Thanks Everypony!
It's been about two weeks after Spike's attempt at suicide. And thanks to the gossip of Rarity, over half the population of Ponyville knew about it. How the news spread through town started as so. Rarity and Fluttershy went to the spa as the usually did with their weekly pastime. While in the hot tub, Rarity overheard Aloe telling Lotus the latest gossip about Lyra and Bon Bon's little mischievous act with Berry Punch. Apparently, Lyra had "borrowed" a bottle of wine from Berry Punch's house. When Berry Punch came to their house to retrieve her missing bottle that night, she was taken in, blindfolded, gagged and bound by ropes. The rest was self-explanatory. Rarity found this news rather dark as well as interesting. Wanting to take part in the gossip, Rarity confessed the recent events in the life of a certain purple and green baby dragon.
"He did what?!" Aloe screamed.
"Yes it's true. He did try to kill himself. We found his body near death on the library floor." Rarity replied. Those words peaked the interest of Aloe, her sister and everypony under the sound of Rarity's voice. All eyes became fixated on Rarity and Fluttershy. Fluttershy covered her face in her mane attempting not only to remain out of the conversation, but to throw some of the attention off of her.The thought of Spike almost dying still made her shudder.
"Why did he do this?" Lotus asked. She poured in some bath salts as he asked.
"He said that it was because he felt that we no longer had any respect for him and that we didn't want him anymore." Rarity answered. Aloe and Lotus were stunned. The sweet baby dragon they have seen in their spa before tried to end his own life. They haven't seen him much before, but when they did see him he looked so happy. It never for a second seemed that he would do this.
"Is he still alive?" One of the mare getting a massage asked. Rarity looked over to the mare and smiled.
"Yes. He's recovering quite well in the hospital. He visit him every now and again, just to show him the he truly is loved." Rarity said. She placed a hoof against her heart as she spoke. Her eyes teared up slightly.
Everypony in the room stared at Rarity without saying a word. Rarity didn't move a single muscle even an inch. She was thinking back at all the good times she had with the little baby dragon that she grew to know and maybe even....love.
"Rarity. I think it's time for us to go." Fluttershy said attempting to leave the saddened room.
"Yes. It is time to go. We enjoy the conversation. Hope to continue another time." Rarity said. As Rarity and Fluttershy exited, they paid there fees and began a new conversation. One about why Rarity told the Spa ponies about Spike's suicide attempt. Rarity explained that it was all part of a plan to show Spike how wrong he was about no pony caring for him.
Inside the spa, Aloe and Lotus looked at each other. They knew Spike very well. And the thought of the same happy, loving baby dragon they know committing suicide. It was heart-wrenching. They had a plan to bring his spirits up.
Inside the hospital, Spike laying in his hospital bed humming to himself to pass the time. Things in the hospital are usually boring, if you're one of the patients. The doctors are constantly busy with patients and are always on the move. Spike hummed the tune to one of Pinkie Pie's songs to seemingly no one and he did it with a sort of half smile on his face. He began to sing some of the song to himself.
"Come on everypony~ Smile, Smile Smile! Fill my heart up with sunshine sunshine. I really need's a smile, smile, smile from these happy friends of mi~ne." He sang. A nurse poked her head in the door.
"Spike?" Nurse Redheart called.
"Yes?" Spike replied.
"You have visitors." She replied. Spike tilted his head in confusion. He hasn't had any visitors since the girls last visited. Aloe and Lotus Blossom, the spa twins walked in. Spike had a look of both confusion and joy.
"Hey Aloe and Lotus. I wasn't expecting you ladies. What brings you two here?" He asked. Lotus revealed a bouquet of flowers for the young dragon. A confused look appeared on his face.
"What are these for?" Spike asked.
"It's because we heard about your recent suicide attempt. And we heard that is was because you felt unloved." Aloe started.
"But we're hear to tell you that you are loved. Not just by miss Twilight and her friends, but by us and many others." Lotus finished. Spike smiled and sat up.
Thanks ladies. I'll keep that in mind for the future. Thanks for the flowers." He said. Both Aloe and Lotus both leaned down and kissed Spike's cheek. The baby dragon blushed a bright pink. The only other time a mare ever kissed him was a few weeks before his birthday, when he gave Rarity a fire ruby and she gave him a kiss.
"We love you and care for you young Spike." Both ponies said in unison. Aloe and Lotus then turned around and walked out the door. Spike sank back in his hospital bed, blush turning from light pink to deep red. He placed his hands on his cheeks. A smile slowly crept on his face. Maybe he wasn't as hated as he thought. The spa twins sure seemed to care, and the were no exception. Spike made a happy sigh and removed his hands from his cheeks. He looked down at the bandaged wound on his right wrist.
"I guess that...wasn't....really.....needed." He said.
Not one minute after that sentence, there was a knock on the door. Spike looked up and say Lyra and Bon Bon walked in. Spike knew these two mares very well. Bon Bon, who is also called Sweetie Drops, runs the candy shop and Lyra, whose special talent is playing a lyre using her unicorn magic. Spike waved his arm with the bandaged wrist. Lyra showed a sad look on her face.
"It's true. He really did try." She said. A tear formed in her eye. Spike saw the tear and motioned the two mares to come in. Bon Bon came in and placed a box of candy from the shop on his lap. The box was a big heart shape. The same type you'd expect some stallion to give his special somepony on Hearts and Hooves Day. There was a card taped to the box. Spike carefully ripped the tape off and opened the card. He read it out loud.
"We heard rumors that you tried to die because you felt unloved. This is just one way of showing you that I care for you. Everypony that ever spent anytime with you is happier for it. We love you Spike. -Lyra ans Bon Bon." Spike looked up and was met with two bright smiles. Spike was on the verge of tears. Not the type of tears you cry when something tragic happens, but the happy tears when something amazing happens in your life.
"Thanks Ladies."
"You're welcome Spikey." They said in unison. They then left the room. Spike looked down at the box of candy in his lap. A tear fell from his face and landed on the box.
He was crying. Not because he was sad or happy, but because he felt so guilty and selfish. If everypony knows about his suicide attempt and came to him with so much love and support, he must have been loved by everypony. Then, Spike's head jerked up quickly. Wait. How did everypony even learn that him attempted suicide. The only ponies that knew were Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and.....Twilight. Spike knew that Twilight couldn't keep a secret. For a moment he wanted to be mad at her, bu then he thought that if she hadn't told anypony else he never would have learned how loved he is. He smiled.
"Twilight always knows exactly what to do." Spike said. He laid his head down on the hospital bed, closed his eye and began to drift to asleep. Little did he know that the true pony behind the knowledge of his suicide rumor floating around was about to walk into the door. Instead of waking him up, Rarity walked next to Spike, leaned down and kissed him on the forehead.
"Sweet dreams my beloved prince." She said softly. She then left the room and trotted back home.
The End

That's it?
Noooooo
I WANT MORE
Oh snap! I did not notice an update! I'm sorry!
Well, it's a happy ending, so thank you for that!
This turned out to be a major disappointment.
Ehh... This was good at first, but it really needed to slow down. Everything happened way too quickly, it feels like the plot is on fast forward.
Eww

Love is extense, if it is used it is implying that the feelings go beyond a limit.
6858190
What are you implying sir?
6858575
Rarity could've used the word 'cared', but instead, she used a stronger word of affection: 'loved', which brings up a possibility of an affection towards Spike beyond the affection of a friend and helper, on part of Rarity.
6859190
I know this. Are you trying to make a point?
6861112
Rarity feels something special for Spike.
6861452
I know. That's why I said eww.
Now this was a great concept for a story and the story itself was good too. Other than spelling errors, it was really good.
6864894 Knock it off. There are tons of fanfics like this. If you don't like it why the hell are you reading.

2 reasons:
I am a Brony and like ponies and Spike.
I also have the right to read whatever I like.
Now, I never said the story was bad. If you do see that comment from me, please let me know and i will correct myself. But, I'm sure that won't be necessary
Just saying is the story over and on chapter 3 it said he went home?
8016695 The story's done. It was meant to have a sequel, but that fell into the abyss
8018822 can i make a sequel
8018833 sure.
8018902 thanks so much
8018930 No problem. Just tag this story as the prequel.
8021411 got it have a plan
Although it seems rushed, at the point to where Spike decides to attempt his self-mutilation the fic is well written, I honestly expected it to be slightly longer. Although I'm no professional, this fic has lots of potential and could be more if you just made some edits. I still liked the story, I just wanted to get my personal opinion out there. Didn't mean to insult you or harm your hard work.
Grammar alert
"Yes. He's recovering quite well in the hospital. We visit him every now and again, just to show him the he truly is loved." Rarity said. She placed a hoof against her heart as she spoke. Her eyes teared up slightly.
SPARITY!!!!

Derpy comes in with a basket of muffins
'You are like muffins. Every pony loves muffins. And a world without muffins is a sad world'
I wonder how would the Royal Sisters react to about Spike's suicide attempt?
Like Luna realizing she allowed a nightmare to slip past her and ended up doing some damage to Spike there like that.
