"Hazza!" I screamed as I ran. I was playing Minecraft in my chair. Everyone was following me. I took a sip of my third cup of alcohol. Mark still didn't tell me exactly what it was.

We ended the video at that, with both me and mark doing our outro. "I hope we do this again," I said. Evan and I decided maybe we should catch up a little.

"So hows the orphanage?" I asked. "About that..." Evan said trailing. "What?" I said. "I don't live there anymore. Someone adopted me." He said. I turned to look at the three adults in front of me.

"I was adopted by Wade and his girlfriend." Evan said. I looked to wade. I ran and hugged him. I then jumped off wade and hugged Evan. Me and Even stared into each other's eyes. We just smiled.

"I um... G-gotta go t-to um... Bed.." I said gesturing upstairs. "Night Mark, Bob... Wade.." I said. I grabbed my cup. I walked over to Evan and hugged him. I kissed his cheek. "Night." I said smiling. I walked past him to my room.

He watched me until I got out of sight. I heard him sigh and something fall. I smirked because I knew it was Evan fainting. I got in bed and went to sleep...

*morning*

I woke up smiling to myself. I knew that I would get to see Evan today. I went down the hall. "So what about her cutting?" Wade asked. I crouched down and listened at the front end of the hall. "What do you mean what about it?" Mark asked. "I mean how are you going to control it?" "Well, if she doesn't stop, I'll start." Mark said.

Wade slammed his cup on the table. "You can't be serious." He said. "Dude how else? You don't understand. I care for her a lot, and the only way for her to stop- " "No." Wade said. "If you do I will." Bob said.

"Bob, when did you get into this?" Mark asked. "I did the second you threatened to hurt yourself." "Look... Just because I may have to doesn't mean you have to..." Mark said forcefully. I looked down at my arm.

Why? I thought to myself. All I'm doing is hurting myself and Mark. I came out from the hallway. "Okay." I said stepping into their view. "I will stop." I said. "All I'm doing is hurting myself... And all of you.." I said trailing. "I'm sorry." I said.

Mark came over and hugged me. I felt something on his arm through the sleeve of his hoodie. I grabbed onto Mark. He pulled away and I grabbed his arm. "Your room. Now." I said.

I dragged him to his room and locked the door. "Where are they?" I said. He pointed to his desk. I searched his desk frantically. I found his blades. "Show me." I said. He pulled up his sleeve. There was one single letter on his wrist. H. I got tears in my eyes. "I told you." He said.

I jumped as I woke up. I ran to Marks room, as it was late. It was like 5 in the morning. I walked in. He had a blade in his hand. He was just about to do what I feared. I rushed him and took the blade away.

"I'm getting rid of mine." I said. "And so are you. I'm done." I said. "Hun... That would have been my first... I swear." He said. "I don't care. They are all getting thrown away. " I said. I went to my room. Mark followed me there.

I pulled out a box from under my bed. It was filled to the top with blades. It was a 3 x 4 box... So there was a lot of them. I took the box outside and walked into the woods by his apartment.

He, of course, followed me. I still had his blade in hand. It was dark, so I had trouble seeing. We walked all the way to a stream. We had marked the way we came, so we knew how to get back.

I took the box and pulled out a blade at a time. I looked at it. I carved an H on a tree. I threw that blade in the stream. I took Marks blade, and on the other side if me, I carved an M. I then threw my box in the stream.

I gave Mark his blade back. "Do it." I said. He took the blade and threw it. I hugged Mark. "I'm done." I said, wrapped in his arm. "Me to Hope, me too." He said. Well, Mom and Dad, I quit... I love you...
