I knocked on Aria's door with tears streaking down my face. Aria opened the door. "Hanna what's wrong?" I looked up slowly "Zack got into my car and gave me his number. I ripped it up after he left but he put his hand on my thigh." I said quickly. Arias face was twisted in disgust. "Hanna! Why do you keep going after my mom! Your the problem your always the problem! If you want to spiral out of control be my guest but your not taking my mom down with you." She shouted angrily. Crying I turned around and left. I passed my car and just ran. I ran for what felt like hours. As I was running I kept replaying Aria's words in my head. "Always the problem. Always the problem" I was sobbing by the time I got to my favorite spot. I cliff. I sat down and swung my legs over the edge. I was still crying when I pulled out my flask. I looked at it and set it down. I reached into my jacket and grabbed a blade. Crying I pulled up my jacket sleave and slowly dragged the blade along my arm. I felt the blood trickle down my arm as I sobbed. I was shaking when I slowly stopped and stood up. I looked over the edge and thought I could end all this suffering. All this rejection. All this pain I slowly stood at the edge of the cliff. 1 step forward. 2 steps back. I had to decide. It was an easy decision. Just before I took the step to end the pain I heard my name "Hanna?" I stopped and turned around looking at the person who spoke. It was Jenna. "Jenna?" I called. She took some tentive steps forward a questioning look on her face. "Are you...." Her question drifted off as she looked down at my arm. "Hanna" she walked forward and wrapped me into a hug. I started crying again. "Hanna what's wrong? Why are you cutting? Why did you look like you were going to jump?" I slowly explained to my enemy that Aria Emily and Spencer have been neglecting me and Ali has been living in my house and in my room and how I felt alone. Jenna let me cry and when I was done drove me to her house. She let me sleep on her couch and then went to her room. Just before I fell asleep I thought if Jenna hadn't have stopped me then I drifted off to sleep.
