~Preston's POV~

I walk in the door, smiling for once.
I finally found a friend that actually cheers me up and cares, I find that so relieving, nobody really cared for so long. As per usual, I obviously walk up to my room to escape from my 'family' or so they call themselves family.
After finishing homework, I go onto twitter to check if Rob was online. He had recently tweeted, so I dm'd him.
We chatted for a long while. This is the happiest I have been for such a long time, this is amazing. I heard the dreaded call for dinner, and I told Rob that I had to go for a while and I'd be back as soon as I could.

I sat down at the table and they almost instantly start giving out to me. I hate this. I try to block out as much as I could but it just wasn't working. The negative thought revolved around my head and I absolutely HATED it. I hate me too though I guess so that works, so does everyone else! Hurray.
Eventually I get up from my chair and start walking away.
"You didn't even eat half your dinner Preston are you going to starve yourself to be less of a fattie?" my brother started teasing.
"You know what? I don't care. This is the reason I never want to eat, nor come downstairs. Honestly I hate you all as much as you hate me, bye!" I smirk and storm upstairs.

-/-/TRIGGER WARNING-\-\

I lock the bathroom door.
I take the dreaded tool out of its box and take it apart. I thought I'd never be doing this again. But looks like I am! Weakling Preston is back and is here to stay! I start slicing and wince at the sudden pain. "Dumb.. Fat.. Wimp.. Worthless.. Incapable.." I say as the blood pours out of the cuts. I smile and whisper "Are you happy now?" and pass out.

~Rob's POV~

I'm probably just over reacting. He probably just lost his phone or his phone died or something. It's been 2 hours since he said he was going to dinner. He messaged me.

R = Rob, P = Preston
R: Dude are you okay? :(
P: Yes, sorry I had to do homework
R: but you said you finished it before dinner?
P: Uh yeah I forgot history
R: Oh. Dude, we should Skype, it would be a lot easier than typing here.
P: Okay, I'll add you.

I accept the call request.
"Hey dude!" I say cheerfully.
"Hi.." he says, looking like he just recently woke up.
"Are you 100% sure you're okay, dude?" I say, with a concerned look on my face.
"U-um yeah." he said, very unconvincingly.
"I don't believe that for a second. You can tell me anything, just remember that dude, okay?" I say, as he nervously looks down.
"Yes, I'm fine." he says after clearing his throat.
After a few minutes of chatting, I finally see it. The red marks on his arms.
My mouth drops.
His face goes red.
"Preston.. please say you didn't do i-"
"Im so sorry Rob. Im a weakling. Im a liar. I couldn't handle it." he says interrupting me.
He bursts into tears.
"Preston.." I say on the verge of tears.
"Preston, you can rant to me anytime. Please, I'm begging you to throw it away. Throw it out the window. Don't ever touch it or anything of it's like to do anything like that again." I gulp trying to hold back tears.
"Preston, I really care for you. I really don't want you to be hurt and I would do anything I could to get you out of the situation you're in. You're an amazing person, an amazing friend, everything positive I can think of. Please don't think anything less of yourself." I say as I start sobbing.
He sits there emotionless staring at the screen.
"Preston, are you okay?" I say after a few minutes of silence.
After about a minute, he finally clears his throat and gets out.
"I don't know, Rob. I honestly don't even know anymore."
Suddenly, his rooms door bursts open as he turns around.
"Sorry, I have to go" he quickly says as he holds up his arms as a defence motion and the call drops.

I lie in bed staring at the ceiling.
Stressing, worrying.
I really hope he's okay..
