Say you still love me.

Chapter 21

"Good morning Kelly. How are you today?" Katlin, a very sweet woman who worked here said. I ran a hand through my hair and sighed.

"I feel okay right now." I tried to smile at her.

"How about some food." I was going to say no but every time I do they make me feel bad until I do...

"Um.. Okay." I stood up from my bed and walked into the hallway with her. When we got to the lunch room she walked back somewhere else. I sighed and grabbed a plate. I put a bagel in the toaster and when it popped out I put cream cheese on it. I set it on my plate and walked over to a table.

"Kelly?" I turned and saw Nate with tears in his eyes. I set the plate down and wrapped him in a hug.

Nate is a 16 year old boy who got bullied everyday for being gay. He has dark brown shaggy hair and grey eyes with purple in them, that are absolutely gorgeous. He told me it was a birth defect or something like that but they were the only thing bout himself he liked. He's just like me... I never thought there were others. I mean I knew others self harmed but I didn't know they thought like me.

"I can't." I shushed him and put my hand on the back if his head pulling him closer.

"We're doing this together remember." I looked at him and He nodded. "I can't do this without you." He sniffled and nodded again. I hugged him then sat down. I gave him half my bagel and we just sat there thinking. Not talking, but not minding the silence.

"So have you met the new guy?" Nate whispered excitedly as he sat next to me. I shook my head no as I ate my popcorn. Some of us Were currently watching princess bride and Nate is distracting me

I've been in this loony bin for about three weeks. Liam Harry and Gemma come by every few days to check in on me, and I think I'm getting better...

They make me do this thing were I stand in front of a mirror and say what I like about myself. Nate and I have every class together except the one on one sessions. And right now there's like five minutes left in this movie then the next class starts. Well for us at least.

Yeah it's odd... It's sort of like college. You have different classes at different times but we have three on Mondays, Saturdays and Thursdays. Then have two classes on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

The credits started to roll and I sighed.

"It's over come on." Nate said pulling me with him. I laughed and followed him to Mr. Freelands class. Because its Saturday we have three classes today and this one is anger management.

"Hello Kelly how's your day been so far?" I nodded.

"Pretty good actually." He smiled at me. Happiness radiating off of him.

"That's wonderful." I nodded and walked to my seat. I say between Danny and Nate like usual and I looked down at my book I started reading until I was once again interrupted.

"That's the new guy." Nate said cautiously this time. I didn't really feel the urge to look up though. But I felt odd, like someone was watching me.

"Okay guys we've got a new comer today." He paused. "Please introduce yourself and tell us what you do and why your here." I had that weird feeling again... Someone's watching me.

"Um.. I'm Louis. Louis Tomlinson, I'm in a band and Im here because of my anger problems." I looked up and he was looking at me as he spoke. I couldn't take my eyes away.

"Do you know each other?" Mr. Freeland said looking back from me and Louis. I looked away for a second and spoke

"Yeah. Um.. We do."
