The next day,

In am pretty sure that everyone knows yesterday what happened.Someone at school told and now I am pretty sure people are going to find out.

Clay is not coming to school today.His parents suggested it after what happened yesterday.I am not sure if that is a good idea.But I want what is best for him right now.

I walked into school to her murmur of voices in the background.Many voices of it sounds like secrets.

I walked past a group of jocks and when I walked past they stopped talking.

I could stand half the people at this school.Especially since this school caused clay to want to end his life.

And I wasn't going to let that happen.

I walked into the hall and heard people talking.

 I heard someone say. "Hey did you hear that Clay Jensen tried to kill himself yesterday?"

 " do you know what happened?? "

 "I heard someone stopped him right before he was going to die."

 I walked to my locker and tried to ignore it.

I quickly turned the dial and opened my locker.

I then turned to my right and heard people talking about clay.

 "Why did he try to do it?" One guy said.

 " I don't know. " the other one said and shrugged.

I couldn't help myself.

 I leaned over a little and said "maybe if you guys didn't treat him like shit he would not have tried to do that."

 They both looked at me and had speechless looks on there face.I then shut my locker and walked down the hall.

I walked down and heard more people say things about to and one jock came up to me and said "your a true hero Baker for saving Clay Jensen."

 I then nodded and tried to ignore it all around me.It was like I was in a big bubble I couldn't get out of.

I didn't do it for them.I did it for him.I wasn't going to let Clay die.

I then heard the bell ring and I went to mrs.Bradley's class.

I wish clay was here with me.I miss him here.

I walked into the room and sat down in my desk and hear people whispering and giggling.

This school is full of people who don't give a shit about ANYTHING.

I looked over at Clay 's desk and it was empty.

I kept looking over at it and I pictured Him sitting there smiling and being happy and fine.

I should've known something was wrong before.I was just too stupid to even notice that he was going through something.

I should've been there for him before.But now I am going to make it up to him and give him a reason to live and give him love that he hasn't gotten by other people.

The bell then rang agian and peoppe started to flood in.

The teacher then said "attention class.so I guess you guys all heard the news about Clay Jensen.But don't worry he is going to be fine.Thanks to his hero Hannah baker."

 She then smiled and pointed at me and then the class started to clap along with the teacher.

I am not a hero.I should've been there.I should've tooken the sadness and darkness away and helped out when he needed me.

I still feel bad for what happened at the party.I think I must have really hurt him and I didn't mean too.

I guess after that he became more distant and I noticed he wasn't at school as much and was much more quiet.

Plus with the list with worse biceps and people calling him Gay and stuff.Clay needs to know that I don't believe the rumors about him.And I don't care what people say about us and that they are just a bunch of jerks who don't care.

They then stopped clapping and we went with the lesson.

I imagine the school will be talking about me today.that is all they do.I wish Hannah was here.But I know that she would want me there at school too.

and I really thank her.she saved my life and I am thankful that it didn't work out.

But she is right I need to talk to her more about my problems and I feel bad I never went to her when I needed her.

She was right there..and I didn't seem to notice that..

And I know she will try everything to help out and I grateful for that.

I just hope no one is giving her a hard time of school because of this..

The chatter at school has being spreading like wildfire.that is all they talk about.

I walked into the lunch room and found a table and I noticed Tony.

 I walked over to the table and stood across from Tony and said "Hey Tony .."

 He looked up at me and said "Hey Hannah..can we talk?.."

 " Sure.. " I say as I sit down at the table.

 He then leaned towards me and whispered.

 "So it is true..Clay really tried to..-?"

 I nodded and whispered "yes..He did try too."

 He stepped back a little and sat back and had a shocked looked on his face.

 "Why..why would he do something like that?" He said softly making sure no one was listening .

 "Haven't you seen the way people treat him here tony?..like shit.."

 he sighed and said "yea..I know..But I didn't think it was that bad.."

 " me neither.. " I say softly while looking around the lunchroom.

 "What did he say to you..?"

 " He told me that he has had so much pain and everything and he couldn't take it anymore,the rumors..the bullying..all of it.. "

He nodded and said "what did you say..?"

 " well I told him I don't believe the rumors or what they say about you and me..I told him that I loved him..which I should have done long ago.. And he says that he loves me and that he is sorry for doing this.. "

 "Wow..well I am glad you got to him in time Hannah..He is one of my best friends..and I couldn't lose him. ."

 " me neither..and now I am going to be there for him.. "

He then whispered "where is he..?"

 " we told his mom and she thought it was best to stay home today.. "

He was then silent for a moment.

I nodded and sighed and continued to eat my lunch and so did Tony.

After school

I walked out of the school and started to walk home.

It was a boring long walk by myself.

I am going to clay 's house to see how he is doing.

I got to his front door and I knocked slowly and I waited a few minutes.

Mrs.Jensen opened the door and said "Hey Hannah.how is it going?"

 " Umm..good..I wanted to see how clay is doing.. "

she then allowed me in and shut the door and said "Hey has been in his room most of the day.How have things been at school today..?"

 " not that good..it was all they were talking about.. "

She sighed and then said "well that is hard..I hope it gets easier for him..and Hannah really thank you for saving his life."

 " of course mrs.Jensen.I would do anything for him.I love your son very much. "

 "And he loves you." she says in response .

I smiled and said "and I am going to be there for him..I promise." 

 She nodded and said "I know you will honey."

 She then said I could go up and see him.I walked upstairs and went to his door.

I knocked on it and said "Hey it is me.Hannah."

 " come in. " he said.

I slowly opened the door and said "Hey helmet..how are you doing..?"and then closed it.

 " Better..I guess.what about you..? "

 I sat down next to him on his bed and said "well the school knows and that was all they were talking about today..I am sorry about that.."

 " it is okay Hannah..I expected it.. "

I nodded and said "are you going to be okay?."

 " I will be.Thanks to you. " he says with a smile.

I then smiled and sat closer to him and he placed his arms around me while I kissed his cheek.

 "I love you helmet.."

 " I love you too. " he said back.

We then sat there in each other's arms for a little while.

And all I needed was him.
