Sebastian runs his tongue over his top lip and buries his head into his pillow.
God, he's so tired.
There's a familiar click of a door slamming followed by a stream of burning light.
"Sebastian, we need to talk." It's Jeff.
Sebastian pulls his knees to his chest and closes his eyes. Hoping that will make him magically go away.
Jeff lets out a heavy sigh and sits down on the edge of the bed.
"Please Bastian..." He sounds so desperate.
Sebastian opens his eyes ever so slightly and locks his emerald orbs onto Jeff's blue ones.
He doesn't dare move though. Jeff can't see what he did.
Jeff forces a smile onto the corners of his mouth. "What's wrong?" He asks.
Sebastian isn't sure how to put it in words.
"It hurts." Is the most coherent answer he can come up with.
Jeff's smile falters for a moment. "What?" He says in a soft voice.
Sebastian gathers enough courage to show him.
A line of four cuts, caked in dried blood and still fresh.
Jeff takes a deep breath, mumbling something under.
Sebastian looks away. "I'm sorry." He whispers.
Jeff stiffens. "Oh God, don't be. You did nothing wrong."
Sebastian curls in on himself some more.
Jeff rests his hand on Sebastian's shoulder blade and supplies comforting words the best he can.
Sebastian closes his eyes again and lets Jeff believe he's sleeping.
The door clicks again. Nick and Trent.
"How is- Oh God, what's wrong?" Nick says. Jeff's crying.
"He cut. I thought he was just upset about the slushy thing, not depressed." Jeff says between quiet sobs.
Trent is gently hushing him now.
"I'll go get his stuff from the bathroom." Nick says in a cold tone.
"Why?" Jeff asks.
"His razor, blade, knife, glass, whatever he used to cut." Nick replies.
Sebastian knows what he'll find.
One of Jeff's razors lying blood stained in the shower next to his uniform.
He hears Nick sigh loudly.
"I feel so stupid." Jeff says from next to him.
He can't stand it.
"I'm so sorry." Sebastian mumbles into the fabric of his sheets.
Jeff's breathing picks up and it's Trent who comforts him this time.
"It's okay..." He sounds unsure though.
Sebastian runs his lip over his lips.
He feels exhausted now.
