Chapter 1

The blade cut into her wrist easily.One line after another.
" I'm such a disappointment, my dad can't even look at me." The 12-year-old girl cried silently. She never intentionally cut her self before, But she knew that this would be the beginning of years of self-inflicted injuries .

Levi hurried to school. She didn't want to be late but she didn't want to be early either. She pulled the sleeves down, below her wrists. She had enough to deal with, like the large figure coming her way.
"Oh, why can't he just leave me alone." Levi whimpered to herself. She was soon surrounded by Brian Andrews and his buddies. They started pushing and shoving her around. Tripping, Levi fell face first on the ground. The boys laughed and  walked off. Levi got up and walked off.

Matthew Jackson sat staring out the window of the van. He was taking in the scenery of the place he would be calling home. It would be easy to make friends for him. At 16, he was very talkative, but of course before he became a born again Christian, Matthew was very shy. His 6 year old sister, Mary, was singing Jesus loves the little children.
" will you sing with me?" she asked her big brother. Matthew grinned and they sang the rest of the trip.

Matthew loved his new room. It was much bigger than his old one, so he could unpack everything. He was hanging posters when he heard a crash in Mary's room. Matthew raced to check and there she sat crying, holding the heard of her porcelain baby.

"There there Mary," he said. "I can fix her."

"You can?" her eyes widened.

"Sure I can." Matthew answered. "Just as soon as I unpack my super glue."

The following night Levi locked the door as she walked in her room. She did her homework and put in back in her bag.When she was done she picked up her blade and started doing the line after line on her wrist and her inner thighs.
" stupid,stupid,stupid ." she told herself as she drove the blade through her skin. When the bleeding slowed she took a shower and cleaned up the floor.

"Matthew," Mary shouted at the top of her lungs. "Your bus is here". Matthew finished brushing his teeth and raced out. He didn't want to be late on the first day.Matthew climbed in the bus and sat down. at the next stop, a boy his age walked up to him.

"Hey," he shouted. "Get out of my seat". Matthew found himself on the floor, boys laughing around him. Embarrassed and red faced, Matthew found another seat.

Levi was early today, so, as to avoid Brian and his minions, she went straight to a bathroom and stayed in there till she heard the first bell. Levi raced to her first class and sat down before the final bell.
