a few weeks later
"Tyler!" mariyah had come back from work and ran to me. "hey!" I smiled when I saw her looking happy.
"I'm a month clean!" she says happily.
"I'm so proud of you" I say, hugging her tightly.
"thanks"

she'd been wearing a few rubber bands now. I decided to help to. I threw away all the sharp items and made the knives inaccessible for her. josh and Lauren kept her busy 24/7.

I think this time, she will stop for good.

"MARIYAH!" I exclaim.
"oops" she giggled.
"how long have you been playing this game!?" josh exclaims.
"since I was 8" she replied.
"figures" he added. we were playing mario kart. and mariyah was winning.
"or maybe Tyler is helping"
"Tylers not here" I say.

later on we all went out to eat. and well, mariyahs bullies from middle school were there. we all got ready and headed to a cute restaurant and they saw mariyah and started chatting shit. mariyah didn't care at all but she said if they came over she would deck them.

and guess what?
when mariyah went to the bathroom after we ate they followed her!
i told josh i'd be back and crept behind them.

i went into the bathroom and they were all shouting at her.
"bruv i'll dash your head in the bin" she said.
"you cant do shit all you do is date white men"
"hes part lebanese you twat" she replied before she pulled the girl into hedlock and threw her head in the bin.

"mariyah!" i pushed past them and pulled her out.
