Just Two Kids Stupid And Fearless
I'll see you in my dreams, waiting to say, I miss you, I'm so sorry
Alex's POV:
"Have you talked to her today?", Jack was sitting with me in a taxi cab, on our way to my apartment in Baltimore.
"She haven't returned any of my calls this morning, so she doesn't know I'm coming.", I smiled of the thought of seeing Wendy for 2 days.
"She's in school now, so when she comes back you're laying naked on the bed with a rose in your mouth?", Jack said, and I laughed.
"Exactly.", I answered ironic. If she would go home for the first time since I left today, she would've been incredibly good at picking the wrong time. The taxi slowed down outside the building and I smiled even more.
"Are you coming with me?", I looked at Jack.
"Yeah.", he said. I paid the driver and we went to the elevator and my heart was beating fast. "You've really missed her."
"You're reading me like an open book.", I answered him and we got to my door.
While I was searching for the keys, Jack pulled in the doorknob for fun, and surprisingly in was open. I pulled my eyebrows together; "What the fuck?". Did Wendy forgot to lock before she left this morning? Or did she never leave? "Wendy?", I called when we walked inside.
"Alex, do you smell that?", Jack said and a weak smell of blood hit my nose. My heart started to beat faster, and I looked in the bathroom.
"WENDY?!", I was scared as fuck. Jack went to the kitchen while I went to the bedroom and I couldn't believe my eyes. She laid on the bed, and it looked like she was asleep until I saw her arms. Blood were flooding from her wrist and it felt like I would pass out too.
"JACK, GET ME A TOWEL WITH SOME WARM WATER AND CALL AN AMBULANCE! FAST AS FUCK!", I went to the bed and pulled her head up to my lap, as I looked over her wrist. It was obvious what she had done to herself, when I saw the razor next to her. Her body was lifeless, but I felt her pules from her neck. Jack came running in with a towel and he looked really chocked when he saw her. He handed me the towel and I wrapped it around her wrist, trying to stop the bleeding.
"Have you called?", my voice was shaking, and Jack went out again. I looked over Wendy again, and she was even thinner than before. "Come on baby, I know you can do this. Stay strong.", I said to her, or sobbed. "Don't leave me here alone."
I grabbed her phone when the ambulance came, just in case she wanted to call someone, because she would make it, right?
Jack took the passenger seat, and I sat with her in the back or the huge car, holding her hand. It was really painful to see when they put all these things on her, and talked about what to do. I didn't listen at all, I was speechless and I spaced out on their questions what to do with her. Silently, my tears was streaming down my face when I looked at her closed eyes.
If she left, what would I live for then? I had the music and the band, but the rest of the tour would be so bad, because I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about her, therefor crying.
"Have you called her parents?", Jack asked me outside Wendy's room. We wasn't allowed to visit her yet, because the doctors was looking on her.
"Can't you please do it?", I said and handed him my phone. I heard him unlock it and soon he had pressed it to his ear. I was breathing fast, and I felt how a panic attach was up coming. I started shaking, trying to control my breath. But how easy was that even? The girl I loved the most was near dying, and it felt like it was my fault.
I hadn't been there for her when she wanted me, and needed my support the most, but the big question was why. Sure, she was fragile, but enough to kill herself just because she missed me, it must've been something more.
"Alex, breathe.", Jack sat down next to me. "She'll be okey, she's strong."
"What if we would've arrived just a couple of minutes earlier, then we wouldn't be here. She would've been fully alive and not in this hospital.", I was still shaking.
"She's not gonna die. I promise you that. Just calm down, breathe, it's just chemicals, remember?", he hugged me, and the door opened. A man in a white coat walked towards to us.
"Is she gonna be okey?", Jack asked.
"Yes, she has lost a lot of blood though, but she can go home hopefully tomorrow. I've gotta say, you found her in the last seconds.", the doctor mumbled the last sentence.
"Can we see her?", I asked him.
"Yes, she's awake.", I bounced up, and almost ran to her.
Wendy's POV:
I survived. I didn't die. I was alive.
I saw Alex dizzy rushing through a door to me. Wasn't he on tour? How long had I been gone? I recognized the room, I was in a hospital. Who found me in that apartment even?
"Wendy? You scared the shit out of me!", Alex sat down on a chair next to me, and I tried to sit up a little. His eyes were red and puffy, like he just cried.
"How did I get here? How long did I pass out?", I was full of questions, and Alex grabbed my hand.
"It's 4 pm, I was about to surprise you when you got home from school, but I found you instead.", his breathed fast and I saw how worried he was in his eyes. "Please don't make me find you like that ever again. You have no idea how terrified I've been of losing you."
"You didn't.", I tried to smile. I looked down at my arm, and saw that my whole wrist was bandaged.
"I could've if I didn't came.", he said and his eyes teared up.
"Baby, don't cry.", I said and he kissed my forehead.
"Why?", he looked me in the eyes. I sighed and looked away.
"Have you called Taylor?", I tried to talk about something.
"No, do you want me to?", he asked me, and I saw that he pulled up my phone out of his pocket.
"Please don't look at that.", I hurried to say, and he looked at me with suspicious eyes. He grabbed it, and had soon unlocked it, and I saw his eyes reading on the screen.
"Is this the reason?", he asked me.
"Can you call Taylor please?", I said. "We can talk about that later."
"Sure, but babe, who would write that to you?", he looked really sad.
"I don't know why, but it's not only one person. We'll talk about that later.", he was about to say something, but didn't, and instead kissed me on the lips.
"I love you.", he said, and called my best friend.
"Have you talked to her today?", Jack was sitting with me in a taxi cab, on our way to my apartment in Baltimore.
"She haven't returned any of my calls this morning, so she doesn't know I'm coming.", I smiled of the thought of seeing Wendy for 2 days.

So, I just read what you have of this story and its prequel, and I really like what you have of both. At first, it was a little rough getting into it; it seemed kind of rushed at first, especially with all of the drama of how they got together and then broke up in like a day when they first met, but I have to say, after the time passed and they got back together again, this story just really started getting good. Some of the grammar is a bit off, but as you continued the story I noticed your improvement and that's awesome; that means you have definitely progressed as you have continued writing this.
I'm sad it was never finished, though. One thing I found a bit odd was that you continued with this installment after giving the first one an epilogue, due to the fact that means we already know the ending for Wendy and Alex, but... I kind of like how you did that. I don't believe I've seen an author do that before, kind of go back and fill in the time in-between in the sequel.
And this story is seriously so cute. Alex and Wendy's love is seriously so genuine; again, while it was a bit rushed at first, as I got into the second half of the first installment and this sequel it was just, wow, I just love their relationship. It's been a while since I've seen such a connection between the two characters and I seriously enjoyed it.
And I also liked the fact that as I got to the end of what you have so far, that you made it realistic. Alex understands she's not ready for a baby and is ready to sacrifice that. This is actually the first time I've seen this in a story, where it's being both considered and followed through with, along with the fact that both characters are for the most part peaceful with the decision. Hell I'm even peaceful with the decision, which really surprises me, because every other story where this has happened, I haven't been. And that's really weird for me, so kudos for pulling that off and making it convincing, and not making it so heartbreaking. I mean it is still a heartbreaking thing, but it's more understood that it's the best decision. Although the two characters being fine with it probably is what makes me as a reader somewhat okay with it. I'm happy you took that route as opposed to creating severe conflict, which is what I typically see with this idea. It was a nice change.
And, wow, this is a long comment. To sum up, I think you're a great writer and I really hope you're still writing on your own time, at least. I'm sad this wasn't finished, but I wanted to leave a comment letting you know my thoughts and just how much I've genuinely liked what I've read so far. Seriously, great job. If you ever choose to continue someday, I will be here to read. This story is too good to let go. I think these two characters should have more of a conclusion in this installment. But I guess overall I should be happy, considering with the last installment, we know that they end up together. So at least that's been told.
But still, if you continue, I'm willing to read. :)
