I was raised in the valley. There were shadows of death. Got out alive but with scars I can't forget. This kid back in school, subdued and shy. An orphan and a brother and unseen by most eyes.

There was this kid at my school. His name was Andy. I don't know his whole story but I heard he was adopted. No one notices him-let alone speaks to him.


I don't know what it was that made a piece of him die. Took a boy to the forest, slaughtered him with a scythe. Stamped on his face, and impression in the dirt. Do you think the silence makes a good man convert?

I decided I should just try and talk to him. What harm could that do? As I was walking over to him, I noticed something on his wrists. Cuts.
"Um.. hi." I said shyly trying not to star at the cuts.
"Hi." He replied quietly not looking up to see me.
"My name is Ashley."
"Andy."
"Yeah I know. Um... Do you mind if I ask you something?"
"What is it?"
"Is it true that you're adopted?"
"Yes."
"Is it okay if I ask why?"


We all have our demons and our horrors to fight. But how can I win, when I'm paralyzed? They crawl up on my bed, wrap their finger 'round my throat. Is this what I get for the choices that I made?

After I asked him why he was adopted, he looked more hurt than ever. What did I do? He took in a big breath and looked at me.
"My parents got murdered when I was eight." He said, clearly holding back tears.
"That must be horrible." I said trying to figure out a way to make him know I'm actually sorry.
"It was. I just got home from school and saw them laying there with their throats cut." I couldn't imagine that happening to me or my parents for that matter.


God forgive me, for all my sins. God forgive me, for everything. God forgive me, for all my sins. God forgive me, God forgive me.

"Andy I don't know what to say but I am really sorry."
"Yeah everyone is."
"The difference between me and them, I actually care." He started crying and I hugged him. He didn't say anything else. Just cried in my arms.
How can I care so much for a boy I just got to know? I mean, I like being nice but I literally never met him before his.
"Ashely?" He asked pulling away from me so he could see my face.
"Hmm?" I asked looking down at him. His makeup was smeared but he rather didn't care or didn't know.
"Can I go home with you?"
"Um... Sure."


Don't go, I can't do this on my own. Don't go, I can't do this on my own. Save me from the ones that haunt me in the night. I can't live with myself, so stay with me tonight. Don't go.

Me and Andy walked to my house after school. We just talked and learned more about him. None of us brought up the cuts on his wrist. Mostly because I guess he doesn't know I know and he doesn't want to bring it up and I don't want to make him feel uncomfortable.
"So Andy, this is my house." I said letting him in.
"Nice place."
"Thanks. My mom's at work."
"And you're dad?"
"Somewhere far away from us. He left us when he found out I'm gay."
"Sounds like a bastard."
"Yeah."


If I let you in, you'd just want out. If I tell you the truth, you'd vie for a lie. If I spill out my guts, it would make a mess we can't clean up. If you follow me, you will only get lost.

"Andy, I know we just met today but I think you're really cute and I want to go out with you." I said trying to point out the obvious.
"I can't." His tone got quieter.
"Why not? Are you not gay or bi?"
"No, I'm gay. I just can't."
"Why not?"
"I can't tell you."
"Of course you can."
No! I can't!" He yelled before getting up and running off.
What was that all about?


If you try to get closer, we'll only lose touch. Yes you already know too much, and you're not going anywhere.

I tried following him but he ran faster than me and I don't know where he was going or where he lived for that matter. I just decided to walk around and see if I run into him somewhere.

I almost gave up until I saw him at the park. I don't know what he was doing because he was behind a tree. I walked up behind him to see he was carving something in his wrist.
"Andy stop." I said, trying my best not to spook him. Failed. He jumped up and almost screamed.
"Ashley! I was uh... Just um..."
"I know what you were doing."
"You do?"
"Andy I saw your wrist."
"You did?"
"Yes. And if that's the reason you don't want to go out-"
"The reason I don't want to go out with you is because I'm crazy."
"Cutting doesn't make you crazy."
"No, I got diagnossed with Social Anxiety Disorder last year. It makes me really depressed and it just feels like there are monsters in my head that make me want to kill myself."
"Don't you have medication for it?"
"It doesn't work."


Tell me that you need me 'cause I love you so much. Tell me that you love me 'cause I need you so much. Tell me that you need me 'cause I love you so much. Say you'll never leave me 'cause I need you so much.

He looked down and started crying. I just grabbed either side of his face and made him look in my eyes.
"Andy, I can help you."
"No you can't! The doctors tried!"
"I'm not a doctor. Just let me help you!"
"What could you do?"
"We could start by throwing away everything you use to hurt yourself with."
"B-but I need them."
"No you don't."
"Yes I do."
"Andy, you just think that you need them. But you don't. You're stronger than that." He just nodded and wiped a tear away.


Don't go, I can't do this on my own. Don't go, I can't do this on my own. Save me from the ones that haunt me in the night. I can't live with myself, so stay with me tonight. Don't go.

We were over at his house, throwing away his razors, knives, ect. He pulled a box out from under the bed and handed it to me.
"This is the last one." He said. I made sure it wouldn't open easily then threw it in the bag.
"See how easy that was?" I asked. He just looked down and fiddled his thumbs. "Andy, look at me." He raised his head and I grabbed his hands in my own. "This might've been the hardest thing you ever had to do, but it's over. It can only get easier from here."



Don't go. Don't go.
