Leila and Greeley talked, discussing what they could do for his birthday. Leila asked, "What do आप want for your birthday, Greeley?" He replied, "I would like to spend the दिन with you, my friend." She said, "I know that, but I mean what do आप want as a gift?" He said, "A simple card will be fine. आप don't have to get me anything special." She said, "But you're my friend, and आप gave me a great gift for my birthday in March. I have to return the favor." He said, "All right. Surprise me." She said, "I'll figure something out." After a pause, Greeley said, "My mother will be baking a cake." Leila said, "That's wonderful. What's a birthday without cake?" He said, "That's what I'm saying. It's going to be chocolate." She said, "That's your favorite, right?" He said, "That's right." She then asked, "What do आप want to do for your birthday?" He said, "I don't know yet." She said, "Well, your birthday is in three days. आप need to decide quickly." He said, "Don't worry. I'll figure it out." Greeley didn't figure out anything, but Leila did. She learned that the band, New Religion, was going to be giving an outdoor concert. With help from her aunt and uncle, she bought two tickets. This would be perfect for Greeley.
After a long time of getting bullied, I began to consider self-harm. I confessed this consideration to Zoe and Gavin. Zoe said, "Please don't hurt yourself. It's not the answer." Gavin said, "Zoe's right. If आप hurt yourself, you'll have to deal with all those scars. Why do आप want to hurt yourself anyway?" I began to cry. He hugged me and said, "It's all right. आप can tell me." I talked about all the bullying I was facing. Zoe said, "Alyssa, those bullies are just losers. आप have family and फ्रेंड्स who प्यार you." Gavin said, "That's right. आप don't have to hurt yourself. Any time something is bothering you, tell us." I said, "Okay." Zoe said, "If आप hurt yourself, आप won't be the only one who hurts. We'll be hurt, too." I said, "I don't want to hurt आप all." We shared a group hug. Over the years, I gained some फ्रेंड्स and लॉस्ट some, too, but I still had Zoe and Gavin. They will be my closest फ्रेंड्स until the end of time.
