I haven't left my home in two weeks. I've been really depressed lately. I haven't eaten anything and my ribs are easily seen. I don't want to be like this, but I just keep losing my appetite. I look sick, but I'm not.

My phone began to ring, it was Hailey. I miss her so much, I decided to answer.

"Hello?" My voice was soft and quiet

"Oh my gosh, Cameron. What happened, I miss you so much. Where are you?" Hailey rambled

I giggled just a little "I'm okay and I miss you too"

"Can I come see you?"

"No, I-I don't want you to see me like this"

"Please? I want to be there for you, but you won't let me"

"Because I don't need anyone here for me"

"I'm calling Sam" she blurted

"No, please don't" I begged

"Why?"

"He'll hurt me" I whispered

"Do you want me to call either of the jacks?"

"No, I don't want anyone to see me, I don't want to see anyone, until I've changed"

"Cameron, we love you just the way you are. I don't want you to change, you're my best friend and I love you. Please stop doing this to yourself?"

"I'm so sorry" I cried, hanging up my phone.

"She won't let anyone close to her" Hailey looked down

"How did this all start anyway, she was fine one day, then the next, she shut the whole world out?" I asked

"I don't know, I-i just want her to be okay" Hailey broke down in tears

I pulled Hailey into a hug, she held me tight by my waist, crying into my chest. I rubbed her back, trying to calm her down.

"Shh, we'll figure something out, I promise"

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Soon my door knob twisted but as soon as they realized it was locked, they started knocking.

"Cameron open the door"

Sammy

"I don't want to see you"

"Baby, please. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Just please open the door" he begged

"Just go away" I spoke quietly

"No. I'm not leaving until I get to see you. Cameron, I love you with all my heart. I'll change, I'll go to anger management classes, I'll do anything for you, just please...let me in" Sam began to sob

"Baby, please?"

I stood up slowly and walked over to the door. I removed the chain and twisted the lock on the door. Slowly I opened it, seeing Sam with tear stained cheeks. We looked at each other for a few seconds, before he placed his hands on my waist. He pulled me in, wrapping his arms around me, mine went around his neck.
