Nicki's POV

I need to stop this. They're deeper than before. I've lost so much blood this time. I'm getting dizzy.

"Shit, Mum!"

I sat down on my bed waiting for my mother; I pressed a blanket to my arm, the blood already slowly seeping through the fabric.

"Mum!" I yelled again

Finally, I hear the thud of her feet on the hardwood floors, then the shuffling of her coming up the stairs. She knocked on my door and slowly opened it.

"Nicki what did you do?!"

She sounded stressed, more than before. I studied her face before answering, what used to be a beautiful, heart-shaped face, with rosy cheeks, and eyes that were constantly smiling, now looked dead. Her skin was pale, and bags under her eyes. Her eyes! People say eyes are the window to the soul. Her eyes, which used to be a beautiful bright electric blue, are now a dull grey color. What had happened to her?

"Forget it mum, what happened to you?" I demanded.

"Nothing honey I'm fine. You have to stop doing this to yourself. I'm really worried about you. Are you sure you don't want to tell me what's making you do this?"

"Yes. I don't want you to worry about me."

It's true; I didn't want her to have to worry about moving because of me. I'm being bullied at school and we aren't wasting the money we have on leaving Pennsylvania because of me. I could handle this on my own; or, at least keep trying to.

"But, that's the thing, I am worried. You can't keep doing this to yourself, Nicki. C'mon, we need to take you to the hospital. Keep putting pressure on it."

Nathan's POV

"I'll finish up here, you go on home, and your mum probably needs you by now." Paul said.

"Thank you, Paul. You're right."

Paul has been a lot of help lately. He's the only one that really understands me, even if he is in his early thirties. I don't know if I lead the same kind of life he did when he was sixteen, or if he just wants to help. But, either way he helps, a lot.

By now it's almost 11:00 and completely dark out.

"See you Tuesday" I say to Paul as I'm walking out.

I begin my thirty minute walk home, and put in some headphones to pass the time. My favorite song plays, "Thrift shop" by Macklemore. As I cross 23rd street, a car speeds by in the opposite direction. I recognized her immediately. I could easily pick her out of any crowd, with her beautiful bright ginger colored hair. She looks just like her mum, too. And her eyes! They've always been a beautiful electric blue. I can't believe I was so stupid to lose her in seventh grade. That was the year Kenzie Hampton came to Pittsburg Middle School. She was the perfect stereotype. She has long blond hair, deep blue eyes, she's as thin as a twig, and to top it all off, her dad is the owner of a huge fast food chain. The Second she saw me it's like something in her head clicked, and she had to have me. She immediately drug me into the popular crown, which is where she belongs, and started to bully Nicki. Eventually, everyone else started, too. They still do it because they want to be just like Kenzie. It's not like I can just leave the popular crowd, I've already gotten myself too deep into this situation. It's so frustrating!

I was so deep in thought that I barely heard a woman scream from the alley across the street.

I run over and press my back against the brick wall; I slowly peeked around the corner. There was a man leaning over a figure on the ground. That's weird; I could've sworn it was a woman screaming. Oh no. I quickly round the corner into the alley and see that the figure the man was leaning over, was my mom.
