After lesson we had lunch, we messaged eachother, we ate and he held my hand.

I looked at him slightly confused but then I felt relaxed. I held his hand and put my head on his shoulder, he asked if I was ok... I smiled and nodded...

After school. I went home and did the usual schedule, get a knife from the drawer and thinking, one cut for being alone, another for being ugly... and slowly started to pierce my skin. At that moment I got a text saying:

***************
To: Sean

Happy birthday, I hope you know that I'm always here for you and I care about you a lot. I hope you have a great day ❤️

From Eli.
****************

I dropped the knife and fell to my knees...

I messaged Eli: sorry...

We had a good time at school, at lunch he looked really upset and I tried to tell him that I'm always there for him if he needs to talk... but I couldn't speak,  he Put his hood up and put his head on my shoulder...

When I got home I messaged him saying happy birthday and I hope he knows I'm there for him.

But he messaged me saying sorry... and he wasn't in school the next day.

He did tell me where he lived though, so I rushed over to his house and said to his parents that we need to revise, I couldn't think of anything else, they told me he is upstairs so I went up and into his room... and there I seen him lying on the floor, a knife beside him and blood on his wrists.

I woke up in the hospital, confused of what happened the night before, I had been told that I had been lying on the floor for a day.

I was really confused but then remembered what happened...

I can't believe I'm here... why am I here?

I sat up and saw Eli sitting in a chair... his hand on mine... he had tears in his eyes, his eyes where sparkling when I saw him... but he'd been crying...

He really does care.

I had no other choice, he was there for a day! He is so lucky he's my friend. If any harm comes to him, I'll be there. I'm sure he'd do the same.

I'm crying, I could've lost him, if any of us go then it'll be me... I knew I had to do something so as soon as he sat up I gave him a hug. He needed it. I threw his hoodie to him and he covered his face.
