Twilight's phone rang. "I gotta take this." Twilight then stepped outside. I leaned against the door. I was sitting on the floor before. I was hearing Twilight on the phone.

"Mom, you both were together! - What am I gonna do? - No. I don't want to discuss this when we get back, I want you to tell me full detail now!" I didn't know what was going on. I just knew she was upset and she was on the phone with her mom.

"Uh, Sunset? Are you eavesdropping on her?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes. I want to know what's going on." I said.

"But what if it's personal?" Fluttershy asked.

I love Fluttershy but she was really good at making me feel bad sometimes. Like at the Friendship Games when I felt awful for yelling at Twilight.

About 15 minutes later, Twilight walked back in. She looked upset.

"Twilight, what's going on?" I asked.

"Well for someone who doesn't tell her secrets sure asks for everyone else to tell their secrets to you. I think I'm gonna go to bed." Twilight said, in a kind of attitude. It was 10:30pm. Honestly, I feel bad for asking. Twilight went fast asleep.

It was 11:30 PM when the others decided to go to sleep. Well, except for me.

"Sunset, are you doing okay?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Y-Yeah. I'm fine." I lied.

"Darling what happened to your arms?" Rarity was looking at my cuts. busted

"Oh these? They are just scratch marks." I lied.

I glanced at my phone and saw that I got a text.

Unknown Number: Everyone's hiding something. So are you. You liar! ;)

"Really? I know you're hiding something." Rainbow Dash said.

"I'm not! Now go to sleep." I turned off the light.

"Sunset, you know you can always talk to us." Rarity said.

"I know. I'm not hiding anything. Goodnight!" I said.

I laid in bed. They fell fast asleep. I looked at my wrists. I can't believe they noticed them..... I don't do it that often. I only do it when I feel overwhelming emotions. All the girls are worried about me. But I'm broken and I can't be fixed. I laid there and cried. It was another sleepless night. Why would I sleep? I had nightmares anyways. I buried my face in my pillow and cried.

I then got up and went into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, and as I did, I heard voices in my head. Stupid. Worthless. Why are you trying? You're not a good person as your friends say you are. I just sat on the floor and cried. I grabbed a blade and slit my arms. Then I sat on the floor and cried. Then I heard a knock on the door.

"Sunset?" It was Twilight.

"Yes?"

"Are you doing okay in there?"

"I-I'm-" I got quiet. I knew I was not fine and I wanted to say that so badly. I am internally screaming for help. But it won'y come out. But I didn't want them to worry.

"Well?"

"It's fine! I just couldn't sleep and I'm still not over the river incident!" It was half-true.

"I feel like there's something more."

"Just- it's nothing. Nothing important." I mumbled the last part.

I got up and opened the bathroom door. Twilight pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back.

"What about you?" I asked

"About last night? It was nothing. My mom just wanted to talk to me." I knew she was lying, but I didn't want to pressure her.

At 7:30 AM, the other girls woke up.

Me and Twilight were already dressed.

"Why are you guys up so early?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"We couldn't sleep that well. We were just so excited for today!" I lied.

The girls went to go get dressed. It was just me and Twilight in the room.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Twilight looking at my arm. I knew what question was gonna come next.

"What happened to your arm?" Twilight asked.

"Oh those are scratch marks, they've always been there." I lied.

"Really? I know you're lying." Twilight said.

"I'm fine!" I lied.

Applejack overheard me from the other room while getting dressed and she stepped out.

"Whenever you're ready to admit that you're not fine, you know who to tell." Applejack said.

After all the girls were done getting dressed, we all grabbed our suitcases and headed for the bus.

"Sunset, you're next shift." Rainbow said.

I went and sat on the driver's seat. I buckled up my seat belt and turned around. "Where are we headed for breakfast?" I asked.

"I hear there's a cafe called Grumpy's Cafe. We should go there!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Okay. I just need a GPS." I said.

Twilight handed me her GPS. "Use this."

The drive took us 5 minutes. We arrived. Honestly, I wasn't THAT hungry so I ordered Coffee. After eating and stuff, we went back on the bus.

"Hey! We should go to Marble Head. It's in Ohio and it's an hour away! There are many cool places there." Twilight said.

"So who objects?" Applejack asked. No one said anything.

"Then it's settled. I'll set the GPS for Marble Head." Twilight said.

After she set the GPS, we were ready to go. After 30 minutes, we were on the highway. I hit something and the bus stopped. "The bus stopped." I turned around to face the others.

"I'll go and check." Applejack said as she stepped out of the bus. "We ran over a pot hole and we have a flat tire and we have no spare wheels!"

"WHAT?!" Pinkie screamed.
