Friendships Never End

We got to the ER and they took Jake right away, we sat in the waiting room. I started worrying to the point that my legs started shaking, Ben grabbed my hand and we walked outside. "Shy, calm down he will be okay." "But what if he's not Ben, what if he is so ill we have to drop the tour?" I said tears coming out my eyes, I put my head in my hands but Ben pulled them away. He did something i didn't expect him to do, he crashed his lips onto mine. His arms wrapped around my waist and mine around his neck, he pulled away. "Shyana Johnson, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked nervously, "Yes, Yes I will be your girlfriend Benjamin Bruce." I said smiling, he gave me a quick peck on my lips and we walked back with our fingers intertwined. We sat down and Max and Kyle gave Ben a thumbs up. They all planned this, well I guess not to happen now but eventually. It was 3:00 am and I fell asleep on Ben's shoulder. I woke up to him shaking me, "Family of Jake Cerulli." The nurse asked standing in front of us "I'm his cousin." Chris said standing up. "I'm his sister." I said standing up to when Chris looked at me. She took us outside his room, "Jake has something called Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome, do you know if has drank a lot then either stopped or drank less." "I do, he didn't drink as much as he normally does. Usually he will blackout then still stay out for about an hour then comeback very drunk, but last night he came back earlier then everyone else and wasn't even that drunk." I said as she nodded. "Well we have to keep Jake here at the hospital for the next few days so you might want to either have your band take a break from the tour for a while or cancel part of the tour." She said smiling, me and Chris looked at each other shocked. "My daughter listens to both your bands. Actually Shy, you saved her life with your music. Would you mind if I brought her tomorrow to meet her." I was super excited so I started jumping up and down. "Yes I would love to. I want to find 1 fan that I can explain my life too before my interview next week." I said while she smiled. "I know she will be glad to meet you, I will be Jake's nurse until he leaves. My name is Anna, and yes I have talked to your tour doctor. She agreed with the doctors here so he will stay for 2 weeks and we will check him and if he needs to stay longer we will let you know." She said letting us go into the room. I walked over to Jake's bed and he scooted closer to his IV thing letting me lay next to him. He cuddled into my side and we sat there, we both fell asleep. I

woke up to people saying "awwwwww." I groaned and rolled over and ended up falling onto the floor. "I guess somebody isn't a morning person." said Mike laughing. Kellin walked over "I WUV YOU SHY!" "Sh Kellin, you have to use indoor voice." I said like a little kid holding me head. Anna walked in, "Shy, do you want a bed in Jake's room to sleep, you look sleep deprived?" She asked helping me up I nodded. "I will tell the nurse that is setting up his room in the hospital area to set up another bed." She said as she walked out. Ben picked me up and and held me in his arms where I fell asleep, this time I woke up to Oli whispering in my ear, "We will never sleep, cause sleep is for the weak and we will never rest till we're all fucking dead." "Well then make me dead so I can rest." I said rolling over. "Shy you need to wake up, you have slept for an hour but we want to say goodbye before continuing the tour without you, also Anna is coming in with her daughter." He said hugging me as I sat up. Everybody rushed over to me and hugged me, Jesse held me to the point I couldn't breathe so I bit him. "What was that for?" He asked rubbing his arm. "I couldn't breathe or speak so I used self-defense." I said making everybody laugh.

They all left leaving me and Jake. I sat up in my bed with my legs criss-cross when someone knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Jake asked in a womanly voice making me laugh. Anna walked in with her daughter, Anna told me earlier that her name was Jessica but she preferred Jessie. "Hey Jessie, what's up?" I asked as I opened my arms for her to hug me, she accepted my open arms. "I am good, I am super happy I get to meet you." She said sitting across from me the same way I was sitting. "Jessie you can stay for four hours no longer." Anna said leaving the room and shutting the door. "So Jessie you are going to be the fan that gets to know about me before anyone else at the interview I am having next week. But you cannot tell anyone any of the things I am about to tell you." She nodded and I began. "I was born on-" "please get to 6th grade." She said anxiously, "I was just joking, I will actually start in 7th grade. It was the middle of the school year and I could play drums, but I finally gave up with all the things people said to me and I started going to the forest by my house. I would always climb this one tree and write music and eventually I started cutting, I never talked to my friend Vic about it when I should've. In 8th grade I learned how to play guitar, I learned by myself with a little help from Vic. I also met my friend Casey, one day I went to the forest to find someone already sitting in the tree I always sat in. Now I may be bipolar but I wasn't going to act like a little kid even though she was in the tree and on the same exact branch I always sit on. I climbed up the tree and we started talking, we instantly became friends. A year later I met my worst nightmare, Oliver Sykes. He would push me, shove me, call me ugly, fat, slut, whore. But I just cut and wrote my feelings still not telling anyone. In 10th grade Casey made me go to a party that she knew would have alcohol and knew I shouldn't drink but she made me go anyways. When we got there I went to the basement because at first it was empty till two more girls came down stairs because they were both made to go by there friends. We talked and talked until about 11 'o clock, I had one girl hold my purse while I went upstairs to find Casey. I found her lying on the bathroom floor with pills by her, I knew they were OxyContin. I held her in my arms and she said 'Shy, I love you.' And died in my arms. For the next 2 weeks I sat blaming myself for her death and started drinking. Soon when that wasn't enough I took up smoking, then I tried suicide. I put a cut in my arm and I watched the blood drip out, I blackout and my friend Vic took me to a hospital. Then about a month later I did the same to my leg and Mike took me to the hospital. Then 3 months later, Oli punched me in the nose and ended breaking it. I was gone from school for a week after getting surgery done. On my last day off before I had to go to school, I jumped off a bridge. My friend Kellin caught me and pulled me back saving me. Then a kid named Jake Schmitt started dating me, but Oli's hurtful sayings got worse. I was going to slit my throat with knife, my friend Vic took it from my hand. The next year I was going to shoot myself then Mike took the gun from my hands the next day I found out my boyfriend was dared to date me and I ended up going to the forest and cutting my wrists, thighs, and stomach. I found Tony about to shoot himself and I said 'if you die please take me with you' he brought me home and cleaned my cuts, we talked and got to know each other and ended up kissing. We kissed once and that is it. The next day I woke up Vic and Mike at their house and Vic saw my cuts and we talked. Then I ended running into Oli on the way to school, I ran to the bathroom and looked at my cuts. He walked in and once he saw them he apologized and I forgave him. The next day I saw he had a kid pressed against the wall and me and him got into and argument and I punched hi. In the nose, that is when I met Jaime. Tony yelled at me calling me a fat ugly slut and some other things making me go to the forest to cut and sing. I finished singing Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day when people applauded, I performed with Jaime and another kid and at the end my sweatshirt rolled down and blood dripped down my arm. I ran off and the other kid ran after me, that is when I met the lovely Jake sitting over there." I said pointing towards Jake. "He cleaned my cuts and we ended up kissing once too, later I checked Oli's nose and we ended up kissing. I told him it wasn't broken because I would know and he broke down because he never knew he broke my nose. The next day Jake, Oli, and Mike got into a fight with Tony while some guy ran to the forest with me. We sat there and some red haired kid came there after I calmed down. That is when I met Kyle and Max, that day me, Jake, Kyle, and max performed and became The Fearless Kids. My mom bought us a house in LA and we moved in, I got rid of all contact with my friends back in San Diego. I want to get my lip pierced and get some tattoos when I met my friend Jonathan who has gave me all my tattoos but an Umbrella Corp. one I got when I was 16. I also met Ben since he walked in over hearing that he was my inspiration. About a month later we were signed to Fearless Records, but they let us finish high school and college before our first album. An he we are now, living our dreams." I said smiling while Jessie wiped away the tears that fell.

After a while Jessie left so I went back to sleep, to be woken up 2 hours later by people. Kyle, Max, and Ben came back, Ben handed me a McDonald's bag with my lunch in it. I ate and fell asleep, I woke up to Ben crawling into bed with me wrapping my Star Wars blanket around us and placing his arm around my waist.
