29 Days Of Grace

Day 0.5

I gasped as I felt the sharp edge of the knife bury itself deep in my skin.

Tears blurred my vision, but I forced the knife deeper and deeper, till I was so overwhelmed with the pain in my wrists that I didn't even notice my grip loosen on the knife and clatter to the floor.

I slumped to the floor,as I leaned my cheek against the cold tiles of the floor, closing my eyes.

I took ragged breaths, as I suffocated from within.

Just a matter of few minutes, Grace. Let yourself burn like the bright flame.

I saw red everywhere. Behind my closed eyes. On the floor. Oozing out of my wrists.

I was burning. My body was on fire. It hurt my body as I took every breath.

Just a matter of time till I take my last breath. Till I'm free from this caged world.

I opened my eyes to look around one last time, before I leave.

I was in the hidden corridor of the school. It was situated on the sixth floor of the school. The forbidden floor.

It wasn't allowed to come here, for whatever reasons. So nobody came here, at least not to this hidden corridor I had once stumbled upon, as I searched places to be alone for lunch.

Trust me when I say that even the library isn't safe for me. My life was that difficult.

So I wasn't scared of trying to kill myself , where no students, no teachers and no cameras could find me.

Suddenly I heard a movement. I froze, as I bit my lip to control my heavy breathing.

No, no, no this couldn't be happening. Of all the times I've been here, and right now, at this moment somebody had to stumble upon me. 

I started crawling away, in attempts to hide myself before I was discovered and saved.

No I didn't want to be saved. I wanted to die without any interruptions.

Before I could walk any further a voice stopped me in my tracks.

"What are you doing- hey! Is that blood?"

I knew the voice very well. All too well.

It belonged to the royal bad boy of my school- Celestal High.

"Hey what's goin- Grace Parker?"

" what the fuck has happened here?"

Aiden Maddox boomed as he spotted my wrists.

"Are you trying to kill yourself?", he asked me angrily, as he crouched down and held my wrists in his hands.

The world tilted and I ignored his question, as I confirmed one thing, I'm going away from this world at last.

"No! No! Grace! Keep your eyes open! Talk to me! ", Aiden begged.

The last thing on my mind was as I slipped into unconsciousness was, why does he care. And how does he know me?

And then I was gone.

"You're awake!", the first thing I heard as I woke up.
