I got diagnosed with depression since I was 9 and got diagnosed with anorexia when I was 14. I'm 17 now and life was never okay for me. Parents fighting, school being the worse and on top, no one would ask if I'm okay, or talk to me. Its 8am and I'm late for school. It starts in 10 minutes. I got ready and walked to school. I was outside when the bell rang. I went to my locker and into my first class, Chemistry. I knocked on the door and opened it and put my head down
Mr H: Ms Greggors, you're late
Me: I'm sorry Mr H
Mr H: If this happens again tomorrow, you're going to detention Ms Greggors
Me: I understand, I'm sorry
I look up and saw an empthy seat at the back. I sat there alone with no one to talk to. I put my hood down and tried to focus in class. We were almost done with class and the teacher asked us to do a team project. I got paired up with Vinnie, the hot guy. Why him? Why? I saw rage in Vicky's eyes. She is the popular girl in school who always picks on me. Vinnie sat next to me and we started talking.
Vin: So, how are you?
Me: Could have been better
Vin: oh- okay. So how are we going to start this?
Me: I don't know
Vicky: Hey Vinnie
I continued doodling in my note book.
Vicky: Hey loser
Me: Hey
Vin: What's up Vick
Vicky: Oh nothing. Just checking up on you
Vin: Well, I don't need people checking up on me. Besides, Jackie needs help
Vick: She's fine
Vin: Okay
Vick: So, how was your day
Vin: Good. How was yours Mina?
I shrugged
Vicky: Loser doesn't even talk
Me: I talk, but not to you
Vicky: Oh that's it
She pulled my hair. I didn't feel a thing and the teacher sent her to detention.
Vin: hey, you okay? That looked like it hurts
Me: Am I ever okay?
Then, class was dismissed. I went to my locker and got my textbook for the next subject. I turned around and saw Vinnie standing behind me
Vin: Woah woah woah there short stack. Eyes up here
I looked at him
Vin: So, how are we going to do the project?
Me: I don't know
Vin: your place?
Me: Sure
I'm sure mom and dad won't be home till 5.
Vin: Sick okay
He left me alone

-after school-

I met up with Vinnie and we went to my place. We went to the guest room and began doing our project. I couldn't take Vinnie to my room because my room had things I didnt want anyone to see. I then realised that I had to take my laptop from my room.
Me: Hey, hold on. I need to take something
I went to my room and got my laptop. I turned around and saw Vinnie
Me: Um- um, can we go back to the other room?
He took a blade off the floor
Vin: Are you okay?
Me: Ye- yeah
He went over to me and rolled up my sleeve. He saw all the cuts and bruises. He lifted up my hoodie stomach and saw that I was so skinny. It was so embarrassing.
Me: I- i-
Vin: How are you?
Me: Okay?
Vin: Talk to me
Me: Sorry but no
Vin: Why not?
Me: You think I trust people?
Vin: Please, you can trust me. Where are your parents?
Me: They're- um-
Vin: Tell me
He said calmly
Me: They're working. Can we just pretend that nothing happened?
He nodded and we went to the guest room. We finished our project.
Vin: Can you please tell me everything?
Me: I-
Vin: It's okay if you don't want to. I'm here, you can talk to me. Please?
Me: I- I've been depressed since 9 okay. Everything's messed up. My life tore apart when I was 7. Nothing is okay. I got diagnosed with anorexia when i was 14. And got bullied since I was 10. My parents- my parents fight everyday since 3 years ago. I just want my life to end right now
Tears fell down my face and Vinnie hugged me. I've never experienced this before. The feeling of hugging someone
Vin: Hey, it's okay. You'll get through this. I'll help you. I promise
Me: Really?
Vin: Yeah, I've been through the same and all you need is just someone to talk to. I'll glad to be that someone.
He hugged me for 5 minutes and we pulled away.
Vin: It's gonna be okay. Here
He wrote his number on a piece of paper for me. and handed it to me
Vin: Text me whenever you feel unsafe or need my help. Doesn't matter if it's 4am, 2am, just call or text me okay?
I nodded. We talked for a bit and he left. I took everything and went into my room. I texted Vinnie
Me: Hey, it's Mina
Vin: Oh, hey.. everything okay?
Me: Yeah
I turned off my phone and heard a car pull up. It should be my mom. She came in and stormed into the house and to my room
Mom: Why is the house so dirty!
Me: Mom I didn't do anything
Mom: Then why is it dirty?!
I stayed silent. Then, my dad was here. She went downstairs and began arguing.
