She Will Be Loved

Bloody Mess

I ran to the bathroom as fast as I could. I went in the first stall, closed it, and locked it.

Tears starting forming and running down my face.

I was a bloody mess!

I sat down on the toilet, thinking of why my life was like this. Why it was so bad.

I stopped crying for now and started caring for myself.

I touched every little piece of glass in my skin, and pulled them out fast one-by-one. Just so it wouldn't sting that much.

And when my wounds started to bleed more, I took pieces of toilet paper and wiped all the blood off.

I suddenly heard a knock on my stall. "Hello? Is anyone in there?" someone asked.

I freaked out inside. I had to hide away.

What if it's Nikki? I can't take any chances.

I stood on the toilet, where she couldn't see my feet.

I slipped a little, and my shoe made a squeaky noise.

"Hello?" the person asked again.

"Look, I'm not here to hurt you. I'm not like Nikki. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what happened to you. I really am. And, I'm inviting you to join me at the lunch table, with my friends." she said.

I came down slowly off of the toilet and opened the door, slowly.

She looked at me and said, "Oh my gosh. You need to go to the nurse! Your face-"

"Is ugly? Ya, I know. I've heard it all before." I said.

"No! All those cuts...You really need to go to the nurse." she said, actually sounding caring.

"I'll take you." she said. She took my arm and took me straight to the nurse.

Is someone playing a prank on me? Why is this girl being so nice to me? I can't get used to this.
