Xavier's P.O.V. Last session was hell. All I could think about was his girlfriend. I'm a mess. Why am I even obsessing over him? He clearly doesn't want anything to do with me. He already has a lover, what am I to him? I can't be his friend, because he is already friends with Shawn, and Shawn hates me. Even if we were to become friends, my selfish self would want more, I'd want to be his boyfriend, but he wouldn't want that. The bell rang, I got up from my seat and went to my locker. 6221 There were no yellow sticky notes. I still need find out about the previous ones. I grab my bag and quickly exit the school. I look up and see that the sky is grey.

Cole's P.O.V.Xavier waved goodbye. He looked anxious and so small in front of the house. I wanted to stay with him. He told me his parents would kill him if they found out. I really wished that wasn't the case.I drive off to my place so I can dry off and put more... how do I say it? Party type clothes on. Sarah would arrive very shortly. I got out of the car. None of my parents or siblings were home yet. So I didn't have to greet anyone. I went straight up stairs, put on my leather black jeans, which I quite like, and another long black singlet on. I dry my hair and put on my red cap backwards, I look pretty good, not being vain or anything. I spray deodorant on and go downstairs. All that was on my mind was Xavier. I hope his parents aren't as harsh as he told me they were.A knock on the door startles me. I get up and peek through the peephole to see Sarah. I open the do

Cole's P.O.V.I take the bag.I can't disappoint my friends.But are they even my friends if they want me to harm myself?I get given an already made cigarette.I smoke it.The effects are felt straight away.Dizzy, nauseous, light-headed.This is not me.But Sarah loves this me.She jumps on me, touching and feeling me, I respond, but not willingly.We kiss, very roughly and passionately."Oh Cole, I miss you, I love you." She says, while lightly biting my neck.I forget what happened for the remainder of the night.I open my eyes. The bright sunlight burns.I place my hand above

Cole's P.O.V."Hey Ash." I say through the phone. I decide to call my sister."What do you want?" She responds, angrily."I need you to pick me up, I'm near th-""I am at school.""Yeah I know.""Well? Where's the logic in that Cole?" "How am I supposed to get home?""Cab? Walk? I don't know. I need to go."She hangs up.A cab didn't sound like a bad idea. I find it hard to believe I was that stupid I didn't think of this before. I check my pockets to see if I have any money. I find $50, that should be enough. I dial a cab and sit on the curb of the old dusty road waiting.Moments later I hear the tyres on the rocks, tiny pebbles shoot out at every angle.

Xavier's P.O.V.'Smack!'I jolt up, as a loud noise comes from my left. I look to my window."What was that?"I want to get up and investigate, but my body is in so much pain.'Smack!'I catch a glimpse of a stone hitting my window.Who's throwing stones at my window?"Maybe you should get up and see. What if it's a robber or something trying to break in?"I get up and creep towards my window, not wanting the person outside seeing me, they could have a gun. Every limb in my body screams out in pain, but I need to silence them if I have any chance of investigating. 'Smack!'Another one, one more and I think my window is going to break.I muster up a
