San Francisco, California
Zoë's POV

It was winter break and all I have done was just lay on my bed. I really wanted to go to the park but I thought it would be to cold.

I got a text from Jay and Tessa saying if I was okay because I haven't ate and haven't taken a shower. They were worried.

Tessa's POV
I was really worried about Zoë. She's been through a lot but she's taking it really far. She's starving herself and she smells. That's not healthy. I was on my way to her house while Jay goes to Braylon's because he's going through something tough as well.

When I got to Zoë's house it was the same just dirty and Filthy. When I got upstairs I heard something coming from Zoë's bedroom.
I put my ear to the door and heard her talking to herself.

"I hate myself. I hate how fat I am. I hate how I have no family. Or how I hate Braylon. He's ignoring me for nothing. I have know idea why he was ignoring. The last time I talked to him was when we were in 8th grade and the last thing I said was 'have a great summer!' Like what the heck. If I did something wrong then just tell me and then I'll kill myself!! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT BRAYLON CAUSE ITS HOW THE FUCK YOU ACT LIKE!!" I stepped back from the door and started to leave but the last thing that she said broke my heart into a million pieces.

"I just wish I was forever gone. Tessa and Jay don't deserve me. They should just hang with Braylon not me. They don't need to worry about me cause I'll just be gone."

Jay's POV

I was on my way to Braylon's house to go check on him. He was having a rough time just like Zoë but I feel like his is worse. But that all changed when Tessa texted me.

T: somethings wrong with Zoë
J: what's wrong with her😧
T: she's talking to herself and pretending she's talking to Braylon.
J: like what is she saying 'to Braylon'?
T: like if I did something wrong then just tell me and then I'll kill myself!! Is that what you want Braylon cause it's how the fuck you act like!! Somewhere along those lines.
J: did you go in cause if not don't go in she might take her anger out on you ok.
T: I'm scared Jay she's hurt. She's depressed.
J: wait till she is asleep and then go in to check on her and DON'T leave the house.
T: okay I'll see you later maybe.
J: okay bye.

Wow Zoë's is bad and I thought Braylon's was bad.

When I got to Braylon's drive way I knocked on the door and Braylon opened it.

"Hey" he said as he let me in.
"Hey how's it going?" I asked.
"Getting better. Can I ask you a question?"
"Ya go ahead."
"How is Zoë?" I froze of what he said. Should I tell him the truth. Or just lie where he won't be mad at himself and or be more stressed.
"To be honest she just like you. But..." I trailed off.
"But what? What's wrong with her?"
"She's depressed." I stated.

His eyes got wide and got watery.
"I did this to her. I ignored her after 8th grade. And now she's depressed. What have I done? I'm the worse guy on earth. I just wish I can help her but I can't. Cause I caused it." He went up to his room and haven't spoken to him since.

Third person

After Braylon stayed in his room all that week telling himself he was an idiot. It's just sad that Zoë has gotten worse. She almost committed suicide. This is how it went.

Zoë's POV

I was at the edge of the cliff. About to drop. About to release the pain. About to die.
I really want to do it. I don't care if I go to hell. All I care is that I get out of this place and never come back.

I went to the cliff when Tessa had to go to the store to get food. She's been checking on me to see if I'm okay. And I know she's worried. But she doesn't need to. She just needs to have fun without me. But jumping off a cliff is fun for me. I get to die and maybe see my mom. Probably not.

When I was about to jump I heard my name be yelled at and a arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me back. I looked at the person the pulled me back. It was Jay.

I struggled to get out of his arm cause he was strong really strong.

"Let go of me!!" I yelled at Jay
"Are you kidding me? I'm not letting go or out of my sight. Zoë that was the worst decision ever. Why would you that?" He said.
"I did it because I could release the pain but then YOU ruined it." I said tears streamed down my face now.
"You just need help and I will help you okay I'll let Tessa take Braylon while I watch you okay?" Jay said.
"Okay" I said as I laid my head on his shoulder.
"I'll take you home." He said as he picked me up and drove me home.

When we got home Tessa was there walking back and forth.

"Tessa?" Jay said.
"Oh my you found her." She said as she came over and gave me a big hug.
"Hey Tessa could you watch Braylon while I take over her cause Um... I'll text it to you." He said.
"Ya is everything ok with you and Braylon?"
"Ya everything is fine I just want to watch Zoë for now." He said.
"Okay bye" she said as she gave me one last hug.

Jay brung me over to the couch and got up and made some food while I watch tv.

Jay POV

While I was making some dinner I texted Tessa what happened back at the cliff.

J: she almost committed suicide
T: WHAT?!?
J: that's why I'm taking over to help her. And if Braylon asks if she is okay don't say anything about this okay?
T: okay bye
J: bye

I was done with the food and found Zoë still watching the tv.

"How you doing bug?" I said. She laughed at the nickname that I gave her.
"Doing better."
"Good."

Third person

Zoë got better finally and so did Braylon but then school started again and they still ignored each other.
