Dustin started talking to her friends, to find out how she was.

When Lexi came back to school, I wouldn't let him anywhere near her. And trust me he tired.

But not with me in her life. She'd never talk to him.

A few times she'd leave class if things got weird. But she'd call me from the parking lot, and I'd take her home.

I noticed that Dustin was starting to put the pieces together. He was starting to understand his best friend on a new level.

The level of her self harm.

I noticed how she stopped sitting with her friends at lunch.

The only thing that didn't change was me.

I, never left her side. Not for anything.

That was when Dustin gave up.

I could see her falling.

Spinning downwards.

Because I love her, I didn't want to believe it.

But I guess I knew it was going to happen.
