The world seemed to stand still as the doctors watched the flat line. They had already shocked him two times, and nothing had happened.

"Call it, Yang." A voice spoke through the room sadly requesting the girl to say the young boy's time of death.

"He's fourteen." The intern paused not even glancing at the clock. "Shock him again."

Everyone stood still, so Yang took it upon herself to shock the boy. Yang was right when she shocked him. Felix's heart began to beat again, and he also began to cough. Felix isn't ready to leave this world just yet. He still has a story to write.

Felix's eyes were wide open as he glanced around the room in a panic. He was looking for Nolan and Xavier as a feeling in the pit of his stomach made him feel nauseous. They couldn't be dead, right? If he can live through three suicide attempts there is no way those two died from jumping off a small bridge.

200 foot drop.

Those three words rang through Felix's head as the doctors began checking his vitals. There is no way they could be dead, but what if they were dead? That meant Felix had killed them.

"Felix!" The voice pulled Felix from his thoughts.

He glanced up at the doctor smiled at him.

"Good work Yang. Can you understand me Felix?" The doctor asked.

"Y-Yes. Where is Nolan and Xavier?" Felix ask trying to set up.

"Please don't move Felix. You just came out of surgery. The two boys that came in with you are fine, you on the other hand were bleeding into your brain until a few hours ago." The doctor said smiling.

"Oh, that's good." Felix said looking around the room.

"Felix, there is a social worker outside. She has to confirm this was not another suicide attempt. Is it okay if she comes in?" The doctor asked as Felix frowned a little.

"I guess."

Just as Felix spoke the social worker rushed into the room, and took a seat beside Felix.

"Hello, Felix." She said with a bright smile.

"I wasn't trying to kill myself." Felix murmured as she kept her sickly sweet smile on her face.

"Is there any proof? If not, you're going to be assigned to a mental asylum." She explained.

"I had no other choice honestly. The train was coming, and I didn't want Xavier and Nolan to die because of me." Felix said sadly. "Where is Nolan and Xavier?" He added quickly.

"They're outside. Your story matches the report, so this incident will not go under suicide. I'm also here for one more reason. Luke and Ashton Hemmings have requested to adopt you." She smiled at Felix as he just stared at her.

"Me? I-I'm not a good choice. I-I'm practically broken." Felix said avoiding the woman's eyes.

"They think differently. I just need you to sign this, and you will be officially considered their child. Also you can legally use Hemmings as your last name. It seems that you weren't too fond of your last one, so I presume you just started using Hemmings when you came into their home." The woman said handing Felix a clipboard and pen.

Felix awkwardly signed the paper as he continued laying on the bed. He then handed the clipboard back to the woman. The woman was right. He hated his old last name.

"Thank you so much. Boys, you can come back in." The woman said as she stood up and walked towards the door.

Nolan and Xavier rushed into the room. It that split second Felix took note of their injuries. Nolan was covered in cuts while his arms where covered in stitches. Xavier on the other hand had his arm in a sling. Xavier and Nolan sat on the bed beside Felix looked up at them.

"I did this to you." Felix mumbled as tears streamed down his face.

"Felix, if anything I did this to you. I'm so sorry I kissed you, I'll never do it again. I'm so sorry." Nolan said as tears welled in his eyes.

"I was the stupid one w-who sat in the middle of a bridge with a 200 foot drop." Felix said leaving Nolan's lie undetected.

"I would have walked on a million bridges with thousands foot drops to save you, Felix." Nolan said with a small smile.

"I would do the same." Xavier said smiling.

Everyone in the room was smiling, but the blonde girl in the hallway wasn't. She had her back against the wall beside the entrance as she listened to the boys conversation.

They were all wrong. It was all her fault. She slid down the wall until she was seated on the cold tile floor. She wrapped her arms around her legs, and hid her head in her knees.

Then she cried.

She had done this. She had caused all of this. She just meant it as a joke. She was never in the in crowd, but she began getting a little popular her seventh grade year, but all her friends were mean. Whenever her friends joked about someone's weight or family, she thought it never hurt them.

When she stared making jokes about people it seemed that she actually started having friends. It's like they accepted her into their group.

"Are you all fags, or something? You like d*ck Felix? Should've know you little pansy, but I wouldn't expect Nolan to go for this cutter."

Adeline clutched her legs as she listened to her own words ring in her head. She remembered the look on Felix's face as he pulled at his sleeves.

"Oh, you thought I didn't see your scars? Did your last family not give you enough attention or something? News flash kid, you're not important."

Adeline's body shook as she sobbed. Those weren't her words. She didn't want to be like this. All she wanted was something she never had: friends. Her group of friends changed her, but at the end of the day it was all her.

"Oh, so the little fag is crying? And you are leaving now? Did I make you upset? Are you going to kill yourself? Nolan don't follow him. You're not a fag, are you?"

She was the one who said those word, not her friends. She was now exactly what Nolan had said:

"You bitch! This is why no one likes you, you're mean. This is also why you have no real friends!"

No real friends.

No real friends.

He was right: Adeline didn't have any real friend. The ones she had only stayed because Adeline was like them: a bitch who made fun of people just like them.

Adeline never wanted to be like this, but it seemed like the only choice left in the world.
