Mesmerized by you

***ALVAH'S P.O.V***

"What are those from." I ask looking at her arm, I realized there was more than one.

"It's nothing, it doesn't matter." She says pulling her sleeve down to cover the cuts on her wrists.

"It's not nothing baby, I'm here for you tell me about it please" I say. I could feel my eyes start to fill with tears. I was so mad it made me cry, but yet I was so sad. I want her to open up to me, I want to be able to help her so she doesn't hurt anymore, I will always try my best to help her no matter what. I felt a ball starting to form in my throat, I sniffled a little. She looks up to she that I'm starting to cry.

"Don't cry you didn't do anything" She says while lightly wiping the tears off of my face. I couldn't help but continue to cry because of the pain I put her through. I caused this to happen. After we walked into the school and said our goodbyes I walked over to my locker, got my stuff and closed my locker. I look over to see that Jacob's locker was to the left of me, I look over at him and instantly my blood started to boil. He looks over at me and says "Hey I saw you this morning weren't you with that piece of shit, I think her name is Katherine?" As soon as he said that I instantly hit him in the mouth, I continue to hit him over and over again. Finally I stopped, I was so close to killing him, watching the life leave his body, that's what I wanted to do. I'm no murderer but I wanted to kill him right then and there.

"It's my fault, I did this to you, Jacob got mad because of what I did and took it out on you. You told me not to this morning and I listened but as soon as we walked away from each other I hit him and kept hitting him. I'm so sorry this is all because of me." I say while starting to cry a little harder. Katherine's lip starts to shake lightly. Great now I made her cry again. Everything is because of me. It's all my fault.

"It's not your fault, do you know how many times he's done this stuff to me because of other people making him mad. I've lost count of how many times." She says crying. Wait how long has this been going on. She's lost count? Why, why does he do this.

"Katherine how long has this been going on" I ask sternly but still crying.

"2 years..." She says while slowly looking down, I can feel her body shake. Seeing all of the blood on her makes me even more mad. He just left her there to rot. Without a care.

"2 years!? Have you told anybody" I say getting mad. I yelled a little and it made her flinch. I felt so bad. I'm not mad at her I'm mad at Jacob.

"no" She says. She seems scared. What did I do. Now she's scared of me. What if she feels like she can't trust me anymore. What do I do.

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to scare you." I say still crying.

"Are you mad at me." She asks with a shaky voice.

"No, no of course not, I'm mad at Jacob not you. You did nothing wrong. I'm sorry I yelled, that's just a long time for you to be in pain." I say with a sad voice.

"Ok, can you help me. please." She says still sobbing lightly, while looking down.
