Jasmines POV
I sat there in the bathtub , lying in the once clear water . I had sunk down so low that only my eyes were above the water .
The bath was scarlet due to all the blood dripping out my fresh cuts . I tried hard not to cry but the tears came pouring out .
Why was everything bad always happen to me ? Why can't I be a normal girl who meets their soulmate and there happy together ? I mean it's not like I've met my soulmate yet but I had gut feeling our relationship wasn't going to be easy .
No one knows I self harm , not even my doctors or my dad . I normally cover it with make up so no one can see the big ugly scars stretching over my skin .
I did it because when I lashed out at my skin I felt a sudden warmth run through my body and it made me shiver . It wasn't until the next day that the pain started .
It was all my fault , I mean maybe my parents would be still together if it weren't for me . The words my mum said replayed through my mind everyday ; "I never wanted you "
No one needed me , I don't think anyone wanted me around anyway . I was scared , I felt alone and lost .
I quickly hauled myself out the bathtub and pulled the plug . I looked at how the Scarlett water swirled around and went down the drain .
I closed my eyes for a while trying to calm myself down .
"Come on jasmine , stay strong ," I muttered to myself .
I grabbed the towel and walked out the bathroom into my room .
I quickly hit play on my phone which was plugged into my dock . "Her last words " by Courtney Parker started playing .
I started singing along going to my wardrobe and pulled out my red checkered shirt , my ripped black skinny jeans , my converse and my black beanie .
I grabbed the bandage which was his at the back of my wardrobe and strafed thing it around my already puffy skin .
After getting changed I walked out the house and saw a little park across the street . I quickly crossed the road and walked to the swings .
I don't know how long I was on the swings but someone tapped me on the shoulder .
"Hey may I swing here ," a short brown haired teenager the same age as me asked .
I nodded readjusting myself on the swing .
"I've never seen you around here before , are you new here?" He asked looking at me quizzically .
"Umm yeah my names jasmine I just moved from America ," I said smiling at him .
"Well welcome jasmine , my names Alex ," he said reaching his hand towards you .
You reached over and shakes his hand laughing a little .
"I think we're going to be good friends " he replied smirking .
And you smirked back at him sticking your tongue out at him .
"Are you sure , I mean no one can handle me ," you said smugly .
"Well it would be my pleasure to be able to the first person to handle you ," he said laughing .
Isac's POV
"But mum why can't you get someone to babysit her, I was meant to go to Alex's house ," I moaned a little annoyed .
"She's your sister Isac !" She said rolling her eyes . " you have to spend time with her ,"
"Please ? Me and your dad haven't been able to go out for so long now ," she said sadly .
"Fine !" I said throwing my hands up .
I went upstairs and grabbed my phone which was on my bedside table . I dialled Alex's number and waited for him to pick up .
"Hi Isac ," he said laughing .
"Sorry but I can't come , I have to babysit ," I said scratching my neck .
I heard a little giggle come from the other line . It was a girls voice and it sent shivers down my back .
"Don't worry , we have school soon anyway , I'll see you then ," he said a little muffled .
I heard a little chain of swear words from the girl and I laughed a little .
"Bye " I said hanging up quickly .
Ava walked into the room and said quietly " I'm sorry your stuck with me , I know you were meant to go to aleck house ,"
"Nah it's fine I'd rather spend time with you ," I said to liking her a little .
We decided we would watch a Disney movie , so we went downstairs and I loaded the cd whilst Ava got the popcorn ready .
But I couldn't concentrate on the movie because I was wondering who that mysterious girl was and how come her voice sent shivers down my body .
