Ducktales 17 Darkwing Headcanon idea 7: Gosalyn tries to commit suicide
GOSALYN SUICIDE
It was another day at the orphanage but something about today was different.
Webby and the others came to visit Gosalyn, they went to the front desk.
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
"Excuse is gosalyn here" webby asked.
"Why yes, she's in her" the nurse pointed out.
The main reason why webby is visiting is because Lena had been mean to gosalyn and webby found out just three days ago.
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
"Ok when we get inside, Lena you better have a sincere apology for gosalyn" webby said.
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
"Ugh do I have to" Lena rolled her eyes.
But when they got inside her room, they saw something horrible.
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
"Hey gosalyn, we thought we could come here so Lena could apologize" when she didn't answer webby looked around,
"Gosalyn-GOSALYN!" She gasped in horror when she saw her laying on her bed dead, her left arm hung on her chest and her right falling on the bed holding a bottle of pills spilling on the floor.
Be my friend, hold me
Wrap me up, enfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up and breathe me
Webby horrified ran to her taking her hand trying to feel a pulse.
"Oh my gosalyn, gosalyn can you hear me" and when she didn't respond.
"We need to get her to doctor"
The ambulance was called and she was strapped on a stretcher and rushed off to the hospital.
Meanwhile webby came home in a panic.
"GRANNY WHERE'S LOUIE, LOUIE HELP THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH GOSALYN"
everyone quickly stopped and Louie rushed downstairs in his doctors coat.
A few days later, the mcduck's had let gosalyn stayed with them until they could find the source of her problem.
She was asleep in the boy's room, in Louie's bed.
Everyone waited for Louie to come back with results.
"Ok it's nothing serious, she just overdosed herself with pills that she shouldn't have taken, do you know why she took these pills webby"
"No"
"Webby I have to know why Gosalyn overdose herself, you know some people who overdosed themselves is by suicide"
"I don't understand"
"What are saying Louie, that Gosalyn is hurting herself" Huey asked.
"Yes but it's most likely that she's committing suicide"
Everyone in the gasped.
"And suicide is caused by depression, so you know of any reason why Gosalyn would want to hurt herself" Louie asked.
"Not that I can think of"
"I Can think of one" may said as she glares at Lena.
"I think I know what happened" everyone turned to see it was Launchpad.
"It happened a month ago, drake was dropping off Gosalyn when"
Flashback to a month ago
"You ready to go home now" drake asked.
Gosalyn looked up at the building, her heart beating fast with fear.
"No, I can't go back"
"I'm sorry Gosalyn but you know I can keep you with me"
"Don't you think maybe you could consider me part of your family"
"She was hoping that drake would adopt her but, he just laughed" Launchpad said.
"Look sorry but I'm not parent material and I'm just not ready to have kids yet"
"Darkwing please I can't stay another night alone, plus your the only guy I know that can look after me"
"Oh I see, you think I'm some kind of joke"
"What no I-"
"You think I'm something to take advantage of"
"Darkwing that's not what I'm-"
"You I'm starting to think that having you got a partner was a bad idea"
"And that's when it hurt Gosalyn" Launchpad said.
"I think it's best if we went out separate ways"
"Darkwing please"
"I'm not responsible for you no go, I have better things to deal with then a rotten egg"
After she got off and he drove off, she started to cry, ending the flashback.
"So that's why Gosalyn is hurting herself" Louie says.
"She thinks she's not good enough to live" dewy says.
"She's doing it because of Darkwing, ugh what's wrong with him, can't he see that she sees him as a dad and that she wants him to adopt her, ugh my-" webby yells.
"Ok look Gosalyn is still hurt and sick, so we need to help her get better, webby I need you and the girls help Gosalyn get better" Louie said.
"And I'll go get drake" Launchpad said.
"NO" everyone yelled.
He turns looking puzzled then Louie approach him.
"Launchpad you can't tell drake, it'll only make things worse as it already is, I don't Gosalyn would want to see him, you have to promise not to tell drake"
"Oh ok I won't tell, but I'm only doing this for Gosalyn"
The next day Gosalyn woke up but was attempt to commit suicide again.
Webby walks in the room, to see Gosalyn awake, confused and terrified.
"Where am I?" She gasped.
"Oh good Gosalyn, you're finally awake good, we were so worried, look Launchpad told us everything and Lena says she's sorry, she didn't know"
"You...saved me" Gosalyn asked.
"Yes" webby answered.
"Why would you do that" Gosalyn screamed, "I wanted to die"
"Gosalyn please your not well"
Then Gosalyn got up panicking.
"I DON'T WANNA LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE NOBODY WANTS ME"
"Gosalyn please come down, granny, look we care about you"
"Webby I just want to be with my grandfather right now if he's dead"
Ms. Beakley came in when gosalyn limbed on the window.
"GOSALYN WHAT ARE YOU DOING" webby panicked.
"I just want to end my life, goodbye webby" Gosalyn whispered.
"WHAO WHAT" Lena said.
"Young lady I know your hurt but you're not well, please get down from the window, you don't need to be doing this"
"Tell drake I'm sorry"
She then fell off the window.
"GOSALYN" everyone yelled but when they looked out the window, they saw that someone caught her hand.
It was drake,"Gosalyn hang on" drake tells her but felt her hand slipping.
"Whoa" he nearly slipped when Launchpad grabbed his waist and they pulled her in the room.
When she looked up, she was surprised to see drake helping her up and looking at her.
"Are You ok" he asked.
Instead of happy to see him, she just burst in tears and pushed him away.
""LET ME GO, NO I WANTED TO DIE"
"Gosalyn wait" drake tried to calm her down but she ran into the hallway and bumped into Launchpad.
They look up at each other then when she heard drake running towards them, she buried her face in Launchpad's chest, he wrapped his arms around her.
"Gosalyn i"
"Stay away from me!, you're the last person I ever want to see right now"
Those words hurt him as she ran from both of them.
"Who am I kidding, I was a idiot thinking that I could help her"
Throughout the whole, it's been bugging him, gosalyn was getting the help she need.
She stopped trying to kill herself, although her attempts her close to a near death sentence such as drowning, hanging, stabbing, shooting and poisoning herself, she finally stopped.
She was laying on the couch, depressed form everything.
Drake was in the other room, he saw how upset she was and decided it was best if he left her be.
He stared at his own reflection in a cup of tea, when Della sat beside him to give him a parent to parent talk.
"You need to talk to her" Della said.
"I can't, she doesn't want to talk to me anymore" drake said.
"But you have to fix this"
"Look don't you get it, I hurt her enough already, I didn't want to hurt I was so afraid of becoming a parent that I might ruin her and now it's too late, everyone was right about me, I'm now hero I'm just a clown in a mask, all I need now is the shoes and a rubber nose"
"But don't you see you are a hero and she needs you even when she won't admit it"
And that right there Drake knew he had to save her.
"But how do I make it up to-"
But then looks at the window and sees this most beautiful purple-red orchid in the tree that he's ever seen.
He climbs on the window still, grabs the flower, has a fight with the tree and when he pulls it off.
It nearly made him fall feet away from the ground, "whoa", he then jumps back inside.
He goes in the living room,feeling a bit nervous to approach Gosalyn, then he sucks it in as he walks besides her.
When she saw him, she avoided making eye contact with him.
"Gosalyn I know you hate me and you have every right to be" he sits down on the couch, besides her, "but please listen to what I have to say, I'm so sorry about everything and I wish- if there was a way for me to make it up to you I could-"
He places the flower in her hair but then she burst again.
"DON'T YOU GET IT, YOU CAN'T FIX THIS, NOW LEAVE ME ALONE" she yelled.
She turned to the other side of the couch to avoid him, the flower fell from her hair.
He catches the flower in his two palms then looks back at gosalyn when he hears her crying.
Feeling guilty, looks back at the small fragile flower in his hands.
The flower represent Gosalyn, it reminded him that he was holding her in his hands, he rubbed its petals like he was rubbing gosalyn's cheeks,
seeing how fragile and innocent it was being held by a monster like him.
He had to think of another way to open to her, then he thought an idea.
He starts to sing baby of mine, "Baby girl, don't you cry Baby blue, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part, baby of mine"
She opens her eyes, realizing he was singing.
"Little one when you play, Don't you mind what you say, Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine"
He takes the flower, "If they knew sweet little you They'd end up loving you too" then he brushes a part of her hair and slides the flower back in, when she looks back at him.
"All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for The right to hold you
From your head to your toes You're not much, goodness knows But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine"
He smiles at her but she gets up, pushes the flower off and runs away from drake as he reaches out to hug her.
Later that same evening, it started to rain, drake looked outside to see Gosalyn sitting on a bench underneath a tree.
He looks down at the flower Ah and he geos out to try to talk to her again.
In the rain, gosalyn starts to get soak and wet from the rain, even with her hoodie on.
As the rain poured hard on her, she stay alone quiet with her thoughts, a sad smile still pasted on her face.
She then looks down at her hands, she pulls her sleeves down to her wrist to see the cuts.
It reminded her of her first attempt to commit suicide.
A flashback plays of gosalyn crying on her bed, after the fight with drake, she realized that drake hates her and she didn't wanted to live a life with no family, so she wipes away her tears, finds a small razor and slowly starts pressing it on her wrist and before she could even cut herself.
She takes a deep breath, thinks about what she's doing, her heart racing fast.
Then as she starts cutting, she was brought back to reality.
"ahem"
She was startled when she saw drake, walking next to her with an umbrella, he smiled at her but she just faced the other way from him.
He then takes a sit as soon as the rain stoped, he drops the umbrella, still nervous about talking to her.
"Louie says your covering really quickly, that's good to hear isn't it" drake joked, hoping it would lighten the mood but instead only keep her away from him.
"Gosalyn I know I'm the last person you want to see but you need to know I was worried about you, I'm so sorry about everything, I never meant to hurt you, I hope you can forgive me"
She still avoided him...but then.
"You know people asked me what was the best thing that ever happened to me, you know what told them" he asked her.
"There were two things, becoming Darkwing duck" he says, " and meeting you"
She was surprised to hear him saw that then he places his hands underneath her chin, and lifting her beak to face him.
"You were the best ever happened to me, I'm proud to have you as my daughter" he rubbed circles around her cheek, then he cupped both her cheeks in his palms.
"But I'm not your daughter" she said.
"Yes...you..are, gosalyn I was a idiot thinking that I didn't need you but I was wrong about everything, I love you"
Those three words broke her, as tears began to fell down her cheeks.
As she cried in his hands, drake used his thumbs to wipe her tears away.
Then places the flower back in her head, she looks at it and touches it gently.
"You must think I'm crazy for trying to kill myself" she asked.
"What?, no no no, you were just in pain and I am lucky to have a daughter like you in my life"
And just like that the bond that had been broke was mended by unconditional love.
He lets go of her and they hugged, she continues to cry.
The next day, gosalyn was feeling better and drake had finally adopted her with no regrets.
She sat in his car, when he packed her things.
In the front seat, she saw drake and Launchpad kissing goodbye.
"Well goodbye Launchpad" drake said.
"Goodbye babe" Launchpad says.
Meanwhile Gosalyn saw webby and lean approaching.
"Thank you for everything webby and Lena I forgive you"
Both girls smiled and when drake gets in the car, the two looked at each other.
"You ready to go home" drake asked her.
"Whenever you are"
But this time not to the orphanage, no he was taking her home with him.
