A Grim Reapers Love (On hold)

One Cut, Two Cut, Three Cut, Four.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was the middle of class and I left my book in my locker on purpose so I could meet Ethan like we do everyday

"Hey Faggot cut yourself last night?" Maddie said walking up to me.

"N- no Maddie I.. didnt"

"Oh Yeah?'' She said and snatched my arm causing me to drop my math book on my foot, She then pulled my sleeve up and pointed at my wrist "What are these"

"Th- They're nothing" I said trying to pull my arm away from her.

"Hey!" I heard Ethan yell at her starting to run down the hall way to where I was. It was my chance to get way, I picked up my book, pulled down my sleeve and ran out the school. I saw her take off, Damn she sure can go fast in some heels. "Renea! Wait'' Ethan yelled after me.

"Leave me alone, I'm just going home." I was just fast walking now.

"Let me go," He caught up to me

"No, my dad-"

"Your dads at work right?"

Damnit I hate it when he's right. "Well yeah but, What you did back there, It wasn't nesscisary"

"I was standing up for you"

"I don't need your help though, I don't need.. anybody's help, or anybody really. I have myself" I said

"You don't- need anybody? You say?" He said and stopped walking.

"Come on, now Ethan. You know that's not what I meant" I said and turned around looking at him.

"Oh, No. I know exactly what you meant.." He said and turned his head, crossed his arms and started to pout.

"Nothing cuter than a pouty emo boy"

"C- cute?"

"Ethan can I tell you something?"

"Yes!"

"Don't laugh when I tell you this, you gotta promise!"

"Okay, Okay I promise!"

"Okay, so yesterday on the way home from school I think someone was like.. following me.. like I go-"

"Whoa Wait" he laughed "Following you?! Haha!"

"See this is stupid! I knew I should not of said anything! You know just whatever" I said and started to walk faster than him.

"No, Wait I didnt mean to... laugh" He said.

I sighed and stopped walking for a second, then looked up "I could really use a wish right now." I said.

Ethan grabbed me and hugged me, and said "I know Renea. I know.."

We continued walking on the sidewalk. I pulled my scissors out of nowhere and started playing with them.

"Do you think it'll always be like this for me?"

"No," He said and sighed "I don't."

"I don't see how you've stayed around all this time.. If I were you, I would've left along time ago. Just like everybody else" I said and gave him a weak smile. He shook his head at the thought of ever leaving,

"Why do you cut?"He said changing the subject.

"I-"

"What for though? What exactly does it accomplish besides hurting your body?"

"It- I... I don't know... nessicarally what it accomplishes.."

"Is it like some sort of morbid contest you have with the rest of the people who do it."

"No,"

"Then why?"

"I-..."

"Will you just stop please."

"I-"

"Will you?"

"Okay."

"Promise."

"I uh.. promise to try to stop" I said and he rolled his eyes at me. "Sorry, that's all I can offer right now" I said and gave him a cheeky grin
