Until You

Chapter Two

Chapter Two

I was sitting in my Psychology class. I always finish my work quickly. Julie and I did. I was sitting in class and I told Julie about what happened. I was crying. She comforted me. I told her about how hard it was for me, leaving that one secret out on purpose.
"It's going to be okay Katelyn. Don't worry about it. You haven't relapsed have you?"
"The last time I relapsed was when I had that big fight with Isaiah. Other than that I haven't."
I was lying straight through my teeth. In reality I had harmed myself earlier that week. I wanted to tell her that I had relapsed and that I wasn't better. I wanted to tell her my secret but I just couldn't get myself to do it.
We continued doing our homework until we had to leave for our next class.

I didn't want to eat so I didn't. My friends seemed worried but I said I was fine and that I didn't have time. I told the others about what had happened when I was pulled out of class. Lunch was over and we walked to our next class. I sat down and started doing work. I kept quiet because I didn't feel like talking. Nobody noticed. They never do.

I went on with the rest of my day and I ended up walking home. I guess my mom was still at work. I didn't have any money so I couldn't stop to get something to eat. I guess I wasn't eating today. I kept walking when someone bumped into me. I almost fell but they caught me before I did.
"Hey watch where you're going!"I yelled at them mad at them for not looking where they were going.
"I am so sorry. Are you okay?"
I looked at him. He was really cute. He was holding me by my waist gently while looking down at me staring into my eyes. I suddenly became extremely nervous.
"I-I'm okay" I stuttered. Why do I feel like this? He pulled me up and helped me regain my balance.
"Oh that's a relief. I wouldn't want to feel guilty for hurting such a pretty girl." He smiled as he responded. He tucked my hair behind my ear and ran his fingers through my hair smiling.
"Haha yeah. So do you have a name or am I supposed to remember you as the guy that almost made me fall?" I said immediately, cringing at my sad attempt at being flirty. I'm so nervous and I don't even know him.
"Oh sorry I didn't introduce myself. My name is Daniel Thomas." He bent down to grab his phone.
"Well Daniel Thomas my name is Katelyn Park." He turned the phone over and I saw the screen was cracked. I felt awful for bumping into him, yelling at him, then breaking his phone screen. " You cracked your phone screen! I'm so sorry"
"Uh yeah. It's okay."
"No it's not. I'll buy you a new one."
"No you don't have to do that. I'll just get it fixed."
"It's fine, I don't mind. It's the least I could do to break it."
"Well Katelyn, it's fine. You can make it up to me by giving me your number."
"Yeah sure." I said as I blushed profusely. I could feel my cheeks burning.
I gave him my number and he gave me his. When he grabbed his phone back from me his hand lightly grazed mine feeling how big his hands were compared to mine.
"Okay well I'll see you around Daniel." I said as I stuttered.
"Bye Katelyn"
I continued walking and I was blushing. He was cute and. Wait. He said I was pretty. He was probably being nice. I started walking faster as I didn't want to get home too late into the day. I hate walking home. It always takes too long and I always get home late.
I got home and I unlocked the door. Nobody was home. I guess mom and dad weren't home yet and my sister went out. I went up to my room and started doing my homework. I knew mom was going to ask if I ate and she would know if I bought something or not by checking my money. I went to the kitchen and ran some dishes through some water and into the rack. She wouldn't notice.
I walked back into my room and checked the time. I took a shower. When I got out they were home. I didn't bother going to talk to them. I continued doing my homework. Mom came into my room to check up on me.
"Hi sweetie. How was school? Did you eat!"
"Hi mom. School was school. Yes I did eat."
"Okay just making sure. Make sure to go to sleep early, you have another long day ahead of you tomorrow."
"Okay mom, goodnight I love you."
"Goodnight sweetie I love you too."
She walked out of my room and I continued doing my homework until I finished it. I put it away and decided to text Daniel. I looked at the time and it was 12:48 am.

Me:
Hi Daniel it's Katelyn

Daniel:
Hey Katelyn

Me:
How are you?

Daniel:
I'm fine. You?

Me:
I'm good. What are you up to?

Daniel:
Nothing just trying to sleep

Me:
Oh I'm sorry for waking you up. I'll let you sleep.

Daniel:
No, it's fine. I want to talk to you :)

Me:
No going to sleep. We can talk in the morning

Daniel:
Okay fine but remember I tried to talk to you when you try to complain
that I didn't want to talk to you

Me:
Goodnight

Daniel:
Goodnight ♡

I turned off my phone and went into my bathroom. I took out my blade and stared at it. I didn't feel good. I dragged the blade across my skin. It stung really badly but felt so good. I didn't do that many or go too deep. I waited until the blood stopped flowing and bandaged the cuts so they wouldn't bleed into my pajamas. I went back to bed. I looked at my phone and it read 2:37 am. It was really late, I knew that I would hate myself in the morning for being up so late. I started drifting to sleep.
