Dealing with Depression- SoarinDash

What hurts more? Words or Actions

-Sunset Shimmer POV-

I arrived at school earlier than normal hopeing to catch Rainbow and check her arms to make sure she wasn't cutting still but I saw something I didn't expect.

She was by her locker cleaning off what looks like silly string and yellow sticky notes off of it. I ran forward, “Rainbow!”

She froze like a deer caught in headlights witch made me curious. “What happened?”

She didn't answer but I looked at the different sticky notes and was shocked at what was written on them.

Slut

Nobody

Big Waste

Burdon

Fat

Hoe

I looked at her shocked. “Rainbow, surely you don't believe any of these things! They're all lies! Trust me. Trixie and her tiny group are the only ones that think this way. Everyone else thinks that you're a beautiful, athletic, incredible, and virtuous girl. You shouldn't let these words get to you!”

She continued to stare at the floor avoiding eye contact, “Trust me. They might be the only ones that voice it. But people's actions tell me the exact same things.”

Tears were in our eyes as I wrapped my arms around her, her sobs easily being heard as we sat went to the floor the graffiti in her hands falling all over the floor.

We like that for a while before we heard a small gasp behind me.
We looked to see Scootaloo holding some of the notes tears brimming her eyes. “Rainbow…” she said barely hearable. “Who did this?”

Before another word could be said, Rainbow super spead away no doubt still crying. Scootaloo looked at me. “What's going on?” She asked sounding heartbroken.

I sighed wiping tears. “Help me clean this up. I'll explain while we do.”
I began to explain everything. Her Suicidal Depression, how we found out, everything. It did take awhile, but we did finish getting the last of the sticky string out of the vent and hinges by the time I finished. Unfortunately by now Scootaloo also was silently crying a river. Couldn't exactly blame her.

“All of this was happening.” She said voice cracking, “And I never realized?”

I went down to her height and gave her a tight hug. “It's ok. I didn't know either. All we can do now is show how much we really do care for her. That she's not a waste of space or a burden like she thinks. She needs help Scootaloo. Crying about it won't do anything unless we're crying along side her." I let go and wiped her tears. “Will you be willing to help us?”

Scootaloo nodded before swallowing and saying, “Anything for her. She's practically my older sister. I can't lose her.

People started to fill the halls after a few more minutes so she went to class while I pulled out my phone to call Rainbow and make sure she's ok. But when I tried, it went to voicemail.

I tried again only to find the same result. I began to panic slightly. Did she… No she wouldn't. Right?

Not knowing what to think and getting even more scared I called Soarin. “Hello?” I heard after the 2nd ring.
