The Dead Lines

I started out taking a shower, then I stepped out and looked for my blade, fishing it out of the pocket of my pants. I stepped back into the shower and held it to my arms and I sliced.

My pale skin accepted the red line gleefully, rubie droplets of blood merging with the warm water of the shower. I let it seep into the drain. I sighed and felt the monster in me slowly drain out of my arm.

I felt warm tears mixed with the water and a cut a few slits into my stomach and smiled. It felt so good to let this release. I giggled madly as I cut more and more until the liquid running off of me was more red than clear. I finished it off by carving "Violated" into my thigh.

I dropped the blade down the drain and let the water clean my cuts. I shampood and conditioned my hair, and turned the water off. I slipped into my pink silk nightgown and black tights. I walked out and slipped into bed. Marlana was gone and I calmed down, slipping on my sweater.

Right when I felt comfortable, however, David ran in, Marlana at his heels.

"Oh my god are you okay?! I know what happened! Marlana told me."

David wrapped his arms around me in a fatherly way and I sobbed into him.

After he let go I glared daggers at Marlana.

"HOW COULD YOU TELL ANYONE!" I cried, pain coursing through my arms and stomach.

She just whimpered and David patted my head.

"Don't touch me."

I slipped into bed and waited for everyone to leave or go to sleep.

I was so done.

I was tired

Tired of the pain.

Tired of feeling violated.

Tired of life.
