Tw; cutting, Japanese

It was a good thing that the airport was only four minutes from the hotel. Lynx ran to her room throwing herself on the bed, not noticing that the door had closed itself. She sobbed violently into the bed that would have been Lauren's.

She threw her suitcase on the floor and ripped it open. She tore threw it throwing things about the room in a manic like fashion. She reached into the crafting supplies bag and grabbed the scissors inside.

She knew this was a bad idea, but she wasn't completely in control in the moment.

Lynx slide the blade on the inside of the scissors across her skin. She watched as the red pricked from the skin and continued the slide the blade from her elbow to her wrist in long lines.

She came forth with some sobriety and realized what she had just done. All she had been working for was gone. Lynx had been four months clean, now she had nothing.

She stood up drunkenly and  ran toward the stairs. She flung herself up the flights and smashed through onto the roof. She didn't look, just took off in a dead sprint to the edge,ready to jump. She got ready to launch and just as she was close someone grabbed her arm and snapped her back.

It was a girl. She grabbed Lynx from the edge and held the broken girl in her arms.

"Shōkidesu ka?!" A bystander shouted. Lynx started crying again. She couldn't help but latch on to the girl as the mysterious woman carried her away. Lynx didn't know where she was going,but she was happy to be leaving.

She took Lynx to a house, layed her down and put a blanket atop her. The girl walked away, but came back quickly. The girl grabbed Lynxs arm with a firm grip and started to clean her cuts. It burned immensely.

After she was done cleaning Lynxs arms she put a pillow under her head and snuggled up next to Lynx. Lynx could feel the girl's arms around her. It made her feel safe, it made her feel like she was okay. She hadn't felt this safe in a long time, ask she enjoyed it until she fell asleep
