It's Only 6 Years... (James Cassells Fanfiction)

Chapter 20- Drown Part 2

Danny's POV

The bus was now moving and we were all sitting in the front living area in complete silence. No one dared to speak a word. Ben was sitting next to me fumbling with his fingers, James was in his bunk doing I dont even know what, Sam was sitting at the table head lying over is arms, Cameron was hugging blake as he cried into Cameron's shoulder. And as for myself I was sitting with thoughts racing through out my mind. I was a wreck and I tried my best to keep myself from crying.

'Why would she do something like this. I didn't even know she was.. harming herself, but why? Was it because of her father? Was it because of James and my conversation... or was it because of what James said? Yes.'

I was talking to myself in my own head trying to keep my mind off of the gruesome picture I had witnessed only 20 minutes ago.

*25 minutes ago

"...She's just a kid anyways, I shouldn't be feeling or even thinking this way about her." James said with a sad tone. I could tell he was blaming himself, and I had pushed that onto him. He shakes his head and turns around taking onestep, but then backing up again. I look over to see Lexi with tears streaming down her cheeks. 'Fuck.'

"Lexi..." I whispered, but it didn't stop her from running off into the back. I looked over to James who looked torn in two. I was the first to leave the room with James following behind. I walked into the back lounge expecting to see Lexi in the arm of Blake or something, but she wasn't. Everyone gives me a strange look. 

"What?" Ben speaks out. 

I don't reply, I walk out of the room and towards the bathroom. I here quiet sniffles and instantly I know she's in there. "James... She's in here..." I try to open the door, but it's locked. 

James rushes over. "The door's locked... Maybe she just needs her space right now James." I look over to him, and his face tells me that I'm almost definitely wrong. "What?"

"Danny move, I can help her."

"Help her what? What are you talking about?"

"Danny, Lexi self harms." I couldn't believe what he had just said. 

"W-What?" 

"Just let me try to help her..." I moved away from the door, he instantly took my spot. He began knocking on the door and shaking the knob. 

"Lex.. It's me James. Please open the door..." James paused for a moment. Nothing came from the other side of the door. "If you don't open this door right now Alexis, I will break down the door."

Silence came from behind the door, and by now all of the others were crowding in the hallway too.

James started back away from the door, "James... What are you-" Sam didn't get to finish his sentence. James ran at the door, a loud crack echoed through the hall. The door was loose and open now. James was the first inside with me following after. 

The scene was gruesome. There was blood everywhere, drawers were hanging open, and in the corner of the room Lexi lay with cuts all over her thigh. James dropped to his knees next to her. 

~James POV~

Lexi lay unconscious in her own blood. She's breathing, but bleeding badly. "Danny hand me a rag, hurry." He stands there frozen in place, eyes wide and hand over his mouth. Sam pushes him out of the way raiding the drawers for one, then hands it to me. I lay it to Lexi's cuts. 

Why would she do this to herself?

*Fast forward 30 minutes

"I did this to her.." I whisper to myself. "It's all my fault." I can't take the guilt building up inside of me, It's to much to handle. 

A/N- Guys I'm so sorry if this is crap, I was so busy. I tried to put something together at least... So PLEASE
