I sat on the couch writing in my notebook as all my friends were passed out. They were all suppose to be watching a movie but obviously that didn't work out.

I had no idea why they drove all the way down here but I was glad they were here.

Javen didn't even show up to school today. I had been calling her all day and she didn't even answer. Had me worried so I had to start writing in my notebook to calm my nerves.

I jumped when DaiJianna hopped up running to the bathroom. Then immediately I started hearing her throw up.

I quickly got up going to check on her. I knocked on the door lightly before going in.

"DJ you ok?" I asked as she continued to throw up. When she was finally finished I she flushed the toilet rinsing her mouth out.

"You good?" I asked and she nodded.

"This has been happening for a while now. I don't know what it is but I'll be fine." She said looking like she was ready to pass out.

"Hospital maybe?"

"No I'm just tired." She said and I picked her up taking her down the hall to a guest room.

"You can sleep in here ok." I said laying her down.

"Thank you." She said and I nodded leaving out. There was a knock on on the door and I went to go open it seeing Javen.

"What the hell are you doing here? This late?" I asked and she shook her head.

"It's cold Kentrell." She said and I stepped aside letting her in.

"Come on." I said grabbing her hand guiding her upstairs.

"You ok?" I asked and she nodded.

"Does your sister know you're over here?" I asked and she shook her head.

"Why you didn't go to school?" I asked and she showed me her wrist that had a cast on it.

"It's broken." She said making me shake my head.

"Plus people been sending shit like this to my house." She said giving me her book bag she brought. I opened it and there were notes in it.

I could feel myself growing angry as I read them.

They were notes saying she needed to kill her self or they were going to kill her. Do all sorts of shit to her.

I looked at her as she was silently crying.

I've never felt so bad for somebody.

"I didn't even go to school today and they still found a way to get to me." She cried.
