"GET AWAY FROM ME! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BEST FRIENDS!" I scream at Phil.

See, me and Phil, we were best friends, until he started drinking, telling lies, and abusing me. We're not in a relationship though, he started this because he'd been going out with a girl for 3 years then he found out she was cheating on him. Yeah I know, it's gotta be hard on him and yes I hate the skank who did it, but at first I thought oh, he's depressed, he'll get over it. I did the best I could as a good friend, distracting him by playing video games, watching Buffy, and sometimes he was happy but then he'd go into these horrible depressive moods where he treated me like shit. I was just, literally just putting up with it until today, now he's been abusing me for a month and I can't put up with it anymore.

"Y/N, look I'm sorry…" Phil said to me.

"No! Get away from me!" I yelled back.

I ran to my room, and grabbed a bag and packed a few bits I'd need. He followed me in and I pushed him out of the way as I grabbed my phone of the counter and walked out.

About time I did. I ran to my "hiding place" in town, well it wasn't really a hiding place, it was basically an alley where no-one ever went, especially not at 3am in the morning, the time it is now. I collapsed in tears and opened my bag, I looked through everything til at last I found it, my blade. I put it against my skin and pulled it away as I let the blood flow from my wrists. Yes, I cut myself, no it wasn't the first time.

"Are you okay?" A heard a deep voice ask.

"Go away." I said, barely a whisper, I couldn't even speak.

The mysterious man walked over to me, I looked up at him and he had deep brown eyes, a pretty handsome face and and straightened dark fringy hair, I couldn't see that well because of the light though.

"Oh shit, you're bleeding!" He said.

He got a tissue out of his pocket and wrapped it around my wrist, putting pressure on it so the bleeding would stop.

"I'm Dan." He said smiling.

"Y/N…" I replied.

We sat in silence for another minute or two until the bleeding finally stopped.

"Hey, this might sound out of the ordinary but is it possible I could stay yours tonight, I walked out of my flat and I have nowhere to go…" I asked.

"Sure, come with me." He said smiling.
