Depression suicide and self harm mentions
John POV
I woke up the next morning cuddling with Alex. Oh boy I was never gonna hear the end of this from Peggy. He was so cute when he slept though! His arms were wrapped around my waist and I blushed. I snuggled my head into his chest. Then Laff yelled "wake up love birds!" I turned red and Alex woke up realizing what was happening. He gave Herc a look and then he dragged his boyfriend out of the cabin and to breakfast. Alex rubbed his eyes. HE WAS SO CUTE! Then he said "you snore like a puppy. It's sounds so adorable." I started blushing really hard and then got down from my bed. Alex followed, we quickly changed I tried to fix my hair and Alex pulled his into a messy low ponytail. We rushed out of the room and headed to the dining hall. Peggy ran up to me and hugged me. I smiled and hugged back. She then said " John you are my best friend and you better talk to me or you will regret it." Peggy was the kind of person who was very kind but also very threatening. Alex saw that I was a little uncomfortable and spoke up. "How about we forget everything that happened yesterday he's going to see Washington so don't worry." I smiled and so did Peggy and Alex they were great friends.

John POV
I was being dragged by Alex to the main area were mr Washington's office is. I really didn't want to do this but Alex was being so kind how can I say no to him. I barely new Alex for a day and he already cared so much about me and I cared so much about him. I felt like I was his friend his entire life. I walked in the office and Alex went to get mr Washington. I played with my thumbs and fiddled with my hands I always did that when I'm nervous. Mr Washington stepped out of his office he looked upset. What if he was mad at me? What if he sent me home? What if- my thoughts were cut off by him beginning to speak. "Come in I need to have a talk with you." I stepped into a side room it had a desk filled with papers and two chairs. I was so nervous I felt as if I was gonna have another panic attack. I sat down on the chair it really helped because I was getting dizzy. I gripped onto the sides of the chair as if I were attached to it. He then spoke up "were there any bullying issues or anything involved with the camp?" I shook my head not wanting to respond. "I'm not saying this because I don't want to get sued I care about my campers here and I want them to be safe." He said seeing that I was nervous. "Have you tried talking to a parent about this?" He said calmly. "I tried um but my dad thought I was being dramatic. I once fainted after having a panic attack and my dad didn't help me he just grounded me." I mumbled I was on the verge of tears. This was the first time I ever talked to an adult about this and felt comfortable. I only met this man yesterday but I trusted him more than my own dad. He sighed and frowned. "I am sorry to hear that but he is the only way we can get you a therapist or any help." He sighed shaking his head. "Before we can get a professional to help you I suggest talking to your friends or me." I stepped outside the door shaking and thanked him. For some weird reason I had a good feeling about this.
Mr. Washington POV (awesome wow)
After I heard Johns story I was upset. I didn't want him to go through that. I called his father
(Bold Henry regular Washington)

"Hello" he said annoyed
"Hi this is George Washington the director at camp Washington" I said trying not to scream into the phone
"Is John already in trouble? You know he's in that phase right know he fakes being sick to try and get out of school."

I already hated this man. How could such a sweet little kid such as John be raised by him.
"No. He is a great kid actually. He's not the one in trouble though."

"Did someone already beat him up? That kid couldn't fight for the life of him. He's in that feminine phase he thinks he's gay. Little brat." After hearing that I realized what was going on.

"Nobody hurt him. He hurt himself." I said angrily and annoyed at the man

"What do you mean?" He snickered.

"Your son tried to kill himself. He had cuts on his arms that he made himself." I copied everything Alex told me.

"What!" He said as his voice starting to break

"He had a failed attempt at suicide and from what I heard this is not the first time."

"What that makes no sense he's perfectly fine and that goes against god's commandments." I rolled my eyes

"Your son is not faking illness he's depressed and he has had a history of panic attacks. Your son needs help. He could die if you don't give your seal of approval to let him see a therapist."

"Fine I'll let him but I assure you that he is just being over dramatic." He hung up and I sighed. Why must there be such cruel people in this world.

John POV
Me and Alex talked for a few minutes and Washington stepped out of his office. I started fiddling with my thumbs again. I nearly had a panic attack. Alex squeezed my hand tightly he could sense I was nervous. Washington came over to us and said "John no offence but your father is an asshole." I laughed I always thought that but I thought that was only me. "After some convincing he gave me approval." I Was so thankful someone actually cared about me I had friends I felt more at home than I had felt at my own house. I tried to push away my anxiety and said "thank you so much." He smiled "no problem." Me and Alex walked out I was happy. Yeah John the depressed kid who has anxiety and PTSD Laurens was happy.
