Chapter 2

"Do you want to hang out sometime?" I asked her. I didn't know her real name, but that's why I asked. "I'm sorry Gunner, but no." she said then walked off. When she was walking she droped her journal. I read some sentences out of it. The one that really caught my eye said: 'If you try to get help then don't expect that person to help you because they won't care whether you're alive or not'. I was wondering if she asked someone to help her and they didn't. I also saw a pin. It was very sharp and had a little bit of blood on it. 'Self defence maybe?' I flipped to the very last page and saw her number on it. I held on to the journal for her until the next time we meet.

~~~~~ Time Skip ~~~~

I was back at my apartment in Boston and I pulled out the journal and my phone. I started to text her.

Gunner: Lone Wolf, you droped your journal and I found it. Would you like to meet me at Starbucks?

Alina: Sure... But seriously drop my number... Meet me there now...

Gunner: K, I'll be there in 5 minutes...

I didn't lose her number, but now I know her real name. Is it just me or is she depressed.

I was sitting there impatiently waiting for Gunner so I can get my journal back from him. I look at the door and see Gunner walking up to me. "Did you try to get someone to help you with your depression?" he asked handing me my journal back. 'Oh no... He just had to read that.'
"You..." I said running off without another word. It wasn't my fault for being depressed, but I knew that he would be the only one that I trusted to help me.
