Spent the last 6 hours talking my nephew down from suicide. Needless to say, I'm not going to work today.

I'm coming over.

[breakablehearts]

Mark, you need to trust that I can take care of him. He flipped his shit when I said I was going to call you. He's okay. They've got him medicated. Okay?

[aussielawyer]

He's my son. You can't fucking keep me away. Why aren't you answering your fucking phone?

[breakablehearts]

Nathan told me to turn it off. You really think I'm keeping you from your son? For fuck's sake. Come. Whatever. I'm obviously not good enough to take care of him.

[aussielawyer]

Six hours. Why the fuck did it take you six hours to get help?!

[breakablehearts]

You wanted me to take my attention off him to do that when he was screaming at me not to? Right.

[aussielawyer]

What happened?

[breakablehearts]

He was at the theatre. But right before the curtain went up, he disappeared. Jeff went on for him. They looked around, couldn't find him. We knew he was staying at my place, but he didn't tell me what time to get him like he usually does, so I was calling him to leave a message to tell him to text me when he wanted me to pick him up. Lewis heard his phone ringing in his dressing room, so he had left it. He picked it up, and told me they couldn't find Justin anywhere. I went straight over, and by the time I got there, someone was screaming that Justin was up on the roof. So, I went up. He was standing on the ledge looking over, and as soon as I said his name, he lost it.

[aussielawyer]

He was standing on a fucking ledge for six hours?

[breakablehearts]

No, he came down off the ledge to grab my phone and throw it across the roof. He didn't damage it, but I didn't have it on me until later. He thought he I was going to call you. That's why Nate told me to turn it off once we got him to the hospital. He said he was going to call you.

[aussielawyer]

What was he saying? Did he give you any fucking idea what triggered him?

[breakablehearts]

Does he always need a trigger?

[aussielawyer]

I don't fucking know anymore. Why didn't he want me there?

[breakablehearts]

I have a couple theories. They're going to hurt you to hear, though.

[aussielawyer]

Tell me.

[breakablehearts]

He doesn't want you to see him dead, and he doesn't want to give you another heart attack. There's no ability for him to rationalist when he's at his worst.

[aussielawyer]

Fucking hell. I need to be there if my kid is sick! I'm coming.

[breakablehearts]

Okay, okay. I'll meet you out the front of the hospital.
