Tyler's POV
~~~~
I was laying on the floor getting beaten up and cut by five guys. Then the door opened. Mat entered.

"What the fuck?" He yelled. Mike motioned for the guys to get out.

"If you say anything, I'll end your life. Literally." Mike said to Mat. Once Mike was out Mat came to me and crouched in front of me. I was lating on my side and my right sleeve was up and my hand was full of cuts.

"Tyler." Mat said. He helped me up. "This is bad. He looked at my right arm. He noticed the blade on the floor. He knew I didn't do it. I wouldn't want to. I promised to Safiya I wouldn't.

"Don't tell her. Please. She can't know." I said. He knew who I was thinking about. He nodded lightly.

"For now. You'll have to tell her sooner or later. Or Mike will say everything again." He said. "Did they find it?" He asked while holfing up the blade. I nodded. "Are you okay now?" He asked after I wiped the blood of my hand.

"Yeah. Better." I said. He exhaled sharply. "My life is just shit. I know I promised Safiya I wouldn't cut myself anymore, but Mat, please give me that blade. I need it." I asked in hopes he would give it.

"I-I can't. This won't help you. I can't give it to you. I'm sorry." He said. I gave him a sad look. "Just tell her. That'll help you." He added.

"I wanna do something without her. I don't wanna be nothing without her. I wanna be someone who can do things on his own." I said. He shook his head.

"You are that someone. If you tell her. That'll prove your bravery that you're able to talk about this. And she's your girlfriend. She needs to know." He said.

"You're right. I'm gonna tell her about everything what happened. Thanks Mat. You're the best." I said and he smiled. He came out into the hallway and Safiya's face was full of relief when she saw me. And I just gotmre nervous.
