I'm at home from school, sick, so I thought I'd update. Sorry it's been a couple of days. I blame it on a hellish breakup, so after this chapter don't expect anything for a while.

Ellie's POV
"Ms. Kwan?"
"Yes?" she called into the intercom.
"Could you please send Eleanor Nash to the office please?"
Ms. Kwan smiled. "Sure."
Mr. Raditch looked at me. "Ellie, we have reasons to believe that you've been hurting yourself as a method of coping. Is that true?"
I sucked on the inside of my cheek and looked at my feet. "No..."
"Ellie?"
"It's really none of your business." I looked at him. His eyes burned a hole right through me.
"You're free to go..."

Alex's POV
"Hey, Ellie," I greeted her as she exited the dingy office.
"Hi, Alex."
"I just, uhm, wanted to thank you for the other day at the movies. With Jay. Thanks," I smiled at her.
"No problem. Hey, do you want to do something after school?" she asked, scratching her arms through her armwarmers.
"Hell, why not. I'll meet you outside after the bell rings," I replied, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear.
Ellie nodded slowly and walked out of the office.
"Alex, Mr. Raditch will see you now."

Manny's POV
"Hey, Ellie," I said to her as she walked out of the front office.
"Hey," she replied.
"What's up?" I asked, crossing my arms against my chest.
"Just going back to Kwan-Hell."
I laughed. "Did you know that Sean goes out with Emma again? And she called me a whore."
Ellie looked like she got hit in the face. "No, I didn't know that." She shook her head. "Emma's not a whore. And neither are you..." She looked up at me with the saddest eyes I've ever seen.
"Thanks, Elle." I nodded and hugged her. I knew that trying to befriend someone like Ellie probably wasn't smart, but it was okay.
"Is there a reason you're even talking to me?" she suddenly asked.
"No, I just want to get to know you."
"Fat chance."
"Of what?" I asked, puzzled.
"Of me opening up to you." She smiled. "I have to go."

Emma's POV
I smiled as Sean kissed the base of my neck. I kissed his temples and he stopped. "What's wrong?" I asked, my voice dripping with concern.
"Something's wrong." He lifted himself from me and started pacing.
"Sean, tell me!"
"Something's wrong with Ellie. I can tell."
"Sean, it's nothing, c'mere."
"Shut up, Emma!" he yelled, picking up the phone. Sean dialed a number and furrowed his brow. "Hi, is Paige there?" He nodded slowly. "Paige, something's wrong with Ellie. Okay, thanks." He hung up the phone. "Em, you have to leave," Sean told me.
"Whatever. You fucking bastard." I grabbed my coat and left. I know that it wouldn't phase Sean even the least bit that I had just insulted him. He didn't care; he was too inlove with Ellie to even notice.
I sighed, starting to walk home. Sean had called me to tell me that Ellie just had a little scare (that probably involved a razorblade and an entire bottle of Tylenol PM) and that I could come back over if I wanted to. I said no and hung up on him.

Ellie's POV
My phone rang, distracting me from a bleeding arm. "H-hello?" I asked.
"Ellie? It's Paige," she said.
"Hey," I replied. "What's up?"
"Are you okay? Sean's really worried..." she rushed on.
"I'm fine," I replied.
"Ya sure?" Paige asked.
"Yes, Mom, I'm okay," I said, enforcing emphasis on "Mom".
"Okay, I love you."
"Love you too," I hung up.
I looked back down at my arm. One cut for everyone that calls me "Elle". Elle is a letter, not a name. I smiled then went to the bathroom, where I kneeled down and threw up.
When I climbed into bed that night, my mind was forced to Paige's words: "Sean's really worried..."

Another chapter has come. Hells yeh! If you're reading this right now, I'd advise you to review, because it could have something to do with the next time I update. Much love,
