You Saved Me

Leah Pov.

Cuts deeper then you can imagine.

Skin tinted bright red.

Wrists swollen.

Tears lacing my face.

Blood oozing out of me.

What has my life become? Why has it become this? I live in hell, my life a living nightmare. I live my life in fear.

Fear has consumed my life, i let no one in. No one even tries to be let in, the give up right away. I don't blame them, I don't talk. I haven't spoken in 4 years. I didn't choose for all this to happen, when it all happened I tried to prevent it but I couldn't stop it. One thing happens, one thing ruins everything, do not regret anything take what life gives you. I may be living, but i'm dead on the inside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I make myself my cup of coffee, and go into the living room to watch a little bit of Big Bang Theory before I go down to the music shop. Music is the only joy I have left, my life was ripped away from me but I will never let music be ripped away.

I finish my coffee, and set the cup in the sink. I grab my jacket and slip it on along with my shoes. I make my way down to the lobby of the apartment building, I give Greg the doorman a smile and a nod when he greets me. I pull my jacket closer to my body when the winds hits me, I walk down the streets, I imagine my life being different then what it is now. I look around at how everyone else is happy and try to remember what that is like. Before I know it I reach the small music shop that I work out.

When I open the door the bell rings signaling that I had come in. Beth pops up from behind the register and greets me. Beth is around 28 years old, she is super sweet and is the only person i feel comfortable around. She knows my story and never trys to force me to do anything I don't feel comfortable doing.

"Morning love, how are you?"

I give her a genuine smile and a thumbs up signaling that I am doing good. The main struggle is asking how she is. I think she knows by my face usually because she will asnwer back.

"Thats good, well lets get to work then!"

I take my jacket off and pull the sleeves down farther on my arm so no one can see the new cuts on them. The day starts off with a few costumers coming in and out and Beth taking care of them. After a little I grab a broom and sweep around the place making it look nice and I put out some air fresheners so it will smell better.

Around 1:30-2:00 o'clock, Beth calls me to the back,

"Honey, I have to go and do a few things. Do you think you can manage the place while i'm gone, I won't be longer then an hour and a half."

I give her a smile and a nod. The packs herself up and sets off. It is a slow day, so I am really bored. I go over to our record player and go through all the records. I come across one of my favorites In Utero by Nirvana. I pick it up excidedly and put it in the player. Soon enough the music is playing throughout the shop. I dance around the isles cleaning anything up.

I get so lost in my own world, that I don't even notice the bell ring and someone coming in. I hear someone cough behind me, I pratically jump out of my skin and I let out a shriek. Immediatly the stranger starts laughing, I turn around with a scowl on my face, but it immediatly leaves when my eyes land on the most beautiful person I have ever seen.

A tall boy dressed in all black, black skinny jeans, a black fitted shirt with a dark beanie on a black vans. His hair a dirtly blonde and styled up in a quiff, his beanie resting behind it. His eyes are a piercing blue, he has a button nose, and small plump lips. On the left side of his lip there is a small black lip piercing there. He is tall and very lean, he is towering over then me. He is defiantly over six foot.

He lets out another cough bringing me out of my trance, he smirks down at me knowing he just caught staring at him.

"Um hi, I was wondering if you have any of Blink 182 records."

I give him a nod and signal him to follow me, I take him down a few isles before I find the records.

"Thank you for the help."

He puts his hand out for me to shake. I smile at him politley before I leave him a lone and go behind the counter. A few minuetes later he comes to the counter with about 2 records. I ring him up and before he leaves he starts talking to me.

"So do you talk?"

I shake my head, and he looks at me with a confused look before he smiles at me and before he turns around to leave. He opens the door but looks back at me,

"By the way my names Luke, hopefully one day I will know yours."

He gives me a warm smile before he leaves. My eyes following that beautiful stranger. He left me wondering why he would ever want to know my name.
