Zoey could hear the thunder roar from the corner between her bed and dresser. The room was gloomy and would light up when lighting flashed. She held her knees to her forehead and sobbed. Aside from the thunder, Zoey could hear her parents yelling at each other. Outside, the dogs barked and as Zoey heard her door open , she looked up, scared.
" It's okay. It's just me." came her older brother's soft voice.
"Austin, I'm scared!"Zoey sobbed.
Austin knelt down in front of her,and held her tightly."It's going to be alright."
As the lightning flashed,Zoey could see her brother's blonde hair and blue eyes.Zoey had black hair with purple tips.She had dyed her hairover the summer and before she had dyed it,it was a strawberry-blonde like color.
Zoey looked down at her night gown which was stained from previous breakfasts.She fished in her pocket for her razor,but found it was not there.
"I'm gonna go back to bed,Zoey.Good night."Austin said,getting up,"I'll see you in the morning."
"Good night,Austin." Zoey said,whipping away a tear.
As Austin left her room and closed the door behind him,Zoey got up and turned on her light. She looked at her clock and saw that it was almost two in the morning.She walked over to her dresser to see if her razor was in her secret draw.It was. She grabbed it and then sat on her bed.She took a sharpie out hof her pillow case and wrote "Pain" on the razor.She then went over to her desk to see if her friends were online.As she was looking, she saw that a friend she hadn't talk to in forever was on.It was Alisha.
"Hey" Zoey typed in a sent.
"Hey wats up"Alisha answered back.
"nm.Parents are fighting again."
"Again! wow don't they fight like 24/7?"
"yea its crazy"
"hey gtg school tomorrow ttyl love ya Zoey"
" bye"
Zoey got up and walked over to her bed. She took her razor out of her pocket and looked at it.She placed the razor against her wrist and sliced.The bite was sharp and Zoey watched as the blood ran down her arm.She then covered it up with a bandage stained in blood from previous cuts.
"I'm sorry,Austin" Zoey whispered to herself.She hid the razor back into her secret draw.She undid her blanket and laid down.As she was covering herself up,she heard the thunder roar extremely loud.She laid her head on her pillow and tried to sleep.
