The next day at school wasn't too rough. 

At least, the beginning wasn't. 

James hadn't seen Thomas all morning, and was starting to think he wasn't going to show up. He was okay with that, he'd be able to pull through. But once lunch period arrived, James finally spotted Thomas. 

However, he didn't look so good. 

Thomas was running to the bathroom, tear stained cheeks and messy hair. His clothing looked very disorganized; a black and yellow long-sleeved shirt with magenta pants and white shoes. Thomas himself looked a mess. Distraught. 

James followed Thomas into the bathroom quickly. "Thomas?" James called out as he walked in. Said boy turned around and gasped softly, falling straight into James' arms. "What's wrong? Did someone do something?" Thomas shook his head, releasing a choked sob. James stroked his hair softly. 

"I-i just feel s-so, so bad, James... I w-want to apologize b-but they want nothing to d-do with me... I-" Thomas was interrupted by more sobs. James slowly rocked them back and forth, whispering little 'shh's into his ear. "I'm here with you, Thomas... It's okay..." he murmured, kissing his forehead ever so lightly. Thomas nodded, then slowly raised his head, wiping his face. 

James grabbed Thomas by the wrists, offering a kind smile. Thomas did the same, but James noticed a look of pain in his eyes. Slowly, it dawned on him. Gasping inwardly, James suddenly shot the other boy a stern look. Thomas' facial features scrunched in confusion. "What?"

"Thomas, may I see your arms?" James asked quietly. The color in Thomas' face had drained completely, confirming James' thoughts. "Wh-why?" the boy frantically tried to get away from James, but he had a strong grip. After a few struggling minutes, Thomas finally sighed defeatedly. He slowly rolled up his sleeves, and to James' horror, there were freshly scabbed scars littering the skin. Way too many for James to count. 

Thomas brought in a shaky breath, "I'm sorry..." James just pulled him back to his chest, feeling tears prick at his eyes. "Please don't..." he whispered. Thomas nodded slowly. "I'm so s-sorry..." he whispered. James just snook his head. "Don't do it again, okay?" Thomas nodded again.
