Jake's POV:
I don't know what happened...I don't know why it happened...why did I cut myself I was constantly reminding myself as I stared at the cuts running along my arm, then I remembered why and it only made me want to cut more. I started cutting because of the hate, people think that I'm this strong person not eh outside who doesn't let things get in my way but in reality I'm not, on the inside I'm being hurt by all the hate and I just retention like it doesn't bother me and say 'dab them haters'. I pulled a razor out from under my bed and I stared at it for a while, I was debating on whether I should do it or not, I thought about how much Tessa loved and how much I love her and it made me drop the razor onto the floor.

Tessa's POV:
I walked into Jake's room to check on him, I see him fast asleep but a razor on the floor beside his bed. I walk towards the razor, I pick pick it up and examine it for a while to see if there was any blood on it, there wasn't but then I accidentally cut my finger. I screamed in pain waking up jake.

Jake: "babe?!" He yelled in a voice tone sitting up on his bed.

Tessa: "shit, I cut my finger" I said as I held my finger with my other hand.

Jake: "c'mon, sit here" he signaled his hand patted the bed. He got up went in his bathrooms dm came back with a small bandaid. He wrapped it around my finger.

Tessa: "thanks" I said smiling.

Jake: "your welcome princess" he said back smirking.

Tessa: "jake can I ask you a question?"

Jake:"sure go for it" he said getting comfortable on the bed next me.

Tessa: "I just got a little cut on my finger fork that razor and you cut your arm with that razor on your own will, how do you do it?" I asked him.

Jake: "I guess when you start cutting, the only thing on your mind is to get the anger out so you take it out on yourself instead of hurting others" he explained.

Tessa: "I'm taking you to boxing next week" I ordered.

Jake: "you know what Tessa?!" He tripped

Tessa: "what?" I asked confused

Jake: "I'm honestly just so done with all of this shit, you constantly bossing me around, treating me like a little child, I know how to take care of myself Tessa, just do me a favor and stay out of my business!" He yelled

Tessa: "I'm sorry jake, I was just trying to be a good girlfriend" I said looking down at the floor feeling bad.

Jake: "friend, Tessa, you were trying to be a good friend." He said backing up from near me.

Tessa: "if that's how you feel" I said crying and I ran to my room and locked the door, I didn't come out for the entire day but I heard jake laughing downstairs having a good time.

Jake's POV:
I felt bad for what I had done and I don't know what got into me, I just tripped and started taking out all my stress on Tessa, which was wrong. As I saw her run off to her room crying I wanted to go comfort her but I didn't, I just left her alone. I decided that maybe this is what the universe wanted for us because I wouldn't have just tripped and break up with her for no reason but I did and I just left it that way. Even though I knew I didn't feel the same way as the universe did, I still let her sit and sob in my ungratefulness towards her.

Tessa's POV:
I tried to get over the whole jake incident but I can't, I cry everyday and I can't see to move on from him, maybe I just need a push start that would still probably do no justice to me. I had barely spoken to Jake since we broke up, he'd try to but I'd just ignore him. It's funny how one minute you can go from the best of friends to the worst of friends. I noticed he was continuing to cut his arm though and even though I wasn't talking to him, I still cared for him. I know the password for his social media's and he knows the passwords for mine. I logged into Jake's social media's and changed all his passwords so he wouldn't be able to receive any further hate.
