"Yasmin"
I froze, why was he calling me. I did not turn around. I wouldn't. I shouldn't.
"I heard what happened today, I'm sorry for what London said to you."
Why was he apologizing for her?
"I talked to her about that she said she was sorry, she's a nice person you just have to get to know her better".
Yeah right. I tried getting to know her once.
"Yasmin?"
"Yeah I heard you, its fine" I said not turning around. I don't want him to see my face. I can't believe he's defending her.
Is he in love with her?
"Yasmin I know your hurt, I'm sorry for what happened" he sighed. "It's been a long time--"
"I know" with that said I rushed inside closing the door behind me.
I ran up to my room and straight to bed crying myself to sleep.

That Wednesday I didn't go to school. I didn't have to leave my room because I had my own bathroom and television. I left my room once though to get on apple and water.
Dad came and told me good-bye. Cyntia came to give me ice-cream, she said it will make me feel better. She came back in the evening to give me dinner on a tray. Yeah.
The rest of the day I slept.

Thursday bright and early.
I woke up to a soft knock on my door. I groaned loudly.
My dad came in and sat on my bed.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes dad" I sighed.
"Are you going to school?"
I just shrugged my shoulders. I honestly didn't want to go to that hell hole. I didn't want deal with teenagers.
"It's okay if you don't want to go to school today" he said looking at me sadly " You know I once read this in a book that metal has to go through fire to melt and turn into a sword. Be strong because this is just a test, you are being melted, being moulded into a stronger person. The burning from the fire shall pass and you will find rest."
"Ok" I looked at him with a smile.
"If there's anything you want I'm just one call away" he got up to leave but stopped.
"Can I trust you not to do anything stupid?" he asked not turning around.
"Yes dad" I said with a frown and then he left the room.
I don't think my dad trust me to be by myself ever since that night.
The night my mom was announced dead.
The night I found out Xavier and London were in a relationship.
The night my dad left to drink away his pain.
The night I wanted everything to stop.
The night I wanted my life to stop.
The night I pressed the blade against my wrist.
The night I tried to end it all.
That night I tried to take my life.
