	How To Save A Life

**A/N: LISTEN TO THE FRAY "HOW TO SAVE A LIFE" WHILE READING.**

There are a lot of things I didn't know.

There are a lot of things I _don't_ know.

Sometimes I can't help but think…if I _had_ known…

…if I had known how to save a life.

"I want to- I need to talk. Do you have a minute?" she said, looking at me hopefully.

Couldn't she see I was busy?

She begged.

"Please."

"I'm busy, maybe later."

She walks away, looking upset.

I don't notice. I'm too _busy._

Later, she slams the door on her way out.

"Have you noticed anything a bit… off about her?"

"I don't know."

There was blood.

So much blood.

How was I supposed to know?

How was anyone supposed to know?

I see her face, the face I had looked into so many times.

I had seen this face do so many things.

Laugh.

Cry.

This was new, though.

I had never seen this on any face.

Heart-crushing depression.

Hopelessness.

Nothing could help this face.

I ran my hand over her cheek.

Nothing.

The tears ran faster than the blood.

There wasn't a dry eye in the room.

And that was saying something, considering the family standing against the walls, hands shoved in pockets, walls up behind their eyes.

Someone feebly cracks a joke.

No one laughs.

There are a lot of doctors.

They are saying a lot of things.

A lot of things I don't want to hear.

Who cares, really?

A room full of people in black clothes.

It's my turn to talk.

I stand.

I am at thepodium.

I open my mouth-

And cry.

_Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend_

_Somewhere along in the bitterness_

_And I would have stayed up with you all night_

_Had I known how to save a life_

**A/N: Please review. It would mean everything to me.**
