I am sad I had to leave Calum. He was really cool and only one who stood up for me. Now I have to go to my stupid counseling circle. It's a bunch of people like me who have mental problems and need help.
"Ok now today we are going to be introducing our selfs and telling us what we are struggling with." My stupid counselor tells us.
"My name is Jennifer and I struggle with anorexia."
"My name is Dylan and I struggle with bipolar depression."
"My name is Ashley and I struggle with depression."
"My name is Joey and I have anxiety."
"My name is Daniel and I suffer from OCD."
Now my turn.
"My name is Alex and I have depression, I am suicidal, and I am anorexic." I say and put my head down and play with my fingers.
"My name is Calum and I have depression and I am suicidal."
As he said that I looked up in shock.
What? Calum's like me too? No wonder he stood up for me.
After the counseling session I tried to walk out of the door and I was stopped by an hand grab my arm.
"So what are you doing here?" Calum said.
"I think I should be asking you this?" I laugh.
"Well I have problems and I am guessing you have some too?" He says.
"Yeah." I chuckled.
"Do you want to hang out or get some ice cream?" He asked.
"Sure. I'd love to." I say.
"I'll drive then." He says and grabs his backpack.
We walked to a black car and he opened the door for me.
"So what kind of music do you like?" He asked.
"Sublime,GreenDay,Blink-182,Halsey, and Panic! At The Disco." I tell him.
Then he played GreenDay American Idiot.
"This one is my favorite." I tell him.
"Mine too." He says
The ride to the ice cream place was silent. But a good silence. Most of the time we sang to the music.
