My friend Google informed me CPR wasn't used until the fifties

I wake up at 1pm and roll over to see the bed empty. I'm guessing Lydia got too bored of staying in bed all day. She's never been much of a bed person. She doesn't like to waste her day and it makes me somewhat happy to know she isn't letting this man control her life from the beyond 
I get up to go and have a wash but when I go to open the door, it won't open. It's locked. I knock on expecting Lydia to tell me to go away or dad's gruff voice to tell me to piss off. But I hear nothing. Oh well. I go downstairs in just my trousers and see dad and John sat drinking 
"Morning" i says tired as i sit down
"Er...afternoon" John laughs ruffling my very messed up hair 
"Where's lyd?" I asked 
"Still in bed" dad says
"No she's-" and then it hits me like a ton of bricks. I run up the stairs with dad and John following me. I get to the bathroom door and knock on again. When no one replied, I try forcefully opening the door
"Open this fucking door lyd" I yell
"This isn't funny now just open the fucking door" I scream as I try and open it
"What's going on?" John asks worried but confused 
"I think...I think lyds done something really stupid" I say with tears in my eyes. Dad takes a step back and then kicks the door down. We see water all over the floor. I run over to the bath tub and see Lydia submerged under the water. She is fully clothed and the water is blood red. I lift her above the water her John helps me drag her out and put her on the floor. That's when we see her wrists. Cuts all the way up her arm that get deeper and deeper the closer to the hand they are
"I'll call and ambulance" John says as he runs to the phone. Dad hugged her body as he cried and i sat against the tub helpless. We checked for a pulse but couldn't find one until dad cried out
"I...I've found one. It's w...weak" he sobbed as he kissed her forehead. Thank god. Atleast we aren't too late...yet. the ambulance arrives within 10 minutes and she is taken away and into the back of the van whilst we can do nothing to help. Dad goes with her but I was told to stay home. I was in tears as they left as was John but he was trying his best to hold it together 
We went back inside and sat down on the sofa in silence. John went to make a few phone calls and soon enough polly Tommy and finn walk in. I'm handed a cup of tea but I'm not sure who by. Everythings a blur
"She did it herself didnt she?" I asked John interrupting whatever he was saying
"What?" 
"She tried to kill herself. I know you're tryna hide if from me but I'm 16. I'm not stupid" I said. After a moment of silence, he said 
"Ye. She did. She left letters for us all so it must have been planned. Luckily she didn't succeed" 
"This time" i mumbled 
"Don't say that" aunt pol said. I looked up at her with red eyes
"But its true. What if I had slept another 5 minutes. She'd be dead. It was a case of right place at the right time. That's why she's alive. If it happens again, we can't be sure we will be around to stop her" I said letting a few tears stop 
"When she comes out of hospital we won't leave her side. Not for a long time until we are sure she is well" Tommy said 
"This is fucking ridiculous" I said standing up. I grabbed my coat and walked outside into the cold winter air. I began to walk down by the canal just to clear my head for a temporary while
