How To Save A Life

I Love You

Lachlan >POV<

Warning- somewhat graphic?

I stepped down the ladder, holding the knife in my hand.

I walked into the light, Skye noticing me, her expression turning frightened.

"Lachlan? What are you doing?" She questioned scared.

"You can't just hurt my feelings and expect nothing to happen," I said.

"Lachlan don't do this. I'm your friend." She reassured me desperately.

I scoffed, "would a friend hurt my feelings and say the person I love doesn't love me back?"

She just sat there seeing the error in her ways.

I walked over to her and put the tip of the knife on her leg, pushing down a little each second.

"La-Lachlan," she said as I continued to push the knife down.

Soon the knife penetrated her skin, her screams filling the secret room.

I dragged the knife across her leg, it leaving behind a crimson trail of blood.

Her eyes filled with tears as I took the knife back from her leg.

"That's what you get, but I couldn't keep going. At least not now," I said turning to leave.

"You just didn't have the heart to!" She yelled, "you're too weak! You're scared that if you kill me, Vikk won't like you any longer. Then no one will like you. But what you forget. Is that no one likes you anyway so your fears have already come true. Not Vikk, not Rob! None of them!"

That's not true.

They like me.

I'm their friend.

Right?

"That's not true!" I yelled, getting angry, "you're lying!"

"No one likes you! You're lying to yourself! You're doing this to me because you feel bad for yourself! Stop feeling sorry for yourself!" She spat.

"That's not true!" I yelled, tears threatening to spill from my eyes.

"It's your own fault! It's your fault no one likes you!"

I collapsed onto my knees crying. Sobbing. She's breaking me down.

"And you wanna know something?" She tested.

I turned around to face her, still crying.

"Vikk told me he doesn't like you. He just felt bad for you and that's why he's your friend. You'll never be good enough for anyone, let alone Vikk."

That's it.

I snapped.

I didn't mean to but. She- she kept breaking me down, until I was as weak as a twig, and she stepped on me. Breaking me. Making me snap in two.

I immediately stood up at great speed and ran over to her.

"Vikk loves me! You're just trying to break me down inside! Well guess what?! I've always been broken inside, you can't make me feel worse than I already do!" As I said that I stabbed Skye in the chest.
