(JAEDEN'S POV)
I got home, I ran upstairs, I knew what I had to do now, I was doing something wrong, I knew I deserved this. My hand reached down into the drawer in the bathroom, down to the razorblades, Deserving of the pain I was, it was my fault, nothing could ever be great in my life, it always has to go wrong. I was thinking of all the pain Wyatt had put me through, he was the burden on my life he was what I couldn't escape. I grabbed the razor and just as I was about to cut my forearms I heard a bang on the bathroom door, "open up Jae please" I recognised the voices of Finn and Noah screaming through the door. I quickly hid the razors and opened the door, Finn saw the tears going down my face and he knew what I was going to do, "Jaeden we're here for you, you don't need to do that". The two proceeded to embrace me in a hug, it would of been the first time in months that I self-harmed, I let myself down, I went to that headspace even after all I had done. The hug lasted for what seemed like hours, but eventually they both let me go, I sat down on my bed and stayed in silence, nobody wanted to talk, they were both plenty aware of what I was planning on doing and I was willing to bet they wouldn't let me go out of their sight. Eventually Finn broke the silence saying "you know Jae that it doesn't matter what that receding hairline little bitch Wyatt thinks, he's just jealous". I thought to myself how on earth would anyone be jealous of me but Finn elaborated, "you've got everything Jaeden, good friends, a nice lifestyle, your smart and most of all you've got a loving boyfriend, Wyatt has never been in love because he's too arrogant and he then looks at you, a less popular kid and wonders how you've got it, that's why he's mean to you". This statement from Finn made me think, maybe that's why Wyatt is mean to me, maybe that's why he does everything he does to me. It was at that point I decided that the moment I walked through those doors at school tomorrow, I wouldn't care about what everyone thinks of me because i've already got everything I could want. Noah and Finn stayed over for the rest of the day just to make sure I was alright and when they left at around 10pm I decided that I would get an early night for tomorrow, it was going to be a big day.
I woke up the next day on time, for the second day straight Finn didn't have to send me a wake-up text, I was ready to for school today. When Finn picked me up he noticed that I was more perky than usual, I had dressed nice for today and I was feeling confident. Once we drove through the school gates the surroundings were different but the vibes had definitely changed, I walked through the halls to get to my first class which had Noah and Wyatt in it. When I was walking down the corridors I got snickers from Wyatt's goons but this didn't phase me, it was a new Jaeden Martell. I walked in through the door and noticed Wyatt sitting near the back of the class and Noah near the middle, I sat down next to Noah and waiting for the perfect moment when Wyatt was looking over. I saw Wyatt move his mouth about to say something so I just slammed my lips onto Noah, Wyatt looked stunned as we had a nice kiss that lasted for a few seconds. "So you're alright after yesterday" Noah chuckled, we both just giggled to each other and got on with the lesson, throughout the lesson I would gaze over at Wyatt to see how he was reacting, his face was as red as a tomato and he looked furious. I knew I got into his head and for the rest of the day he didn't mention a word to me, I saw Finn at third period and he noticed that I was even more perky then how I was driving to school. I vented to him about how jealous I made Wyatt and he was basking in my glory, I knew this was a point where my life would change, I would become more confident and conquer my mental health.
On Friday Jack had to go on a family holiday, so this meant that Finn was left to third wheel with Noah and I. We decided to go to the Lakers game since it was preseason and the tickets were pretty cheap. Once we got into the arena and found our seats, we decided that we wanted some food, our seats were near the top so this made it a bitch to get to and from our seats. Obviously we made Finn go get our food, I asked for a hotdog and Noah asked for some fries, this gave me and Noah some alone time. As we usually do we just chatted for a bit until at a timeout in the 2nd quarter this kiss-cam showed us on the tv, this would be the first time I've shown public affection to Noah outside of school and of course we both didn't hesitate and we leant in for a quick harmless kiss. Finn saw us on the big screen as he was getting us our food and teased as the whole game once he got back, after the game Finn and Noah both stayed at mine, we quickly binged a mini series off Netflix, had a few drinks and went off to sleep. Finn had laid out his own mattress on the ground while Noah slept in my bed, it was a great night and reminded me of the great 2 months I had previously.
