Trigger Warning; attempted suicide

_____________________________

Daniel lived in a dorm with his friends. The dorm he was in for four. He shared a bedroom with his friend Jacob and in the next room over was Roberto and Keith.

Daniel sat on his bed, his whole body shaking, his shoulders hitching with each sob and his fingers tangled in his hair. He had already texted the guys, apologizing for what he might do. Apologizing for what he's done. How much of a burden he's been. He couldn't think. His judgement was clouded as if his mind was a suffocating black smog.

He hated himself. Everything about himself. He hated being so venerable. He was now 20. He was an adult. He should be okay. He's got friends, a mom and a brother supporting him.
He shouldn't fee this way. He doesn't deserve to.

These thoughts only escalated. He ran over to his closet and tore things out in a frantic manner before finding a black journal. He tossed it onto his bed. It would explain everything. Then he dashed to the bathroom. He threw open the cabinets. He heard the lock turn and the door open.

"Daniel?"

It was Keith.

Daniel shut the door and locked it. He heard running footsteps.

"Daniel!?"

Daniel didn't respond. Keith tried to open the door as Keith tried to open the door.

"Daniel, what the hell man!"

Daniel pushed the things off the shelves trying to find something in particular. Keith heard the noises of the bottles and pills falling.

"Daniel, don't do this! Roberto!"

The door started banging. Daniel grew frantic. He found what he was looking for. He grabbed the bottle and fiddled with the cap. He wanted this. He wanted this so bad. He took the lid off and tilted his head back. He lifted the container .

Before a single pill could fall, Daniel was slammed into and the pills knocked from his hands. Daniel started screaming. He could barely process that Roberto was holding him on the floor and away from the bottle that Keith picked up, his eyes wide and tears visible.

Daniel was sporadic underneath Roberto's hold on his shoulders. Daniel clawed at his arms and tried to throw him off.
"No, don't do this! Just let me die! I want to die! Please, I can't- I can't g-go o- please! Just let me die!"
He screamed, repeating the phrases again and again. Eventually, he stilled. The moment Roberto was off of him he backed up against the wall and drew his legs to his chest and hid his face with had tears still streaming down it.

"Yeah, Jacob? You in class? Good, we need you to come back to the dorm. Hurry."
The the hang up tone.

Daniel looked up and Kieth put his phone away. Roberto and Keith both had tears in their eyes.

"Why Daniel?" Kieth asked, holding up the half empty pill container, the rest of the contents spilled on the floor fork the collision previously.

Daniel didn't say anything. Keith's eyes narrowed and tears started falling freely.
"Damnit, why Daniel! Why would you do this to yourself! Your family! To us?" His voice cracked.

"Daniel? Just breath okay?"
Roberto said as he gently placed his hand on Daniel's knee.
"Here, follow me. In 2, 3, 4. Hold. Out 2, 3, 4. See, it's easy. It's just like the breathing exercises from band" he said, referring to high school when Daniel had played saxophone. Roberto spoke with an almost hopeful tone to his voice, though his voice was small and quiet.

Daniel did as instructed. Eventually he calmed down. He looked at Keith, who sat with his legs tucked under him and the bottle container in his hands that were resting on his thighs. His face was black, but tears were visible.

"Why, Daniel? Why?" He asked again, but this time calmly.

Before Daniel could answer the door to the dorm opened and closed.
"Guys, where are you?"

"Bathroom." Roberto answered.

Jacob walked in, and instantly his bag that had been on his shoulder dropped to the floor.
He was silent as he slowly made his way over to sit next to Daniel.

Daniel started crying and hid his face again.
"Hey, hey," Jacob gave him a small hug.
"Just calm down, we'll make it through this, alright? Together, all of us. We'll be right by your side, right guys?"

"Yes" Roberto said.

"Absolutely!" Keith answered.

Daniel managed to find it in him to form a small smile. And that smile rippled amount his friends. He was pulled in for a grip hug. Who initiated it he didn't know, but he could honestly care less at the moment.
