"Oh, no good evening and welcome to AH or advice helpline, no like that?"
"Meghan, tell me why."
"Why what?"
"Why are there bruises on your back? Why do you have cuts?"
"Wait, you UNDRESSED ME?"
"No, why the hell would I do that?"
"Oh, because you saw my bruises and my cuts which I remember was perfectly covered."
"You vomited on yourself in my truck and you took your jacket off cause you said it was too hot. Once we got there in your house I carried you and you started stripping off your cl-"
"You watched me strip off my clothes?"
"No, I quickly turned back and I was getting your pajamas and I thought you were done but you weren't and I saw your back, what happened to that?"
"Wow I am stupid."
"Quit stalling, I thought your not the type who stalls Meghan."
"Okay, fine. I was in an abusive relationship. But you see I loved him and you do crazy things for love, that was my crazy thing.

He said he was sorry every time and I believed in him every time, that's where I was wrong okay?"
"How about your cuts? Your cuts are fresh, you did that to yourself maybe three days ago? Or two. I don't know, why are you trying to get yourself killed."
"Why are you so concerned about me?"
"You're my friend and believe it or not, I care about you. "
"I'm a freak, why are you not running away from me already?"
"Because I'm not like them. It's also not because it's my job to prevent suicidal teenagers to actually commit suicide or fix problematic people. I fucking care about you in the span of one month. Now tell me, please, why are you cutting?"
"I'm sorry, bye"
"You are not hanging up on m-"
