I feel terrible. Matt has checked on me every morning since the cutting incident. He drives me to school now and stays awhile on weekends. I've worried him sick, and its eating me up. Its obvious that I've hurt him. This is all my fault. I cant hardly sleep anymore, but he doesn't need to know that. He worries enough already.

I start to walk home from school, wishing Matt was with me. Come to think of it, it was odd that he wasn't... He had walked home with me most days, and he never missed any school at all. But today was different. He checked out in our last period, saying he had a doctor's appointment.

Still, You've got to do what you've got to do, I guess.

On the way, I stop by a vending machine to get a drink. After a seconds thought, I get two diet cokes. Im sure he'll be over tonight or at least tomorrow. We can share them then.

Comes in hand, I got to my front door. After tucking one of the cold drinks under my arm, I dig out my keys and unlock the door. It was unusually dark and quiet. All of a sudden, the cold, stiff finger of fear gripped me. I don't know why, but my house almost felt... ominous. I take a deep breath as i close the door, preparing to bolt up the stairs, when "SURPRISE!"

"AAAAHHHHH," I scream as a sudden chorus of voices erupt into the still air. Startling me as the lights come on, and im bombarded with an array of colour that didn't belong.

Today... was March 1st... my birthday.
