Kit: I opened my eyes the next morning and had to use the bathroom. I could hear my sister in the kitchen making toast. I thought maybe she wasn't hungry either. I went into the bathroom and while I went I saw my bloody blade. I felt the urge I had grown to recognize. That urge meant I needed to cut. I left the bathroom to go to my sister and had a scared look on my face apparently cause she immediately asked what's wrong. I told her while going to the bathroom I found my bloody blade and was scared I would use it. She held me tight a few minutes and kept telling me it would be ok. She let go of me and rushed to the bathroom to get the blade. When she came out she asked what I wanted for breakfast. I told her a bowl of cereal and she told me to go get ready while she made it for me. 15 minutes later I come out of my room with jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Laura asked why do you have long sleeves on its hot out. I told her I don't want anyone to see my scars and she tells me the dr . might want to see them. I tell her that's fine but only her and the Dr are allowed. We silently head out holding each other.

We pull up to the Harmon house where I turn to Laura and jokingly say are you sure he's good if he works out of his house. She turns to me with a smile and says funny then turns back and knocks. A young woman comes to the door and says hello. I'm Mrs. Harmon. You must be Laura and Kit. She leads us to the waiting area and says her husband should be with us any minute. She says I need to pick our girls up from school but asks if they need a drink first. When they both say no thanks she heads out. A girl comes out of the office a few minutes later and sits waiting to be picked up. She leans over and introduces herself as Lily and I tell her my name is Kit and this is my older sister Laura. Lily tells me the Dr. will be with me in a few minutes. A few minutes later Dr. Harmon comes out and calls me in. We sit and talk about what Laura had told him. I tell him that Laura only knows of that time. I tried every drug I could think of  and alcohol to help with my pain and when that no longer worked I switched to cutting. Dr. Harmon asked to see my scars so I showed them to him. He tells me some are really deep and that worried him. He asked me if I ever contemplated suicide which I answer yes I have many times. He gives me meds to take to hopefully help. He has diagnosed me with severe depression and Suicidal tendencies.
*skip car ride home*
On the way home I explained everything to Laura. She is even more worried now to where she doesn't want me home alone because of  last time and my diagnosis. She had to go get my prescription so she called our neighbor Ms. Collins to stay with me. She understands because her daughter was on pills and in therapy. Laura tells Ms. Collins she will be right back she just has to pick up my prescription.
