My Savior

Part 4

Destiny's P.O.V
The school day went by pretty fast actually. I hate going to school but I also hate being home. There is just no escape...

I get home and unlock the door to find my mom passed out on the couch with a whiskey bottle in her hand. I look at her and sigh. I grab a blanket and cover her up. I then go up to my room and shut my door. I grab my phone and lay on my bed. I decided to text Shawn.
Wait... Should I? I don't know. What if he doesn't text me back or what if Jessica gets mad, or what if-
Suck it up Destiny, I tell myself

~Text to Shawn~

Shawn😔😍❤️
Me: Hey Shawn☺️😁

I can't believe I actually had the guts to text him!! Now I just need to wait until he texts me back.

I go downstairs to find something to eat. My mom was in the kitchen. Oh great... I don't look at her, trying to avoid her as much as possible.
"What do you think you're doing?", my mom says.
I'm getting something to eat..., I say.
"Get over here now!", she yells
Uh oh...
I slowly walk over to her and I soon regret it.
She raises her hand & slaps my face.
I hold my cheek with tears in my eyes.
I mustn't cry.. I can't show her that I'm hurt...
"You're just a waste of space. You know that right Destiny?", she said.
I just stood there quietly.
"Answer me!!"
Yes I know I am..., I responded.
"Well I'm glad you know that you're worthless just like your father. Now get out my face! You disgust me."
I walk back to my room & as soon as I shut my door, I totally fell apart. I went to my dresser and opened my bottom drawer. I pull out my box of blades and take the sharpest one out. Whenever I'm feeling broken, I use my body as a canvas to take away the pain. One cut, two cut, three cut. I add more and more to my "canvas". My mom tells me I'm worthless everyday & when you hear something everyday for so long, you start to believe them. I believe that I'm worthless & I don't deserve to be in this world. I really am just a waste of space...

Shawn's P.O.V

I just got back from football practice & I decide to check my phone. I was scrolling through my notifications and I noticed that Destiny had texted me.

~Text from Destiny~

Destiny☺️
Destiny: Hey Shawn☺️😁
Me: Hey what's up?😊
Destiny: Umm... Nothin much.. Hey umm i don't think I can make it to the party tomorrow.
Me: Why not? Everything okay?
Destiny: Umm yeah.. Everything's fine.
Me: Destiny, I know we just started talking but I'm here for you if you need someone to talk to okay?
Destiny: Ok thanks.. Well I'll talk to you later.
Me: Ok bye☺️

I wonder why she can't go? I hope she meant it when she said everything was fine.
