Three Little Words

The First Time

As soon as Megan got home she ran up to her room and sat on her bed. It was those three little words that changed everything for Megan. "You're so fat" were the three most hurtful words that she had ever heard. But she pretended she didn't care. That it it didnt bother her. But it did. Deep down, Megan was more hurt than she had ever been before. Megan didn't think she was fat. Not at first, anyway. But the more she thougt about it the more she started to believe it.

Those words made her think. Megan looked at herself in the mirror. "Wow,"she thought "I am fat" Megan broke down and started to cry. And once she started she couldnt stop. All the things she had bottled up inside came pouring out. And then something crossed her mind. Something that she never imagined herself thinking about. Self harm."What if I were to self harm?" Before she could stop herself, she went downstairs to the kitchen and went into the box of tools that were in the kitchen drawer and grabbed a blade. Thankfully, her mum and brother, were at work so they couldn't question her actions. She ran back upstairs to her room and sat on her bed. Still crying, she started to drag the blade across her arms again and again. The blood came pouring out of her arms and dripped onto the floor. Coming to her senses, Megan realised what she had just done. But she didn't feel bad. Strangely, Megan felt good. But it didn't last. Soon enough, Megan started to feel worse than she did before. Then she heard a noise. It was her brother, Luke, who was back from work. Quickly, Megan hid the blade, grabbed a baby wipe and cleaned up the floor and her arm and then put a grey hoodie on and ran downstairs. " Luke?"
