Don’t Look Down

I was standing in the bathroom, ready to do it again. Instead I just sat down and cried.
When I left the stall, I made my way to the mirror. Every time I feel hurt or I'm upset with myself, I always stare at myself in the mirror. It gives me some sort of comfort. Maybe because I see I'm still the same person, maybe because it shows me things aren't as bad as they feel, maybe because I don't feel alone. Whatever the reason, I stood there looking at myself for a long time.
The bell rang. I ignored it. I'm still a mess.
I clean myself up a few minutes later, then make my way to class. Of course I'm late.
Gallagher tells everyone to make their way to the library. I stand up to leave.

Gallagher: Brandon...stay.
