"hey dan, i'm going to school today." i said into the phone. "come pick me up?"
"yeah." he answered. "i'll be there in five minutes."
we said our goodbyes and i started getting ready. i put some foundation over new scars on my wrists, did subtle makeup and got dressed. "that should do it." i sighed, wiping away the tears. you could still see the dark circles around my eyes.
"hey," dan knocked on my door. "are you ready?"
"yeah." i nodded. my voice was a lot smaller. "hey, cheer up. after this, how about we get some sushi with phil and mark later?" dan rubbed my shoulder. "sure." i sniffled. he hugged me for a brief moment, and then we were off.
