I was laying on my bed with my best friend Riley listening to mine and my brothers 'favourite songs' play list, he was away in the army and he's been gone for 6 months but I wish he never left.. I used to tell him absolutely everything, not only was he my brother.. he was one of my best friends too. I told him about me being picked on at school by a bunch of slaggy girls, also about the many scars around my wrists and most importantly, I would tell him my unconditional love for the UK's biggest boy band, and he would always understand where I was coming from. Now I have Riley to talk to, he helps me out with everything. The only thing he doesn't know about is my cuts, my deep scars.
'Imagine Dragons - Demons' started playing in the background when suddenly flash backs started rushing through my mind, all the good memories I had have with my brother just all came back to me.. I miss him so much. Tears started streaming from my eyes and Riley tried his hardest to wipe them away as he pulled me into his arms, he stayed silent.. he was used to this, he was the only person I felt like I could cry in front of.
I went to get up as Riley grabbed my wrist, I yelped in pain as he caught sight of my scars. I looked into his eyes and pulled away as I clenched my fists.
"Abbie, what is this?" he said calmly, as he pulled up my sleeves to view more scars.
I stood there in silence and shrugged my shoulders as I turned and looked at the ground, yes he was my best friend.. but what was I supposed to say to him in the past? It would have broke his heart. I have known him since I was about 3, it would kill him to see me in pain.
"Tell me what's going on, now" as he pushed my face to look at him.
"Riley, I didn't know what to do. First of all, I have a bunch of girls picking on me at school.. they call me fat, ugly, a slut just because I hang around with you? they say I'm a stupid cow because I love one direction more than anything, and they call me horrible names just because my mum passed away when I was 7 years old, are they sick in the head or something? I have had enough of it. What am I supposed to do? I have no other way to let out my anger. I cry myself to sleep every night. I just don't know what to do anymore. Just because I'm not perfect" I blurted out all them words, and tears started to fall from my eyes once again.
Riley slowly got up and held me tightly. "You're perfect to me Abbie" he whispered into my ear still cuddling me and not letting go.
