Forever and Always

I trust you

Cara's POV:
I just stand there. Tears are rolling down my cheeks.
Why?
Why?
Why?
That's my only question. Why would Joe do this to himself? I just don't understand, he seemed so cheerful. Everyone is just staring at me with a sad expression, probably wondering why I care so much. 'I..I'm going to go after him.' I say quietly. Everybody nods in response, approving. 'I'll go with you' Zoe says with a sad smile. Of course she has the right to, she's his older sister. Zoe gently takes my hand and we walk up to me and Joe's room. We hear whimpering from the bathroom and share a sorrowful look. I knock softly on the door.
'Joe?' Joe I know you're in there.' I say.
'Joe open the door. Please open the door.' Zoe begs.
Silence.
A few minutes of waiting we hear the click of a lock. Me and Zoe rush into the bathroom and find Joe sat on the floor with some sharp bits of metal, which look like they've come from a sharpener. His arms are covered in blood. 'Oh Joe!' Zoe sighs, and bursts into tears, running to hug him. I silently follow, tears sliding down my face.
'I'm s..sorry. I'm s..so p..pathetic' Joe stutters, teary eyed.
'Joe don't be sorry! You are not pathetic. You are beautiful and strong. You are hilarious and amazing. You are the most incredible person I've ever met. Please don't doubt yourself Joe. Please.' I say soulfully, meaning every word. Joe's eyes widen as I say all these things, probably thinking that the things I'm saying aren't true...even though they are.
'I trust you two. I'll tell you everything.' Joe says timidly. Me and Zoe look at each other, and brace ourselves.
So Joe tells us everything. He tells us how he has been depressed for months, how insecure he is about being skinny, how he hates himself and other reasons why he self harms. He basically pours out his soul, not bothering to hold back tears. Me and Zoe listen intently, and all we can do when he finishes is give him the biggest hug we can, and take away his blades. Zoe cleans him up, and I give him a kiss on the cheek, causing him to blush adorably.

Caspar's POV:
We've heard everything. By 'we' I mean: Tyler,Troye,Connor,Grace,Hannah,Marcus,Niomi,Tanya,Jim,Alfie and Louise.
We heard every little thing, and I couldn't feel worse. None of us meant to eavesdrop, we just came up to Joe and Cara's room to see if everything was alright, and we arrived just in time to hear everything Joe said.
Everything.
We all go and sit on the king size bed, not looking each other in the eye. Joe, Cara and Zoe exit the bathroom, and walk over to the bed. Joe gasps and Cara turns pale. 'Did you.. how much.. hear?' Joe clearly can't get his words out, but I look at him and nod. 'We heard everything'I say softly. Joe looks as if he is about to faint, and flops down onto the crowded bed. I can't help but stare at his arms, and I start to cry. 'I'm sorry. You all hate me, and think I'm pathetic and weak. I get it.' Joe says sadly. Everyone just looks at each other, waiting for someone to say something. 'Actually Joe, we all love you, and think that you're amazing, and strong' Alfie says. I hear Cara whisper to Joe 'See!'.'Well, you guys deserve to know. I love you all loads, but this isn't the way I expected people to find out- also I didn't want this many people to know.' Joe says quietly. We all engulfe him into a bear hug, and that's how the day ends.
Talk about depressing.

A.N/ hey guys, I hope you're enjoying the story so far! I promise it will lighten up, and there will be lots of cuteness and teasing and shy kisses between Joe and Cara soon ;) Love you!
