Finally, Erin turned 13. The next time Erin went online she told everyone, " Guys, I'm sorry, but I've been lying. My names Erin- not Bob- and I'm 13 years old. I like to sing, draw, play sports, and play instruments." Everyone one was surprised. They had all thought she was Bob. Most of her friends didn't mind that much. Only one person wa really upset- Yasamin. Yasamin refused to talk to Erin. This made Erin feel terrible, Erin kept begging Yasamin to forgive her but she wouldn't.
Erin cried... Often. She didn't know what else to do. Pretty soon she just didn't care about anything. Hiding her depression from people in real life wa easy for her. One week she ate absolutely nothing. Her parents didn't come home until late at night, so they werent home to see her skip dinner. Then run couldn't skip any more meals- she was starving.
Several times she thought about killing herself. Erin couldn't stop going online and talking to people in the chats. She never killed herself, she couldn't bare the thought of how sad her family would be. Eventually, Yasamin started taking to Erin again. Erin no longer felt depressed or suicidal, she felt... happy. Her new friends in real life made her laugh and have fun. Erin didn't want this feeling to escape her grasp ever again.
