After at least being in the hospital three more days, they finally deciced to release me. I guess my dad already signed all the paperwork, but no one has seen him in two days. Justin offered to take me home, which i was not to sure about because i don't really do cars. If you're wondering why, it's because that is how my mother died. She was hit head on by a drunk driver, and since then i haven't stepped foot in a car. But today i was in no condition to walk so i allowed Justin to drive me. The car rie was silent and long, no one talks, no raido, just the sound of the car and other cars passing us.

We pulled into my drive way and i noticed my dad's car wasn't here, which means he isn't home, thank goodness. I also was a little worried to be honest, i know i shouldn't be because of all the stuff he has done, but he is still my dad. I go to open the door and sigh.

"Thank's for the ride, and for staying at the hospital with me," i whisper to Justin as i go to step out of his car. He grabs my arm carefully and i look over at him. He is looking at me intensely again.

"Jessica, can you promise me something?" he asked with seriousness.. I just look at him and nod. "Promise that, if he ever hurts you again...That you will come across the street and get me, no matter what time it is or anything, that you will come get me," he says. That's when my heart broke, because i knew i wasn't going to keep that promise. I wasn't going to drag Justin in this any farther than he already is. He doesn't deserve this, i don't deserve to have him care. I nod my head.

"Promise," i say getting out of the car and going into the house without even looking back at him. As soon as i shut the door i leaned on it. I needed to release some pain, i haven't cut in a week and i was itching to do so. I ran up to my bathroom and searched for my razor. I finally found it under my pile of towels. I looked at it for a minute or two befor erolling up my sleeves.

One cut for my mother, i hissed in pain as the blade cut my skin. Two cuts for being born, another string of pain hit me as the blade went again. Three for my dad, that one i did the deepest. Four cuts for still being alive, i slide it one more time before sliding down the bathroom wall to the floor. I watched as the blood dripped to the floor, this was my life, i desereved it.

The next day i had to return to school sadly, i already missed a week and i can't miss more or i won't be able to graduate. I locked my front door and stepped out into the heat of spring. I had one a long sleeve to cover my cuts and long pants as well, so i was already dying of this heat. I started my long journy toward teh school. Once i got a block away from my house a 2013 Dodge charger pulled up along side of me. I looked over and Justin rolled down the window with a smile.

"Get in," he said stopping the car while i walked around to the passanger side and got in. It was a five mile walk from my house to school, i was actually thankful for Justin right now.

"Thanks," i whisper to him looking out the window at the tree that are passing by. Our houses are back off the road, with at least thee miles of woods surrounding them, i like it to be hinest. It was peaceful and calm, nothing disturbed it.

"You do know it is 78 degress and you are dressed for winter right?" he joked with a teasing smile. I fake a smile.

"I know, just the stuff from the accident  and all, i don't need people judging me," i whisper. lies, i didn't want people to see my cuts.

"Understandable," he says as we pull up to the school. I quickly got out and almost ran into Layla. She laughs.

"I never throught i'd see the day that Jessica rides in a car again," she says with a bright smile. I shake my head with a small smile as we make out way into the school. Zack and Justin got stopped by some of their friends and they said they would catch up with us in a few minutes. So Layla and i walked toward my locker down the other hallway.

"Hey freak," Maddie says from behind us, but before we had time to turn she had my hair and pulled me to the ground. Layla was quick to remove Maddie's hand from my hair and pushed her back.

"What the hell Maddie! Touch her again and i promise i will rip your fake hair out of that pretty little head of yours!" Layla snaps at Maddie. I knew Layla was still low on sleep from worrying about me, and her and being tired do not mix well. I mean she would rip your head off if you got on her bad side when she is like this, and i do believe Maddie is crossing that line.

"Please, the whole school knows you are the fakest one here Layla," she says making Layla glare at her. Before Maddie had time to realise what was happening Layla had her on the ground. Next Thing i know there is hair being pulled and yelling, bad words, and a little bit of blood. A crowd has gathered around the fight. I go to pull Layla off but it doesn't work because my hair is pulled from behind and i was slammed against the lockers. I look at see Kaylee, she grabs my hair and pulls me to the ground and starts fighting me. I was weak from the hospital still and didn't really have any fight left in me. 

"Hey get off," Justin's voice says as Kaylee was pulled off of me. Justin set her down away from me and made sure she stayed their while he came back to me. Zack was holding Layla around the waist but she had ahold of Maddie's hair still and wasn't letting go anytime soon. I sat up and the room got silent. I looked around and even Layla and Maddie stopped and were looking at me.

"Jessica," Justin whispered looking down at something. I followed everyone gaze and realised that my sleeve had been pushed up. Oh no!
