It's 5:00am and I get a call from my aunt saying that Chloe self harmed herself. I ask Paul to take me to her house right away.
I enter the house seeing everyone looking sad and numb. I ask her mom if I can go to her room and she slowly nods her head. I run upstairs to Chloe's room but it's not happy and warm like it always was. Her room feels so empty and cold. I feel my body go numb and I fall to my knees by her and sob. Paul comes up behind me placing his arm over my shoulder saying it's going to be alright. I pulled her in for a hug. I look at her and I see the hurt in her eyes. I look down and see the suicide note she wrote and it has about how she was always compared to me and that she wasn't good enough to live. This is all my fault.
"Paul, c-can y-you t-tak-take m-m-me h-home?" "Of course." We arrive at my house and without thanking Paul for the ride I run up to your room and go into my bathroom. I feel sick and numb. I begin throwing up and I look over to my sink drawers and find an old blade. I look down at my wrists and begin slashing my wrists. One cut, two cuts, one hundred cuts more.
A week later depression starts to hit Paul too because Chloe is one of his close friends too.
•Paul's POV•
I hope April is doing okay. I keep calling her but she doesn't answer. What if she just needs someone to be there? I go over to her house and see her in her restroom with blood dripping everywhere. I help her get up and I clean her cuts. I grab her arms and kiss every scar. "Promise me you will never do this again. Please." I tell her. I can't believe she did this. I just want to hold her so tight that all her broken pieces fall back into place together.
•Aprils POV•
I look at Paul with tears rolling down my face. I bite my lip trying to keep from sobbing. I nod "I promise" Paul lifts my chin up so my eyes meet with his. He places both of his hands on each side of my face and with blood on his lips he looks into my eyes and places a pationate kiss on my lips. I feel butterflies, happiness, spark, I- I feel. I don't feel as numb anymore. Am I falling for Paul? But I can't be. Maybe I'm just vulnerable. I don't know what to think right now. I feel bad thought that Chloe's decision was all my fault. She my cousin. We are so close and she just hid how she felt.
