Scars

Chapter 4

*Jade's POV*
I sit there. Holding Kathy's hands as she cries..I don't know what's wrong. She just started crying out of nowhere. I just met her and I feel so bad that I can't help her. Everyone else is ignoring her. She must cry often in class.

"Kathy...? What's wrong?" I ask trying not to tear up myself

"Nothing." She says rubbing her wrists.

I take her right wrist and I move her bracelets. I notice the cuts on her wrists. She takes her hands away quickly, but not quick enough. I saw them.

" Kathy...you cut...." I say sadly

"I'm sorry you have to see this on your first day here Jade, but I just can't hide it anymore. I love you. And I had to show you before you got the wrong idea of me. I'm not a happy camper. I'm a depressed cutter."

"I love you too Kathy. I want to be with you. Will you go out with me? I want you to be safe."

"I would love to go out with you Jade. I just hope I don't bring you down."

"Honey you won't bring me down. I am tough. I can help you."

"Thank you. Is there a chance you could ask your parents if I could stay the night? I have no one at home."

"Yeah. And I have only my sister at home. And I'll send her to her friends house so we are alone." I winked and I held her hand.

I realised that I wasn't paying attention at all to Ms. I'm Rose. I was so caught up in Kathy. She is so hot.
