They Don't Care

Karina ~
I woke up by Nick shaking me by the shoulder.
"Come on Karina. We're going to be late."
I sat up and rubbed my eyes. Nick put his hand on my back to support me so I don't fall.
I stood up, saying, "Thanks."
He nodded, saying, "Go get ready."
I went in the bathroom and washed my face and then got out.
I looked out the window and saw that it was windy so I went to my closet to pick out my clothes. I got joggings and my Uggs. I didn't have anything for a windy day to wear for a shirt so I sighed out of frustration.
Nick came and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have noting to wear for a shirt."
"You could wear one of my sweatshirts?"
I nodded, telling him, "Sure. Thanks."
"No problem."
We walked to his room and he opened his closet and spread him arms out, saying, "Choose."
I smiled and walked to his closet. I picked out a grey sweatshirt.
I got my other clothes and went in the other room to change.
When I was done, I put my hair in a high pony tail and Nick and I went in the car.
We got to school and everyone was looking at us. Then it finally hit me. I, the nobody of the school, is hanging with Nick, the everything of the school.
We walked in and I turned to Nick, saying, "Wait for me here."
"Why?"
"I gotta use the bathroom. Just wait here."
"Ok."
Once I got to the bathroom, I did my business, washed my hands, and got out.
I walked to where I told Nick to wait, which was were the lockers were and when I saw what I saw...
Nick and his ex girlfriend, Jessica, were kissing against the lockers.
I just felt my heart break a bit there.
I started to walk away. Why do I feel what I'm feeling? I don't get it. Why would he lie to me?
Nick~
When I was waiting for Karina, Jessica, came up to me, pushing me against the lockers, putting her hand on my chest.
"Hey babe. Why'd you leave? You know you still want this." She said as she got her free hand and put it on her chest, acting like a complete slut.
"Jessica, leave me alone."
"Why babe-"
"Don't fucking call me babe!" I spat at her.
"Shut the fuck up and kiss me."
"Hell no Jes-"
She smashed her lips onto mine before I could finish my sentence.
I tried to push her away but her grip was tight around my body.
I finally got the energy and pushed her off, saying, "Get lost bitch!"
She smirked and walked away.
Then she stopped and turned to face me, saying, "I just wanted to do that. Because I saw her coming."
"Her?"
"Karina. Have a nice day."
She walked away as I stood there in shock.
Then I went through the halls and tried to find Karina.
Then I spotted her next to a classroom that wasn't open yet.
I ran up to her and when I reached her, she gave me the dirtiest look she's ever have given me.
"Look Karina. I can explain-"
She cut me off, saying, "Save it." She looked away, trying to blink the tears.
The bell rang, bug I ignored it.
"Karina Please. Jessica is a bitch. She set me up. She's the one that kissed me."
"Then why didn't you push her off?!"
"Because her grip- I'm sorry."
"Go to class Nick."
"Karina-"
"Go to class." She repeated herself, finally looking up at me.
I had no choice, but to walk to my class.
I was probably going to be late, but I really didn't care.
-Lunch-
Karina~
I didn't want to eat today. I didn't feel like it. Lot because of the Nick situation, but I just didn't feel like it.
I went to the soccer field and sat on the grass, watching the popular guys plays soccer or just hanging out.
Then someone came and sat next to me. The last person I wanted to see. Jessica. Fuck no.
"Well hello Karina."
I looked at her and she continued to talk in her crappy voice, saying, "I just wanted to tell you the Nick is off limits. We are back together."
"Well that's good for you."
"Ya. It really is. When we were saying hi in the halls, he just grabbed me and kissed me."
"Well he didn't tell me that."
"Well no I told you. Have a nice day." She got up but then bent down and whispered in my ear, saying, "If I were you, I wouldn't mess with me."
And then she walked away.
Ok so that was awkward.
Then the second to the last person I wanted to see sat next to me. Nick.
"Karina-"
"Leave me alone."
"Look. I could explain. Jessica set me up."
"Oh really? That's not what she told me!"
"She's lying!"
"I trusted you. And to think I had feeling for you-"
"Wait? You did?"
"I used to. Not anymore."
"So you'd rather believe her than me?"
"Look! I'm too confused. I thought you cared!"
"I do-"
"Leave me alone. I don't know who to trust anymore."
He then got up and left.
The bell rang and I went to class.
-After school-
Nick~
I saw Karina walking home. I just went in the car, but I stopped at Starbucks to get a drink for Karina and I. I know her favorite drink is the Caramel Frap. so I got that for both of us.
I got home seeing that Karina was already home. I saw her threw her bedroom window brushing her hand.
I decided to just watch her a bit. Then she put her hair in a pony tail and grabbed something. I could tell what it was but then I saw blood dripping down her arm. She's cutting. She's cutting. She's cutting. Again. She told me she would stop this.
I looked at her face and she was crying. I got the drinks and quickly ran in the house, putting the drinks quickly on the table.
I ran up the room.
Karina~
I heard footsteps throughout the house. Oh no he's hear.
I ran to the bathroom in my room and cleans my arm and put a bandage on the cut.
I wiped away my tears and quickly sat on my bed and pretended I was on my phone.
The door burst open, revealing Nick breathing heavily.
"Karina!"
I jumped at his loud voice.
"What?"
"You... you did it again!"
"Did what?"
"Don't play fuckin' dumb with me!"
He walked to me and grabbed my arm with the bandage harshly and ripped the bandage off quickly, making me wince in pain.
He saw the cuts I did and put his thumb over them.
"Why?"
"How did you kno-"
"I saw you through the window. Why would you do such a thing?"
I couldn't speak and he could tell so he said, "Never mind. Just, can you stop doing this?"
"I can't promise anything."
"But Karina-"
"Nick, you don't understand! Cutting is something that I'm used to. It makes me forget the other pain I get. You wouldn't understand. Cutting is like a drug and I'm addicted. I'm too tired to do anything else, but cut. You'll never understand how I feel. I could smile on the outside, but never on the inside. You won't understand."
He stood there speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Exactly." I mumbled.
"Can you just leave me alone?" I asked.
He started to walk away and out of the room but came back after 3 minutes, carrying in a Starbucks drink.
"I got this for you." He said as he set the drink on the little table I had next to my bed.
"Enjoy." he said quietly and walked out.
But them something happened. I never knew he would do that. Never.
