Why me?

Why did you do it?!

* Devan's POV *
It wasn't a good day to start of in school. Elizabeth has been receiving hates since morning and now it's nearly end of school. Most of it was about her liking me and trying to steal me away from Amanda. I know it's unbelievable. All of this rumours originally started from Amanda herself. Like who else could it be. She's putting this too far! I mean why would she want to hurt a so precious and cheerful girl. Arghh, this is stressful. I hope Elizabeth don't take it too hard. I don't want her to get hurt. If she's hurt, I'm hurt too.

* Elizabeth's POV *
I can't believe with what is happening right now. Almost everyone is hating on me but some of them aren't because they know me well but still, I'm wondering who is creating those rumours about me liking Devan. I don't like him. Maybe I do? No I can't like him, he is my best friend. I don't want to add more problems to this massive problem.

***

I can't take it any longer. Those hates are too much for me. I think I'm just useless to the society and worthless daughter to my parents. Why am I so careless. Why do I have to make people hate me? Why am I even living in this world. I just can't take it anymore. I need to release the pain inside of me. What should I do? What should I do?

And then I remembered there is a razor in my bathroom. I went there and took it.

The first cut is for disappointing my parents. The second cut is for not standing up for myself. The third cut is for not being strong. The fourth cut is for having a caring friend that don't deserve to be my friend which is Devan. The last cut is for existing in this world. I'm sorry.

* Devan's POV *
I'm at the mall right now. I'm thinking of what to buy for Elizabeth because I wanted to cheer her up and also wanted her to know how much I really treasure our friendship. What should I buy for her though? I want it to look nice on her and the same time it's obvious for people to see. Wait, who am I kidding? She looks nice in everything that she wears. I think it would be perfect to buy her a friendship bracelet and no I'm not going to buy the girl's one for myself. I hope she likes my present.

* Elizabeth's POV *
The only person that I trust right now is Devan, besides my parents. I really cannot ask for more. Devan is literally the only person that understands me and always there for me when I'm at my lowest. I hope our friendship last forever.

Finally it Friday! I hope there is no more rumours and hates in school. Right now I don't feel like going to school but remembering that I will see Devan's smiling face infront of the school door waiting for me is the only thing that encourage me to go to school right now. I don't know what will happen if he isn't there or doesn't exist. I'm just going to wear something simple and I need to wear something long to cover up my cuts. I think demin jeans and a baseball shirt would be nice. Well here comes school.

* Devan's POV *
It's been 5 minutes waiting for Elizabeth. I can't wait to give her the bracelet. I hope she likes it though. Well here comes nothing. Oh speaking of the devil, here she comes!

"Hey Devan!"

"Hi princess,"

"Hahaha, no."

"I was just kidding. Anyways, I went to the mall yesterday after school and I bought for you this,"

"Oh my god! It's beautiful!"

"I know,"

"You shouldn't have done that you know!"

"I know but I wanted to, and this symbolizes our friendship and also how much I really treasure it. I also got one! So we match!"

"Aww that's so sweet of you! Thank you Devan!"

"No problem. You wanna put it on now?"

"Yes please!"

With no hestation, she pulled her left sleeve a little and I was not expecting the thing that I was seeing. I put on the bracelet and then I didn't say anything much. I was disappointed. I wasn't expecting her to self harm. I think I was zoning out for awhile because she said something and I didn't hear it at the first time.

"Huh?"

"I said, you saw it didn't you?"

"Yes, but why did you do it? "

All of a sudden she started crying and also trying to talk in between sobs.

"It was too depressing with all the hates and rumours. I just thought that I was worthless to my parents, useless to the society and too much to have a good friend like you. I thought that if I did this, it will release the pain inside of me a little and it did,..."

"STOP! You are not worthless not useless. You are a nice person Elizabeth. There's always someone that will not like us, you know. Please don't do it again. I promise I will always be here for you because I love you and you're my best friend."

And with that I gave her a long and sincere hug. I've never been so sad like this in my entire life. She is hurt too much. This must come to an end!
