"I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY IM GONNA KEEP DOING IT" vi shouts.

"But your hurting yourself! It's isn't good.." Powder says quietly.

Vi takes a deep breath "I understand for some weird reason you care about me, but this isn't your problem to worry about"

"Your my sister though.."

"vander wouldn't like this if he found out" mylo crosses his arms.

"Well vander isn't gonna find out!" Vi glares at him whilst keeping her bandaged wrists with fresh cuts bleeding through.

"Well he's gonna find out at some point vi" claggor says.

"We'll just say I got into a fight with some weirdos off the street then"

"He won't believe that" Everyone jumps at vanders voice and looks away, as vi just stands there with her back facing away from him.

"Everyone out."

The group except for vi walks out exchanging looks to each other before finally shutting the door behind them.

"Sit down"

"No"

"SIT DOWN"

Vi sighs and sits down looking at her bandages.

"Did I hear that right? Your hurting yourself?"

"I-"

"Why would you do that?"

"It's comforting.."

"How is hurting yourself comforting???!!"

"I- I don't know it just is..."

Vander deeply sighs "atlease let me look at it"

Vi look up at him for a few seconds before looking down at her bandages and unwrapping them.

Slowly showing cuts all up her lower arm and wrists, blood everywhere.

Vander walks away to grab some medical items. He then sits in a chair In front of her and gently cleans her arms with antibiotic ointment to clean the wounds which makes vi flinch. "Ow" vi mumbles.

"Promise me you'll stop hurting yourself vi, this only causes more problems to solve"

"I can't promise anything.. it's hard for me to stop doing it.."

Vander sighs "we'll if you do feel like you want to atlease come to me about it, I'm here for you"

"Okay.. thankyou..." vi smiles a little at vander. Then he wraps fresh bandages around vi's wrists before he stands up and puts away the medical items.

He looks at vi and roles his eyes and laughs softly. "C'mere give this champ a hug" vi runs into vanders warmth and hugs him tightly.

~ fast forward to recent ~

Vi sits on the cold floor in the bathroom breathing in and out looking at her recent injuries on her wrists. Fresh blood and fresh scars.

She's not proud of it but she can't stop. All she can hear is vanders voice in her head all disappointed in her for finding out how weak she is.

Vi unwraps her bandages and stares at her scars. Her wounds bleeding through. Holding her BEST FRIEND In her hand.(blade) She slits her wrists whilst tears are in her eyes.

She feels a presence in front of her crouching down. "Baby? Your doing it again.." she takes the blade out of her hand. Caitlyn looks up at vi's face. "I told you to come to me if you felt like hurting yourself remember?"

"I- I know I'm sorry.."

"It's okay.. here leme clean you up" she gets the medical items. She gently cleans her arms with antibiotic ointment to clean the wounds which makes vi flinch. "Ow" vi mumbles.

"Sorry I'm trying to be gentle" caitlyn says in her soft, posh accent.

"It's okay.."

Caitlyn sighs "I know it's hard to stop but if you do feel like you want to do it then atlease come to me about it, I'm here for you"

It sounds so much like him. Vi nods softly whilst keeping her head down. Caitlyn gets fresh bandages and wraps them around both arms softly. "There! Good as new!" Caitlyn exclaims putting her hand on vi's cheek and wiping away her tears.

"Thankyou.." vi smiles a little and without any hesitation caitlyn hugs vi tightly. Vi wraps her arms around caitlyn and hides her face in her shoulder. "Love you cupcake.."

"Love you too baby"
