1 month earlier.
Nick came home from school and felt tired. He felt worthless and he knew there was only one thing to do. Nick went upstairs and looked at the door and made sure nobody was home. It was the first time I had done it since the bullying. Nick sat on his bed thinking that Charlie did not love him. He did not know how to deal with the attention and grabbed the scissors on the counter and cut his arm. The flashbacks started coming back and the tears came rushing out of Nicks's eyes. He got up turned off the lights and went to bed.It was Monday and Tao had to get ready for school. But the best part of school was his friends but he had none. He put on the uniform like always brushed his teeth and walked out the door. He had no friends he had nobody but it was time to make amends. He got to school and everyone was ignoring him. The day went by and nobody said anything. It was lunchtime and Tao went to sit down at his normal table. The table was silent and nobody said anything then he opened his mouth and Elle said she did not want to hear It.
Tao spent the whole lunch period trying to explain what happened. Everyone Gave him a hug and all was forgiven. Elle was leaving soon and there was nothing to could do about it.
Flashback
It was a long day at school Charlie was tired but not his normal tired. Charlie felt the pain of all these problems. The weight of the world was on Charlie's back. Charlie grabbed the knife and cut himself. Charlie was running late to school when his mom came in and looked at Charlie. Tears running down her face she saw the blood on the sheets and lifted them up. She saw the cuts all over his arms and knew what she had to do.Elle woke and knew she was going to have to face the day. It was her last day she would never step foot in the school again. She walked through the doors and saw all of her friends. Hey guys I am really going to miss you. Tao smiles back and everyone says we will miss you back. All day a weird silence filled the room. The Day went on and lunch came. Lunch was the last period the fiend group had with each other.
If you guys don't want me to leave you tell me, please. I do not want to upset you. Dara interrupts and says leave this is a great opportunity. We all laughed and tears fell down my cheek. The lunch Bell was over and I looked back. Maybe because I have been in this school forever everything felt off. The bell rang for the last period and Isaac walked home. We talked and talked and gave each other a hug. Will this be the last time I will see you all for a while, no I promise it will not be.
