You woke to the sound of the postman. Just for that moment you hated them. Considering it was precisely 9:19 am, you decided not to cover up your newly cut arm, as no one would be up. You wandered down the steps. When you got to the bottom you sorted through the mail and picked out any of yours. There was only one or two things for you.

You walked back up the stairs, looking down at the floor. You bumped into someone. You got ready to feel the impact of the ground. It never came. You opened your eyes and saw him. He had brown hair and brown eyes. His arm was around your waist. He looked at you and you looked at him. He looked down towards your arm. You quickly hid it before he could see it. He looked at you slightly confused. You blushed and smiled at him shyly.

He helped you up. '' Hi. I'm Dan '' he said. '' And I'm (y/n).'' You stated. ''Well (y/n), would you care to tell me why you hid you arm from me?'' Dan asked you. ''I-I don't really want to talk about it'' you stuttered. ''Oh. Okay'' Dan responded, sounding concerned. '' I guess I'll see you later then'' you said. ''Maybe not, Tumblr needs me'' Dan joked.

You ran up the stairs. Why? Why did he have to come down and see my arm? Why?  You got to your apartment and locked yourself in.

You're so stupid

You got your blade out and just as you were about to cut, there was a knock on your door. ''What?'' you yelled. '' I was wondering if you were okay. You seemed a bit mad with something. Wait- are you crying?'' It was Dan. ''No.. I'm not crying'' You replied, your voice breaking a bit, from trying to hold back sobs while Dan was there. ''Look. (y/n). I'm worried. Open your door. Please...'' You opened the door. Blade still in your hand. He looked down and saw the blade in your hand, and the cuts on your arm. You didn't realise. He looked back up at your tear stained face, his eyes welling up with tears. ''(y/n), why?'' He whispered. Shit. You realised that he had seen the blade and your arm. You started closing the door. Dan put his foot in the way. You dropped the blade. Dan gave you a hug, you hugged back. '' But why? '' Dan whispered to you, his voice trembling. '' I-I'' you sobbed into Dan's shoulder.
