Ella's POV

I looked at it. I know I shouldn't, but I need it. I knew I shouldn't, I gave them up-- God will understand.

I grab the enemy and climb out the window and go up on the roof.  I open the box and pull death out.

I light it up and breathe in the chemicals. I look at the moon and just start sobbing

I must of been sobbing loud, because then there was a soft knock on the door

"El", Henry tried

I ignored him

"El", he said getting closer to the window

"Go away", I said between sobs

"Make me", he challenged

I just put the smoke back in my mouth

"Can I have some", he asked

I just ignored him 

"I'm not as good as I look you know", he said

"I used to smoke and drink", he continued

Silence

"So I ask again, can I have some", he asked

I thought about it and handed it over.  He sucked it an never even swallowed. He just threw it

"I'm sorry. I may of been a badass, but I didn't smoke"

"You wanna come in, it's cold"

I shake my head

"I get it", he said

"You know, I know what you're going through", he said

"No, no you don't", I finally said

"But I do"

"How", I ask refusing to look at him

"You know where my dad is? Mhm? Prison"

Silence

"Son of a bitch molested me every day of my fucking life.  For 6 years after I turned 5. I thought it was normal, that every dad did it"

"Shit", I mumbled

"So it's not just you, who is suffering okay", he said getting mad

"So you know what, you sit here and cry about how much you're gonna let a low life jackass ruin your whole life. I'm going to my room"

He ducked through the window and slammed the door

Maybe he's what I need. Maybe he can help me through it?

I finally came inside and I went to his door, I tried to open it, but it was locked

Bullet to the heart that was. I went to my room and tried to sleep, missing the warmth.

#$%^&*&^%$#

Henry's POV

She tried to get in, but the door was locked. Why? Because I was crying into my pillow. I don't know why I got so mad when I was out there with her.  I was in the same position as her back then. Maybe because it happened to me for years, and only to her for 20 minutes. Either way I feel asleep cold and empty.
