Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
I awoke to the unfamiliar site of a girl in the empty bed across from mine. I've been in the hospital for what feels like an eternity and this was the first time the doctors have filled that bed.
"Hey girl you awake!" I called over unable to contain my curiosity. I got no answer so instead I crawled out of bed and walked over to look at her chart.
Angel Faye
Age 17
Attempted Suicide
"Angel huh... my names Rebecca, I'm thirteen." I explained as I sat at the end of her bed. I studied her body closely. Her arms were all bandaged up and her face... she truly was an angel. I couldn't imagine what could have caused such beautiful girl to attempt suicide.
"I'm sorry you have had it so hard Angel." I said to her, though I'm sure she couldn't hear me. "I've had it pretty rough too..." I looked down at the bruises on my arms and the cuts on my legs. "...all I ever wanted was a friend but instead all I get is bullied and pushed around."
Angels eyes began to open which brought a smile to my face.
"I know we don't know each other but I feel like we must have a lot in common to have both ended up here...." I continued to explain. "...you will be my closest friend."
