"Have a nice day sweetie."

"Thanks mom." I smile weakly at her not able to make eye contact.

Alright Mikayla you can do this.I can pull this off.No one has to know.I stop in front of the school doors closing my eyes.

"I'm not gonna cry,I'm not gonna cry.." I whisper to myself taking a deep breath putting a shaky hand on the door handle.I walk in the school and immideatly spot Oliver and Miley talking to each other by the gym doors waiting for me like they do every morning.They both seem so happy and I don't want to ruin that.They don't need to worry about me.They just can't know.I take another deep breath tugging at my sleeves.Not gonna cry.I repeat to myself walking towords them slowly.Oliver notices me and waves giving me a smile.Miley notices his attention is else where and turns and does the same when she spots me.

"Micky!" Miley smiles pulling me in for a hug.She wraps her arms around me holding me close.

"...why arn't you hugging back." she giggles pulling back and looking at me.Her smile fades when she locks eyes with mine."Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine just tired." I smile weakly turning my attention towords Oliver. "Whats up Oken?" I smile at him hoping they'll buy into my act and drop the subject.Oliver dosn't smile back just gives me the same concerned look Miley does.

"I'm fine guys really." I try again but their still not having it.

"Micky..." Oliver sighs grabbing my shoulders gently. I feel tears forming in my eyes.No stop your not gonna cry.I repeat to myself holding back the hot tears threatning to spill out.I look over at Miley and see the look of concern in her eyes and can't keep it in any longer. I feel a single tear slip down my face but before it can reach my chin Miley reaches out wipping it away with her thumb.

"Come here." she whispers pulling me into her arms.I release a sob and burry my head in her shoulder.My sobs seem to increase as she whispers soothing things in my ear stroking my hair lovingly.I don't deserve to have someone like her in my life.She's so perfect and I'm just a screw up.Why does she even love me.I feel her pull back and I try to compose myself hoping no one notices . I look around and luckily the hall is mostly empty. I look back at Miley slightly confused at why she pulled back. "Come on lets go to the bathroom." she smiles weakly at me grabbing my hand.

"...I'll be in class when your done." Oliver smiles softly placing a hand on my shoulder before turning to leave.

"Come on." Miley whispers pulling me off towords the bathroom still holding my hand.Once we are in the bathroom she lets go and we stand there in silent for a moment.I try to find something else to focus on but can't.I feel Miley's eyes burning wholes through my skin and I can't stand the feeling.

"Micky.." she sighs intertwining our hands."Whats going on?Talk to me.Please I want to help." she begins to stroke her thumb in circles on my hand and with the other one she pushes my chin up softly making me look at her. "What happened?"

I sigh feeling more tears fall down my face. "I umm.." I started but stopped not really knowing how to tell her."Umm..last night..I was upset.Me and my dad got in another fight.You know how we are..."

"Yeah." she grabs my other hand nodding her head signiling for me to continue.

"Well I was really upset after the fight and I umm..."I trail off again choking back some more tears

"You can tell me.." Miley begins pulling my hands up and placing a soft kiss on them.Suddenly I feel her freeze.I look up at her and notice her eyes grow wide and her attention is casted downwards at my arm. I pull my arms back tugging at my sleeve hopping she hadn't noticed.

"Micky.."Miley whispers grabbing my arm with a shaky hand.I look away not wanting to see her reaction.I feel her slowly pull up my jacket sleeve and hear her let out a small gasp.I continue to look away letting out a small sob as she runs a finger along the scars on my arm.

"Micky..." she says with a hoarse voice.I can tell by the way she talks that she is crying and now I really can't stand to look at her.She pulls my sleeve back down and steps towords me closly.

"Mikayla look at me." she says in a soft but stern voice. I turn my head towords her slowly and begin to cry even harder when I notice tears streaming down her face.She pulls me into a hug and I collapse in her arms sobbing uncontroloby.

"Shh its ok.."she whispers into my ear holding me close to her chest."You'll be ok.." we stay like that for a few minutes untill my sobs subside and I slowly begin to release the death grip I have on her shirt.I feel her slowly starting to pull back from me.She places a soft kiss on my neck than pulls back some more so now we are facing each other."Miky..why?" I look down slightly ashamed not knowing how to explain to her why I cut myself.

"I..I was really upset after the fight...my dad most of the time just..he just makes me feel really usless you know. Like I'm not enough...and I don't get it.What am I doing wrong Miley? Why dosn't my dad love me.Why arn't I enough for him!" I sigh shaking my head. "Why Miley?"

"Mikayla." she chokes out. I can tell she is holding back tears and I look up at her curious at what she has to say."Mikayla.You are not useless ok.Don't you ever ever think that.Your an amazing person and if your father dosn't realize that than I'm sorry but he isn't really to great of a father now is he.I know it hurts Micky..I know that you blame yourself for the way he treats you but its not your fault!You don't deserve to be treated like that.Mikayla it makes me sick to see you like this.You have so many people who care about you because you are an absoloutly amazing girl.Your smart,your beautiful,and you have an amazing heart.Don't listen to what your dad says.He's wrong Mikayla.You don't deserve to be put down like that.No father should treat his child that way.And Mikayla..cutting is not the answer.Thats dangerous.You can get addicted to that shit.Micky..look at me." Miley grabs my face with both of her hands looking deeply into my eyes. "Promise me that if you ever think about doing that again that you'll call me ok..promise me."

"I promise.." I choke out giving her a weak smile.

"I love you Mikayla and I can't imagine the thought of losing you so please no more cutting." she repeats sternly stroking my cheeks with her thumb.

"No more cutting.." I whisper looking into her eyes sincerly

"Come here." Miley smiles pulling me into a tight hug."I love you so much."

"I love you to." I sigh burrying my head in her shoulder.We stay like that for awhile untill we hear the morning bell ring.I sigh not wanting to leave her arms.I feel so safe in her arms.Like nothing could ever happen to me and I didn't want to lose that feeling.

"Guess we better head off to class." she sighs pulling away from me."See you next period." she smiles leaning in and giving me a light kiss on the cheek."Love you."

"Love you to." I smile watching her leave the bathroom."More than you know.."I whisper to myself.I sigh looking pulling out my phone to check the time."Shit I'm gonna be late for first." I pick up my bag quickly fixing my hair and make up in the mirror as best I can before running out of the bathroom and down the hall to my class.
