I can't feel this another night... Who: Maddy & Neil When: Early morning Where: Maddy's House/Hospital What: Neil finds Maddy unconcious on the kitchen floor.
Maddy had spent the night tossing a turning. Nothing would help her sleep. At about 5:30 she had had it and wnet down to the kitchen to take some valium. She had no intention of going to school and figured she could call Caleb around 6 am and tell him so he didn't worry.
She was a little woozy. She had taken quite a few percoset over the night, trying to ease her headache and get some sleep. Hazy eyed, she grabbed her bottle of valium from the cabinet and a bottle of water from the fridge. She opened the bottle and took three valium. It was more than she should take, but she wasn't in her right mind, so sleep deprived and emotionally distressed from the night before.
She drank a few gulps of water, the world around her growing fuzzy. Maddy blinked several times to try and clear her vision. Her head began to swim and she swayed where she stood. Dark spot came into her vision then and she lost her balance, falling on her back on the floor. All she saw was the ceiling as darkness began to overtake her, She felt numb and light and felt no pain. Her eyes slid closed and her breathing slowed as she slid into unconciousness. Her last thoughts were of her mother. Claire's smile and safe arms...
