Ivy Sullivan sat cross-legged on the grass outside the history room, her eyes were closed, Dixon could have spotted her a mile away, she always stood out, she was different, always wearing torn clothes and crazily cute hats. As soon as Dixon got closer he noticed she was much paler then usual and she had big black sleepless circles under her eyes .He saw that her hands were wrapped around each other, She was wearing many colourful bangles and bracelets. He sat down next to her quietly, not to startle her.

"Ivy?" He said hesitantly, her eyes opened slowly; he noticed that, sadly, there was no sparkle in her eyes, just dull and lifeless. She looked surprised to see him.

"Oh hey" She said lifelessly. This was killing Dixon inside, he knew she was going through shit and he hadn't made it better by breaking up with her and then not being there for her even as a friend.

"You okay?" He asked looking concerned.

"Just dandy thanks" She said sarcastically scowling at him.

"Your leg okay after the accident?" He asked ignoring her hostile tone.

"Its fine, just have to rest" She said looking down at her hands.

"Look Ivy, I'm really sorry, Can we just go back to being friends? Please? It's killing me to see you so down" He said quickly with meaning.

Ivy threw her hands up into the air and pushed back her hair, as she did so one of the thicker bangles she was wearing slipped further down her arm revealing at line of short red scratches.

"Look Dixon, I think it's better if I just stay away from you, I seem to be causing more problems then solving…" Dixon cut her off when he noticed the angry scratches on her arm.

"Ivy! What the hell?" He said angrily grabbing her wrist. Ivy paled.

"Nothing! Okay? It happened in that stupid surfing accident!" Ivy stood up abruptly and grabbed her bag quickly. Dixon was quick to follow.

"Bull shit!" He said loudly. She didn't turn.

"Ivy! Are things that bad" He said in a hushed tone.

"You have no idea…" Ivy stated simply.

"Then talk to me! Ivy, we used to friends! Please?" Dixon begged grabbing her shoulder and turning her around to face him.

"Okay? You want me to share! Well let me see…My mom slept with one of my

best friends , and then I slept with him because my boyfriend broke up with me because he was to scared to tell me he might be HIV positive, and then my stranger dad only wanted to build up a relationship with me so he didn't have to pay for college for me because he already has a new amazing family!" She burst out angrily.

Dixon stood there shocked, he knew things were bad but never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined things to be that bad.

"Ivy…I'm sorry, If I could rewind time and stop you from getting hurt then I would" He said looking her in the eyes.

"I have to go" She walked away from him, leaving him standing in the court yard.
