*Mitch's POV*

Jerome pulled his phone up to his ear and started to walk impatiently. I just stared at him for a while. The way he makes his audience feel, the way he makes his friends feel and the way he makes me feel. I don't know why but when I'm talking to him, I get this butterfly feeling in my stomach that won't go away.

'Hey Mitch? Can I speak to you?' Adam asked, looking down at the floor. I said him what was wrong and he pulled my into a side room.

'Have You seen Jerome's Wrists Lately?' He said, Looking into my eyes. My mind worked overtime and My Eyes started to fill with tears.

'N-n-no, why?' I studded through my words.

' Mitch, there's no easy way to tell you. But Pete and I believe he's been self-harming.' He said- even his eyes were filling with tears.

My mind was racing with thoughts of why he did it. Problems with his mum, fell out with Adam, Arguments because of stupid things and me. I'm in that list. It's all my fault, What's the point anymore? I hurt everyone I love!

'ADAM?!' Someone screamed from the living room. There was no music playing, no talking, just silence. Adam and I ran out of the room to see that Preston had Jerome's phone in one hand and and piece of paper in another.

'Preston? What does the note say?' Pete asked, standing next to me now.

'Tick Tock Goes The Clock
The mouse climbed the two
He hasn't got long left so listen close
The ticks of the clock surround us all
Apart from one place
Go there and you will be dead.'
