It had been a few hours since my attempted suicide. We were still in the same position we'd fallen in. The remains of the noose around my neck and above us were a harrowing reminder to Rainbow on what nearly happened to me. And a solemn reminder to me what I could have caused. Of what I almost did. "Oh dear sweet Celestia!" Rainbowdash shouted in realization throwing herself away from me. "I'm so sorry! I-I shouldn't have done that!" She apologized looking down. "I-I took advantage of you." she said not looking at me. "Oh no you didn't you silly filly." I sighed and pulled her back to my side while rolling my eyes. "If anything I'm the one who took advantage of you." That seemed to calm her down. "Do you want to talk about it?" Rainbowdash asked a few minutes later. I my hair stand on end while my mane simultaneously wilted. "I guess..." I whispered. "You don't have you know." Rainbowdash replied comfortingly. Though I was pretty sure that she was just trying to keep me calm and placated. 'I don't need that. I need this.' I thought my mind already made up. "No. You need to know." I sighed grabbing the letter from P.I.E. off the end table a few feet away. "Here read this." I said handing Rainbowdash my letter. "Erm... I can't read Brail." Rainbowdash stated causing me to face hoof. "Right sorry." I quickly replied taking the letter back. "Ahem. It's basically a progress report from P.I.E." I summarized. "Mostly an informal letter about how everything is going with our current prototype." I stated running my hoof over the letter. "Erm why is it in Brail?" Rainbowdash asked quickly before I could continue. "Oh... Erm... So no pony can read it if an industrial spy gets their hooves on it!" I lied quickly. I hated lying to my new Marefriend (was she? I'd like to think so, especially with that amazing kiss just now. But I guess that was really something we'd have to talk about later.), but I didn't want her to know the real reason it was in Brail. "And well... the rest of it is well... it's a-..." I stuttered trying desperately to get the words out. But each word felt like a knife into my heart. "Hey... I already told you, you don't have to tell me." She whispered. kissing me on the cheek hesitantly. I guess I wasn't the only one nervous about our budding relationship. "I-I w-want to..." I stuttered trying to bite back my tears. "Then you can... But maybe later..." She said gently taking away the letter. "Besides we need to tell Twilight what happened... and take you to the hospital again. I had to use lightning clouds to bring you back. Who knows what they did to your heart." She explained. "Do we have to? Twilight is probably going to kill me!" I whined. "Yes we do." Rainbowdash laughed. "Rainbow? You'll stay with me right? You won't ever leave me?" I asked softly. "I know that you'll need to go exercise... But you won't leave me right?" I asked brokenly. "No Pinkie. I won't ever leave you. Not now not ever." She replied hugging me. "Come on now. Let's go get you to Twilight." "'k" I whispered acceptingly. "No need I'm already here and I heard everything." Twilight stated flying in through my window. "And I'm not going to lie Pinkie. I'm very disappointed in you." She stated fixing me with a hard glare.
