Sydney POV
It's been 2 months since Ashton has been in school and I've never been more depressed in my life. Zoe somehow convinced me to go to lunch with her because I was being " too depressed"
On our way to the restaurant, we pass a park where Zoe starts to run to a tree seeing a boy hunched over by it. I start to chase after her yelling "Zoe what the heck are you doing!" I stopped running when we arrived but was bent over in exhaustion but when I stand back up, I see it's...Ashton? Zoe is standing there about to cry while I just stare in shock.
I was about to hug him when he falls onto the ground. Now I'm aware of how thin and bruised he is. I notice his shirt with some blood so I lift it up a little. "Um Zoe? You better take a look at this." I tell her showing a long cut down his body that was pouring out blood.
