A/N: Trigger Warning. If you've dealt with self harm and trigger easily, this may not be the story for you.

There's to much on my mind I'm not sure what to do anymore. My anxiety is slowly turning into depression. All the stress, it just makes me want to turn back to the blade. I want to open my cream colored flesh to revel the beautiful scarlet blood.
I reach into my secret drawer and take out my old friend from it's cave. I admire it silver color, it's been awhile since I've seen it. Just before I cut a fresh line I think about how sad it would make Damon. I stopped, "until we meet again", I whisper.
It was Saturday so I didn't have to conquer school, I would just stay home. Hopefully nothing bad will happen today.
"Breakfast!", my mother yelled from downstairs.
I went downstairs, still in my pajamas I didn't feel like changing. Mom had went and got egg McMuffins for me and my brother.
"I have to leave for work, Donnie should be home in a couple hour's.". Trevor and I shared a look of hatred at the mention of our step father's name.
"Can I go to my friends house?".
"Yeah sure, don't stay out to late. ". My stomach did a flip when I realized soon I would be alone with Donnie. "Mom, if I call before hand can I leave with my friend's in an hour or so?". "Sure.".
Relief washed over me. Where would I go? Then it came to me. I pulled out my phone and started texting.

Me :Hey Damon can you pick me up?

Not one minute later my phone went off. "Ding!!" I jumped a little.

Damon :Yeah, where are we going? Is everything okay?

Me : Yes, everything is fine, and I don't care anywhere I just wanna spend time away from the house.

Damon : Okay see ya in a bit, love you.

Me : Love you to.

*In Damon's Car*

" So I thought we could go see a movie? ",
Damon said in his deep yet gentle voice.
" Sure.".
" Are you okay Ireanna?".
" Yah I'm fine I just forgot to take my pills.".
I've been on pills for depression and anxiety ever since my godmother  died when I was 13. God, I would do anything just to sit down and talk to her once more. She was the picture of purity and I loved her more than anything. I was pulled from thought when we arrived at the theatre. Damon opened my door and with an outstretched hand said,
" My lady.".
I took his hand and kissed him on the cheek,
"Thank you fine gentleman.".
I giggle as we headed in. Then there he was, all 6'2 of him. Still handsome and had that lovable smile on his face. My X-boyfriend Tony was in line in front of us with the girl he left me for, Jordan at his side. Tony was who I was with before Damon, I loved him so much and he loved me, or so I thought. We had been together for almost a year and he met a prettier girl and broke up with me for her. I'll never fully get over him. His words, his sweet kisses, and most of all his hugs. I just felt so safe when I was in his arms. I guess it was for the best that he broke my heart, I would have never met Damon. After I got the text ( yah a text) saying that it was over I went to the park to cry with some music. Damon came up to me and asked what was wrong. We talked and talked. We became best friends and eventually started going steady. Tony came up to us and with a happy expression said,
" Oh my gosh Ireanna, hi!".
I almost had a heart attack...
