L O U I S : (3 days later)

I walked into school and headed towards my locker. 5 minutes late of course. I put in my locker combination and took my time opening it. Maybe they won't say anything today. I tried to convince myself. Why would they stop today? They've done it for 4 years. I reminded myself and began walking towards my class.

"Louis. You are late." I put my head down as I walked, careful not to make eye contact.

"Uhm. I-I am sorry sir." I replied taking my seat.

"I-I-I need to go to the bathroom Mr. Stanley." I was careful not to turn around. I knew who it was.

"No. You cannot go Kole." Mr. Stanley tried his best to hide the smirk on his face from what Kole had said.

"F-F-Fine." Kole laughed earning high fives from his friends. This time Mr. Stanley laughed along with pretty much everyone in class. I grabbed my pencil and put in on my desk. I just hope today goes by fast.

At lunch, I sat down in a corner table and didn't look at anyone. I slid my phone from my pocket and decided to tweet.

"@MrNobody_ : I hope you're happy that you've pushed them over the edge."

After that, I didn't bother to stay on. I needed a distraction.

I walked out of the lunch room and down to the library. As soon as I entered the library I headed towards the fantasy books. Reading has always been my outlet. I grabbed a random book and headed towards the back room. Mrs. Roland loved me so she always lets me read back here when I need away.

"Back again?" She asked peeking over her desk. She was about 56 or 57 with almost white hair and only about 5'4. One wouldn't be wrong to say that I come here a lot. I nodded and put my head down. "Okay. Wanna share?"

"Not today." I sighed and she nodded for me to go on. I hated getting sympathy.

I walked into the room and sat down behind a large brown desk.

~ After School ~

After going to my locker I had to run to catch the bus. Just as I got to the side walk in front of it they pulled out. I stood there and watched for a few minutes before realizing that I would have to walk home and should start now.

They weren't that bad today. I thought as I walked. It could have been so much worse.

"Need a ride?" I didn't bother to look. I only shook my head and kept walking. "Are you sure?" They asked again. I shook my head again. I didn't wanna know who it was. The car sped on and I caught a glimpse of the back. Not too bad.

When I arrived home I walked up the steps and to my room.

I had 14 new direct messages from @allthelouve_ .

Him : Are you okay?

Him : Lou??

Him : I'm worried.

Him : why did you tweet that?

Him : Please don't do anything rash.

Him: Lou.

Him : you're really scaring me.

Him : are you okay???!

Him : Please answer.

Him : what happened?

Him : please be alive.

Him: Lou!!!

Him : I'm serious.

Him : You're scaring me so bad right now

Me : I'm alive.

Him : Thank goodness! What happened?!

Me : Just my mind.

Him : Did someone say something to you?

Me : Just joked about my stuttering. Not as bad as usual.

Him : it's still not good.

Me : Ah.

Him : So you're okay?

Me : Good as I'll ever be.

H A R R Y :

Me : Do you self harm?

Him : No.

Me : You can be honest.

Him : No.

Me : Lou.

Him : Yes.

Me : How long?

Him : Around 4 years.

Me : Please don't harm yourself. You're better than that.

Him : 1 opinion against 1,000 others.

Me : Please don't.

Him : You don't even know me.

Me : I care though.

Him : That can't change anything.

In those moments, I realized just how broken that Lou was. I also realized that for some off the wall reason, I had to save him. I had never wanted to do something this much in my whole life.

Me : Can I try?
