(Y/n) POV:

I pulled the knife from under my bed and dragged it along my arm, leaving a trail of blood as it passed. I wince at the pain, but ignored it, all the terrible things that has happened to me in the past, also seemed to slip away with the blood. I quickly wiped away the blood, and climbed back into bed. I have been cutting for a while now, and I've made it a habit, every night, I would creep into the bathroom and give myself a new cut, it seems like cutting is my only escape from all my problems.

<A WEEK LATER>

Oh no! I only have about 30 minutes to get ready for my date with Scott tonight and I still haven't picked out my outfit yet and any girl knows that 30 minutes isn't enough time! I quickly pulled on a tank top and some short jeans. Wait... If I'm wearing a tank top, Scott will notice my cuts! I grabbed a jacket and put it on, there! I just hope he doesn't notice.

Scott's POV:

"You ready yet?" I called. "Yes! I'm ready!" She said walking down. She was wearing some short jeans and... a jacket? "Why are you wearing a jacket? Its like 30 degrees outside! Are you OK?" I asked, suspicious about why she is wearing a jacket in this weather.

"Oh t-this? I... um... I just...you know..." She stuttered, "Know what?" I asked, I wonder why she is stuttering. "uh... I... just... um... really like this jacket...?" She said, "Why does that seem like a question? Anyway, what do you want to have for dinner?" I asked, trying to push the though behind me.

<DURING THE DATE>

The date was going just fine, I wish I could do this more often.

"Do you want some dessert?" (Y/n) asked. "Sure!" I replied. She nodded and raised up her hand, that's when I noticed some scratches on her wrist. I wonder how she got those...Maybe she accidentally fell or something, I thought, ignoring it.

<AFTER 30 MINS>

(Y/n) POV:

"Thanks for the date, Scotty." I said, while he opened the car door for me.

"You're welcome!" He said while giving me a hug.

Then he opened the door for me, he is such a gentleman. Why is it so hot in the house, I should take off my jacket and left it on the couch.

"Is that...are you..." Scott said while grabbing my arm. I tried to pull my arm away from his grasp but it was too late. Oh no, he just saw my cuts. This is not good.

"Are you cutting yourself?" Scott said in disbelief.

"No, this is not what it looks like," I said trying to convince him. "Why are you doing this to yourself?" He asked.

"I-I... I just feel like I don't fit in, I've had a dark past, and... I make myself to act like others, and to like what others like, nobody ever gives me any attention...I'm scared of every move I make, I'm scared I would make a mistake. I...I just don't know if I can just go on any longer..." I said, tears streamed down my face.

Scott sighed, "Please don't do this to yourself! I know you've been through hard times in the past, but please, just hear me out! I know... that your past has been dark, and you feel like you don't belong, but everyone is here for a reason, you don't have to fit in, you've just got to be yourself! Because you are perfect, just the way you are! Just please, stop cutting, because everyone is perfect. Don't worry, I know it has been a hard time for you, but cutting won't solve anything, it will only make things worse! Please, I'm begging you, stop cutting. Do it for me, do it for Pentatonix, do it for your own good." He said.

That was so... I don't even have to words to explain how touched I am by that... It was so inspiring. "Do you promise me that you will stop?" He asked. I nodded "I promise."

Hi everyone! I just wanted to explain the whole meaning of this story. So my friend, @SammiHung0  and I know some people cut  themselves because they are depressed and it really breaks our hearts, so we decided to write this chapter to encourage people to stop, because no one is perfect, and you don't have to try and be perfect, because everyone is different for a reason and people should appreciate themselves. If you know a person that cuts please tell them to stop doing it, because they are perfect, just the way they are.
