-Alaskas POV-
I drank a cold glass of water while I stared off into space. The water came rushing down my throat as I swallowed. I looked at the time and it read, 4:52 AM.
I finished my water and headed up the stairs, still thinking deeply.
I hear a whisper, "Why are you up so late, Al?"
It was Josh.
"I couldn't sleep,"
That was a lie.
When it was 3:27 AM, thats when I drove a blade across my old scars left on my arm. Then, I cried for a couple of minutes before I got my water.
I pulled my sleeves down to cover my hands. I heard my soft cry as Josh hugged me tightly. He then started rolling up my sleeve. I grabbed his arm and looked down at his hand.
"No. Its fine, Josh,"
"No its not,"
I let go so he could roll up my sleeves.
"Seventeen," I whispered to him.

-Tylers POV-
I heard noises outside of my door. When I opened it, I found Josh looking at Alaskas arm. Alaska jumped when she saw me and pulled down her sleeve quickly. Her eyes make their way down to the floor, still holding her sleeve down.
"Seventeen," she said.
"Seventeen what?" I said, worrying.
"Seventeen cuts. I couldn't take it anymore. I've been hurting for a while and I didn't want to tell you guys because I didn't want you to worry about me. I-" she started sobbing and fell to her knees. She rolled up her left sleeve to show me the damage thats she has done to her beautiful skin.
I sat down and hugged her tightly. I moved her blonde hair to kiss her forehead and calmed her down. Josh sat down to her right and held her hand. She started growing a small smile.
"You're like a sister to me, Al," Josh said while smiling.
She laughed a little and looked at him. She then moved her head to look at me and kiss me on the lips.
(poor josh probably felt lonely)
She let go and smiled at me.
"We should probably go to sleep. It's almost 5:30," I said, looking at Alaska, then Josh.
