The tattoos had really become a part of me.  I could feel the ink slipping into my skin as the rising sun illuminated them.  

They almost made me feel guilty for cutting.  They were, to a certain extent, pieces of art, and here I was digging into them, defaceing them, and covering them with scars.

But for a brief moment they all blended together: the red dripping over the blues and greens of roses and butterflies etched into my pores.

I must have looked a mess.  

But the guy still picked me up when I lifted my thumb out into the cold stale air.  

Irony; I put it down when I saw him coming.  I didn't want to be inside that car.  It was the same car he'd had.  Even that same shade of red.

But he'd stopped anyway.  

As I crawled into the seat, smelling sweat, I chuckled.

"What's so funny?"

"I think I knew you would stop."
