Chapter 18 (Emma's Pov)

You know that one secret that everyone has that no one knows about even your best friend? That one secret that makes you feel guilty? That one secret that changes your life. Call me whatever you want I know Alex told me about her sister but what happened was way worse and today's the day. I never told anyone why? To be honest I didn't want to get judged just leave it in the past but you can't that's not how it works. You carry it with you everyday of every second of your life. I've tried to act like nothing happened did it work? No. Not one bit. So here I am laying in bed avoiding everyone's calls and text messages because your terrified. And do you honestly wanna know how it feels? Like shit. I feel like I'm hiding something I should admit to Alex my best friend in the world, the one that's always been their for me since day one. Dylan my boyfriend who always takes care of me and loves me for me. Chase who makes my best friend happy. And for what? To keep me feeling guilty? Yeah I may not be the best person in the world but I don't expect them to understand.

I stared at my own reflection in the bathroom mirror.

"Emma are you okay?" My mom asks outside the bathroom door.

"Yes." I lied through my teeth. I wasn't okay I felt like I was nothing.

I looked in the mirror then to the sink. I grabbed a bottle of prescription and opened the cap. I poured half the bottle in my hand. I Sat their thinking this was my only was out, my only option. Tears ran down my eyes. Why would I do this? Because I was a failure. My own parents even called me a failure. So why not just solve everyone's problem and leave? I cried for a minute until I had the guts to swallow half the bottle of pills.
(Now)

I took the pills. My mom found me and we went to the hospital were I got my stomach pumped. So here I am laying on my bed crying because of what I could of lost six years ago. You may think it's stupid but I think I'm a failure.

I kissed Chase at my locker and smiled.

"I gotta go to class." I said and smiled.

"I'll see you around then." Chase said and kissed me.

"Bye."

"Peace."

I watched as Chase left then grabbed my books outta my locker.

"Hey Alex." I heard someone say and turned around.

"Hey Dylan."

"Where's Emma?" Dylan says casually.

"I don't know honestly. I texted her but she never replied back." I say and Dylan nods.

"Thanks well I should ditch to go see if she's alright. I might get her to come to school if not then I'll see you tomorrow." Dylan says and I smile.

"Uhuh go make sure my best friend is okay." I smile.

"Tell Chase."

"Alright."
(Emma's Pov)

I layed in bed and read my text messages.
Hey Em where are you? -A
Hey Emma are you coming to school today? -D
Em your worrying me. -A
Emma is everything all right? -D

No everything's not all right. I should probably message Alex and she can tell Dylan.
Hey Alex I'm alright ty tho XOXO TTYL!! - E.

I waited a few minutes until I got a message back from her.
Alright we'll I'll text you after school XOXO. -A.
Okay. -E.

I through my phone down on my bed and went into the bathroom. I looked at the mirror, my reflection. I turned the water to the shower on and undressed. Once I got in I washed off and got out. I wrapped the towel around me and looked at me side. Marks. Marks. Marks. Cut marks.
(6 years ago in the hospital)

I was in the hospital a couple of days. Yes getting watched to make sure I was okay. But I wasn't. I waited til everyone left one night. After they left I went in the bathroom where I looked in the mirror. I'm alive. I thought. But I didn't want to be. I looked for a minute before punching my reflection. The glass shattered everywhere. I took a piece out of the sink and lifted up my shirt. Did I think about everyone else? No. I was being selfish. I cut my side deep and never told anyone. The next morning I told them I slipped and hit the mirror and it shattered. They believed me.
(Present)

I put my clothes on and layed in bed. Do you guys wanna know where my parents are now? Work. They don't care. Sure they'll asked if I'm okay but I tell them no and they leave. Their suppose to know when something's wrong but they don't.

I laye in my bed. No I wasn't crying. Tears were just running down my face. I fell asleep crying.

°°°§°°°
Knock, Knock, Knock.

I woke up to someone knocking on my door. I quickly got up and went downstairs. I opened the door to find Dylan staring at me.

"Hey Em I just wanted to make sure your okay." He said with comfort.

"Y-Yeah I-I am." I stuttered.

"Have you been crying?" He asked.

"N-no." I say and tried to wipe my eyes. Dylan pushed the door open and walked in grabbing my hand. I spun around until I landed on his chest.

"Be honest." He says staring directly at me.

"I uh Am being honest." I say looking away.

"Don't lie." Dylan stated. I sighted and pulled my shirt up uncovering the marks.

"Are those cut marks?" Dylan asked concerned. I felt his fingers run over them.

"Y-yeah." I say.

"What happened?" He cupped my face and said. I sighted.

"I tried to kill myself a few years ago. I failed. But I did cut myself." I said and he looked at me with. Concern. Love. Shock. And Care.

"Why do that?" He asked.

"No one cared." I state.

"People care Em. Everyone does. I do, Alex does, Chase does allot of people do." He says and I smile. "Why didn't you call and tell anyone?" He asked.

"I didn't think anyone would care." I say and his face expression changes to hurt.

"If you need me, call me. I don't care if I'm at school or asleep, if I'm having my own problems, if I'm angry at you. If you need me and if you need to talk to me, I'll always be there  for you. No matter how big or small the problem is. Ill be their." Dylan says and I smile.

"God how did I find someone like you?" I stated with a smile.

"How did I find anyone like you?" He smiles.

"Maybe it was luck or time." I say and he smiled.

"I'm glad I ran into you at the party." He says.

"And I'm glad I helped you." I smile and kiss him.

"I love you." He says.

"I love you to."
