Crystal Coma **In Editing**

Chapter 5

*8 am the nest day, CC's P.O.V.*

I walked into Crystal's room to get her up for breakfast and when I walked in, she was sprawled out on her bed like a starfish. Her blanket was kicked off. Gauze was wrapped around her arms. Some blood streaking it. No. How could I have not know. I walked into her bathroom and looked in the shower. The white tile floor had a red taint and there was a few drops of blood on the bathroom floor. Tears sprang to my eyes. I walked back out into Crystal's room and woke her up. She jumped and pulled the covers over her again, hiding her arms. And the guys had texted me to say they were coming over in 5 minutes about 3 minutes ago.

"Crystal? Why didn't you tell me?"

She didn't answer, she only told me to get out.

*Andy's P.O.V.*

I picked up the guys from their houses and drove them to CC's house. I walked in without knocking like normal and heard CC talking to Crystal up in her room.

"Crystal? Why didn't you tell me?" CC said, sounding sad and worried.

"Go away, I don't want to talk about it." Criss mumbled just barely audible.

"Well you need to. I can't believe you would keep this from me. The guys and I are always here to talk. Especially about something like this."

"HA! You?!?! Your the one who told me I'm grounded until I can get my ass out of your house! I can definitely see you're always here to talk! And you know, I might have told Jinxx if you hadn't kicked him out of your house! You know, you're always saying its our house and shit like that, but whenever you're pissed, its your house!" She shouted.

Tell him what? I had to know. The guys were all standing behind me, looking shocked. I was shocked too. Did he really tell her that? Did she do what I thought she did, cut?

*Jinxx's P.O.V.*

I really hope that Crystal didn't do what I think she did and cut. I asked her. Andy asked her and she said no. I was silently praying for 2 things. 1. CC didn't really tell that to Crystal and 2. She didn't actually cut and it was something else.

*Ashley's P.O.V.*

Did I just hear that right? Did CC really tell Criss that? Did Criss cut? The thought of it made me sway slightly. I felt sick. My beautiful Criss. Crystal. As pure and pretty as a real crystal, but in no way similar. My crystal was delicate, easy to break. A tear slid down my cheek.

*Jake's P.O.V.*

I stood there, shocked. Not wanting to believe what I just heard. I was praying it wasn't true. I didn't want it to be true. For Jinxx's sake. For Criss's sake. If it was true, Criss could kill herself any day with CC grounding her from Jinxx, music, phone, TV and anything else entertaining. It was dead silent in the house now. Andy was standing in the front of us, frozen. Same as me. Same as Ashley and Jinxx. I texted CC.

"Hey. We're downstairs. We kind of just heard everything."

*Crystal's P.O.V.*

I sat on my bed crying. CC was standing in front of me, ready to cry. CC's phone buzzed.

"Shit." He mumbled under his breath. "The guys are downstairs, they just heard everything." The guys. Meaning Andy, Jake, Ashley and Jinxx. Jinxx who I didn't want to know most of all. Jinxx who would be hurt. Jinxx who asked me if I cut. Andy who asked me if I cut. Ashley who had a crush on me. I cried harder.

CC said "Get dressed...And give my your blade and anything else you use to cut."

I shook my head no and said "No. I can't live without it. Just like I can't live without music. You took that away too. Music for the blade. No music, no blade."
