TW: mention of self-harm and blood.

Your phone ringing woke you up, and it didn't take you long to remember everything that had happened last night; as you reached for it on your nightstand, you felt pure pain in your lower right limb, your leg hurt completely, as it had many times before. It wasn't just that a spot in your leg hurt, no, it was your whole leg, just pain, horrible pain. Your duvet cover was stained, which also made you just want to throw your head against the wall.

You read the screen and cursed out loud "fuck"; apart from the time being late in the day, you read Cate's name across the screen. Before picking up you cleared your throat a couple of times so she didn't notice that she woke you up at four in the afternoon. "Hello", you picked up. "Hi y/n, how are you?", she asked sounding nervous. "I'm good how are you?"; you just wanted her to ask you whatever it was she wanted to ask so you could finally leave this situation to rest. "I've been okay, thank you for asking". At this point both of you were silent, so you decided to speak again, realizing she probably wouldn't. "Look Cate, I don't mean to be rude but if there's nothing else you have to tell me I'd rather–". "No y/n wait, hold on, I'm sorry". Uhm sorry, for what exactly?  "Dash told me that you guys broke up last night". "We did", was all you said, what did she want? "Well, he didn't exactly tell me why". Again, same as last night, anger filled you up. You pushed the phone away from you and took a deep breath before speaking again; you didn't care anymore if she knew what happened, you were so exhausted. "To sum it up for you, he was unfaithful before I arrived and when I was there, the night of Finn's party, which is why I left suddenly".  You heard her take a deep breath and speak again, "Well, he for sure didn't tell me that part". Again, the silence was shared before she spoke again, with compassion and sweetness in her voice, "I'm so sorry y/n, I don't know what else to say except that I hope I see you again someday". "Thank you, Cate, I wish you well, bye". "Bye", was all she said and you hung up. Thank God this is over, you thought.

Now I've got to fix this other mess. You got up from bed, went to the bathroom to do your skincare, brush your teeth, get dressed, and decided to take your duvet and sheets to the laundry room, carefully, so no one thought you were a serial killer or something carrying those bloody sheets. Afterward, you came back to your room and decided to give your best friend a call to tell her everything that happened; tears, laughs and everything in between were shared. Then, even though you didn't want to do it, you decided to text your family in the group chat you were all a part of to let them know the news. You just told them that you had had a fight and that you both had decided to end things; you decided to leave the cheating part out to save you the humiliation you already felt.

As you were waiting for your laundry to be ready, you realized how pointless your existence felt at that point. You felt so stupid just sitting there, with no plans at all, no motivation to do anything, staring at the wall sitting on your bed. What the fuck do I do now?

You decided to text your friend Sebastian; the one who works at the ateliér, knowing he was in the city.
