One look at Linc and Wyatt burst into tears. Linc’s heart plummeted into his stomach. He rushed to his side. “What’s wrong? Are you okay? Are you in pain?” Wyatt just shook his head. “I’m so sorry. I’m so, so sorry. I lied to you. I knew I was going to end up cutting again. But I didn’t mean to cut so deep. I wasn’t trying to…kill myself. Not really. I swear. Not—I just wanted to cut a little. I didn’t mean to scare you. I told Charlie I’d go to counseling. I promised and I will.”
