I sit in the passenger seat of my mums car as we are parked in front of a small building.
"Well, listen to what she has to say." My mum tells me.
"Mhm." I say and exit the car. I enter the building and tuck my hair behind my ear. I look at the directory, I am supposed to go to room A265. I spot it and walk down a corridor until I see the numbers. I open the door with a shaky hand. I walk in to see a group of teenagers sitting on three couches that are placed in a triangle with a space open to let you sit down at each corner.
A woman stands when I walk in.
"You must be Cassidy Waltz, right?" She asks me. I nod my head as all of the kids' eyes watch me. "Well, come sit down. We were just about to start." I walk through an opening in the triangle and sit down next to a girl who looks a year or two older than I.
"Alright, so, we have a few new faces in our group today. That means that we are going to introduce ourselves and tell why we are here to get to see that you aren't alone." The woman says. "My name is Lindsay and I am the group leader."
"I'm Nate and I committed a week ago." A boy with long blond hair says.
"My name is Gina and...I harm myself too much." A girl with long brown hair and a beautiful pristine face says.
"Kayla, and I am depressed."
"Ryan and I'm suicidal."
"I'm Cassidy, and I committed suicide five days ago." I say when it's my turn.
A few more people go and then we have to start to talk about problems we have had.
"People pick on me at school for being a lesbian. They make fun of my younger sister as well, saying that I force her to have sex with me." A young girl says.
"What should you do when that happens?" Lindsay asks.
"Say mean stuff back." Ryan replies for her. I stay quiet as I listen to everyone tell stories of bullying and depression and Lindsay telling them what they should do.
"What about you, Cassidy?" I hear Lindsay ask. I look at her and feel my eyes water.
"Uh, I just. Um. Get bullied and beaten up. Cyber bullying has been a big factor." I tell her.
"What do you do when they bully you?" Lindsay asks.
"Cry. Harm myself." I say with a quiet voice.
"Have you told anyone?" She asks.
"Yeah, but they haven't done anything. It's stopped a little bit though. Only at school. But online it is getting worse." I say. I wipe my eyes before tears fall down my cheeks.

In the morning, I wake up and change into a sweater and black jeans. It's my first time back to school after I was hospitalized.
I walk out the door after I say goodbye to my parents. I walk down the sidewalk and approach my school. When I enter the hallway, dirty looks go my way. I ignore them and go to my locker.
"Hey, Cas." I hear a very familiar voice say. I turn around to see Hayley.
"You took my advice, huh?" she says. She is alone.
"Can you please leave me alone?" I ask her in a quiet voice.
"Why? You don't like it when I do this?" She asks as she slaps my cheek. My face stings as I cup my cheek. "You should really try again to kill yourself. Like I said, you can jump. Or hang yourself since it'll only take a minute or two for you to actually die. You should jump off of the train station roof, down the road. It's high enough." She finishes with a laugh. "Bye, Bitch." She walks down the hall, leaving me in tears. People look at me and laugh. I run down the hall towards the entrance if the school.
I push through the doors and run down the sidewalk. Then I see Matthew.
"Cassidy, what the hell happened?" He asks as he grabs my shoulders and pulls me into a hug.
"Matthew, I can't go back there." I sob into his chest.
"What happened?" he asks and looks me in the eye.
"Hayley." I say. He raises his hand and wipes away my tears. He picks up my chin and places his lips on mine. They move in sync as he slowly slides his tongue into my lips.
His hands slide down to my waist. I keep my hands placed on his chest as the kiss deepens. I need Matthew. Maybe, he doesn't need me, but he is the one thing keeping me here.
I promise that no matter how depressed I get, will stay here and keep fighting. For him.
