*Mitch POV*

I had noticed that Jerome had gone missing. Where could he be? I walk around the grounds until I find him. Underneath a tree. Crying.

"Jerome, what's the matter?"

He just continued crying softly. I noticed that his jacket sleeves were pulled down WAY too far. I pry them away, not daring to believe what could be under there. Then my worst fear was confirmed. There were cuts all along Jerome's arms. And I did the worst possible thing. I snapped.

"JEROME WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO! I THOUGHT THAT I COULD HAVE TRUSTED TO NOT CUT. I GUESS NOT!"
"M-Mitch please it-it wasn't m-me, I-"
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY, HUH? THAT "SOMEBODY ELSE" MADE YOU DO IT? I AM ASHAMED,"

I start to walk away.

*Jerome POV*

I couldn't believe it. That, that bastard ruined my life. I no longer had anything to live for if Mitch, my Mitch, hated me. I went back to the house to wallow in self pity

I decided that it wasn't worth it anymore. I got a rope that was sufficient to hold my weight. I threw it up over the rafters and tied a noose. The noose that would take me away to a better place.
