We drive up to a park. It has willow trees and looks over a cliff. We get out of the car and he leads me to a patch of grass. We sit down and he looks at me worryingly.
"Why was he beating you?"
"Last year I destroyed his car and he hasn't forgiven me for it." Lies.
He looks at me unbelievably, but I keep a straight, believing, face. I'm pretty good at lying, I've been doing it and getting away with it for years.
"It still doesn't give him the right to beat you."
YES! He believed me. Told yah.
"That was the first time, the second time I spit in his face. It won't happen again. He was just angry." Lies again, but I gotta do what I have to to keep it a secret.
"As long as your safe." He looks at me and gets up, heading towards his car.
"Get in the car." He says, motioning to the car.
I get in the car and look out the window the whole time. I felt his gaze on me every once and a while but he didn't say anything. We just sat in silence.
He drove me back to the school, just in time for last period, Study Hall. Perfect. I can sit in the library with my hood up and just do nothing.
Study Hall went by in a flash and soon I was driving home.
As soon as I got home, I grabbed a bowl of spaghetti and headed upstairs. I set the bowl down and grabbed my ring box, grabbing my blade. I added 23 cuts to my arms and 11 to my legs. The feeling of my skin being sliced makes me feel alive. I feel so numb all the time. I don't care anymore.
This time I don't wipe off my cuts. I watch as the blood runs down my arms and legs. I feel better and more human.
Then the feeling goes away. I decide to cut even deeper. I went over all 34 new cuts a couple times, making them really deep. I sit on the bathroom floor for an hour, just watching it. After it stops bleeding, I wipe off the dried blood, put on my PJs and finish my dinner.
I grab my locket and check to make sure my other blade's still in there. I was worried it got lost in the melee from this morning. Good. Still there.
I let out a relieved sigh and lay down. I think about him but stop myself. I just need to go to bed and forget until morning. So that's what I do.
