I'm Sorry (Gabriel Conte)

Chapter 4

Lily's POV

"We should go to school. It's 10:15." Gabriel said.

I nodded my head and went to the bathroom to brush my hair.

"So uhm, my mom doesn't have a job yet. And she would probably kill me if I went home right now." He said leaning against the bathroom door.

"Oh you can borrow some of my brothers clothes." I said putting my brush down.

He nodded and then I grabbed some clothes from his room and walked back into my room and handed him the clothes.

"I'll change in the bathroom." He said and walked into the bathroom.

I did my makeup and while I was doing that, Gabriel walked in and saw me. He kept looking at me and when I looked over at him while I was doing my eye liner, I poked my eye.

Gabe chuckled and I giggled and then I finished my makeup.

"Hey does your brothr have any cologne?" He asked.

"No but I have some of my dad's that I took from his room." I said.

I stood up and grabbed his cologne off of one of my shelves.

"Lily what the hell?!" Gabe said.

"What?" I asked.

He pulled my arm down, pulled my sleeve up and saw my cuts.

Fuck. I think my sleeve went up when I was grabbing the cologne.

"Lily. Why the hell do you do this?" He asked.

"I-i uhm." I stuttered.

"Lily. Please don't do this to yourself. Life may be hard right now, but doing this, doesn't help. It will leave scars on you for life." He said.

I was trying to hold back my tears while he said all of these things.

"Where all have you done this?" He asked.

I folded my arms and looked down.

"Please show me Lily." He said.

I took my pajama pants off, I had shorts on underneath, and showed him my legs. I lifted my shirt up just a little bitand showed him the ones on my stomach and then I showed him the ones on both of my wrists

"Lily. These scars are going to be on your body for the rest of your life." He said.

I let a tear slip and he pulled me in for a hug. I cried into his shirt and he held me closer to him.

"I'm sorry." I said.
