As I sat in the corner of the bathroom, I heard the voices outside, laughing and joking. Why can't I be like them? Popular, Pretty, Perfect. Perfect. I'll never be perfect enough.
"Woah! Umm... Hi?" I looked up to see a curly haired boy. I gasped.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Oh. Shit. I didn't realize. That this was the wrong bathroom." He was flustered and his face was a bright red.
"You know, I was just leaving." I got up to leave but the boy stopped me.
"I'm Harry." He smiled. I swear my jaw dropped a foot.
"H-Harry?" I stuttered. Wasn't this also the same guy who I ran into yesterday?
"Umm... Yeah." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. I swear he sounded so familiar but I couldn't place it.
"Sorry, I just know someone named Harry."
"Alright," He looked at the ground. "Are you okay?" Harry asked me.
"Yes, I-i yep. I'm okay. Bye," With that I ran out of the bathroom and back into the now empty hallway.
"Wait! Come back!" I heard Harry behind me and I turned around. He stood in front of the bathroom door about a foot away from me.
"What?" I snapped.
"I just...uh... I never got your name."
"It doesn't matter." Harry's face went white. Why would he do that?
"Can I tell you something?" He said after awhile. I sighed before nodding. "Last night, when I tried to call my friend Louis, I called the wrong number. There was this girl. She was amazing really. That night, I swear she was trying to kill herself. I didn't want her to go. She reminds me of you in a way. She told me those exact same words yesterday. All day today... I was thinking about her. I just want to meet her... and make sure she's living. That's my goal," It was silent for awhile. That's why he was so familiar. He was the boy who called me.
"Well congratulations... You completed your goal. Can I just leave now? I'm surviving now... but I'm not living. I'm the girl on the phone."My hopes of meeting Harry shattered as I realized who he actually was. I didn't mean to be harsh but if he stops me another freaking time I swear I wi-
He looked shocked, realizing the girl on the phone was me. "Don't," he whispered.
"Yes! THAT'S ALL I FUCKING WANT! ALL I WANT IS TO BE ALONE. LEAVE THIS WORLD! CAUSE NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT ME! CAN YOU JUST FREAKING LEAVE IT AT THAT? I WANT TO DIE OKAY?" I screamed at him. He looked terrified but he held his ground. I sunk to the ground, collapsing into my self. I hugged my knees, tears streaming out if the corner of my eye.
" It's okay. Shh," Harry knelt down beside me and gently rubbed my back. I gently leaned into him. Just a bit. I was exhausted and weak. Harry looked behind us to see a few teachers stick their heads out of the classroom doors.
" Bria, you can't leave. You have so much to live for. It gets better. It really does."
"There is nothing for me to live for, Harry." I hated crying in front of him. I didn't know him and it just felt so weird.
"Bria... Give me a month. In that month, I'm going to show you all the things worth living for. I'm going to show you that there is more to life than just... this." I looked up at him.
"It'll never work." I whispered.
"It doesn't hurt to try."
"You've never been hurt," I mumbled.
"Come on, let's leave school. It doesn't matter. Come on, Briana." He helped me up and I looked into his eyes. Harry smiled at me before taking my hand and leading me out into the rain.
"Bria, follow me," We ran, our feet hitting the wet pavement. We finally made it under a gazebo. I looked down at my clothes. Seeing the dampness of them. I let out a laugh.
"Number one," Harry smiled at me. " Live for laughter,"
