I wake up lying in a bed, and when I sit up I get a major headache. "Ugh" I groan, making Jason wake up and look around wildly, before breathing a sigh of relief because he realizes that it was just me. "Your awake." He smirks, and checks the time. "What time is it?" I croak. "It's about 10:00." He says honestly. "On what day......" I ask warily. "Um Monday." he mutters and I bolt up straight. "What?!?! It's been two days?! W-what happened?" Jason looks down. "Um well you kinda tried to kill yourself again." He mumbles and I look at him, shocked. "W-w-what?" "You uh after you saw me come up to the house you ran inside and locked yourself in the bathroom. You cut yourself until you blacked out from loss of blood and um we took you to the hospital." I gasp a little and turn my arm over to show my all stitched up forearm. "Jason I-I'm so sorry." I say, looking at him sadly. He sits beside me and takes me into his arms, gently hugging me. "Hey it's okay. I understand your life has been tough and I don't blame you. Just please, please don't hurt yourself if I get hurt." He looks deeply into my eyes and I look down. "I promise. I just didn't want drew to hurt you, that's all." I sigh and he gently says "it's okay." And hugs me again. "So shall we get something to eat?" I laugh a little when he says that but nod and he looks at me confusedly but smiling. "What?" "Nothing that statement is just so, so plain. I like it. But yeah I'm hungry. I guess we could make sandwiches or-" he cuts me off by grinning and saying "no, I'm taking you out to eat. You deserve it." I smile, standing up and taking his hand. "Thank you." I whisper. He grasps my hand back and leads me out of room, down the stairs, and out the door. We walk down the street and I laugh at the jokes he is telling me before he stops in front of a restaurant. "This is it." He smiles and opens the door for me and I walk in. We get a table and sit and Jason asks me, "so.... What's the story between you and drew." I sigh and he quickly adds, "only if you wanna tell me, that is." I sigh again and say "y-yeah I'll tell you. Um well before he started bullying me, our parents were kinda friends. And we'll you see he kinda erm liked me and one day In the second grade he tried to kiss me. I rejected him and that was about when he started bullying me. And yeah I've never had anyone but myself to deal with him, except for my ex-boyfriend.... But that's another story." Jason looks at me. "Ex?" He asks and I stutter, "um y-yeah I had a boyfriend about a year ago. His name was uh Jayden and at first everything was great. I thought he really loved me. He was always there for me, he really cared, and he would never ever let drew hurt me. Then he started abusing me. He started coming home drunk and he would hurt me, verbally and physically. He was awful, I was actually scared of him. So I ran away. I had been staying with him but I went back to my uncles house and didn't go to school for a week. I only went back because he had moved schools. I hate him, he's the reason I have trust issues." I shudder, remembering those awful nights. Jason stays quiet for a moment and then says "wow. I-I'm so very, very sorry. C'mere." he says, taking me into a hug. "I'm not gonna hurt you." "I know." I whisper back to him and we stay like that for a couple minutes before I pull back. After that we just talk about random things, and of course eat. When we are done all together Jason pays, which was against my begging of telling him to let me pay, and we walk out of the restaurant and down the street. All was fine for a couple minutes when all the sudden i gasp and hide behind Jason like a little child. "What's wrong?!?" He asks, concern lacing his voice. I point to a boy that is laughing in the distance, with brown hair swept across his forehead. "That's him." I say quietly. "That's Jayden."
