I woke up at around 3 pm as we did end up carrying ourselves back to the dorms at around 3 am I'd say.

I felt like shit again and i bet the others do as well, I didn't want to but this day definitely was spent mostly thinking how stupid I was, I let 2 of my friends die I couldn't think about anything else but stare at the knife and contemplate for hours on if i should do it or not...

I mean I was worthless at that point who would care if I actually did it anyways. I slowly stood up stumbling a bit and walking over to pick up the knife once again and took a glance at myself in the mirror, I looked like an absolute mess my silky dark brown hair fluffed up and tangled together I was in and oversized t-shirt and shorts I had bags under my eyes and i looked extremely thin.

I stumbled back to bed and opened my night light, I looked at my arm then at the knife going back and forth till i put the knife to my arm, slowly but surely i slid the knife down my arm watching the skin slowly cut open leaving a trail of blood I winced in pain as I slid it farther down the side of my arm, after i pulled the knife away i watched as the cut slowly form a small puddle of blood on my arm.

I felt like that was worth it, my own payback to myself for all the pain I put everyone else in.

After a while of watching the scar I put the knife down and layed back down in bed quietly drifting back to sleep.

I woke up not long after feeling guilt and distress hit me instantly. Why did this happen now? I genuinely have no idea but it hit me and it hit me hard just a moment late streams of tears were dropping from my eyes I couldn't help but pick up the knife, my mind was everywhere I couldn't think Just intense shaking and lots of blood, I could hear Matt at the door of my dorm knocking over and over...

Matt POV:
What happened?!

I was frantically thinking Summer isn't opening her door and didn't even answer me what if she got kidnapped?!

What if she.... Did...su!c!de...

I couldnt the thought of something happening to her was spinning around my mind constantly.

After a while I finally got the courage to just barge open the door,

*BANG* "Shit! What the fuck?!"

Pain instantly hit my back as I saw blood painfully drip down from my stomach, I turn around to see the principal well no surprise huh gun in hand staring at me.

Before I knew it he came running at me pushing me aside and forcing the door open.

I look up from the ground when I heard Summer scream looking at her void black eyes staring back at me in faith. She looked so incredibly scared but I could see the hope in her eyes.

The principal, one gun pointed at her spinal cord and another pointed straight at me a smirk forming on his lips

"so? You, her or both, rather you choose her and she doesn't get hurt or you be selfish and choose yourself, she dies and you will survive, and the last choice, you guys both live but you sacrifice one other friend who will see the gates of heaven or hell in the next 24 hours... your choice Matt these lives depend on you"

He said with a small chuckle at the end of the sentence, I could tell he was enjoying seeing our pain and how scared we both looked, all my friends lives are currently in my hands I looked down to see the blood spilt all over my hands and the blood dripped to the ground from my mouth then looked back up at Summer, she looked so traumatized and frightened a moment later my mind went to think about how much Summer has gone through to help save us.. I made up my mind and was about to say it when I heard someone from behind me yell: "

Hey! Put the guns down now or I will shoot!"

I turned around to see Zeke gun in hand pointing straight at the principal "Zeke?! W-what?! Where did you even get the gun?!" I yelled coughing up a bit more blood "Matt just shut up i'll explain later you don't have much time nor does Summer '' Zeke replied.

"Wow heh... looks like you got some help huh Matt.. Well then you better choose quick or all of you will die" The principal said. Before I knew it I heard a gunshot go I turn around to see Zeke slowly pull the gun down to his side looking at the principal that was falling to the ground with an unreadable face expression.

That was till. He turned his attention straight back to us and called 111 (I live in Nz don't judge me). I wanted to stand up to go check if Summer was alright as she looked so scared, knife in hand and blood everywhere but before anything happened my mind went blank and everything went black with the last thing I heard was a yell from Summer screaming "Matt!" And Zeke curse under his breath sounding overly concerned.
