I came to the adress and knocked on the door. Seconds later Mat opened the door. He looked at me confused. I think he noticed that I cried. I hugged him and cried into his chest.

"Where is he?" I asked with my weak voice. He led me to his room. When we entered I saw Tyler sitting on Mat's bed.

"Saf, what happened? Did you cry? For me?" He asked. I nodded lightly. Mat and I sat on the bed. I sat next to Tyler and Mat sat next to me.

"Is it bad?" I asked. I saw his bruises on his face and they didn't look that bad. Then he lifted up his hoodie and his stomach was completely blue. I gasped quietly. "Is there more?" I asked.

"Only what I did to myself." He said. Did he cut himself? Then he lifted up his left sleeve and his arm under it was completely wrapped up. "I cut myself. I'm sorry Saf. I didn't wanna tell that I got beaten up because I didn't want you to worry. They told me that I can't do anything without you... and it's true. I'm no one without you." He broke down crying. I calmed down.

"You could've told me. I am so glad I sent Mat in the bathroom because you would've cut yourself way worse." I said.

"I-I wanted to be the one to protect you, but I-I can't. I'm not a man. I'm a pussy." He said. I hugged him and he cried into my shoulder.

"Don't say that. Don't listen to them. Who cares what they say." I comforted. I looked at Mat. He didn't know what to do. "I love you, Tyler." I said. I shouldn't have said that. He looked up at.

"I love you too, Safiya." He said. Does he love me love me? Does he have feelings for me? Seconds later he sat up, came closer to me and kissed me. I guess that was my proof. I kissed him back.

"It's so cute that you got together on the second ay you met." Mat said. Tyler and I laughed. I looked back at Tyler.

"Does that mean that we're dating?" He asked. I nodded and kissed him again.

"I do not want you to show me the cuts, but promise me to never do it again." I said.

"I promise. I won't." He said.
