Dear Friend,

Everything was amazing.  And Calum - he is an amazing kisser.

But, once he left - I started to wonder.

I wonder, what would my mother be like?  You know, if she was alive...

He had to help his mom.  That's what triggered the curiosity.

I wanna know what she would be like.

So, I did another silly thing.

I took another one of my famed, burning showers.  But this time, I just sat in the burning water.  I sat there, and I let my skin feel as though it were sizzling until the hot water ran out.

The burn marks are worse than they've ever been.  It feels like a severe sunburn.

It was hard to breath - really hard.  I thought I was having an asthma attack, even though I don't even have asthma.

I finally made it to my room and passed out.

When I woke, I wanted to distract myself, Friend.

So, I texted Ash and told him that Cal and I kissed.

The distraction didn't work.

I'm sorry, Friend.  I'm so fucking stupid.  I hate myself for it.

I started to punch, scratch, and pinch at my legs, stomach, and arms.  Now, not only do I have the marks from the shower - but from me as well.  It's so painful.  And I'm fucking covered.  There is no possible way to hide them all.

I'm scared, Friend.

I don't know if I can see Calum again, now.

It's not that I don't want to - I just don't him to see what I've done to myself.  He might not want me anymore.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry, Friend.  I don't mean to fucking cry and get your pages wet.

Oh, God.

I don't want him to hate me!

I don't want him to think I'm a freak!

I'm so so so so scared, Friend.

Please help me.
