I cut myself, crying. My mom's gonna be mad at me for that one but who cares. I just wanted to feel something, cuz everything is kinda numb after Philip died.

His mom found out. I'm done for. I sat in front of my house waiting for the bus. How could I be here without him? I sat next to Dawn, because she lived near me and she decided to wait for the bus with me. "Hey, what's on your mind?" I just looked away and stayed silent. I felt a lump in my throat as I tried to not let any tears escape my eyes. The bus arrived and I sat down next to a random guy. Then I realized, fuck, that's not a random guy, that's Andrew. I scooted away and tried to sneak onto another seat before the bus driver noticed. Once we got to school I couldn't focus on my schoolwork. I just kept thinking, I could've stopped this.

It was in the middle of math that I was doodling on my paper and suddenly got a flashback to the dream. "Why did this have to happen? Why am I here?" it played in my head over and over again. Why did this have to happen? Why am I here?

Why did this have to happen? Why am I here?

"Ivy, get back to working. You can't focus in any class!" Becky said, passing out more papers, going by my desk.
