Chapter 3: " And All The Sorrow She Takes Out On Herself
*****************************************************************************************
My alarm clock went off at 6:30, only an hour or two after I started cutting.
I can stay at home.
I looked around the room, as I saw all of the blood that I left. It was on my blankets, and I also had dried blood on my arm. I wondered how much blood I lost.
It had to be plenty because I was light- headed.
My life was ruined. It was ruined, because of my own stupid actions.

I ran into the hallway bathroom, as I scrubbed the dried blood off of my arm. It took forever because it was on my other arm, to.
Then, my mom called out, "Jade?"
"Yeah mom?" I turned off the sink.
"Aren't you supposed to be at school today?" I ran out of the bathroom back into my room. I looked inside of my closet to find a baggy sweater to hide my new cuts.
Just as I slipped it on, my mom walked in, "Did you hear me?"
"Oh, no. What did you say?"
"Don't you have school today?"
"Yeah mom, I'm just not feeling well."
"Oh! Hunny! Are you on your period again? Does the cramps get to you?" She walked over to my soiled sheets on my bed.
Wow, that was unexpected,"Y-yeah..." I lied.
"Okay hun, I'll let you stay at home."
"Thanks, mom."
She nodded, and walked out, as I sighed.
That was close.

I stared out of my bedroom window, as I heard my phone vibrate. It was Ethan sending me a text, Jade, look, I wanna talk to you. Meet me in the park tonight at 9. I love you.
Why in the name of God does Ethan want to talk to me for? He cheated on me! Now he says, "I love you."
Bull crap.
