Somewhere In Neverland

Three.

Arabella's P.O.V.

I rush into the bathroom, relieved that no one is in there. I lock the door and let out a cry. I lock myself into a stall and sink down to the ground. Jesus, Arabella. Look at yourself. In the bathroom, sobbing like a baby. Grow a pair. I try and calm myself down, but to no avail. Why? Why must Taylor make my life a living hell when she knows what I have to live with at home? I think to myself, slowly calming down.

You know what to do to feel better, Arabella. A voice in my head says, quietly. I dig in my bag for my only friend: razorblade. I roll up the sleeve to my hoodie and slide the razor down my arm, breaking open a few scars and bleeding. I sigh, letting the smell of blood take me away. I sit there, for a minute or two, and regain myself. I look at my arm and frown, standing up and walking to the sink. I wash it off as best I can and head out the door to lunch.

Alex's P.O.V.

I sit at our lunch table, stuffing face with a burger while I watch Jack throw food at Rian. "Jack could you please have maturity for two fucking seconds?" Ryan says, obviously annoyed. "Nope!" He replies, smiling and stuffing a mouthful of fries in his mouth. I laugh and pat Jack on the head and he turns towards me, smiling with fries all in his mouth. "Alex encourages him, Rian. Just throw food back." Zack grins and suddenly throws a fry at my face. "Oh, hell no" I snicker, grinning. I grab a handful of fries and throw it back at him and he dodges it, mistakenly making it hit a girl walking by. Arabella. I say in my head and she freezes, turning towards us.

"Sorry-" I start to say and then my eyes shoot down to her left arm. Blood? I say, staring. She quickly walks away, not looking at me. "What's her problem?" Rian hisses. "Leave her alone," I snap back and he looks at me with questioning eyes. I follow Arabella with my eyes, seeing sit down at the opposite side of the lunch room at a table by herself. I see that Taylor girl and some guy walking up to her. Shit, doesn't look good. I think and Jack smacks me; I fling my head around, annoyed. "Awh, does wittle Alex have a crush already?" Jack says, grinning. Zack and Rian start cracking up. I roll my eyes and turn back towards where Arabella is.

Go, Alex. Don't let her be bullied. Don't be a dick. Says my conscience and I quickly get up from my seat. "Where ya headed to?" Jack says, looking at me. "I'll uh- be right back." I say hurriedly and start walking towards Arabella.
