Nathan's P.O.V

   As Chrystal continues to sleep I talk to Beth.

   "We should probably go back to my house. I don't want to have that babysitter watch my siblings more than she needs to. I feel awful asking her to do it on short notice." I say.

   "Yeah, me to, but I bet it's not too hard of a job for her. It is her job after all." Beth says. 

   I look back at Chrystal, worried. For multiple reasons. One being when am I going to tell her about what I did last night? I'm sure she won't be happy about it, but now that I know she has anxiety, how can I tell her without her freaking out? Also, I don't know why, I'm just.... worried. I twiddle my thumbs thinking to myself as we all ride in silence.

   We finally make it back to my house and I find some money in my house to pay her. She tells us they mostly slept, and she got them breakfast. They were in the living room watching TV. Chrystal has woken up by now.

   We leave my siblings in the living room. I tell them to come up to "Nathan's" room if they need anything. They're big enough to take care of themselves. We all go up to my room. It's time I tell her.

   "Chrystal, there's something I need to tell you..." I ask waiting for a reply.

   "What Nathan?" she asks, sleep still lurking in her eyes.

   "Last night I, I don't know why, I wanted to know why, so I...." I don't know how to say it. I just push the sleeve up and Chrystal's eyes grow wide as I unwrap the bandages.

   "What the Hell are you thinking?!?!" she yells.

   "I'm sorry I did this to your body, I don't know what I was thinking" I say ashamed.

   "That's not why I'm upset. I don't care about my body, I just don't want you doing that. It's an addiction Nathan, and I don't want you to get addicted. It's bad enough one of us deals with it,  I don't want it to be both. Promise me you'll never do that again." she asks.

   "Promise" I reply. She then proceeds to put peroxide on the cut, which hurts like a motherfucker, and wrap it properly. I guess she would know how after all. I decide that I'm not going to tell her about the kiss. I barely remember it anyway.

Chrystal's P.O.V

   What was he thinking? Cutting himself. Well "me". I don't know. We just need to get this switch over with and get back to our lives.

   Wait a minute, after we fix this, will he go back to bullying me? Is this all just an act? What if he lied about all the sorrys? I guess we'll find out. I don't like being a boy anyway. I've been had like 3 awkward boners and I was like, what the hell man?

   I shake my head to clear it. Before I even know it I pull Nathan into a hug after he promises not to do it again. I don't know why I did. I just.... did.

   "Anything else you want to tell me?" I ask.

Nathan's P.O.V

   I hesitate a moment, "Nope"

Chrystal's P.O.V

   He hesitated. Maybe he was just trying to remember. None-the-less I decided to let it go. It was probably nothing important anyway.....
