Sprinting down the halls with tears in my eyes but not knowing where to go is harder, as I run I don't look, until I run into someone tall. Thomas. "What the bloody hell happened Ly?" He asked but all I could do was lock my arms around his waste and cried.
      He slowly lowered us down until he was sitting on the ground with me in his lap. "Shhhhh. It's okay Ly just calm down and breath with me. In and out." He calmed me down but then he saw my wrists.

"What the bloody hell happened Ly? D-did Eden do this?" Thomas says lightly taking my small hand into his and looking at the cuts. They weren't small or shallow but they weren't to big and deep that they needed stitches. They were in the middle, blood dripped down my arm as Thomas tried to slow the bleeding with a tissue.

When the flow of blood was over he took out some wrap from his bag and gently placed in on the cuts. "There, does that feel better?" He asks looking at me with a gentle smile. "Why are you helping me? I mean I just dumped your cousin." I question "Ly is because when I first moved here, nobody nit even Eden wanted to hang out with me. Until you came and welcomed me into your group. Eden might be family but you treat me way better than he ever has." Thomas reply's before pulling me into yet another hug.

Once he pulled away he said "I'm going to tell Daniel that you have to go home and I'll go with you." He hugs me and then lifts me off of his lap and walks off.
      
While I was waiting for Thomas to return the next class started, meaning people were coming this way. A crowd of people came flooding into the building but when people saw me it was if school didn't matter. People were on every side of me asking me what happened, where Eden was, and questions I couldn't make out. At this moment I felt something that I learned to control when I moved in with Joey and Daniel. But it was back.............

My anxiety.
