Kyle's pov
After school we walked to my house. When we got there jess was amazing at how big my house was. (Above) "woah." Was all she could say. "Come on let's go meet my mom." I said she nodded and took my hand we walked into my house "Kyle is that you dear?" My mother asked "yea mom it's me." I said she walked out of the kitchen. We both had set our stuff down "oh kyle I see you brought a friend, first time you've brought a friend in a long time yet alone a girl." She said sweetly "mom this is jess, jess the is my mom." I stated jess walked up to her and shook her hand my mom immediately noticed her scars on her arms "oh sweetheart what happened to your arms?" She said "oh um... it's a long story that I would rather not talk about." Jess said my mother nodded "so kyle when did you meet jess?" My mother asked "oh yesterday." I stated jess walked back over to me and held my hand again. My mother looked confused. "Oh yea I forgot to mention, jess is also my girlfriend." I said my mom looked shocked "Kyle you finally found a girlfriend?" She said bluntly I got embarrassed "mom..." I said "oh sorry dear." She said jess giggled a little "anyways I'm proud of you kyle for finding such a pretty girl." My mother said jess blushed at the comment "come on jess let's go up to my room." I said she nodded and followed me up the stairs. We got to my room. And we walked in and sat on my bed. "Kyle, what was your mom talking about, you never bringing friends over?" Jess asked "oh I'm basically like you no friends, I lost most of them after my dad passed from cancer, I became depressed and also tried to commit suicide but only once." I stated "how were you gonna do it?" She asked "I was gonna try to overdose, but my mom heard me sobbing and came to check on me, when she found me trying to get the cap off the bottle, she took it away immediately and I fell to ground and began crying uncontrollably, she had an ambulance come and they brought me to the hospital." I said with tears forming in my eyes "kyle..." I cut jess off "my dad passed when I was 13, so 3 years ago. I tried to commit suicide last year." I stated a single tear rolled down my cheek. "Kyle it's okay." Jess said "I know but since my dad died I stopped bringing friends over, I never had a girlfriend friend, so last night was my first kiss." I said "kyle, you were exactly like me." She said I rolled my sleeve up to reveal at lease 25 scars. "Kyle... you have 5 more than me..." jess said I nodded.
