They gathered at Emma's house, where the living room was transformed into a cozy movie theater.

The group settled into plush bean bags and couches, surrounded by an array of snacks and drinks.

They eagerly discussed which movies to watch, debating between classic comedies, heartwarming dramas, and thrilling adventures. Eventually, they settled on a mix of films that would satisfy everyone's preferences.

As the first movie began, laughter erupted throughout the room.

The characters on the screen mirrored their own teenage experiences, reminding them of the ups and downs they had faced together.

They reminisced about the trials and tribulations of high school, reflecting on the friendships that had helped them navigate through it all.

During the movie, Kamari's infectious humor kept everyone entertained with his witty remarks and spot-on impressions.

Ellie, known for her sharp observations, engaged in insightful conversations about the characters' motivations and the deeper meanings behind the storylines.

And Marco, with his artistic sensibilities, noticed the cinematography and soundtrack, appreciating the film on a different level.

Between films, the group took breaks to chat, share personal stories, and bond over their common experiences.

They discovered that despite the differences in their backgrounds, they all faced similar challenges and had dreams for the future.

These conversations deepened their connection, fostering a sense of unity and understanding.

As the movie night came to an end, the group felt a bittersweet mix of satisfaction and longing for more time together.

They realized that their gathering had transcended mere entertainment-it had become a celebration of friendship and a testament to the power of shared experiences.

With hugs and promises to meet again soon, they bid each other goodnight, cherishing the memories they had created.

Each member of the group carried a piece of the movie night in their hearts, knowing that no matter where life took them, their bond would remain unbreakable.

And so, as the credits rolled on their movie night, the friends, Kamari, Marco, and Ellie, felt a profound sense of gratitude for the connections they had forged.

They knew that their friendship would continue to evolve, just like the characters they had come to love and the stories they had shared.

Kamari knocks on the bathroom door, "Ellie we've got to go." Kamari says

Ellie doesn't respond this draws worry to Kamari, "Ellie?" He asks

He hears her crying and his eyes widen, we cut into the bathroom Ellie is about to cut herself.

Before she can begin a hand grabs her wrist, "Don't." Kamari says taking the weapon from her; Ellie's eyes widen, Kamari hugs her tightly, "It won't relieve the pain...just make it worse."

Ellie breaks out into tears as she rests her head against Kamari's bawling her god damn eyes out, Minutes later they're both sitting next to each other in the bathroom, "It was just all hitting me at once, I thought the cutting would relieve it but it only came back stronger and stronger." Ellie says

Kamari looks down and sighs, "Im sorry you're going through a powerful mental battle." He says, "But more pain isn't the solution to your pain."

Ellie looks down as kamari looks at her, "I want you to think about this each time you think about going back to the blade...God has our best interests in his heart right?" Kamari asks

"Of course." Ellie says

"If he wanted you to be harmed, he would have no choice but to harm you it's the only way you'll learn...but if he wanted you unharmed, you'd be unharmed." Kamari says, "Why would you harm yourself?"

Ellie freezes, "I'll wait for you in the car." Kamari says walking out.

Ellie is left to contemplate.

Ellie is at her house, she opens a drawer and sees her blades, she goes for one but stops as words ring in her head.

"If he wanted you to be harmed, he would have no choice but to harm you it's the only way you'll learn...but if he wanted you unharmed, you'd be unharmed."

She hesitated but then closed the drawer and looked at herself in the mirror before getting into the bed and falling asleep.

Kamari the next day yells as he closes his locker and there stands Ellie, "For why!" He shouts angrily.

"You really helped me Kamari, thank you so much." She says

"Don't mention it." Kamari says patting her head and walking off.

One sunny morning, Kamari surprised Ellie with a basket filled with her favorite flowers.

He knew that nature had a way of soothing the soul, and he hoped that the vibrant colors and sweet fragrances would bring a spark of joy to Ellie's heart.

As she received the unexpected gift, a faint smile appeared on Ellie's face, a glimmer of hope shining through her eyes.

Kamari didn't stop there. He knew that Ellie needed more than just a momentary distraction.

He wanted to help her rediscover her passions and find a sense of purpose. So, he gently encouraged Ellie to join him in activities they both enjoyed.

Together, they took long walks in the park, breathing in the fresh air and basking in the beauty of nature.

Kamari knew that exercise had the power to release endorphins and improve one's mood, so he made sure they stayed active and engaged.

In the evenings, Kamari would invite Ellie to his home, where they would cook and share meals together.

He knew that good food had a way of nourishing not only the body but also the soul.

Through these simple acts of kindness, Kamari hoped to create a safe space for Ellie, where she could open up and share her thoughts and feelings.

As the days turned into weeks, Kamari noticed a positive change in Ellie. Her smiles became more frequent, her laughter more genuine. He was overjoyed to see his friend slowly emerging from the shadows of depression.

One day, as they sat on a bench overlooking a serene lake, Ellie turned to Kamari with tears in her eyes.

She thanked him for his unwavering support, expressing how much his kindness had meant to her.

Kamari, humbled by her words, reassured her that he would always be there for her, no matter what.

The two hug as we fade out.
