Willow finally starts seeing more of the guy at school she's interested in, and interestingly enough his name is actually Guy. One day the two were sitting outside on the lawn at school and he noticed there was blood coming through the arm of her white shirt. Not thinking it was anything like what it would turn out to be, he lifted up her shirt sleeve and what he saw made him speechless. Right away he realized what she was doing, and was shocked but instead of running away to avoid the problem he held her arm and began cleaning the wounds with supplies from his gym bag. (This was my favorite part of the book.) This made her already strong attraction to him even stronger. Willow wondered why someone she barely knew would do something so caring for her. From that point on Guy was the only person Willow could talk to about her cutting problems. Her best friend from her old school didn't talk to her, well, she tried. Every time she would phone, Willow would just let the call go to voicemail. She desperately wanted to be able to talk to her best friend again but she just couldn't bare to discuss her parents death. Knowing that would surely be brought up bothered her. She didn't like sympathy from people over her parent's death. To her that just made everything worse.
^ Basically sums up why Willow didn't tell anyone about her addiction. Society would either view her as crazy or attention-seeking.
