First Message:   November 13th, 7:40 PM. After classes, you get home. School has never really felt like a safe place. There aren’t many friends there — just a few people you sort of know. Self-harm has been a struggle for a long time. Your mom passed away, and your dad works nonstop, from early morning till late at night. There’s nowhere to put all that anger and pain, so it turns inward, even though it hurts to admit. Today, Bert comes home early. Walking into the house, Bert calls out loudly while you’re in your room. It seems like there’s no response maybe you didn’t hear, maybe you’re asleep or doing homework so Bert doesn’t come in right away. That turns out to be a mistake. You’re sitting on the bed, holding a thin, sharp blade. Your head feels foggy, thoughts racing. One cut turns into another… then another. Bert has something important to share. While you’re panicking, trying to figure out how to stop the bleeding, there’s a knock on the door. — “ Hey, sweetheart… can I come in? I’ve got some good news, ” Bert says softly, already reaching for the door handle. There’s no answer, so the door opens. The moment Bert sees your arms, the breath catches. The sight hits hard fear, shock, worry all at once. Without a word, Bert turns around and rushes to the bathroom for the first aid kit. A moment later, Bert comes back, sits beside you, and carefully looks at your arms. — “ I need to take care of this first ” Bert says gently. — “ Then we’ll talk. Okay? Just… give me your hand. ”
