We headed back to our hotel, with out hesitation I run into my room and lock the door.

I hear a soft knock on my door I look though the peep hole and see that it's Jenna and not Tyler. I open up the door and sit on my bed, In silence

"I think we need to talk" Jenna says.

I start to play with a loose strand of thread from the sheets as she continues.

"Now Tyler was getting alittle upset because he dosnt know what is going on with you, have you started...cutting yourself again? Be honest I don't want you to lie."

I look up with her with no emotion present on my face. "No I'm not, I've just gotten sunburnt really bad today and it stings that's all"

"Can I see then"

Didn't think this one through

"I don't think I want to show you, maybe when it heals up a little but then I will"

She nods buying what I said.

"I'm getting really tired now so I'm gonna sleep now." Jenna nods and exits my room.

Before I go to bed I carefully but quickly check my phone and read the text from someone who I hold near and dear to my heart. I instantly type back in anger and go to bed crying.

I'm awoken around 3 for absolutely no reason at all. I decide a walk would be best for me.

~~~~

I make it to the beach below our hotel room. The sounds of waves overtake all my previous thoughts, new ones forming. The soft yet corse sand between my feet gives me a comfortable but worried feeling. Like I shouldn't be here. I find a nearby hammock and decide to sit there. I open back up to my phone and read the texts from last night, that were from liv.

Liv: Crystal, I think we need to break up.

Crystal: why? I thought everything was okay, that we were happy?

Liv: I've been thinking. All we do is talk over the freaking phone! Ever since you went on tour and now vacation we haven't been able to hang out! I literally try texting you all the time. You haven't made any effort to try to respond. I'm sorry crystal we are done.

Crystal: fine I see how it is..

Reading over those texts again and again. What did I do to her? I was so busy but I tried so many times to talk to her. We FaceTimed and whatnot but I guess that wasn't good enough for her.

I guess I wasn't good enough for her at all.

Now I literally have no fucking friends. None

You have me.

"You aren't my friend"

But I'm the only person you have left.

"I have Tyler and Jenna"

You really think YOURE gonna talk to them about your petty problems? Face it your just a weak pathetic teen.

Is neo right? I'm too much of a coward to tell Jenna or Tyler anything. And I just lost the person that meant the most to me. I don't have anyone, but neo.

I shake all the thoughts out of my head and begin to fall asleep on the hammock. The rush of the water drifting farther and farther away as I quietly lay.

~~

"Crystal!!"

I'm awoken to Tyler screaming in my face.

"What this time Tyler!"

"Why weren't you in your room this morning!"

I slowly begin to get up from the hammock and put my shoes back on, "I couldn't sleep so I came down here, why are you screaming at me like I did something horrible? God Tyler this is a fucking beach I'm not gonna kill myself or anything!"

I see the anger in Tyler eyes get worse, "how do we know that crystal huh?!? You have run off numerous times and if I recall correctly you did almost die!!! We can't leave you alone for 5 minutes without something happening now can we?!"

"God Tyler I just wanted to clear my mind okay?!?! Stop yelling at me like I'm some fucking kid, I'm not Tyler?!?"

"Well youre not an adult at all crystal!!"

"Just get the fuck away from me!" I immediately run back to my room and lock the door again. I faceplant onto the bed and just begin to cry.

It wasn't even 10 yet.

Not how I wanted to start my day at all

——-

Tyler's p.o.v

I storm off into my hotel room. Why is she doing this? What am I doing wrong? I walk in to see Jenna, Debby and josh all making plans for the day.

"I don't think she's gonna come out of that room anytime soon"

Josh stands up and walks over to me, "you wanna take a walk? The girls can finish planing"

I nod and we head back to the beach
—-

"Then after that she just stormed off and told me to get the fuck away from her"

"I don't think you should have approached the situation like that Tyler, she's just a kid after all"

I find the nearest wall and punch it without thinking

"Tyler..."

"I just give up!! I can't win with that child can I? No matter what I do everything ends up turning against me."

"Tyler, you need to just talk to her, no yelling or screaming. She's dealing with her own stuff she obviously doesn't want to talk about. How you approached her probably wasn't the best idea."

I look down to see my hand bleeding. Isn't this great "I just can't talk to her! She doesn't understand!!"

Josh sighs, "do you want me to try to talk to her? I know Jenna already tried and I don't think crystals comfortable around Debby yet"

I nod

"Also ty, how's blurry been? You haven't really spoken much about him since the day crystal went into the hospital"

I pause to think of what has happen since then, "Josh it's been really bad, he's just always there. I thought I could ignore him like before but I just can't. He's after me josh"

Josh turns to find a bench and gestures me to sit down.

"Tyler, you've done this before you can do this again. believe in yourself.  Blurry doesn't control you."

"I mean I guess you're right josh. I should have talked to you sooner about this."

"It's okay, just come to me if something happens with him. I don't want to see you getting hurt again Tyler."

"Okay josh thank you so much, I think you should go talk to crystal. I'm getting really worried about that kid."
