Hope and Love

I texted Ryder to see if my friends could come over and he said sure. So right now I'm in Claire's car heading towards my recent placement at Ryders place. I told him not to bother to pick me up after school due to my friends coming over. "Turn up here. Go straight and pull up into the grey mansion over here." I give directions to Clair. Flyer, Mark, and Connor sit in the back seat playing a dumb game as usual.
"Ok guys were here." Everyone turns their head towards me before gawking at the mansion in front of their eyes. We get out and everyone at once starts stating their comment.
"Shit this is some sick place man." Flyer says.
"God, I wish I could live here. This place is awesome!" Connor says.
"I'm gonna freakin die." Mark says.
Claire just stares at the mansion taking it all in. The front door opens and Ryder steps out. Claire squeaks like a little girl and runs up to him. "OMG I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD MEET THE LEGEND OF OUR SCHOOL!" She practically screams.
"Well, Reed, you have a fun bunch of friends." He mutters walking over to me and grabbing me into a side hug. "How's my favorite cuz?"
"For the fact of matter, I'm your only 'cuz' and I'm doing great as of the moment." I show a fake smile as Ryder raises his eyebrow not believing me. Flyer comes up beside me Mark following behind. Claire runs over and leans against Mark. Connor makes his way over here slowly.
"Ryder this is Claire, Mark, Flyer, and Connor. My friends." I point each one out.
"So this is Flyer. I've heard so much about you." Ryder says as Flyer blushes slightly. "I've heard you're gonna become the new legend." Ryder smirks showing off his perfectly white teeth.
"Ok Ryder stop showing off. Let's go inside." I take off into the house being followed by everyone else. I grin to myself when I see Clair blushing as Ryder talks to her. I'm glad she finally likes someone other than the dickbag of our school. Ryder pushes her hair out her face, a simple gestures but gets her blushing like crazy. I laugh causing em to look over towards me.
I hold my hands up in surrender. "Don't kill me." I joke earning two smacks to my arm. "God, what is up with everyone hitting me today?" I screech.
"It's fun." Claire responds and I smack her back.

Everyone left already and I head up to my bedroom going straight to the computer. I log into my IMad account and see I have 50 something new notifications. Wow. I look through the comments tears springing in my eyes.
Hey fag you should go die!
Your nothing. No one wants you here.
GO kill yourself, you're a piece of shit.
Your invading our space get out.
Your polluting our air. We're suffocating with you here.
Tears flow out of my eyes as I read through the comments. I finally slam the lid shut sniffling quietly. I run into the bathroom thinking I locked the door. I pull my sleeve up and look at all the scars on my arm. I sigh in defeat my body controlling me. I grab the razors and cut over the scars first before going to fresh skin. I wince a little when I put too much pressure. 10 cuts. I'm about to make another cut when the door opens.
I look up to see Ryder looking down at me tears in his eyes. That's all I see before everything goes black.
