Speech-less

 My Ex-boyfriend and I are really great friends. The first week us being apart was kind of rough, but eventually the drama settled down. We talk everyday and enjoy seeing each other. He can be a bit of a conservative person at times, but other than that, he is.... well, ENERGETIC! He is always laughing and happy. But, the past few days, I noticed something was wrong with him. He went catatonic for about one day. He just completely shut off. So I just thought that he had a bad day. I dropped it and moved on to the next day. He was talking, but not in his usual way. He was slightly less roudy, and he was very suddle in his movements. I asked him what was bothering him, but he just wouldn't talk. 2nd period rolled around,  And that's when I heard that he had gone off on one of my friends, and he had stolen $10 from her. I was surprised. He would never do that! I thought to myself. I was very confused, and I knew that I needed to talk to him. Lunch time rolled around, and I had signaled him to come over. He did, but he looked as though he thought i was going to hound him. I told him i wasn't, I just wanted to know what was going on. That's when I saw them. The cut's. Three long red lines, running down his right arm. I was speechless. I just didn't know what to say. I grabbed my backpack, and walked away from him, and left the lunch room, Speech-less.
