But who would love a girl who's depressed..?

Alex

*Jae's P.O.V*
Shit, this day is shit.

I decided to run off campus. I'll just come back before school starts again.

Hopefully Justin didn't follow me, I couldn't handle him right now.

I sat in an ally not far from campus.

"Hey, what's such a pretty lady doing here by herself?"

I looked up seeing a stranger smiling at me.

*Alex's P.O.V*

"Uhh.." she responded.

"Sorry. Where are my manners? I'm Alex." I said reaching my hand out. "You?"

"I'm.. uhh Jae." I can tell she was forcing the smile.

"So Jae, looks like you're having a shit day."

"How can you tell?"

"I can tell a fake smile from a mile away, trust me." I chuckled and looked back at all the times I used to fake a smile.

"Oh, well yeah. My day is shit." she said lowering her head. "Besides aren't you suppose to be in school?" she asked raising her head up.

"Today was my first day at school, but having anxiety and scared of what people might think, I decided to stay home and fake being sick." I grinned. "But I'm going tomorrow sadly." I lowered my voice.

"Oh, well whatever school you go to good luck." she smiled a real smile this time. "So may I ask why you're here?"

"Had a fight with my mum, she found out I was pretending to be sick." I laughed "Besides I come to this place a lot, helps me relax, besides no one knows but you."

"Oh, is that ba.." she was cut off by someone else.

"Jae, what the fuck? Why'd you run off?! And who's this asshole? Do I needa beat him up?"

"No Justin it's fine. Please leave me alone I'm not in the mood to talk to you." Jae tried keeping her cool

I can tell she wasn't in the mood, I think I should leave.

"Um, Jae. I think I better go.." I tried to interrupt.

"No, it's fine. Sorry." she turned to me then back to the guy. "Ok Justin, Please Leave."

"Fine, whatever bitch. See you at school."
He did not just say that to her.

"Excuse me!?" Jae yelled. "Look just leave me the fuck alone and we can talk about this later!"

"Are you alright?" I asked her while hugging her after that douche left.

"Yea, sorry my boyfriend can be a dick."
Ouch.

"Well, umm. I know this is so sudden, but if you need anything here's my number. I should probably get going. Bye, it was nice meeting you." I said helping her off the ground and pulling her into a hug.

"Thanks for everything." she whispered.

*Jae's P.O.V*

"Thanks for everything." I whispered.

I was thankful I met Alex. He stopped me from doing something I would've regretted. "But I think I should get going too." I pulled from our hug.

"Oh." he lowered his head.

"Hey, besides if you want we can meet here tomorrow?" I smiled.

"Sure, I would love that." he smiled back.

"Ok, well see ya tomorrow. I'll text you when I can. Bye." I said waving.

"Bye." He waved back and smiled sinking to the ground.
