Yeah, Abc, whemeber these thoughts come into your head, remember us telling you that noone can bring you down, and your better than him. Just think of us cheering you on. Tell somebody, a helpline, where they dont know you, and tell them everything. They dont know you, and youll feel better. Best of luck, loves x
