"What?" I ask him, "I dont have a house," he takes a deep breath. " My parents died a while ago and I've neen avoiding anything remotely connected to putting me in foster care or any orphanages." I'm shocked by this information. "Oh um... im so sorry." I say somehow through my thoughts. The rest of the day I think about Griffin. At the end of the day I decided to follow Gtiffin to... wherever he's staying. I follow him for about half an hour. We or he finally goes into an alley. I slowly creep behind him. I hide behind a trash can. He was mumbling to himself. I see him take out a knife, he lifts up his sleeve and I gasp quietly. So many cuts. He puts the knife against his wrist. "NO!" I shout at him, he jumps qnd throws the knife. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" He screams at me. "W-why?" I ask, "I already told you about my parents." But something as gorgeous as him shouldn't cut. "Don't do that please, I care about you." I say, wait did I just say that outloud? "Yeah fucking right the last time someone said that they-" He started tearing up. "Go away." He says "but..." I start "I SAID GO!" He screams. I start walking away, I hear him sobbing. Suddenly I hear something hit the concrete. I turn around to see him laying on the ground, surrounded by blood I run over to him and see one gash on his wrist. "GRIFFIN!" I scream, I pull out my phone and dial 911 "Hello state your emer-" I cut of a lady and scream into my phone "I Need AN AMBULANCE AT 451 LAKE ST. RIGHT NOW!!!!" I hang up and 2 minutes later an ambulance shows up and takes Griffin and I to the hospital. When we arrive Griffin is barely alive. I tell them to save him and they say there doing every thing they can. About an hour later they tell me there going to have to put him on life support but it costs $80. I throw the money at them. Yhey do it and say he's in a mini coma from amount of blood loss. At that point im sobbing next to his bed. I text my mom and tell her im sleeping over at a friends. She says ok, I feel bad lying to her, but I want to be with Griffin. Wait... did I really mean that? Whatever im tired. I lay my head on Griffin and drifted off to sleep. When I woke up Griffin was still asleep, please wake up. I start to cry again. I hear Griffin groan and I immediately sit up he starts to cough "Water." He grumbles. I run into the bathroom and get one of those mini cups and fill it with water. I run it to Griffin and he drinks it in one gulp. "Where am I?" He asks me I calmly say " we are at the hospital you passed out after you-" "THE HOSPITAL!!! We need to leave NOW, is there any place we can go..." he yell whispers "Scarlette," I say "We can go to my house!?" "Perfect lets go." He replies. We get to my house and luckily only my mom was home. "Hey ma wheres the fuck?" She looked at me with a happy smile and said something totally awesome "On his way to jail!" "Really!" I exclaim. "Yep, he came at me with a knife so I hid and called the cops, oh and whos this handsome young man?" "Mom! This is Griffin hes my partner for a project in school." I say kind of embarrassed. "Oh ok go work on your project upstairs and I wont bother you." She says, with that me and Griffin run up to my room "Hahahahahaha your mom is great!" Griffin said with a smile. "Yeah." We talk for about an hour until my mom asks if Griffin wants to sleep in my room "Sure, but I need clothes for tomorrow." He said "Well you can come with me and Scarlette to Hot Topic if you want?" My mom asks "HELL YEAH!" I say to her "Ok!" After that we talk for longer we go to bed, but before we do Griffin surprises me with a question I never thought he would ask "Hey Scar will y-you be my g-girlfriend?" He asks nervously.
