One week later

"Bye you guys. I'm gonna miss you so much." I say hugging my friends. Adian and Dom convinced there parents to let them come back to Australia with me. "Flight 37 now boarding" the flight person said over the speakers. (A/n I don't know what the people are called so Yea) Come on Dom and Adian. Kegan trailed behind us. We boarded the plane. Me and Kegan sat next to each other and Dom sat near the back but Adian sat across the esile way.

"Alexus, please you haven't talked to me in a week." Kegan said. "Kegan. I would love to be friends again let's just wait a little until we can date. Besides, I'm dating Adian." I say. He nods and looks out the window. Adian ended up being able to switch seats because nobody was sitting bye me and Kegan.

I rested my head on Adians shoulder and looked at him. "I love you patrita." I say laughing. "You still remember that nickname?!" He asks surprised. I nod and laugh. "I love you too. Now go to sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there." He says. I look back down and close my eyes.

When we land I grab my stuff from the upper cabin. Its about 4am here. Adian and Dom walk behind me. We go to find Kegans car. Kegan hops in the front and puts his luggage next to him. Me, Dom, and Adian all sit in the tail gate. We drive home.

Kegan drops us off at my house and leaves. "This is nice." Dom says. We walk inside and are greeted by my mother. "Where the hell were you?" She asks angrily. "I left a note. I went back to Michigan." I say slightly backing up. She slaps me hard on the check. "Ok fuck this I'm done." I say. I punch my mom on the check and run upstairs with Adian and Dom following.

I lock my bedroom door and lay my bags on my bed.  "What the hell was that?! You just hit your mother!!" Dom yells. "Trust me. She deserved it." I mumble. "She only slapped you one time." Dom yells. Tears started filling my eyes. "Dom! Shes hit me way more then that! She fucking told me to kill myself more then once!" I yell,my voice cracking in the middle of the sentence.

The tears start streaming down my face.  Dom comes up and hugs me. "Is that why you do this?" He asks looking at my bandages. I nod. "But that's not completely it." I cry. "Dom, I get bullied all the time. I'm told to go hit a vein or kill myself multiple times a day. The school calls me 'the school slut'. I get made fun of because of my dad." I add. "Wait, what happened to your dad?" Dom says. Adian gives him a glare. "He was in a-a car aci- accident. He di- died." Hi cry. Both of the boys hug me.

I just let out all of my sadness. I cried into Adians shoulder and dom was hugging me. "Look. I didn't mean to make you cry." Dom says. "Its fine." I say.

Once I was dome crying and put away my cloths. "Give me your blades." Dom says. "Please. I- I need them." I stutter. "Give them to me." He commands. I pout and then go in my closet. I grab them off the top shelf and hand them to him. "Now promise you won't do it again." He says. "Ok." I answer. "Say it." He commands. "I promise I won't do it again." I say. "Do what?" Dom asks. "Cut." I answer. "Now say it all together." He commands. "I promise I won't cut again." I say looking down. "Thank you." Adian and Dom say in unison.

"Your welcome." I mummble. I walk over to my bed and plop down. My mom begins banging on the door. "Alexus! Unlock this door!" She yells. "Why?" I yell back. "So you can hit me in front of my best friends? I don't think so." I add.

There's a moment of silence and I hear some foot steps down the stairs.
My cat comes out of hiding and comes to lay on me. "Hi Milo." I coo.

All of the sudden I hear foot steps up the stairs. My lock twist and my mom comes in the room with a gun in her hands. "You don't fucking hit me!" She yells. She grips the trigger. I sit up and look at her. "Please don't do this." I plead. Bang. I covered my face because I thought it was aimed at me. I see Dom lying on floor.
