James hadn't been gone long. He came back after 3 minutes. I had managed to find the bathroom easily because his house was exactly like mine. After the 3 minutes that James had been gone, he came back with a green box in his hands. A first-aid kit.
"Soph, can you list your sleeve up and run your arm under the warm water whilst I get everything ready?" James asked me softly, keeping his eyes on the contents in the box.
"Yeah, sure." I whispered as a reply. I went over to the sink and turned the hot water on. After a couple of minutes just running the water, I placed my arm under it, only to yank it back out with a yelp.
"Ouch!"
"Soph? Whats wrong?" James asked worriedly coming over to me to make sure I was okay.
"I left the water running for too long and I burnt myself." I whispered trying not to cry from the pain of the burn on my cuts.
"Okay Soph, just go sit down on the counter." James sighed turning the cold water on and filling the sink up with water. I went over to the counter, and I had to jump so I could sit on it. I ended up banging my knees and my hip trying to get up. I heard James laughing at me, so I turned and glared at him. I stopped though when I saw his expression. He was laughing, but his eyes were filled with so much pain, that I had to look away. He sighed when he saw me look away with shock on my face.
After a few minutes of silence, James finally came over and started to clean the blood from my wrists with a damp cloth.
"Soph, why do you do it?" James asked me, not even trying to hide the pain in his voice.
"Uhhh..." I didn't know what to reply, so I just trailed off.
"Please Soph, I want to help in any way I can." James pleaded.
"Well, I don't know where to start."
"Why don't you start from the first time you cut?" He asked.
"Okay, well it all started when my ex hit me for the first time..." I started to cry when I heard James gasp. He pressed down hard on my wrists, making me whimper.
"Crap! Sorry Soph! What a douche!" James said in frustration releasing his grip on my wrists. "Carry on if you want."
"So, he started to hit me because I had spent the day with Sam. He got jealous and just lashed out at me. He gave me a black eye and bruises everywhere on my body. I managed to convince my friends that I had walked into a door because I am naturally clumsy." I finished with a little laugh.
James was looking at me with wide eyes. "How can you laugh at something like that?"
"I was just trying to lighten the mood." I said as a pathetic excuse.
"Okay, sorry. So you've been doing it since then?" He asked me.
"Yeah, that happened last Christmas." I heard James gasp again.
"Really? Wow, i'm so sorry Soph!" He pulled me into a tight hug.
"It's okay, it seems like quite awhile ago now, and I have all my friends to help me, and now you." I pulled back, smiling at him. He gave me a weak smile back.
"Does anyone else know about what you just told me?" He asked hesitantly.
"Urmm, no?" I asked more than stated.
"So i'm the only one who knows?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, you should of told someone else. Instead of bottling it up for so long." James stated making me feel guilty for keeping things from my friends.
"Yeah, I know that now. In fact, I was gonna tell Mary after homeroom, but I chickened out. I'm surprised I could tell you so easily. Your just so easy to trust." I explained to him. He gave me a wide smile in return.
"Okay, well i'm always here if you need me, yeah? Always, remember that." He said giving me another warm hug.
It was only then that I realised he had finished cleaning my arm's and had bandaged them up. I pulled my sleeves down, so they would hide the bandages. There was blood on my shirt, I don't know what I will say if my mom saw it.
Answering my thoughts, James said "Hey, if your worried about your mom seeing that, I could ask my mom to wash it. She won't ask questions. Honestly."
"Uhhhh, yeah okay! Do you wanna take it to your mom tomorrow after the sleepover." I asked.
"Yeah!" he said smiling at me.
"What are you two doing up here? You have been up here for nearly an hour now!" Harry, James' dad, said from in the hall.
"Ahhhhh, sorry dad. Urmm Soph fell over, so I was just bandaging her knee for her. She scraped it and it was bleeding pretty bad." James came up with an excuse.
"Ha ha! Okay! Soph, you alright?" Harry asked with concern written all over his features as he popped his head in the door to look at us.
"Yeah, i'm all good thanks to James." I said laughing and smiling at James.
"That's good! Well James, you might as well go over to Soph's now because we have all the boxes inside." Harry said whilst walking away and down the stairs.
"Whoops!" me and James said in unison causing us to burst into a fit of laughter.
"Let me just pack everything away, and we can go!" James said with excitement.
"Ha ha! Okay." I waited for him to pack everything away, and then we went over to my house to set up for tonight.
