*Cory's P.O.V*
I quietly trudged down the hallway in Xander's house. I had stayed there for almost two weeks. Today was Monday, and Xander had been pushing me to go to school but I didn't. I'm sure everyone in the town knew about my family, that would put me at a perfect state for Amear or someone to pick on. But I decided that I was gonna at least try to go. I was fully dressed, so I creaked Xander's door open to wake him up. Once in there I crept over to his bed and pounced on top of what I thought was him... No? He had pillows put under his cover. Maybe he had snuck out last night to go to a party or something and just went to school from there. Ugh I guess I'll just go catch the bus. I grabbed a quick snack to count as my breakfast and skipped to the bus stop and put my earbuds in and started playing Pity Party by Melanie Martinez until the bus pulled up. I was pretty much the only one beside Xander to get on at this stop, well Jacob and his sister should... I got on and sat in the very front away from everyone else. I sighed as the song went off and we pulled up to the school. Not one word was said to me as I got off the bus and headed to the gym to find Sally. I stalked across the middle of the gym, heading to my side of the bleachers. I glanced around and all eyes were on me. I shrugged it off and took a seat beside Sally. "Hey, have you seen Xander?" I questioned and she shook her head no. I let out a big sigh and got up, maybe he was in that little bathroom he was always in when he skipped class. When I got to the hall the bathroom was on I heard voices so I just slipped in between two lockers to listen.
"God I love you." I heard a voice, and it sounded a lot like Jacobs.
"At one point I loved you too... you ruined that..." God, it was Xander talking to him.
"But you kissed me!" Jacobs voice got slightly louder and I heard what sounded like a hand slamming into a locker.
"That was a one time thing... Understand that I love Cory...I only did that because he had being distant since the incident" My heart was crushed at those words. What was I supposed to do? Be all peachy after my parents just died? And he cheated on me. It doesn't matter, a kiss is a kiss. A tear formed in my eyes and I ran to and out the office doors to leave school. The lady at the desk gave me a questioning look but I guess she didn't say anything because she was so used to people leaving. It wasn't that far to get home. I cringed at the thought of Xander's home being mine now. Maybe Jacob made the first move. I decided to let the thoughts leave my head as I opened the front door and ran back to my 'room' and pulled out my box that was hidden under my bed, I hadn't used them in almost a month.. I didn't even when when Lisa and Ronald died. I was proud of myself.. I pulled the lid up and took out the sharpest one.
"Hello old friend." I smiled slightly as I got behind the bed and contemplated wether I should do this or not. I cleared my mind as I took the razor to my wrist. One cut.. Two.. Three..Four.. I kept on and on. Blood was covering my arm and I just sat there, hoping I hit a vein. But of course.. I didn't.. I was left, still alive, still holding on. I figure I should probably find somewhere to live. After all, I lost the only thing that kept me alive and sheltered. I didn't feel like getting up so I just sat there, probably looking pitiful. I looked at the small clock Xander put beside my bed and it was already 12:00.. Damn. My eyes shut slowly, I couldn't stay awake.. Before I knew it I was asleep, lying on the floor, covered in blood.
