Hello everyone, I'm sorry about this chapter being short. I'm having a serious writers block right now combined with working everyday.
I don't own Phineas and Ferb. However I do own Ryan.

Normal POV
Ryan turned around to see who called his name. As he studied the person on the porch he saw it was Katie. He didn't recognize her at first; since she was wearing her Fireside Girl's uniform. He noticed that she had a light red mark on her cheek from where Alex had slapped her.
He slowly turned around and started to walk away, his head down.
"Ryan, wait" Katie called as she walked down the stairs. He continued to walk away. She then ran ahead of him making him stop and said, "Ryan what's wrong?"
"Everything." He replied sadly.
"Want to talk about it?" she asked.
"No." he replied as walked past her.
"Ryan, please just talk to me." She pleaded.
"That's just it I can't, please Katie I want to be left alone." He said
She became serious and said, "No Ryan, I will not. You don't have to face your problems alone, let me be your friend, tell me what's wrong."
He stopped and said while still looking away, "You have a good heart Katie but it's wasted on me, I can't trust anyone anymore and its best that I stay away from you. Goodbye Katie."
"Ryan I'm not mad at you for… earlier." She stated
He then turned towards her and said, "Better for me to stay away from everyone then hit someone out of rage." He walked away, tears in his eyes. Katie grabbed Ryan's shoulder triggering a reaction. He grab her hand and was about to throw a punch when he saw who he grabbed.
He slowly let her go then pushed her away and snapped at her, "You see the reason why I can't have friends. I attack anyone who touches me. Now for the last time Katie, leave me alone for your own safety." He then ran away. Leaving Katie to watch after him until he was out of sight.
"Ryan, stop!" She yelled but he continued running. "I've got your locket." She finished sadly and pulled the piece from her pocket.
Ryan's POV
I ran home, I figured the only way for me to be truly alone was to stay in my room. As I opened the door I saw no one home. As I walked to the kitchen I saw a note on the table. It said,
"Ryan, I'm sorry but I got called to the hospital to help with emergency surgery so I'll be home late.
Love mom."
I sighed as I put the note down; she was always on call for surgeries, I thought to myself. I decided just to go up to my room and sleep. As I entered I took off my shoes and socks and sat at my desk. I stared at my sister's picture, thinking of her. I began talking to myself, "Well sis this school's just like the last. Everything has gone wrong; I had to talk with the police on the first day. I feel like giving up more than ever and joining you. At least you've not been picked on recently." I reached for my locket,then remembered I lost it. I then lay down on my bed and began to cry. "Katie I'm so sorry for nearly hitting you." I said to myself through the tears.
Why do I have to have the worst reflex in the world, why can't I just have a normal happy life? I then got up and went to the kitchen. I took a knife out of the holder and set it on the counter then rolled up my sleeves and stared at the two scars from my first attempt. I picked up the knife again and stared at it. Two cuts that's all it takes, I thought to myself. As I stared at it, my mind was battling itself saying 'do it' and 'don't do it'. I then shook my head and put the knife back in the holder and said to myself. "Not today, not here."
I then went back upstairs and fell asleep.
