I got out of the hospital in the clothes Dad had Zoë and Alfie drop off. I didn't get to say hi because I was asleep when they were here but I was still grateful.

"Home, Home, Home, Home, Home..." I sang over and over again on the was back home. When we pull up to the flat I'm jumping a lot up and down. "Hey hey hey, calm down you still have stitches in your wrist." Phil reminds me so I stop jumping. "Alright here's the keys, go ahead." Dan says smiling. I run up and unlock the door then run up stairs to unlock the second door. Still slimming I swing the door open only to reveal A giant banner reading "Welcome Home Faith!" And Zoë, Alfie, Louise, Joe, Caspar, Pj, And Chris yelling "SURPRISE!" At the top of there lungs. I cup my hands over my mouth and start crying as Zoë and Louise come up and hug me as I cry into there shoulders. "Thank you oh my god!" I say as I pull away wiping my tears. Dan and Phil then come up behind me and hug me. "Thank you dad. Thanks Pop."

After I pull myself together YouTuber after YouTuber come up though and say hi to me. Alfie gives me a hug and we have a small conversation, Zoë and Louise of course have a conversation with me, then Chris and PJ who I learned were staying the night, then Caspar, and now Joe. "It's so nice to have a person actually my height to talk to," he jokes making me laugh. "Well I'm short here but back in Philly I'm a pretty average height. And it doesn't help my dad's are like 8ft tall either." I say. I earn a laugh from Joe. It makes me feel good. Making people laugh. But I could never make a YouTube channel. None would watch except for the fact that my parents are Dan Howell and Phil Lester. "Your a funny little thing ain't ya!" Joe says. "I might just have to make a video with you some time soon." I then smile and he turns off the camera. "Seriously though, a video about short people maybe? And I'll talk to your dad's about it?" I nod my head and Joe walks away.

After the party Dad's are cleaning up with PJ and I'm sitting on my bed drawing when I hear a knock on my door, "Ello Ello? Anyone home?" Chris says. "Come in Chris." I say laughing. He comes in and sits on my bed next to me. "What'd ya drawing there Faith?" He ask. "Nothing. Just some doodles and sketches. Your welcome to take a look through the book." I offer he takes the book and flips through it for a bit. "Faith these are..wow! But, who's this girl. She seems to be in it quite a lot. As well as this one?" He ask flipping to a picture of Hailey and then my mom. "Oh... Well the first one is my friend Hailey who as soon as I left to come here got a girlfriend and is doing ten times better without me but I'm not jealous or bitter I swear. And the second one is my mom." I explain. "ahh I see. But why have you drawn your mum as an angel in all of them?" he ask nodding his head. "Well my dad killed her when I was about 5," I say pointing to the devil that looks like my dad on the bottom of the page trying to drag down my angel mother into the pots of hell while she struggles to get out of his grip and fly away, "But I'd, uh, rather not talk about it." I say pulling at my sleeve. "Ahh, so you have those too huh?" he ask. I look at him in shock as he rolls up his sleeves to reveal deep scars in his wrist and lower arm. "You... You have depression too? I nearly forgot. But... I never knew you cut." I say astonished. He nods his head slowly "Yup. Side effect of depression. You wanna talk about it maybe. I mean, I know your dad has depression but, he's your dad. He's gonna hold off on some stuff. But uncle Chris gotcha." He says. "Umm,.. Ok. So how come you got depression in the first place.?"
"Well I was kinda born with it but in school I was bullied a lot. And of course as you know I'm bisexual (actual fact there for ya) So I was bullied a lot for that as well. And then the hole 'I'm just being a character on youtube and I wanna be myself' thing. So ya know. Depressed."
"Wow. Well uh my dad's was been kinda abusive to everyone. Scratch that. He's not my dad. His name is Tony and nothing more. Tony was always abusive. He would beat my mom and one night he got really drunk and hit her and killed her. I was only five and he got away with it. So he started to abuse me and my older sister. And then my depression started and was minor. But then he saw scars on my arm that I didn't even put there and he did. But he assumed I self harmed, which happened in the future, and he would be even more aggressive and call me a depressed little shit and a disappointment. I guess at one point I started to believe him. Then someone called Child protective services and took me and my sister to my aunts house. But then the abuse didn't stop. My sister started drinking and abused me almost as bad as my dad. And around this time is when I started cutting. My aunt wouldn't do anything to help me because she was scared of my sister. Then I came out to my aunt as Pansexual and Alyssa over heard and started abusing me worse. Plus is school my best friend Hailey is a Lesbian so they made fun of us and beat us up. Then I was anorexic,depressed, and anxiety ridden. Then I met Dan and Phil. And now I live with them."
"wow. And your how old?"
"only 13"
"Of my lord you shouldn't have to go through all that. But you wanna know how I stopped cutting?"
"Please"
"I'm not gonna sit here and tell you I bear depression. Because that battle is long before over. And I'm not gonna tell you I got stronger. All I did was unlock the strength I already had in me. And that was it. Cutting was over. But depression not. But it will be someday."

I then hug Chris. "Thank you" I say. "for what?" "For everything. For your videos making me smile when I needed them, for this conversation, for just being alive." He then chuckles. "In that case your welcome." he lets go and stands up back facing me and head spun around to look at me. "Well let's go see those losers down stairs yeah?"
