AUTHOR'S POV; Dixie leaves the room and goes to her room, she scrolls through Instagram for a while, meanwhile with noah in his room
NOAH; [talking to himself] come on noah, now is the time, its now or never
AUTHOR'S POV; he takes a deep breath and goes into his bathroom and grabs his blade/pocket knife from the cupboard under the sink, he looks at himself in the mirror and says "what a disappointment, what a fucking failure" he looks down at his wrists and starts to draw line with the blade, the 6 thin red lines soon turn into streams and streams of blood all over his 2 arms, there was blood on the floor and the counter and dripping into the sink, he sits on the ground and thinks "it's time..." he holds the knife to his neck and is just about to apply pressure...
DIXIE; [walks in] noah, I'm sor-- NOAH?!!!!! [she screams and quickly grabs the blade out of his hands]
NOAH; what was that for?! [mad and doesn't look at her]
DIXIE; maybe because I don't want my fucking boyfriend to kill himself!!! noah! are you okay? like really? please be honest....

DIXIE; you know what! I'm sick of this [storms out of the room with the knife so he can't have it]

I got mad at her this morning for caring about me, I don't know what's happening, I'm getting mad at people even when they do nothing! and then she saw me doing this [points to his arm] and took the knife away, she helped me wash the blood off and then she asked me if it hurts and I yelled at her again, then she handed me the blade back and said and I quote "take it, if you wanna ruin my life, the twins life, and my moms life! go a-fucking-head" then I left to come here
BLAKE; I'm so sorry man [pats him on the back] take some time, but this [points to Noah's arm] this has to stop right now, I cant have my best friend hurting himself, and i think I should take this [takes the blade]
