What's Your Story

Grace's POV.

I've been thinking a lot today

I've been thinking about telling my story to Hannah...

...

"Hannah?"

"Yea"

"I'm ready..."

She looks at me with a smirk, I knew what she's was thinking..

"Not that Hannah!" I say rolling my eyes

Her smirk fades away

"For what then..?"

"I'm ready to tell you my story..." I say sitting beside her

She takes my hand in hers and holds it tightly, she looks at me with concern and nods..

I take a deep breath and look at her..

"A few years ago I felt alone and no one could ever help me... My parents realized that I wasn't as happy anymore and I would ususally just stay in bed for numbers of days, they got worried and brought me to a doctor..That's when I was diagnosed with Depression, so knowing that, I got even more depressed. My mom got discouraged with me and told me that she was going on a trip for a while... That was 5 years ago, and she still hasn't come back.. I was living alone, my brothers were living with my dad because my mom didn't want me to get them depressed... So I haven't seen my family in 5 years... Some nights I would get frustrated at my family for leaving me and break down... And so I would self-harm for relief.. And Hannah... The other day it wasn't your fault, I was just having a bad day, thinking about my family and Chester... I wanted to go back with Chester because he was the only one I had that cared about me...But now I have you... " I finish saying with a soft smile looking at her.

"You will always have me.." She says giving me a reasuring smile

"Now that you know my story, what's yours?" I say looking up at her

"What?" She looks at me with a confused look

I look at her straight into her eyes...

"I saw the cuts Hannah..."

She looks down, she places her hand slowly to her wrist, she looks at me and nods..

"Well my story is that a few years back I did self-harm and I was a very depressed person... Until.. I met you, you made my world a whole better place... Because of you I stopped self-harming and I became happier. You changed everything! I'm a whole different person since I met you..in a good way. And since then I haven't done it, and I haven't been feeling depressed for the longest time...Until I saw your cuts..That really shocked me that how such a "Happy" girl like you ever do that to herself. After I saw your cuts I became depressed and I was hiding my feelings from you so you didn't have to worry about me...But then when you told me that you were getting back with Chester...That tore me apart. So when you left to go to Chester's that night, I got really drunk and went into your room, destroying it while looking for your blade...and then when I finally found it I went into the bathroom... and just remembered all of our wonderful memories together with every cut... So that's my story... And I promise you that I will never do it again, and you have to promise me the same thing..."

I look at her with tears..

"I'm sorry...and y..Ya I pro..promise.." I studder while trying to hold back tears

She gives me a weak smile and I lean in and kiss her passionately...
