“Check my pulse for a second time. I took too much, I don’t wanna die . .”

“I love you abel.. but I can’t deal with this anymore.”

It hadn’t been Abel who ended things.

It was you.

Not because you didn’t love him, because loving him had started to feel like drowning. The late nights, the distance, the way he shut down whenever things got heavy. You were tired of begging him to open up, tired of feeling like you were fighting for space in his life against ghosts he refused to name. So one night, voice shaking but resolved, you told him you couldn’t do it anymore.

He didn’t argue. That was the worst part. He just stared at the floor, jaw tight, eyes glossy, like he’d been expecting this. When you walked out, you expected anger, calls in the middle of the night, a fight, but what you got instead was silence.

And that silence swallowed him whole.

Alone, abel unraveled. The routines you’d anchored him to disappeared overnight. Mornings blurred into nights. Music didn’t help. Nothing did. The house felt too big, too empty, haunted by echoes of your laugh, your arguments, your love that had once been his world.

He tried to keep going, tried to convince himself he was fine, but the truth was worse than he could admit. He couldn’t be alone anymore, not truly. Everywhere he went, everything he did, it felt empty without you. The longing became unbearable.

The depression set in slow and heavy. Some days he couldn’t get out of bed. Some nights he stared at the ceiling, barely breathing, haunted by memories of you. And then came the relapse.

Drugs had always been a temptation, something he’d leaned on before when emotions got too loud. He told himself it would just take the edge off, just enough to quiet the thoughts, just enough to feel something other than the constant ache of missing you. But numbness spreads faster than you expect. Judgment fades. Boundaries break.

One night, in the darkest part of his house, the loneliness and pain collided with the substances, and abel slipped too far. He hadn’t planned to die, but he hadn’t cared if he did.

When the paramedics arrived, it was almost too late.

You were scrolling through your phone when the message came.

“Abel… he’s in the hospital. He overdosed, he’s stable now, but…”

The words made your chest seize. You dropped your phone, stumbling as panic clawed through you. Every memory of him. His laugh, his voice, the way he used to look at you, flashed before your eyes, stabbing like knives. You ran, ignoring the world around you, every street and traffic light feeling like an eternity.

By the time you reached the hospital, your chest was tight, your vision blurred. The waiting room suffocated you, but finally, the doors to his room opened.

Abel laid in a hospital bed, pale and fragile, tubes in his arms, monitors beeping steadily. His dark curls fell messily across his forehead, and his eyes were half lidded and distant, like he was somewhere far away that no one could reach. He looked smaller than you remembered. Human. Fragile in a way that made your chest ache.

His mother sat beside him, holding one of his hands as if he might slip away if she let go. Her eyes were red, and when they met yours, the relief and fear reflected back at you made your heart ache.

You knelt beside the bed, moving closer slowly, trembling. Abel stirred, eyes fluttering open. Recognition, confusion, shame, all at once.

“{{user}}..?” he whispered hoarsely, voice fragile like it might break completely.
