jordan's POV

That afternoon, after school, I walked home just thinking. Why was Jordan  so nice to a pathetic depressed loser like me? But then again he doesn't know I'm depressed or anything...

When I get to my cousins house.. Or I guess my house too now... Everywhere is littered with empty alcohol bottles and my cousin, Ben, is passed out on the couch... Again. If you hadn't guessed it yet, he's an alcoholic

Yeah, it kind of sucks that I ran away to go live with an alcoholic 25 year old but anything is better than my old home. At my old house, my dad used to hit me all the time and he yelled at me and hurt me emotionally, mentally and physically.

So, I just left. I didn't want to be around him anymore. I'll have to get a job soon because I don't think Ben is financially stable enough to afford himself let alone another teenager.

I walk to my new room and fall back on my bed. Everything is just too much right now.I can't believe that my life had to turn out as awful as thisI just hope Jordan  will keep helping me.

He probably hates your guts! No he doesn't! He was being perfectly nice to me earlier.It's probably just a set up! But He hates you! Everyone does!ButYour a pathetic, lonely, depressed, selfish, worthless loser that no one likes! The shower stings my fresh cuts the next morning. But it feels somewhat satisfying. Sometimes my demons are just too much because I know they're telling the truth and I can't stop it. After my shower I pull on a black hoodie and a pair of dark blue jeans.I wrap my arm in white gauze and pull my sleeves down again.That day at school a blond kid walks up to me right before

*first period*

"thomas, is it?" I ask.

"Yeah. Jordan  and I had a talk and we were thinking that you could be permanent. Sit with us at lunch, k?"

"Uh. Yeah. Okay. Sure."

"Cool. I'll see you later, rocky." He says smiling at me then he

leaves me, shocked, in the busy hallway. One thought echoes in my head all class: I have friends.
