Joan nodded and looked away from Eddie. "I'll be back" Standing from her desk she grabbed her phone and walked silently out of the class room, hanging her head down. She made her way through the student filled halls, all strangely silent as the kids passed her. She pushed open the door to the restroom and entered the large handicap stall. She pulled out her cellphone and texted Eddie. I can't do this anymore From her pocket she pulled out two pill bottles stuffed with cotton. Without thinking she downed the bottle of pain killers, possibly fifteen in all, and a second bottle of aspirin, six pills at the most.

Ten minutes later, the crowd in the halls had dulled down, and the kids seemed to buzz by her in a slow motion fade. Feeling on the walls she made her way back towards the theater room. She made it to the door and spotted Eddie still at his desk. Her heart began beating wildly like a drum before she felt a sharp pain. Before she knew it blood was coming from her mouth. "Eddie..." She managed to get out quietly before she blacked out and hit the ground.
