He went over to Dunn and sit down beside him.He could hardly believe that his friend,Ryan,none the less, could or even would cut himself.They'd grown up together.He seemed happy.But now that he thought about it,Ryan hadn't really been acting like himself lately.

 

"Tell me what's wrong" he said to Ryan.

 

"You wouldn't understand." Ryan told him,wiping some stray tears from his eyes.

 

"Maybe I would.Try me." he asked him gently,trying to get him to open up.

 

He didn't want to sound accusatory or yell at him.It would make the situation worse then it already was.

 

Ryan didn't say anything.But more tears fell from his eyes,down his face.He could see his friend was hurting on the outside and on the inside.

 

"Please tell me Ryan" he pleaded with his depressed friend.

 

He felt like he was getting ready to cry himself.But he tried not to,for Ryan's sake.He had to be a rock for Ryan,so he wouldn't do anything else drastic.

 

"I feels so sad and depressed.It feels as if no one wants me alive.I just want it all to end and die.And it feels as if I've let everyone around me down." Ryan confided in friend,crying

 

Ryan put his head in his hands.

 

"How come you haven't told anyone,Ryan?",his friend inquired.

 

"No one would understand if even if I did tell them!" Ryan told him

 

'Why don't they get it?No one will ever,EVER understand what I'm going though or what I'm feeling.' Ryan felt like yelling at his friend,for acting so stupid.

 

Instead,he just started to sob into his hands.Brandon put his hands around Ryan,as he too,started to cry.They stayed like that,both of them crying,holding onto each other for support.
