Matt hated it. He hated all of it. The girl he loved was always so hurt and depressed. It killed him. Matt was a triplet. Nick and Chris were his triplet brothers. You have been their friend since middle school and you and Matt started dating freshman year. Your other friends never truly saw you. Never really knew you. But they did. Your parents never paid much attention to you either.

You deserved the whole world in Matt’s eyes. But you had been chipped down to this depressed 17 year old girl who could barely get out of bed. Barely ate. Barely slept. He hated your parents for never noticing, too. You walked around the house with scars covering your entire body, and they didn’t notice. Or maybe they did and they just didn’t care.

Matt was sitting in his car with nick and Chris after school. Matt was driving- he was the only one with his license even though they were all the same age. Matt’s fingers tapped against the steering wheel nervously. You didn’t show up to school. Either, 1, you were laying in bed and just didn’t have the energy to get up. Or, 2, your were dead. At least, that’s all that went through Matt’s mind. He had to see you. He didn’t care what state you were in. He’s bandaged your cuts before, bathed you when you couldn’t even get up. He just needs to see you.

You’ve been like this since 7th grade. The seemingly endless pit of depression, anxiety, and insecurity. Matt knows you’re so strong for still being here. Especially after you have attempted 16 times, that Matt knows of. But your still here.

Matt pulls up to your house, and walks in with nick and Chris. Your parents were gone somewhere, probably on drugs. Great, you’ve been alone, too. They made their way to your room. Matt opened your door and walked in, nick and Chris following in. The smell of metallic filled their noses. A familiar smell of blood. Their eyes filled with tears.

Matt walked to your bed, sitting next to you, you were covered in a mound of blankets. Nick crouched by his side, his hand on his knee. Nick was always an anchor for Matt. Chris sat on the floor near nick. They just sat silently. Tears slowly and silently fell from their eyes. Why does this have to happen to the love of his life..
