Have faith

-Dani's PoV-
I woke up to the sun shining, I feel like shit though. I don't know why, I just do. I decided to get up, have a shower, i cut myself again, not to bad though, I cleaned them up. Then I got dressed in a long sleeve top and black skinny jeans,which suck my fat stomach in. I went to my new favourite room in the house, the music room and I opened the door and instantly felt happier and calmer. I started playing some songs on the piano and started to sing..

-Demi's PoV-
I got woken up by my speakers around the house, I realised the noise was Dani, it was beautiful, remarkable. She was singing amazingly and with so much ease, hitting every note correctly. I couldn't help but smile and listen, the chorus hit me as I listened to the lyrics;
"These battle scars don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle scars don't look like they're fading
Don't look like they're ever going away
They ain't never gonna change
These battle..."
I zoned out and started thinking, I didn't quiet know who it was by, but I'd heard the song before and she sung it so delicately, so much emotion.
'What if she self-harmed?'
'What if she hated herself so much, but you haven't realised?"
"Battle scars... Scars!"
I got broken out of my thoughts as I heard someone walk past my room, it was Dani, I'm guessing as the guest room door soon closed afterwards. I came out my room and knocked on the other door.
"Yeah?" Dani said.
"Hey," I said as I opened the door and walked in "I heard you singing, it was beautiful."
"What? Me, singing, oh that was nothing, I'm not that good anyway, that's what the kids at sch... I mean nothing, thanks." She lowered her head.
"You can talk to me you know, I want to know everything, I'm not gunna judge you or anything, how about we take babysteps, tell me a little more about your family, your sister sounded wonderful, so what about your parents?" I asked
"Oh, them.. Well I don't know what happened with my real mum, but I grew up with Mandy, my step-mum and Billy, my dad. They were amazing parents, then my sister died and everything started going tits up," She said with her head down, playing with her fingers " they started to drink a lot of alcohol and they began to hurt me in different ways and I had enough of it, they said that if I ran away they'd find me and kill me, but I thought that if I killed myself that it wouldn't matter, then you came. I just wanted to get away from it all, the pain, the sufferering, the beatings, the abuse, the games, the rape day after day." She then looked at me and darted of. She was raped! and beaten! I loved her so much. It was like she was my own flesh and blood. I felt so bad and upset for her, I thought I'd leave her for a minute.

'Shit,shit,shit'
I told her I was raped, it was in the heat of the moment, now my parents really are gunna kill me! I know I was raped but that was worse than anything else, I didn't want to let anyone know about it, it made me sound like a slut, in my eyes.
'She's probably saying to herself how much of a slag you are!'
"No, shut up," I told my demons, they were raging in my head telling me loads of different, horrible things. I had enough,
*Triggering*
I went to the bathroom, grabbed my blade, one cut, two cut, five cut, eleven cut, and more and more and more! My vision began to go fuzzy and weird I became aware of everything and as I looked down I was in a pool of my own blood. After I saw that it went black.

I heard the bathroom door shut, which worried me slightly, but I didn't want to be pushy and loose someone I felt close to. After about 5 minutes I heard a thud, that was the last straw, I ran upstairs scared calling Dani's name, she never answered. I got to the bathroom door and tried to listen inside for her, anything... Nothing. I started to bang on the door. She never answered. I ran to my room got the spare key and unlocked the bathroom door as fast as I could, and what I saw was devastating. A poor girl, broken and bruised in a pool of her own blood.
She just needed to have a little faith in herself ! Have faith !
