L O U I S :

*@allthelouve_ is now following you.*

I slid the notification across the screen and typed my password in. I clicked on the profile and began scrolling through the tweets.

"@allthelouve_ : Stars can't shine without darkness."

I liked the last one they tweeted so I favorited it and followed them.

"Louis! Get your ass down here!" My mom screamed from where I figured was the couch. She never leaves there.

"Coming!"

"Hurry!" I ran down the stairs to see her sprawled out across the couch and watching the tv.

"Yes ma'am?"

"Make yourself useful for once and get me a beer." She smirked pointing towards the kitchen.

"You do know that you're about ten feet from the fridge, right?" I rolled my eyes.

"Yes and I also know that I have a lazy excuse for a son." Anger boiled up inside of me.

"Like mother, like son." I replied throwing the beer at her. I walked back up the stairs dreading grabbing my phone.

*10 new Facebook notifications*

I hesitated to unlock my phone and read them but it felt like my skin was itching to know what they were saying about me. I clicked the Facebook app and went to my page.

"He's such a queer."

"I hope he kills himself."

"I hear he's like a druggie now."

It's antidepressants bitch.

"I sit beside him in science and he has cuts all over his arms. Can you say emo"

I stopped scrolling because I've seen enough. It's just words. I tried to remind myself. I got back on Twitter and decided to tweet.

"@MrNobody_ : And suicide had never looked better."

About a minute after posting it I already had many favorites and a few retweets. A one had appeared from my DM box and I clicked to check it. The message was from @allthelouve_ .

@allthelouve_ : Are you okay?

Me : Define 'okay'

@allthelouve_ : Not wanting to harm yourself or anyone else.

Me :Then no. I am not okay.

@allthelouve_ : What happened?

Me : A lot.

@allthelouve_ : Wanna share? It might help.

I began to tell a complete stranger everything. I was expecting them not to reply when my phone dinged again.

@allthelouve : That must be hard. You must be very strong.

Me : Doesn't feel like it.

@allthelouve : And your name is?

Me : You can call me Lou.

@allthelouve_ : Lou it is.

Me : And your name is?

@allthelouve_ : You can call me H since we're doing nicknames.

And that's how it all began.
