Ch. 14
"You cut?!?" He said surprisingly."Yeah. I do." I said rolling down the sleeves.
"Why?" He asked.
"I dunno." I said. "Okay, that's a lie I do know why. It's because 1) my best friends suicides. 2) the bullying on Twitter 3) my dad 4) my mom. There's much more." I pulled my arm out of Noah's hand to dry my tears.
Still standing knee deep in water he said:
"I'm sorry. Let's get you home. We can talk in the car."
"So yep. That's basically why I cut." I said.
"That's sad." He said as he turned the car into my driveway. "I'll see you at school tomorrow."
He hugged me and then we stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds.
I said as I was getting out of the car:
"Please don't tell anyone about this."
"I won't. Promise." He said crossing his heart.
"Oh and thanks. Thank you for being there for me. You're my only and best friend." I said.
I gave him another hug and turned to go into the house.I was standing on the porch and watched him drive away. I turned and walked into the house, making sure my sleeves were all the way down. I walked upstairs and went into the shower.
I put on pajamas. I was really hungry so I went downstairs to get and apple. This is the first time I've eaten in 3 days.
I sat on the couch and turned on the tv to my favorite channel.
I heard a knock on the door. I got up off the couch and answered it.
