*March 6th*

*Steve's POV*

*9:33 pm*

My friends comfort me after the police interview. They keep asking if I'm okay but how could I? I just watched my best friend take his life in front of me. He took it because he was fearing for his own. His blood still stains my shirt. Josh is dead.... I lost two great friends in one night.... We all did. I wish I would've died that day. This is so much for me to handle. I start walking toward my house and Brittanny stops me.

"You promise you'll be okay?"

"I can't promise a damn thing. I promised everything would be over. We have a big path to go down Brittanny."

"I'll come check on you tomorrow."

"Thank you."

I finally get in my room. I turn the lights off and shut my curtains. I cry my eyes out. Crying so loud I know my friends can hear me from all the way outside. My head gets light, and I hit the ground.

*7:30 am*

*March 7th*

I wake up on the floor. My face all crusty and a slight headache. I wash my face before going downstairs and drinking a cold water. I take a shower. After the shower I have an apple. I sit on my front porch while watching the fog slowly clear. Tyler skates down to my house from his.

"Hey Steve. How are you feeling?"

He sits next to me.

"I still feel like shit. You enjoy your birthday yesterday?"

"Before all the shit yeah. Best birthday I had in a while."

"Mines is ruined now. It can't get worse, right?"

"I hope not. We can't predict anything at this point."

"I mean who would do this? Two boys got killed over.... This is not fucking real."

"I understand your anger. I know everything will get better soon."

"How do you know?"

"I can feel it. Let's just see."

"Sure... I'm heading back inside."

"Alright. See you later Steve."

"See you later Ty."

I rush inside. I start doing my routine of snorting. I don't have any plans of stopping.  Lines get longer and thicker. My nose bleeds. Blood gets all over me. The powder drops all over my dresser. It hurts so badly.

"Steve!"

I turn around and see my mom.

"Ma?"

"Steve.... What are you doing?"

My vision blurs. My mom turns into a blob. Next thing I know I'm on the floor.

"Steve! Are you okay?!"

My body becomes stiff. The room gets lighter than heave. My body starts to shake uncontrollably. 

*8:51 am*

I wake up to my mom next to me.

"Oh my god, are you okay?"

I feel horrible. Why would I do this to myself? Why am I destroying myself?

"Where is Maya and-"

"They are at Pearl's house."

"I'm sorry."

She holds my hand.

"I'm not mad at you baby. When did you start doing drugs? Where the did you get them?"
