A/N I am bad at writing happy endings, but every other ending I could think of was too sad (Dan killing himself successfully, or his aunt killing him, or Wayne suffocating back at dans house, etc) so I hope this isn't SO bad...

Next week...
I've been living with this girl called Aja, the daughter of Wayne's mom's friend, for three days. Thankfully, the school checked some cameras that were always filming the school and Fred was actually sent to prison for a week and expelled, while Wayne could go again. I've lived with Wayne for four days before moving over here, and he was always awake by the time I woke. Aja's the opposite, she's never awake. I visit Ben, Platz or Wayne every day. I like Aja, I'm happy that she's in my new house. I have to admit I still cut - a lot. Even a bit more than before. But it's fine. Even though I still find it embarrassing and stupid that I can't just throw the knife away, Wayne helps. He's worried and cares, but he's not angry. When we talk about it, he's kind and soft, softer than ever when I hear him talk to Ben or Platz. And even though I always lie that no, I don't cut anymore, we still sometimes talk about it. Those talks are mostly like Wayne talking about it not being bad that I'm awesome that I shouldn't hurt myself but he won't be angry if I do he is just worried and stuff like that. We also though of a band name, 'Imagine Dragons'. The guys wrote some chords for a song I wrote called It's Time. My new mother gives me pocket money, and the guys and I are planning to go out to the street and play some songs in our free time. I'm kind of worried about Wayne, he seems really tired these days, but he is very stubborn and won't admit it. He kind of remind me of myself as he tries to hide his exhaustion. But he seems better today in school. I ask him,
" Did you sleep tonight?" He nods and says,
" Yes. I'll admit I haven't slept in ten days but yesterday I finally managed to get some sleep while listening to our song with my headphones at night. Did you cut?" I smile, and say what I always say,
" Nope, I guess it's easier to stop than I thought. Glad listening to the song helped." Now he smiles too, though it's clear he doesn't truly believe me. We hug - in the middle of school - and get back to learning. Maybe, one day, I really will stop cutting. Maybe no. But at least now I treat my wounds, and I don't flinch even seeing them. Because it's fine. It doesn't matter. I had a bad life. It's not my fault. I'm fine.
