Billy snapped into action. He ran inside and was hit by a strong smell. It was the smell of vomit and feces. Elijah was on the floor. Billy ran over to him and tipped his head sideways. Vomit flowed out. Billy closed his eyes and stuck his finger in Elijah's mouth and scooped out the rest of the vomit.

Outside Janna dialed 911. She told them that her friend was not breathing and that she thought he had taken lots of pills to please hurry. Janna looked at Crystal who was very white and shaking.

"I've killed him. I'm a murderer." Crystal said under her breath. She broke into a run and ran inside the house. She got inside and Billy was pulling vomit out of Elijah's mouth. "Oh, my god. Move I know CPR." She shoved Billy out of the way.

"Oh ok good. I was wondering if anyone did, because I don't. Where did you learn CPR?" Billy was babbling nervously.

"Billy shut up. When I tell you to push hard right here with both hands." Crystal snapped. Crystal tilted his head back, and made one more check with her finger to make sure no vomit was left. She leaned down and breathed into his mouth deeply. "Ok Billy push when I count. Push one. Push two. Push three. Push four. Push five." Crystal waited for him to breathe. "Come on. Damn it Elijah breathe." She repeated the breathing. Billy repeated the pushing. Dom watched helplessly. Crystal put her mouth on Elijah's again. Elijah breathed in as she blew out. He coughed. "YES!"

"Crystal? My head_hurts_." Elijah tried to sit up. Billy pushed him back down.

"No you lay there. Ambulance is coming." Billy said. "You owe me big. I scooped your vomit."

"Yeah, I'll buy dinner or something." Elijah coughed again. "Gonna puke." Crystal turned his head and held it while he threw up. There was more puking noise and Crystal looked at Dom who was also puking.

"Dom!" Billy said. "Gross."

"Sorry, I'm going outside." Dom said weakly.

"Elijah, you tried to kill yourself. They're going to take your shoelaces!" Billy said trying to lighten the mood.

"I'm not wearing shoes." Elijah said.

"Good point." Billy said.

"Billy, can you grab clean sweat pants. Elijah messed his other pants." Crystal said.

"Sure." But the ambulance arrived before Billy could do anything. The ambulance drove Elijah to the hospital, where they pumped his stomach. Crystal rode with Billy to the hospital. They didn't get to see him for awhile. When they saw him, he looked worse then when he was laying on the floor not breathing. His face was ashen, and his voice was course.

"I'm sorry." Elijah croaked as the dry heaves overtook him again. When he finished gagging he looked at Crystal. "I'm sorry."

"I know." Crystal said and sat down.

"I didn't sleep with Liv after you left me, Crystal." Elijah said softly.

"Oh, time for me to get a sandwich." Billy left the room.

"You didn't? Why didn't you tell me?" Crystal looked at him.

"Because I was stoned, I wasn't thinking. I wanted to get you back for being with Billy." Elijah whispered the last part; "It hurt me that you called him."

"I didn't know what else to do. You've become so distant. I didn't know about the," Her voice faltered, "about the drugs."

"I thought I could handle them. I thought I could control them." Elijah quickly wiped a tear off his face. "I guess I couldn't."

"You need help Elijah." Crystal was torn. She loved Elijah, but there was something, a feeling for Billy.

"I know. I am going to check myself into a rehab. I never want to touch drugs, any kind, again."

"Really? That's good." Crystal hoped he meant what he said.

"When I get better will you give me another chance? I do love you Crystal." Elijah said and looked her in the eyes. For the first time in a long time Crystal felt like this was the Elijah she met the first day he spoke to her.

"I don't know. It's not that easy." Crystal said and touched her face where a faint bruise from him hitting her still shown. Before she could say anything else the door to Elijah's room opened and Dom and Janna walked in.

"Hey Elwood, how are you feeling?" Dom asked.

"I'm all right, I guess." Elijah couldn't believe that his friends were here even though he had made a fool of himself and treated them like shit. The door opened and Sean walked in followed by Orlando.

"Hey Elijah. How are you doing?" Sean asked.

"I'm ok." Elijah was still hoarse.

"We told the press you had a car accident." Sean explained.

"You did?" Elijah was shocked. He thought that surely they would tell. "I know this sounds cheesy but you guys are the best!"

"Yup, cheesy. Like Swiss." Billy had reentered the room.
