Dru's Secret

Annnd It's Out

'Dru,are you ready to do this,what we discussed yesterday after class? Robin asked sensitivly 'I uhm I think so' Dru,replied not fully knowing what else she was meant to say,she knew this day would eventually arrive.

With Robin leading the way Dru  slowly followed,until they arrived at Family Video.

Steve was the first of the pair to see Robin and Dru enter the small establishment.

Walking over to his best friend he initiated their famous 'what up' handshake,at this point it became clear that Dru was becoming extremely nervous and was now messing with the long sleeves of the Hellfire T shirt she was wearing hoping this was all just a very bad dream but it soon became crystal clear that it wasn't.

Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted by Steve and Eddie speaking to her in unison.Dru what's is it,what's wrong,Dude your scaring us now what's happend?

Sensing her friends uneasiness Robin quickly steps in to help.

'Steve,Eddie...Dru here has something she knows she needs to tell you both,but she's a bit worried,scared even about how exactly to say it,you see this 'thing' she needs to tell you both has gone unnoticed and undetected for at least 2 years.

She turns to Dru and smiles slightly,'Go on whack-a-doodle I promise it'll be fine.

Dru took a deep breath and focused her gaze on the tub of paperclips on the counter 'Here goes,I've had this shameful secret for the past 2 years it kinda stems from the fact that neither my parents or my sister wanted me around not even from the day i was born. So I decided that if I HURT myself it would hurt less when THEY did it.

Dru stopped and began to cry softly.

'Dru take it slowly,Eddie and I are here for you ok but we cant help you if you dont tell us what's really wrong' Dru nodded at her best friend and continued.

I suppose that what I'm trying to say is that for the past 2 years or so I've been deliberately cutting myself,I guess you could say it was my defence mechanism but then again if you were to read my diary you'd understand it's so much more than that.

I keep my friends sorry I mean my razor blades in the drawer in the base of my bed.

As soon as Dru had finished explaining her secret shame to her friends, Steve, Eddie and Robin pulled her into a giant group hug.

On the release of the hug Robin turned to Dru smiling 'See whack-a-doodle I told you they'd understand...'Yes, Robin Yes you did...Dru replied smiling.

Returning home Dru went straight to her diaries hiding place and grabbed her diary smiling.
