Can You Fix Me?

Chapter 3

Karmin's POV

I can't believe him, he was okay with me leaving. I think that's what hurts the most. The saddest part is I accept him leaving. I don't need him, and he doesn't need me. He knew how much I needed him. I got up from my bed and went to the Wall Greens a few streets down and got a pencil sharpener. I removed the screw and got the small and dainty razor. I let it dance across my skin. Seeing the crimson gave me relief and I actually forgot about everything around me. I don't matter to anyone maybe it's time to move on from Kyle.

I wiped the blood off the razor and put it away. I went outside in 90* heat in sleeves and it's his fault. I went to Starbucks with my laptop to get some quiet time. writing poetry always seems to cheer my hopes. I spent about four hours there and realized they were closing. I was walking out and I bumped into a figure. I quickly started to run away but it ran after me.

"Are you alright?" He asked

"Sure. I'm sorry about running into you." I quietly said

"I'm not." He smiled

"Oh uhm ok." I blushed

"I'm Brandon."

"I'm Karmin." I giggled

"Well, let me walk you home."

"You don't have to walk me home. We could hang out there." I smiled

Suddenly silence. I became worried that maybe I came on to strong. But then he spoke, " Yes, I would like that."

"Alright cool, I'll lead the way." I exhaled the great mass of air I was holding.

Finally things are starting to look up for me. I'm not looking for a relationship, just a friend. I feel bad that I met Brandon in the same day, that I broke with Kyle. That's okay, It's not like I am dating him. Kyle is probably fine without me. We arrived to my home and I walked straight to my cabinet. Brandon looked in and saw I had brownies we could make.

"WE MUST COOK THOSE!" He exclaimed

As we were making them I spilled some batter on him. Totally on accident......pshhhh yeah. After they were made I decided we could watch a movie.

" I wanna watch Iron man 2." I yelled

" Thank God, you have good taste." He laughed

I put in the movie and we watched it, only problem was Brandon kept throwing effing popcorn at me. The movie ended and we just talked afterwards and got to know each other better. I learned we have a lot of stuff in common. I felt as if I always knew him.

"Hey where's your bathroom?" Brandon questioned

Brandon went in and he was in there for awhile. I went to check on him, I knocked no answer. I opened to door, to see him staring at my pencil sharpener.

"You cut too?" He broke out with tears
