TRIGGER WARNING🔫
-Katrina's POV-
I woke up and saw my parents near my hospital bed, "What were you thinking? Why didn't you just jump off a damn building?" My dad was tough and overprotective of me, a lot. "We thought we would never see your eyes open again! Gracie told us everything too, how could you beat her up like that even after what she did?" My mom, too, was overprotective, I can now see why she had her doubts about me coming to this school. Soon after explaining everything to them, they left and a familiar face walked in, Caleb. "Katrina... I'm sorry." Caleb cried and kneeled down by the bed and ruffled his hair, "I just need some time to sort out my feelings, I hope you can understand." I was angry with him, he has three other girlfriends right now if I'm correct. "That sounds great, go tell your other three girlfriends that. Let me think... Laura, Serena, and Gracie?" He got up, frowned and walked away like everyone else. The name Gracie made my mind want to explode, was everyone right? Gracie was honest with me for what she did and then I beat her up. In my mind she deserved it after everything she said and made out with Caleb. It replayed in my head over and over! Starr is the only girl who has actually stuck by my side, so far.

- Gracie's POV-
After leaving the hospital, I went back to my dorm room bathroom and stared in the mirror. So this is what everyone else sees: a shortish girl with long wavy and curly brown hair, hazelnut brown eyes and faded freckles. I took a deep breath and left the bathroom to go to the dorm section kitchen, there are four dorm rooms and those make up a section that includes a small kitchen and living area. I walked into the kitchen and opened the knives drawer, grabbed a large sized knife and went to the bathroom. For the first time since I went to rehab, I cut myself on my legs just enough to be covered by shorts and pants. I screamed in pain but no one could ever hear me. Then I heard my dorm room door open.

-Ryan's POV-
I stared through the bathroom door in disbelief, Gracie was sitting on the floor in a small pool of blood holding a knife. "G-Gracie?" She looked up, her face red and eyes wide open, "What are you doing here, Ryan?" Now that was a good question, Caleb said he left his phone in here after looking through Gracie's room, but I couldn't tell her that. "Caleb left his phone here earlier." "Why was he in here?" Uh-oh... "Pf, I don't know. I think the real question is why are you--" Gracie burst into tears and threw her head into her arms. I walked over to her, helped her up and hugged her into a gentle embrace, "Shh, it's okay." I soothed her and pulled her into a kiss.

-Caleb's POV-
I walked into my dorm room making out with Katrina. She was let out of the hospital and suddenly she was super happy. I peeled her shirt off and she lifted my shirt up, we were on the bed kissing when Gracie and Ryan walked in. "OHMYGOD." Yelled Gracie. Ryan snapped a photo, Katrina awkwardly pulled her shirt on and ran out of there. I sighed and flopped on the bed, Gracie laughed and walked out. Ryan laughed so hard that I had to punch him on the shoulder. "Hey dude! Don't punch me! Anyways, were getting a new roommate." He said laughing. "Who?" I asked him. "Some guy named Byson." He said smiling. BYSON?! WTF? Suddenly a blonde guy with nice hair walked in. "Hey dudes! I'm Bryson." Ohhhh his name was BRYSON. I had to bite my lip to stop from laughing, Suddenly Starr rushed in. "Katrina left her bookbag here. And she definitely doesn't wanna come back..." Starr said giggling. Suddenly Ryan and Starr burst out laughing. I threw a pillow at Starr and said "Here!" and handed her Katrina's bookbag. Starr looked at Bryson "Who's the guy?" Asked Starr jerking her thumb in Bryson's direction. "That's Bryson. He's our new roommate." Starr smiled "Hi I'm Starr." She said to Bryson. Bryson just nodded his head and went back to unpacking. Starr arched an eyebrow, but smiled. "If you come to our room later, try not to have TOO much fun with Katrina." She said winking. I threw a pillow at her, "Out! Get out Twinkie!" I said laughing. Starr giggled. Suddenly she caught her eye on something. "Ryan what's with the dried blood on your arm?" She asked with a worried tone.

-Starr's POV-
I looked at Ryan worriedly. "It's not mine. It's uh.. Gracie's." He said hanging his head. I couldn't. I wouldn't. I didn't. I.... Tears filled my eyes. I think this is all my fault! I pushed Gracie to do that to herself. Now she did. Bryson was hot, but I have to go save Gracie.
