"I Think You Need Help"

(A/n: obnoxiously short chapter today bc I've got school tmr and it's already 1am 😀🙌)

I take a step back from the mirror and pose, I turn to the side and take a few photos.

The door opens quietly without me noticing, I send my selfies to mom to show her my new dress  while facing away from the door, that's when I see Ghosts reflection in the mirror behind me.

"Whacha doing"

I jump and turn to him, folding my arms and moving my hand to cover my forearm.

"Sending some photos to my mom"

"That's a nice dress, did you buy it when we were shopping?"

"Mhm" I nod

I see his eyes move to where my hand is covering

"Did something happen to you?"

I feel myself start to go slightly pale

"Oh, I don't know..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea"

...

"Did you do it?"

I nod and look up at him, his eyes look sad. He gently pulls away my hand and looks at the marks on my arm.

"I'm so sorry y/n"

I don't say anything, I just continue to look at his eyes, trying to read what he's feeling.

"I think you need help"

"I used to talk to someone, before we left" I say sitting on my bed, he sits beside me turning to  face me slightly

"And did that help?"

"A lot, but I haven't gone to her since before we left"

"Maybe we can find someone in Spai-"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I don't want anyone to find out"

"But I think they need to know too" he says giving me an empathetic look 

"No? Why"

"They should know if you are a danger to yourself, we can help you"

"I'm not a danger to myself, what do you think I'm gonna do? Kill myself?!"

"No no of course not, but if you don't do something about this, it could lead to that"

I look at the ground for a moment

"Please" I say weakly

"I'm sorry y/n but it's the right thing to do"

I don't look at him as he pats my leg and leaves the room

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Someone knocks on the door a while later

"Y/n?" I hear a muffled voice

I look up from my phone to see Alejandro's head peeking in the door

"Can I talk to you for a momento?"

"Okay"

He sits beside me 

"Ghost told me"

"I know" I had put on a jumper a while ago as I knew someone would come in trying to talk to me

"I'm sorry you feel bad enough to hurt yourself" 

I continue to look at my hands In my lap

"You aren't mad at him are you? What he did was a kind thing and he only meant to do it to look out for you querida"

...

"I didn't want anyone to know"

"I know, but we can help you now, you do know you can always talk to us right? I know we aren't your girly amigos that you can chat to about it but we are still here ok?"

"Thanks Alejandro" I smile

He stands up and leaves me alone in the room once again
