(Inspired by the song Better by Ian Grey. Also this chapter includes depression and anxiety)

Zach's POV

I've been worried about my girlfriend, Kelly. She has been struggling with anxiety and depression ever since she was a little girl. We started out as friends, then we became best friends and then a couple.

"Hey mama, I'm going to go to Kelly house to check on her. She hasn't text me back in two days and I'm worried about her." I told my mom.

"Alright. I hope she's okay and be safe Zach." She told me.

"I will." I told my mom and then left the house to go check on Kelly.

Once I got to her house I knocked on the door and her dad answered it.

"Zach, I was about to call your mom to tell you to come over." Her dad said to me which made me even more worried.

"Is she okay?"

"No she isn't. She hasn't left her room in two days. She's locked herself in there and won't come out. She hasn't eaten since then either." He told me and I ran upstairs to her room and knocked on the door.

"Kelly it's me, Zach! Please let me in!"

She opened the door a crack and I saw her eyes which aren't her eye color anymore. They are bloodshot.

"Please?" I asked.

She fully opened her door and let me in and closed it once I was in.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Why are you with someone like me?" She asked me.

"What do you mean, Kelly?" I asked.

"I'm not good enough for you, Zach!" She cried out.

"Yes you are. If anything I'm not good enough for you."

"No Zach.....I'm ugly, fat, worthless, stu-" she said but I cut her off.

"Kelly, you are not ugly or fat or worthless! You are beautiful, your body is perfect to me and you are worth every." I told her as I hugged her.

"Can I sing a song for you?" I asked and she nodded her head yes.

Hey you
Worried sick about you
And here's the proof
Haven't slept at all but ain't that what we do
I'm here with you

3 A.M. crying from the telephone
that you're stuck in
Questions asked with answers that I cannot give
Let me in

If I could find what to say
Oh I'd make you okay
I'd stay awake till I could make you feel
Better, better, better, better
If I could find what to say
Oh I'd make you okay
I'd stay awake till I could make you feel
Better, better, better, better

Hey you
I'll pull you out of everything you fell into
Put the past behind you
Live your life anew
You'll make it through

10 P.M. you step out of the darkness to begin again
These demons that you're running from will never win
You'll always win

If I could find what to say
Oh I'd make you okay
I'd stay awake till I could make you feel
Better, better, better, better
If I could find what to say
Oh I'd make you okay
I'd stay awake till I could make you feel
Better, better, better, better

Oh woah oh oh

If I could find what to say
Oh I'd make you okay
I'd stay awake till I could make you feel
Better, better, better, better
If I could find what to say
Oh I'd make you okay
I'd stay awake till I could make you feel
Better, better, better, better

Oh woah oh oh
Better, better, better, better
Oh woah oh oh
Better, better, better, better
Oh

"I love you so much, Zach."

"I love you too baby girl."
