I'm A Grier

Chapter 18

*Skipping Talk*
Dani's POV:

Nash parks the car back home and Hayes storms inside. I hop out of the car. Both Hayes and I are pissed off at Nash. While we were talking, him and Cameron suggested sending Hayes to a shrink. Hayes started crying and when I tried to reason with them neither of them would listen.

I storm inside. 'Becca Danielle Grier,' Nash yells walking inside after me. I turn around. 'What Hamilton,' I spit. 'Its the best option. 'No it's not,' I argue, 'it'll make things worst.' Nash sighs and runs his hands through his hair. 'Well we need to do something,' he says. 'No. I need to do something,' I say, 'you just keep making things worst.'

I go upstairs and walk into Hayes room. He's lying on his bed sobbing into his pillow. I sit next to him. He rolls over and looks at me. 'This is your fault,' he says angrily. 'Dont blame me. I'm helping you,' I say back. 'How? Huh,' Hayes asks? 'Well for starters I'm not the one that's trying to send you to a shrink,' I say. 'Why aren't you agreeing with Nash,' Hayes asks? 'Because I know what it's like,' I say. Hayes looks at me confused. I show him my arms. 'I did it when Kyla died,' I say.

*FlashBack* *2 Years Prior*

'Dani can you come down here,' mum calls upstairs. I walk down. 'Yah,' I ask? 'You might want to sit down,' she says. I start getting worried. I sit on the couch cautiously. 'That was Kyla's mum on the phone,' mum says. 'So,' I ask confused? 'They just found her lying dead in her room,' mum explains, 'there was a pill bottle in her hand.'

'No your lying,' I say. 'Honey I'm so sorry,' mum says hugging me. I burst into tears. 'Mrs Peters is coming round later to give you the letter she wrote for you,' mum says. I nod then go upstairs. I lie down on my bed and sob uncontrollably into my pillow.

I then get up and go into the bathroom. 'Why,' I ask myself? I look in the mirror at my reflection. I see a razor sitting on the sink. It must be Nash's. I pick it up and twirl it round in my fingers. I line it up with my skin. I press down and it cuts into my skin. I do this a few more times before stopping.

*End Of Flashback*

Hayes stares at me in shock. 'I still haven't read the letter to this day,' I say, 'and I don't think I ever will.' Hayes hugs me and cries into my chest. 'Just promise me you'll stop. Because if you die I'll join you,' I say. 'I'll try,' Hayes says.
