Nash's POV:

I unlock Grace's door and we see an unimaginable sight. Grace is sitting on the ground by her bed sobbing. She's holding a razor blade and her arms are all bloody. Shawn rushes over to her. He sits down and pulls her onto his lap.
I stand there in shock. How could she be doing this to herself?

Shawn's POV:

I sit down and pull Grace onto my lap. 'Why'd you cut again,' I ask her? 'Because I'm broken,' she answers plainly. 'Most broken things can be fixed so we're gonna fix you,' I say. 'You can't. I'm too far gone and broken,' she says.

I stand up and lift her up bridal style with me. I walk out of her room, followed by Nash, into the hall bathroom. I sit Grace down on the basin. 'Nash can you find me some bandages,' I ask? He nods and walks out.

I start cleaning Grace's cuts. She flinches back and cries harder each time I touch them. 'Shh,' I whisper to her. Nash walks back in with bandages and Cam follows him. I finish cleaning the cuts and gently wrap them with the bandage.

Grace is still sobbing so I move and let Cam pick her up. She clings into him and cries into the crook of his neck. He rubs her back soothingly. Nash looks at me and I half smile. We all walk out of the bathroom. Nash and I walk back downstairs. I grab my guitar and go outside.

I sit on the lawn and start strumming gently. I strum the cords to "She Looks So Perfect" and sing along.
