Tommy's POV

I woke up at about 6 am due to a nightmare. Which did not surprise me because I often get nightmares. I started to stress and remember bits of my nightmare.

"You killed your mother!!"

"It's your fault"

"Die child!!"

I shivered at the thought, but i knew how to fix the problem. I began to get out of bed but something stopped me, I felt a small weight on my chest. I looked down to see Lia sleeping with her head on my chest. I smiled and felt a blush creep onto my face. I pushed it away, and tried to focus my thoughts. I carefully lifted Lia's head off my chest and laid it back on the pillow.

I quickly tip toed to the bathroom and looked at the drawers. I reached down and pulled a small blade out of the drawer. I slumped and plopped myself over in the corner of the room. I remember when I first started cutting myself which believe it or not was about 5 years ago. It felt different back then. Back then I could make one cut and be satisfied. Back then it hurt like hell. Back then I felt a little bad for doing it.

But now I need dozens of cuts to feel ok. Now it barely hurts from the pain tolerance I have built up. And now I know no one would care if I do it. So I just cut without thought. After thinking for a minute I hovered the blade over my skin. I let my muscle memory take over from there.

One
Two
Three
Four
Five

And the list goes on. I was about to make my what probably is my 7th cut when I heard a gasp. I looked up to see Lia in the door way with her hand over her mouth.

Lia's POV

I woke up at around 6:30 am to birds chirping through the open window. I sat up and looked around for Tommy. I noticed the bathroom light on so I thought he would be in there. I "gracefully" stumbled out of bed and started to walk down the hall. I made my way to the bathroom and walked into the door way. Then I saw it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I let out a small gasp but quickly covered my mouth after.

Tommy was sitting in the corner of the bathroom. He had a blade in his hand, what looked like 10 fresh cuts on his arms and there was blood everywhere. The second he saw me Tommy's face turned to pure horror.

"I'm sorry, I'm s-sorry, please don't h-hit me" Tommy stuttered out. I was confused at first and then realized. I bent down in front of him and ran my hand through his hair.

"Tommy it's just me"

"Your safe"

"Your ok"

After a minute of me reassuring him I gave him a hug. We sat there on the bathroom floor in tangled in a hug for about five minutes before breaking apart.

"Let's clean you up shall we?" I asked with a warm smile.

"Yes, thank you Lia" he said with a smile

"oh it the least I could do" I said while dabbing his arm with an alcohol wipe.

"No it really means a lot coming from you" he said nervously. I blushed but began to wrap his arm.

"All done" I said with a smile. We exited the bathroom and laid back on the bed Tommy was asleep in about a minute and soon I felt myself drift off too.
