Literal Garbage

Dark Love

(Written at the beginning of my emo phase. Self-harm warning btw this was a whole decision, tbh. I kind of like it just for how dramatic it is lol. I hope you're all enjoying how crappy all of this has been.)

Shawn

It was the end of the school day, a girl that had locker behind me stood cursing into it. She slammed the locker and the motion made her arm bleed, the red liquid spilled through her white sweatshirt sleeve. She stumbled off to the girl's bathroom murmuring to herself.

A few minutes later she walked back out with a different black sweatshirt on. Tripping over herself... clearly dizzy from the blood loss. I walked up to her everyone having already left school. "What do you want?" she asked as I walked next to her. I graded out a cracker pack and handed it to her "it will help wit the dizziness." she handed it back. "I ate an apple for lunch... I really shouldn't" she said as I took it back. I looked at her body she was boney, she had thin black hair with red tips and occasional red streaks. She had pale skin.

"Who are you?" she asked. "I'm Shawn Mcgee... You?" I asked. "Rachel Anderson... why are you not beating the hell out of me?" she asked. "Well, normally I'm on the receiving end..." I said as we walked down the school stairs. "I say we become allies..." Rachel said. "Sure... can I walk you home?"

'Yeah"

"What's your family like?"

"Don't know I've been living alone since I was 14"

"Huh me too..." I said kind of shocked.

Rachel

Okay, what just happened? Was someone being nice to me? "Where do you live?" he asked. "Cherry blossoms apartments..." I said as I looked at him. He had black hair with blue tips, he was definitely attractive. "Huh what floor?" he asked "the 13th" I responded "I live on the 12th," he stated. "I find it odd I've never noticed you?" she asked. "Do you keep to yourself?" I asked. "Yeah you?" he said as we walked down the street towards the apartment building. "Yeah..."

At the apartment building in the elevator

"Oh look the little emo slut has a boyfriend..." Bryan Reynolds said. "Good to see you..." I responded trying to just ignore him. "Come on you little slut! Let's play!" he said as he pushed me up against the elevator wall. The door opened for his floor on the 11th. Shawn grabbed him off of me and threw him out of the elevator as the doors closed. When they did close. I thanked him... "thanks." I said trying to calm myself back down." you okay?" he asked clearly concerned. "Yeah, i'm used to it. I said as I pulled my shirt up to show the bruises from a few days prior. "Okay yeah you are going to stay with me for a few days just to make sure he isn't too pissed I threw him out of an elevator..." he said grabbing my hand leading me off of the elevator on the twelfth floor. "You really don't have to!" I said as he took me down halls. He stopped at a door with a piece of paper on it. "EVICTED?!" he asked angrily. I looked at the sheet he was right. "You've got one day to get out... I guess you could stay wit me for a while..." I said.

Shawn

Did she really mean that? Why was I so excited? I was just evicted... did I have a crush on her? I mean she was pretty... and she seemed nice, she has the same style as me. I looked back on the day. the bleeding... she probably cuts

"I had an apple for lunch today... I really shouldn't..." Was she anorexic? Am I really falling for her? There is no way she could ever love me... she is way out of my league...

"Yeah, i'll stay with you... can you help me uh pack up my stuff... it's not much we will probably only need about one box and I think I've got one.
