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 .
