"f-fine..." i walk out and lean against the outside wall, wanting to go back in.

"listen, i'm so sorry- wait you still care about us?" zach says. "zach, of course! i would never wish something bad upon you guys!" i say and he sighs. "you're such a good person- i'm sorry em..." he took a step closer to me. "it's fine, but our friendship can't instantly go back to what it was. i mean, you guys hurt me a lot, and emotionally. i couldn't handle it" i say. "emma, i-" zach starts but i cut him off.
"heh, no forget about it. i don't know why i told you that"

she smiles and laughs while moving her hair out of her face. i pay really close attention to her arms. i saw scars...
she has cut over us...
over all of this...
"emma, can i ask you something?" i ask. "go for it" she says. "d-did you ever hurt yourself after the break up?" she gulps. i can tell she's getting nervous. "n-no of course not zach! i would never do something like that!" she says a little quickly. i can tell she's lying.
"you're lying..." i mumble. "zach..." she says sternly. "i am not lying. so i recommend you leave..." i sadly nod.
why does she have to keep it a secret?
emma's pov
i lied...
i lied straight to his face...
i did cut over this...
i-i just didn't want him to think i'm someone who can't handle my problems or i'm not strong enough....
am i strong?
