(Caroline's pov)

I sit alone in my old town park listening to Black Veil Brides as I swing my worries away. My boyfriend of a year and I had just broken up and I'm doing any thing to keep myself away from the blade. As I look down at my wrist disappointment fills me as I see the fresh scarlet lines that drag a crossed fresh pink scares. Iv tried to quit but this is harder to quit then smoking or for me it is.

It's 10:30 at night so the park is empty I take a breath and sing out my favored song by bvb.

"The gates of heaven are looked shot the pits of hell they where all filled up an I fear I don't belong here they may call me a sinner a walking flame from the fire that burns disappear I don't belong here."

"You have a strong voice for such a small girl" I turn around in my swimg to see Andy sitting in the one besides me.

"What are you doing here?" I ask before my mind can stop my mouth. My town is fare away from Cali and there is nothing in it.

"I have family that just moved up here so the band told me it would be best for me to come to a small town like this after Juliet an I broke up..." He says as he looks down at his hands. I run my eyes a blink this can't be real I must be dreaming.

"I'm real" he says with a little smile as he pushes he feet off the ground.

"Sorry it's just I can believe your here."

"Whats your name?" he asks with his amazing Smile.

"Coraline." i choke out this is real hes here Next to me. It's the middle of summer so there is still a small bit of light shining. Andy looks down at my wrist and his smile turns to a frown. I realize I never put my wristbands back over the fresh cuts on my wrist. I just met him and now he hates me. Good job C.

As I look down at her wrist I see an all to familiar sight. Her wrist are stripes with different shades of red and pink. As I see the cuts I feel my smile fade and now I look down at my wrist that match the colors of hers.

"Why?" I here her whisper threw tears.

"I felt alone after I broke up with Juliet... And I fell back into my past to where this would make me feel same make me feel sane when really all it does is take us over." Tears start to come flow from my eyes. The small girl with long black hair which falls just over the small of her back has bright green eyes and pale white skin she looks lifeless but beautiful at the same time. She stands up and wraps her arms around me.

"It's funny how love can destroy us isn't it?" She says as she tries to hide her pain behind a smirk.

"So what's your story?" I ask as I pull her scared body onto my lap. She's so small it looks like her skin is just stretched over her bones.

"It's way to long iv been this way for seven years sense I was eleven."

"We have time I want to here it all." I say as I pull her head onto my chest.

She takes a deep breath.

"The first time I ever cut I was eleven my dad tried to hit me like be had done with my siblings and my brother wouldn't let him so they got in a fist fight and he was kicked out. I felt so trapped and alone that I didn't know what else to do so I went to the blade I got addicted and soon cutting wasn't good enough cutting didn't make me skinny all cutting did was distort my already messed up body so I stopped eating and what I did eat I would ... Throw up... And now this is what I have become." Tears flow from both our eyes as I feel her pain flow threw me. I hold her head to my chest again and slightly swing us back and forth this poor girl has so much pain as I look over her body I find bruises on her back and shoulders.

"Did he do that to you? Your dad?"

She looks at me with confusion in her eyes.

"Which one are you talking about?"

"There's are more who have hurt you?who?"

"My ex boyfriend"

"Never go back to him you need to promise me that promise me you'll get out of that house as well." I say as we swing high and higher into the sky it's like where leaving all the worries and going to somewhere that pain can not get us.

"I have no where else to go and it's no so bad iv gotten used to it once all you know is pain is stops hurting."

"Come back to my family's camp with me even if its just for the night come with me and get away."

She shakes her head yes as she slides off if my lap and graves her bag that sits next to her swing.

"I walked here I hope you don't mind it's a pretty long walk I'm up on south shore" I say hoping it won't change her mind.

"It's ok I love walks ... But I don't like the dark she says quickly under her breath. I grab her hand as we walk to my camp talking about music and anything we can to keep her mind off the dark.
