James POV

I didn't wake up until 1:00pm I was exhausted from last night and really just not feeling great I just felt so numb I got up and put on black joggers and a black hoodie and some trainers and went to principal weems office

Principal weems : good afternoon

James : oh yeah it's afternoon

Principal weems : you okay

James : yeah I'm fine

Principal weems : make sure you eat something today you need the energy

James : yeah okay I just gonna go for a walk I'll be back soon

Principal weems : okay see you later

I went out into the woods to the lake to be honest I felt horrible I was having a bad mental health day and I started getting the urges to relapse last night which I have been clean for almost 2 year but it started to feel like the old times when I felt I had nothing left I made it to the lake and just sat there

James : what the fuck is wrong with me why am I like this Why am I always a burden

I started to cry I felt so numb i contemplating weather or not to do what I was about to do I got so frustrated with myself

James : just do it you coward no one wants you hear no one cares about you

I relapsed I started to feel dizzy I couldn't feel my fingers I thought this is it everything when black

Principal Weems POV
I walk out my office and took the route we usually go when we go to the wood i go to where we would usually sit and there he was passed out and his sleeve soaked in blood and a blade in his other hand

Principal weems : oh gosh James please be okay

I unwrap my scarf from my neck and wrapped it around his arm to try and stop the bleeding I then picked him up and took me back to the school and to the medical wing
I sat by his side the whole time while his cuts were being stitch and dressed

Principal Weems : come on James you can get through this please
