Lost

Eridan's pov-

For the fifth time this week I made a detour to the bathroom at school. No one knows that the sinks are used for something other than washing hands. I take out the razor in my back pack. I start to make five little cuts. If I did anymore at school I would have to clean up a bigger mess. I wince but continue to clean the cuts. I pull down my long sleeves and walk to my next class.

I sit down in front of my mortal enemy just before the bell rang. I felt someone flick the back of my head. I don't turn around because I know that they'll just take it as an opportunity to punch me in the face. I might be rich, but that would never stop my antagonist. I just stare forward and ignore the snickering behind me. Once the bell rang I sprinted for the door. I was stopped by someone holding me by the collar. I turned around and came face-to-face with my mortal enemy. I saw the punch before I knew to duck. For the eighth time this week, I got punched by Feferi.

Sollux's pov-

I made an excuse and got up to use the bathroom. Razor in hand, I made a b-line for the closest bathroom. I open the door and find myself looking at an all to familiar seen. I saw a kid -probably from my grade- leaning over the sink. In his right hand he was holding a razor. All along his arms there were small to big cuts. In his left hand in looked like he was hold ing a piece of paper, a picture maybe? I put my razor away and slowly made my way to the unaware person.

I grabbed for the hand with the razor, trying to get it away from him. He let it go without a fight. Moments later he fell to the floor. He just sat there, slumped over. I asked for his name, but all I got were blank stares. I was soon interrupted by a familiar classmate. Karkat had entered the bathroom. He ran first to the male with all the cuts. He called his name. His name is apparently Eridan. For the first time KK took notice of me. He slung one of Eridan's arms around his shoulders and apologized. He said he would clean it up after Eridan was. He dragged Eridan out of the bathroom, his cuts
no-longer bleeding. I never knew what it looked like to see someone like that. To be honest, it scared me. I made a vow to not cut anymore after that day.
