
(What Jude and Lia's pic looks like)
Lia: okay my turn
I hand him the gift box and give him a reassuring smile telling him to open it, I watch him open his gift and since it's easy to read his facial expressions I can already tell he likes it.
Jude: this is perfect, I'm going to have this in my room so that you'll be the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think of before I fall asleep.
Lia: aww I love you
Jude: who doesn't
He says cockingly, before I jokingly hit his arm
Lia: hey, you're supposed to say it back
Jude: fine, I love you too
He says as rolls his eyes sarcastically
Lia: I hate you
I respond with the same sarcastic energy
Lia: anyways, I have something to show you. But first answer this, what is something I've always wanted to get but have never had the guts to do it?
Jude: I don't know...getting a semicolon tattoo?
Lia: yes...well-
Jude: wait no way, you actually got it?!?
Lia: yes, a few days ago actually
Jude: no way you actually got it
Lia: I did, here's your proof if you don't believe me
Jude: oh my God it's beautiful, you always talk about getting this tattoo and I'm so happy you got to accomplish this. I'm so proud of how you've come
Lia: thank you, you're actually the first person I'm showing this to other than my tattoo artist of course. I knew I wanted you to be the first person to see it because you were there for me during my hardest times and you continue to be with me through the highs and lows of life. I love you
Jude: of course I'll always be there for you whenever you need me, I love you too

I'd also like to send out all all of my prayers and my love to all the Ukrainian Citizens, I pray they're all safe and no one deserves what they're experiencing. But I'd also like to send out my love for Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Yemen and Somalia. No one is paying attention to those countries and they only treated them like trends, they think that because they're poc their lives matter less than theirs. So please don't treat Free Palestine or Free Afghanistan like trends, these countries are still not okay and there many countries I didn't mention but please find a way to educate yourself on what's going on and find ways to help❤️🙏🏽
I'm so sad that I actually just finished the book, like I literally cried a little 💀 but I want to thank you all so much for the support I've received while writing this book, honestly I don't think I'd have written this many chapters if it weren't for your support. So thank you and I'll be back soon🤍🤍
