Chapter 4

Arianna's P.O.V.

My phone buzzed and I got a text from Liz.

Liz - what the hell arianna?
Liz - you knew i liked Hunter, i thought you were my best friend? I thought you cared.
Me - Liz please. It didn't mean anything.
Liz - leave me alone.

I sighed as I looked at my phone. I couldn't believe I messed up this bad. I should have known.
Hunter tapped me.
"What's wrong he asked?" Looking over at my phone.
I turned to him, "Listen Hunter, I don't like you like that. The kiss meant nothing to me. I don't like you, I like Zach. I'm sorry." I said letting everything out.

Hunter stared at me. "Oh." was all he managed to say. "You can leave then." He said getting up and walking over to his bed.
"Now." he said firmly.
I got up slowly and walked out the door, tears filling my eyes. I messed up so bad.

Liz's P.O.V.

I tapped on Brandon's snapchat story and rewatched the kiss multiple times.
Everytime I watched it tears formed in my eyes. I couldn't take this. Why did everything wrong have to happen in my life?
My mom is never home, and honestly I don't even remember the last time she was there to even talk to me.
My dad? No where to be found.
Now the one person that understood me, gone.
Why did people always leave?

I locked the door in my room, lifting up under my mattress. No one would expect it was here.
I picked up my tiny, cold razor and walked over to the corner of my room, and placed the blade on my wrist.

I picked it up, shakily slicing it across my wrist multiple times.

ugly. cut
waste of space. cut
disappointment. cut

I continued, crying even harder.
"Fuck!" I yelled, throwing the blade across the room.
I put my hands to my face, as the blood trickled down my arm.
I banged my head multiple times against the wall, having a mental breakdown.
"Why was I born? Why was I born? Why was I born?" I repeated to myself in between sobs.

Hunter's P.O.V.

When Arianna left, I sat in my room and thought for a little. I had to tell Liz what had happened. I managed to read a few of the messages so it was probably about what Brandon had posted on snapchat.

I grabbed my white nike hoodie, and threw it on over my bare chest. I slipped on my white vans, and started running to her house.

I knocked on the house door multiple times, but no one answered. I twisted the knob, to my surprise finding it open.
"Liz? Is anyone home?" I asked, as I saw that there were dishes in the sink and the house was a bit cluttered.
"Liz?" I said again walking my way upstairs.
"Fuck!" I heard someone yell.
"What?" I asked myself, following the voice and walked into the room.
I twisted the knob, locked.
"Liz? Hey Liz open the door." I said from the other side of the door.
"H-Hunter?" A broken and cracked voice said to me. I assumed she was crying.
"Baby, hey open the door for me." I said knocking gently.

Liz's P.O.V.

I sat on the ground crying, until I heard someone knock on the door. It was Hunter.
"Hey Liz open the door." his loving sweet voice had said.
"H-Hunter?" My shaky voice managed to stutter out.
"Baby, hey open the door for me." He said, his voice put me in a serene state of mine, but he couldn't see me like this.
"I c-can't." I choked, starting to cry more again.
"Liz, babygirl please." Hunter said, making my heart melt when he called me 'babygirl'.

I slowly got up and reached for the door, my arms still bloody.
"Shit." I whispered, quickly grabbing a hoodie and pressing the sleeve against my cuts to stop the bleeding.
I reached in and opened the door and was face to face with Hunter.

Hunter's P.O.V.

"Hey Liz, Arian-" I stop. Her eyes were blood shot, and her right sleeve of her sweatshirt was stained red. Her hair was thrown up into a messy bun, and she stood there small and shy. Still some how she managed to look beautiful.

"Babygirl what's wrong?" I said taking her hand, sitting on the bed and having her lay on my chest.
"Did you cut yourself Liz?" I say looking at her stained sweatshirt.
Liz didn't reply. She starred blankly at the wall.
"Can I please see them?" I whispered.
She moved her left arm towards me.
My heart was racing. I lifted her sleeve up and about 30 new fresh scars were on her wrist.
My heart stopped, why did she do this to herself?
I lifted her sleeve a little more, exposing her arm. There were about 20 more fresh scars, and a lot of old ones.
"Liz.." I whispered.
"I know I'm disgusting." she said shakily, beginning to cry again.
"No, no. I still think your beautiful." I brushed little baby hairs away from her face, and looked into her deep brown eyes.
They were so detailed, and so pretty. I didn't want to look away.
I snapped back into reality, tracing my thumb over the scars and cuts.
"Please Liz, don't do this again." I said looking directly at her.
"Promise me?"
"I..don't know." she whispered.
"Please?" I pleaded, seeing her in so much pain made my heart ache.
"Hunter.." her voice trailing off.
"Okay, then at least promise to text or call me whenever you feel like it's going to happen." I said hoping she'd agree.
"Alright." Her soft voice whispered.

I moved my body fully onto her bed, and brought her close to me. I wrapped my arms around her waist.
I don't know why I was holding her so tight, and close to me. She looked so beautiful, I couldn't lay my eyes off of her. 

I think I was growing feelings for her.
