"I have an idea. Here, come with me!" Pyrrha pulled me with her and soon we were on a roof. The air was brisk and crickets chirped loudly. The view was nice enough for a clear night.

"Pyrrha, I know I'm going through a hard time right now, but-" Would I really be happy being a farmer or something? No, I wanted to be a warrior like all the fathers before me, but I just couldn't. The classwork, nearly getting killed in the Emerald Forest, getting picked on almost every week, it was too much. I shouldn't even be here at all. I was a failure.

"Jaune?" The redhead asked.

"Thank you, Pyrrha. I may not have known you very long, but it's been nice." I pulled out my hidden dagger.

"What are you doing?!" She tried to stop me, but I jumped before she could. I stabbed myself in the gut muiltple times before I hit the ground and blacked out.

Pyrrha's POV

"I didn't think he'd do that, jump. I wanted to help him be a better fighter!" I slumped in my chair.

"Who would thought? Jaune was really hiding his feelings a lot, you know. I mean, he has cuts all over his body! That couldn't have been good." Weiss said to no one. I glared at her.

"Whe- What happened... Oh no." Jaune was awake!

Pyrrha's POV End

Jaune's POV

I couldn't even die right! I knew I was an idiot and now, I'm in hospital. My team and Ruby's were here too. Great.

"Jaune?" Ruby asked. I looked away, "Jaune! Look at me!"

"What?" I sighed.

"Why didn't you tell us?" She frowned.

"You won't understand." I folded my arms so they wouldn't see all the cuts.

"Try us." Blake piped up from the corner of the room.

"I don't owe you anything." I hissed.

"Maybe not Blake, but you do owe me." Pyrrha stood up and walked over to the chair next to my bed. I gulped.

"I guess I started worrying about getting into Beacon too often and cutting helped so much. It had become a habit once school started. Then I got bullied and it made it worse. Those were some scary nights, to be honest. Last night-" I was cut off.

"Last week." Ren said quietly.

"I was asleep a whole week?" I asked. Nora nodded.

"We were really worried, Jaune. I mean, the last thing you did was get punished as well." Pyrrha reminded me.

"It was a snap decision. Look, I won't do it again." Jump off a roof, that is.

"You're right, young man, you won't." Professor Ozpin was at the door.

"Sir, I-" I started.

"Everyone out. I will inform you of your roles later." The silver haired man had everyone leave. Ruby tried to be the last one, but Pyrrha pushed her out because she was taking up the doorway. She closed the door after she waved.

"Sir, I'll handle the stress better next time. They don't have... Don't have to get involved. Nobody needs to worry about plain old me." I sounded so lame. But they couldn't get involved.

"Jaune, I know you're hurt and upset." He said softly.

"I just got stressed is all. Nothing more." I started to make a gesture, but stopped so my bare arms wouldn't get looked at.

"They told me about the bullying." He looked me in the eyes.

"They what?! I was doing fine." I growled.

"I heard you telling them you weren't. 'Those were some scary nights, to be honest.' You aren't fine. You won't handle the stress better. You will start cutting again if you get the chance. These are facts." He said.

"I'm a failure! Look at me, I screwed up a soild suicide attempt. That should have been enough to kill!" I yelled.

"Jaune, your aura protected you. Those stabs aren't as deep as they should have been. Your body didn't want you to die." Ozpin sat next to the bed.

"Great, now my body is against me, too. When do I go home? You probably don't want a suicidal kid at your school." I bit at him.

"You just chose how to cope wrong. You're going home, yes, but only to take a break from what caused this." He tried to make going home sound nice.

"I don't want to go home! I'll be put on suicide watch 24/7. They'll all be like, 'Jaune, what happened? Tell us your feelings.' Who stopped me from dying, huh? My life will be horrible now, thanks to them." I huffed.

"We want you to get better. You can overcome this. Suicide is not the answer. Hurting yourself isn't ok." Ozpin was trying to keep from covering his face with his hands.

"I hate this! Why do they care? Why do you care? I just want the pain stop. Why won't it stop?" I sniffed and felt tears fall down my face. Ozpin waited until I stopped crying.

"I'll let you rest now." He left. I sighed and looked at the celling.

2 months later

"Jaune! We missed you!" Ruby hugged me tightly. I felt the youngest wounds ache.

"Ruby, you're hugging too hard." Yang told her. She recoiled quickly.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to, I got excited." The cloaked girl frowned.

"It's ok, Ruby. I missed you too." I coughed.

"I think it's our turn to visit with him." Pyrrha took my hand and lead me back to our dorm. It was the same as I remember if a bit tidier.

"You're back!" Nora cheered.

"Guys, I kinda want to nap so..." I trailed off.

"We'll celebrate later." Ren finished.

"Thanks." I changed and went to my bed. I heard them decide who was going stay with me. It was fine. I just was really glad for the change in scenery after two months of being home.
