I think we have an emergency
I heard quick, uneven breaths coming from the bathroom. -Liz, Im really sorry.- I called through the closed door.
There was no response.
-Liz?-
I turned the door handle and pushed it open. I stopped dead. Lila was crumpled on the floor, a knife in her chest. -RAY!- I screamed.
If you thought Id leave then you were wrong
Cause I wont stop holding on
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
All I can see is a red slowly trickling across the bathroom floor. I fell to my knees and took her hand. I could hear Ray on the phone in the background, but I can only focus on Liz. This is all my fault.
If you thought Id leave then you were wrong
Cuz I wont stop holding on.
This is an emergency
So are you listening?
A pair of EMTs shoved me aside and put her on a stretcher to take her off. Ones asking Ray about family, whos looking after her. he tells him she lives with him, because her parents are often out of town. How can he be so calm?
If I didnt tell her those things, if I didnt shout at her, would she be like this now?
And I cant pretend that I dont see this
its really not your fault
That no-one cares to talk about it,
Talk about it
-Please.- I begged. -Its my fault. I have to go with her.-
-Im sorry sir, we can only allow direct family to ride in the ambulance.- The EMT said sternly.
Ray put a hand on my shoulder. -Come on Gee, well follow in my car.-
-But- -
-you cant go with her. well follow in my car.-
Still, all I can see is the red on the bathroom tiles.
Cuz Ive seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
Ive seem you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive, alive.
Hours later were sitting outside her room, seeing as theyre trying to contact her parents to prove that we know her or something. They got the knife out, and fixed her lung, I guess. But she still lost a lot of blood. Thank God she missed the heart.
What heart? I thought bitterly. You broke it.
So give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
Finally a doctor came over to us. -Im afraid I have some bad news. She lost too much blood. Shes not going to make it.-
This is all my fault.
and you do your best to show me love
But you dont know what love is
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
Well I cant pretend that I dont see this
-Can we say goodbye?- Ray asked.
The doctor nodded and we almost ran past him and into the room. she looked so pale. Biting my lip I dropped down into the chair next to her. -Im so sorry.- I whispered. -I shouldnt have told you about what she told everyone.-
Her eyes opened. -Thank you.-
Its really not your fault
That no-one cares to talk about it
Talk about it.
-For what?- I asked.
-For telling me the truth.- She said with a half smile. -If you didnt tell me, I wouldve gone around without knowing that they were all laughing at me.-
-They say you arent going to make it.-
-I know.-
Cuz Ive seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
Ive seem you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive, alive.
-Why did you do it, Liz?- Ray sighed. -How could you do it to yourself?-
-Because its just not worth it.- She said quietly. -No-one loves me.-
-We love you!- Ray protested.
-No-one wants me.-
-I want you.- I whispered. They both looked at me. I bit my lip. -I do.-
Ray shook his head. -Bit too late to tell her that, man.-
-Leave him alone.- Liz said, taking my hand. -I want you too Gerard.-
These scars, they will not fade away
No one cares to talk about it, talk about it.
-Im so sorry.- I said. -I wish- -
-Shhhh.- She whispered. -I want to spend the last amount of time I have with the two guys I love most, one romantically and one sisterly.-
Ray sat on her other side and took her hand. We stayed like that for the next hour, until the individual beeps turned into one.
Cuz Ive seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
Ive seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive, alive.
