⚠️TW! Self harm, slight eating disorder, bullying :(

{Tommy's POV}

I woke up from the sound of my phone alarm, signaling for me to get ready for school. I sighed and pulled the covers off, I got up and grabbed my blade from the hidden spot on my dresser. I take off my phone case and hide the blade inside it. I put my phone in my pocket and exit my room.

I reached the bottom step and grabbed my backpack from the kitchen table and put it on my shoulder. I see Wilbur and Techno in the kitchen, just before I walk to the door to leave, Wilbur stops me.

"Tommy, did you eat yet?" Wilbur asks.

Shit. I really didn't want to eat.

"No, but I'll eat breakfast at school" I reply, Wilbur nods to me and I walk out the door. Obviously, I wasn't going to eat. Fuck that. I began to walk to school, which is about 5 blocks away.

I arrived at school and I see Tubbo at his locker. "Hey Tommy! What's up?" Tubbo says. "Hey Tubs! Nothin' much, how's your day going?" I ask.

"Good! I got pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and it was the best! My mum is such a good cook." Tubbo replies excitingly. "That's nice" I reply, giving a warming smile.

"Well I have to go now, I'll see ya in 3rd hour big man!" Tubbo says.

I walk to my locker and I grab all my stuff I need for English, my 1st hour class.

I enter the classroom and quickly walk to my seat, trying to avoid the "popular" kids.

[Time skip]

1st hour is finally over, I rush out of the classroom and to my next class.

I enter the classroom, sat in my seat and took a note paper out of my binder, and I begin to do the bell work on the board.

The tardy bell rings, signaling for everyone to be in class. The teacher begins teaching while I write notes.

[Time skip]

The second bell rings, everyone got up all at once, so I took my opportunity to grab a small pencil sharpener out of the bin near the door.

Quickly exiting the classroom, I walk to the bathroom and I decided to skip the next hour. What's the worst that could happen? Nobody really goes in this bathroom anyway.

————————

I enter the last stall and lock it behind me. I sit on the toilet seat and open my phone case, I take out the blade and the pencil sharpener from my pocket.

I unscrew the pencil sharpener with the corner of my blade and put the old one back in my phone case. The tardy bell rings, signaling for all students to be in class.

⚠️TW

I take the sharp blade out and roll up my left sleeve. I press the blade to my wrist and slid it across, blood almost instantly rushes out and creates tiny pools of blood.

1 cut.
2 cuts.
3 cuts.

I can't.. stop.

4..
5...

26 cuts. My arm is covered with blood. I stand up and unlock the stall. I walk up to the sink and turn it on to rinse the blood off my arm.

Blood stains the sink.

Shit. I thought to myself. I quickly grab a paper towel and soak it in soap and water, scrubbing the sink the best as I can.

I managed to get the blood out of the sink. I was lost in my thoughts until I heard footsteps, It's probably just a student, I thought.

"Hey freak!" Xavier shouts. I look at him and say nothing. 2 of his other friends enter the bathroom with him.

"What's that on his arm?" John teases while laughing. Shit! I forgot my sleeve was still up. I quickly pull my sleeve back down and crossed my arms.

Xavier laughs "He's an emo freak!" he shouts "Let's teach him a lesson" Jacob says.

They walk closer to me as I back up closer to the wall.

Out of nowhere, my head and back hits the wall and each of my arms got pinned by two of the boys.

A sudden punch in the stomach knocks the wind out of me, making me lose my breath. And then a punch to the face. My vision starts to get blurry and distorted.

Another punch to my face and I pass out. The three boys left me lying on the cold bathroom floor with a bloody nose and bruises all over my body.
