Scott: That is more than just a scratch.

Kirstie: Faith, what really happened?

Faith: I already told you. I was sliding my head across the wall and I didn't see the nail sticking out.

Faith P O V

     They got in an uproar and started asking tons of questions. I can't tell them. The very first message I got said not to tell or I will pay the price. I am scared to know what that means. I sure hope they don't find out I've been cutting for the past year.

*skip to home*

Mitch P O V

     Feels good to be home again. I missed my Wyatt. First thing everyone did was take a shower, get everything back organized, and went into the living room to watch Frozen. Well, almost everybody.

Faith P O V

     I didn't have time to watch Frozen. I had to find a place to put my new clothes and blades. My closet is almost full with clothes. And it's a walk-in closet. I think I got more clothes than mama Mitch. I crammed the clothes in the closet and in the dressers.

     Next was my blades. Everyone was in the living room. So I couldn't hide them in there. I did hide them all over the house. Except their rooms.

     It was 9:00. I was getting tired. After cramming all the clothes and hiding my blades. I threw the suitcase off my bed and into the floor. I didn't see the last blade fall out of the bag when I threw it. After I hit my bed. I went right to sleep.

Avi P O V

     Everyone was watching Frozen. We were laughing. Having a good time. Except Faith. She wasn't in here. I got up to check on her.

     I opened the door and found a sleeping Faith. She is so cute. All the bags are still on the floor. All the clothes looked crammed. I'm smiling.

     My smile quickly went away when I looked down and saw a blade. I picked it up then looked at Faith. "She wouldn't" I thought to myself. I walked over and sat on her bed. I pulled her close to me. I took her right arm and slowly pulled her sleeve down, frightened of what I might see. I saw a scar. My eyes got watery. I was surprised. I pulled her sleeve all the way down. There were over a dozen scars on her arm. I felt a tear go down my cheek. I didn't know what to do.

     I got up and went downstairs holding the blade. The others needed to know.

Esther P O V

     I saw my brother walking down stairs with tears in his eyes. "Avi, what's wrong?" Everybody looked at him. I got up. He gave me a hug and started crying. "Ffffasssccuuuutiinggghrrssef" he whined. "We do not understand you when you talk like that" Mitch announced. He let go of me and showed me a blade. "Where did you get that?"

     Avi took my hand and led everyone into Faith's room. He took her arm and it revealed scars.

Scott P O V

     I couldn't believe it. Everyone was in shock. They had their mouths open.

Mitch: Are you kidding me?

Kevin: Faith....

Scott: Don't wake her up.

Kirstie P O V

     I started having tears in my eyes as well. It was hard to believe this. "How long have she been doing this?" I cried out.

Avi: We will do something about it tomorrow. Until then we should let her sleep.
