Ashley just nodded yes. Bette put her arm round Ashley and they walked towards Jess.

All three of them sat next to Jess none of them saying a word. Jess had been hiding her arms. She got up and began walking away. Bette looked at Tina and Ashley before getting up and following her.

“Jess running away won’t solve anything sweetheart” Bette said softly

“I don’t know what else to do so it’s working for me” Jess told

“How about you tell me how your feeling” Bette suggested

“I don’t know how im feeling Bette…Im hurt that people wont accept me for who I am…I didn’t exactly ask to be gay it just happened.” Jess said as she continued walking.

“You know I really think you just need to talk to someone instead of bottling everything up.” Bette said she was looking at Jess and was concerned that she was hiding her arms and hands.

“Why you hiding your arms and hands sweetheart” Bette asked softly

“I erm did something stupid and couldn’t finish it” Jess said

“Can I see?”

Jess stopped and looked at Bette and then to her arms. She thought for a second and then lifted up her sleeve to reveal a deep cut on her left wrist. Bette bit her bottom lip.

“Is that the only thing you have done?” Bette asked

“Yes” Jess answered

“I think we should take you to the hospital to get that checked out”

“NO!!!” Jess snapped and then took of running.

“SHIT” Bette said

Tina and Ashley were watching from a distance. Ashley took off running after her.

“She has a deep cut on her left wrist T” Bette explained going back to the car followed by Tina.

“Jess stop running away from me” Ashley shouted after her

“Ashley just leave me”

“No…You can kiss me tell me you want to be with me then fucking run away when things get tough that isn’t fair” Ashley argued

“I’m only going to make things harder for you” Jess said stopping and facing Ashley

“Who are you to decide that Jess…There you go assuming things yet again” Ashley snapped
