Love pull your sore ribs in. And I will pull your tangles out.

I was at my aunt and uncle's house the other day. My cousin, she's about 18 months older than me. And normally, we're pretty close, we both talk a lot, about pretty much everything that comes into our heads. I say normally. A couple of weeks ago she went to some party at a mate's house. Her parents got a phone call about 11 to say that she'd collapsed and been taken to hospital. She wouldn't say what happened to her, but the people at the hospital say she had a massive reaction to some kind of drug.
So, she was in hospital for two weeks. And now she's seeing a psychiatrist, because she's suffered some kind of "mental trauma". This is my cousin, who I think of as the closest thing I have to a sister. Like I said, we saw her the other day. She just sat in the corner of the room and looked really scared. Like, she couldn't stay in the room if her parents weren't there. And she couldn't concentrate on anyone talking, she just sat there looking blank.
No-one knows exactly what happened, cause she won't talk about it, and all of her "friends" deny that they were there.
It totally freaked me out (as you may have guessed). I suppose the thing is, you hear in Citizenship about all the side effects of drugs, but it's someone I'm close to, and it's painful seeing her like this. I remember us being little kids, and playing football in her street. So how do we get from that to this?

Honey, you don't have to go nowhere. Honey, you don't have to go nowhere. ‘Cause there's people out there screaming, they linger in the air. But you don't have to go nowhere.
