Lachlan POV

I wake up and look at the time. It is 10:30 am. The first thing I think about is having to go on that plane. I don't even want to go to Canada, but if I don't, everyone will come down to Australia. I stand up and stretch, looking down at my suitcase. At least I packed yesterday.

I walk over to my bathroom, dreading having to take one. I strip down and turn on the water. I jump in, and the hot water pierces my super pale skin. I suddenly think about Vikk. Why did he have to go? Why couldn't he see how much I loved him? Why did he have to leave because of Preston? Why did Preston even have to exist?

I look over at the razor that was in my shower. It was so tempting, but I tried to look away. It didn't work.  I grab it and just stare at it. They won't notice, will they?

I put the blade up to my lower thigh. Do I want to do this?  I deepen the grip on it and push the razor in, starting to see little droplets of blood. I start to feel so much better. All the pain I have felt for these couple of months fade in an instant. Even though it was one thin cut, it made me feel so much relief.

I finish my shower, the hot water sometimes hitting the cut straight on, causing it to open more, but I didn't care. I walk into my room and put on some clothes. Afterwards, I get a text from Preston, again I may add, making sure I was coming. I replied back with an I will, don't worry about me! -3- and started to grab my things and put them in the trunk of my car.

I get back into the house and look at my clock. It's only 11:23. I open up YouTube, and decide to watch one of my old videos when I was happy. Right as I open it up, I start to tear up. Why couldn't things go back to normal? Why did I have to meet Vikk anyways?

I turn off the video and lay down in my bed. I don't fall asleep, but look up at my ceiling. My tears dry up some and I close my eyes. Maybe, just maybe, I will find the confidence to meet Vikk again. Doesn't have to be today, tomorrow,  in a week, or even in months, but someday.

So, I'm back from camping! Was fun, but I'm glad to be back so I can update. Sorry this is short. I might update tomorrow as well though.

See you crafters, in another chapter! < 3
