Amber's P.O.V


Evan and I arrived at his house, no one but us there.

I had never met his mom, but I've heard them talk about her before. Her name is Heidi, and she's never home I guess....Where's his dad?

He unlocked the door and opened it before going on.

I followed, taking off my shoes as he had before I walked in.

He sat on the couch, and I followed.

"O-Ok...Now can you take your h-hoodie off?" He asked.

I nodded and took it off to reveal my loosely bandaged arms and dangerously skinny figure.

He stared at me in shock, looking at my arms.

I was skinny, very skinny, because I was anorexic...And I was bullied for it...I prayed Evan wouldn't start bullying me..
"Could you take off your bandages?" He asked.

I nodded and did so, revealing old and new cuts. Some healing, other still bleeding from this morning.

"Amber...Why would you do this?" He asked, holding my arm.

"Because I'm self-hating freak." I said, blushing, due to the fact that I was shirtless and hoodie-less in front of Evan.

"B-But you're not a freak....You're perfect...A-At least to me..." Evan said, his face red.

"You weren't born into a family with problems. You don't have a brother who has anger issues. You're not the one who gets bullied and called 6 because of your size. You're not the one who has a 'school shooter' and not to mention drug addict as a brother....You're not the one who once cut so deep on your arms that you passed out and almost died. You're-" He cut me off by hugging me tightly. I hadn't realized that I was crying so hard until then.

"I-I'm so sorry Ev." I said, wrapping my arms around him tightly. I thought that if I let go, I would lose him...It was like I finally had someone other than Zoe and Evelyn...

"It's ok..Don't be sorry..." He mumbled into my hair.
I was crying so hard. I couldn't tell if they were tears of joy or sadness.

"I-I finally have s-s-someone el-else other than Z-Zoe or E-Evelyn to care about m-me..." I was clutching his shirt in my fist so much...I didn't want to lose him.
