Tears slipped down my face. I was tucked into a tight ball on my bed. I had a vice like grip on my hair and I spat out things like 'waste of oxygen', 'worthless', 'unwanted' and 'fuck up'. I had my curtains shut so Lizzy couldn't see in and my phone on silent and in my bag, across my room.

I finally snapped and grabbed the nearest knife. I held it above my left arm with nothing but rage.

Wait. Was she really gonna hate me for being grounded on out eight month? I got told I wasn't allowed out. Then why am I beating myself up over it? I dropped the knife and curled back into my ball.

I started mumbling nonsense, it seemed like that anyway. I knew exactly what I meant though. I started mumbling out "All I want to do is make her proud. To make her smile. But all I do is make her sad."

I cried and cried and cried. My throat hurt, my eyes felt dry and my muscles hurt. The tears still wouldn't stop. They only stopped when my eyelids fell shut.
