October 24th, 2019"Dear diary, today is my 14th birthday. Happy birthday to me I guess. I stopped really caring about my birthdays a long time ago. I just don't really see the point in celebrating my life, to be honest. My habit of cutting myself has gotten worse. I feel like I have no control over it anymore, like it's consuming me. I mean, I didn't even have that bad of a day today. I hung out with Ian and he even got me a present. I had fun, I really did. But I still want to do it. I just can't stop thinking about it, I can't calm down until I do it.
...I did it."

I just got out of the shower at Wes's place, walking out only in a bathrobe. I saw Wes lying in his bed without a shirt on, scrolling through his phone. Shit, we actually just fucked. Like an actual couple. Shit, this is so awkward. And I'm sure I creeped him out earlier with my comment...How should I approach him now?
He noticed me walking towards him and smiled, putting down his phone.
-"Hey, are you feeling okay? Does it hurt?"-he asked.
-"A-a a little, but it's fine...um...can you give me some clean clothes to change into?"-I stuttered.
-"Yeah sure, just a sec."- He got up and went through his closet, taking out a t-shirt and sweatpants. He acts so normal and unbothered...
-"These are the smallest I have. I think they will be good enough though. Just tighten the sweatpants a little."
-"O-okay, thank you..."-He smiled and hugged me tightly.
-"No need to be awkward or uncomfortable, we didn't do anything bad, you know."
-"It's just...all of this is so new to me..."-He nodded, kissing the top of my head.
-"I know, it's okay...I like that your hair smells like my shampoo. Such a turn on."-He said in a joking voice. I laughed a little.
-"Pervert..."
-"I'll go shower real quick, see you in a bit."- He said, kissing me on the temple, and left the room.
I got dressed and sat on the bed, watching a movie that was on TV. A few minutes later, Wes's phone started ringing. It was Marianne. Shit, should I answer? It might be some work emergency...I'll just pick up.
Elio: Um, h-
Marianne: Where are you!? Do you know that everyone else returned except you and Elio!? I swear to God, Wes, if you get us both into trouble just because you wanted to get laid, I'll-
Elio: Um, it's me, Elio...Wes is showering right now...
Marianne: Oh...shit...Darlin', listen-
Elio: I....I'm sorry for causing problems...don't just blame Wes, I'm to blame as well...I'm really sorry, Marianne...
Marianne: No, Elio, don't feel bad, it's fine really-
The phone was snatched from my hand. I saw Wes standing behind me, wearing just the towel around his hips.
Wes: I'm sorry for being late, we'll be there in 15 minutes.
