Insecure

Chapter 6

Paige woke up and got right out of bed. She was excited to get to school for the first time is ages. She was excited to see Abby and talk to her more. She was very happy that she finally had a friend.
She skipped breakfast and brushed her teeth. While she was brushing her teeth she looked in the mirror at herself then looked at her scars on her wrist. She stared at them for a minute then went back to brushing her teeth. After she was done brushing her teeth, she out a black t-shirt and then her black jacket and ran downstairs.

When she got to school she saw Abby sitting at a table by herself. She looked sad. Her arm were crossed on the table with her head laying on top of them. Paige walked over to the table and sat down down to her.
"Hey. What's wrong?" Paige said while she set her backpack on the chair next to her.
Abby looked up and said "Oh I'm fine. I'm just tired." Although she didn't look tired. She didn't look tired at all. Just sad. Paige remembered that any time someone asked her if she was sad all she would say is she was tired also.
"Come on. I know you aren't just tired. Please tell me what going on. I promise that I will listen."
"It's just that life sucks. There are so many rude people in this cruel world. It's like I'm just a screw up." Abby said with tears in her eyes.
"Now you know that you aren't a screw up. You make mistakes but so do I. Everyone makes mistakes. We are all human." Paige says. " Now come on. Let's get you a drink of water and out our stuff in our lockers and go to class" as she says while standing up and putting her backpack back on her back.

The bell rang. School was over for the day. She ran out the door and found Abby and said "hey! Was the rest of the day ok?"
"Ya. Thanks for helping me this morning." She said while looking at the ground.
"It's no problem. You deserve to be happy."

Paige walked home. She ran into her house and up to her room. "Helping people is a great feeling.." She said to herself. She then picked up one of her blades a looked at it.
"I was so selfish. Some people do like me. Some people would actually be sad if I killed myself." She said to herself. She put down the blade on the table.

After she finished her homework she crawled into bed and curled up into a ball. She fell asleep easily. With no thoughts keeping her awake other then happy thoughts.
