13 Reasons Why - Alex Standall & Justin Foley *Completed*

Chapter 10

Hannah killed herself, she slit her wrists and bled to death. How can this be? She seemed fine the last time I saw her. What could have happened the last few weeks when I have been ignoring her. I should have been there for her, but no I was selfish and ignored her. I need to occupy my mind and Justin is at home so I started to clean my room. 

I picked up every little thing I saw. I bent down and got on my hands and knees and pushed everything out from under my bed. I put my dirty clothes in my hamper and threw my water bottles in my trash. After I cleaned everything off of my floor I rearranged my dressers, taking out everything and refolding them. Then I went to my closet and fixed everything in there. I was done with my room and sat down on my bed. 

"Room's looking good kid." My dad said standing in the doorway. "Thanks," I said staring into my closet. "Justin is here." I looked over at him and stood up. He moved out of the way and I hurried downstairs to the front door. I opened the door and immediately felt arms wrap around me. "I'm so sorry." Justin whispered in my ear, running his fingers through my hair. "It's all my fault. I should have been there." Justin pulled away and grabbed my face. "It's not your fault. There was fucked up shit happening. No matter what you did." He said looking straight into my eyes. "Maybe she needed a person to talk to. That could have been me." I started to cry. "No, Alex don't cry. It will all be okay." I nodded my head wiping away the tears.

"I love you, Alex."

"I love you too, Justin."
