Demi POV
I stared into the wall. My throat was burning and my wrist was in pain. I sat of the bathroom floor curled up in a ball only letting my left arm sit over my leg as i watched the blood dripped off.
The lock on the front door suddenly began to turn and at that i jolted. I immediately got up and started to wipe of the blood on the towel and as i looked down i realized it was white.
"Shit!" i whispered looking down at the stained towel.
In a panic i looked around the bathroom for a new towel. I looked up to see a shelf full of towels and luckily on the top of the pile, there was a clean white one. I flung the messy one to the back of the shelf put the new towel in place.
I slowly unlocked the bathroom door and peeked my head out to see if my aunt was there. She was in the kitchen unpacking the groceries so i quickly ran up to my room. when i got there i grabbed my bracelets and put them on my newly scarred arm.
It was around 10:30pm when i finally decided to try and get some sleep. As i placed my head on the pillow, thoughts just started rushing into my head. All i could think about was this new school. I only had five days until it re-opened for the year and my aunt said that tomorrow we would be going out into town to get the school uniform and other supplies for school.
I tossed and turned the whole night unable to sleep for my mind racing.
Then a thought popped up. The towel.
I slowly made my way down the stairs trying to be as discrete as possibly. The door to the bathroom was open, so i turned on the light and walked in.
Looking up at the towels, i knew i was too small to reach the one i flung to the back of the pile. I started of taking the towels down gently until i lost my patience and pulled them all down at once, and they came piling down on top of me.
But seriously, how many towels does one woman need?
The door to my aunt's room creaked open upstairs. in a panic i stated raking through the pile until i found the one i'd used, and instinctively put it up the back of my t-shirt. The bathroom door shot open.
"What are you doing up at this time?" my aunt asked while yawning.
"I, uh, came to use the bathroom"
"There's a bathroom across the hall from you" she said
"Oh, I didn't know that" i lied.
"And why are all my towels on the floor" she said looking at the mess.
"Well......I was going to.... go for a run tomorrow, yeah. And since i couldn't sleep i thought i would prepare"
Great. A run. Is that really the best excuse i could come up with?
"Okay then" she said looking confused "But before you go, make sure to clean up this mess before you go"
"I will" i said giggling.
After she had left and went back up to bed, i went outside and put the towel in the trashcan.
I finished putting the towels back up on the shelf then went back off to bed, feeling more relaxed, i drifted off to sleep.
