I've been staring at my scars on my wrist for about 15 minutes since I came home now, even though it feels like it's been hours.

I rubbed my thumb gently across the scars and closed my eyes.

I replayed all the horrible memories in my head as tears started to reappear in my eyes. Rider may have stopped me from ending my life but he stil haven't stopped me from stabbing my wrist and having my thoughts.

He will never understand what I've been through.

He will never know what it's like to be in my shoes for once.

Never.

The next day at school, like I do everyday, I avoided everyone in my sight. I didn't want to be punched in the face with their words thrown at me.

After dodging the huge mosh pit of students standing around in the hallway, I finally reached my locker.

I put in my combination number in the lock and opened my locker.

As soon as I opened the locker door, I saw a piece of paper fall out.

Knowing that it's probably another one of those hate notes, I sighed and opened the folded piece of note.

To my surprise, it wasn't.

"If people are strong enough to bring you down, make sure you're strong enough to get back up."

I looked around me, wondering who put this in my locker. But then I scoffed and shook my head.

I closed my locker and headd to my next class.

Lunch time came around the corner and I knew where to go as soon as the bell rang for it to start.

Everyone filed out of the door as I trailed behind. Once I walked out, I hurried to my usual place to eat lunch alone; the girl's bathroom.

But along the way, I ran into a familiar brunette with a smile on his face.

"Where are you going in such a hurry? Lunch just started." Rider said, shooting me a smile.

"I..." I trailed off, trying to make up an excuse.

"Want to sit with me? I'm about to head over to the cafeteria right now." he offered.

I shook my head immediately after his offer. I couldn't. Why would I risk myself to get humiliated in front of everyone? It's just too risky.

"I can't. Sorry." I said and proceeded my way.

"You know, hiding away in the bathroom won't change anything." I heard him say.

I glanced behind my shoulder and noticed that Rider was following behind me.

I stopped walking and faced him, crossing my arms.

"I'm offering." he said, "If you continue eating in the bathroom, nothing will change. You got to get used to hanging around in front of everyone again. Didn't you want to start over?"

I stared at him for a while, not knowing how to answer his response.

Start over?

How is that even possible anymore?
