Invisible (A Max and Harvey Fanfiction)

Chapter 28

As soon as I walk into my class, I sit down and put my head down onto my desk. I was hurting and it wasn't stopping. Seeing him with Lexi made me realize that I really shouldn't have texted Tyler back. I miss him. I feel heat rush to my face and tears well in my eyes. As soon as the tears started they wouldn't stop. My chest heaves, I needed to leave the class. Thank god it hadn't started yet. I stood up, making sure my face was covered and I ran out. I escaped to the bathroom and opened a stall and sat there. I couldn't keep my thoughts at ease, why wasn't I good enough? How did he move on so fast? Why did I mess everything up? I started to hyperventilate. I couldn't stop. Soon enough my quiet cries had turned into full blown sobs. I needed to calm down, I wanted to calm down, but the thing was, I couldn't. I've never been good at calming my anxiety. Suddenly, intrusive thoughts take over. I rip open my back pack and grab the scissors I've always kept. And as soon as I put the blade to my wrist, I hear the bathroom door open.

"Autumn?" I heard a faint male voice. I tried my hardest to stay quiet but my breathing was still heavy and this boy could probably hear it.

"Autumn, I know you're in here, please come out so we can talk... I'm not allowed to be in here." Max? What was Max doing in here? How did he find out I was in here?

I stand up and open the stall door. He sees me and his face falls.

"Hey," he says softly before I collapse into his hug. He pats down my hair and talks quietly. I can't hear what he is saying because my thoughts are still loud.

"I heard about what you saw, Autumn, I'm so sorry," He breaks the hug and looks at me. "Show me your wrists." I put out my arms and he rolls up my sleeves. When he sees that I have hurt myself, he smiles. Which calms me down a little bit.

"I'm sorry, Max. I don't know why I decided to mess everything up. He was the best thing that ever happened to me. And I messed all of it up."

"Don't say that. Hey, how about I call my mom to come pick us up."

All I can do is nod my head. He grabs my hand and we walk out. Thank goodness it doesn't take his mom long to get there.
