Happy little accident (Book 1)

Hurting

TW; self harm

For the next three days, Glynda wouldn't talk or even look at anyone, she wouldn't eat, move, or make a sound. She just looked up at the ceiling, playing with the same lock of hair Jem did before his coma..

"Glynda.."

Grace slowly opened the door, Glynda gripped her hair, as if she was about to pull it out. Grace put a plate next to her, with a handful of goldfish on it.

"Please.. I know it's not a lot but please eat.. for me?"

Glynda started to spin her fingers through her hair again, not looking away from the sky blue ceiling, not saying a word or blinking. Grace sighed

"I love you little sis-"

Glynda still didn't answer as Grace closed the door, Glynda looked at the plate next to her and got out of bed, her entire body hurt.. she had lost five pounds and she felt like absolute shit.

She slowly and carefully went down the stairs, ignoring the pain in her heel as she did so, she slowly walked to the kitchen, when James and Grace saw her walking, they looked at Glynda in amazement, not knowing what to say. She walked over the the coffee pot and had a short flashback of falling down the stairs.. which sent her into a panic attack. She felt like everything was her fault, why was she here?

Why did Gabe even talk to her? How could James still love her? How could Cinder want to be a part of her life? How could her kids handle her?

She backed up in the corner of the kitchen, crouching down and hiding her face between her legs and her arms over her hair, she cried semi silently, when Grace James and Cinder walked up to her and tried to calm her down, she grabbed a knife from the counter above herself, they all backed away, she cut her own arm and screeched, as she was taken out of her mini PTSD attack, Cinder and Grace ran up to her, Cinder took the knife and threw it far away from Glynda, Grace put her hand on Glynda shoulder, her hand glowing pink and Glynda instantly calmed down, tears streaming down her face still but she didn't make a noise. Cinder was moving all the sharp things away so Glynda couldn't grab them, she glared at James

"What the fuck!? Go get Gabe! Stop staring! Glynda just cut herself with a knife! Make yourself useful!"

James snapped out of it and stormed into Gabe's room, waking him up.

"Gabe! We need you! Glynda cut herself-"

Gabe's eyes widened as he jumped up and uh into his bag, getting rubbing alcohol, white bandage, and cloth. He ran downstairs to his sister and took her arm, Glynda tried to stop him but Cinder and Grace held her down, trying to calm her down. Gabe put the cloth on her long cut, applying as much pressure as he could, Glynda screamed at him, he started to tear up but didn't stop.

"Gabe! Your hurting me-"

She kicked him away, her wound was still open, Grace held her legs down and Gabe put the cloth on her arm again, James blocked the doorway so Jack and Sam would stop trying to get in, Jack used his semblance so time stopped completely, except for him and Sam. They pushed past James and took the cloth off Glynda's wound, applying rubbing alcohol and bandaging it up before starting time normally again, Glynda looked at the bandage and her eyes widened

"I-I don't know what I did-"

She muttered, looking up at Jack as she was still sitting down.

"What happened?"
