Chapter 5:

Hazel’s POV:

Last night was one of the worse nights of my life. Vic couldn’t come over because he was in another town with his family. I told him I would be fine, but I was so wrong.

As I was walking around my apartment, I realized how empty and alone I was without Vic here. He made me feel safe, protected. Protected from what you ask? Myself. I was 10 days clean from cutting, and it was all because Vic was here.

It was only 8:00pm here, but I felt so exhausted, I decided to take a shower and go to bed.

As I took all my clothes off and started the shower, I turned around and looked into my full body mirror. I looked disgusting. My thighs were so fat, my double chin seemed like it got bigger, my stomach stuck out so far, I couldn’t even see my feet.

I didn’t even notice I was crying until a tear hit my chest. I hate myself.

As I stepped into the shower, I remember how I kept an extra blade in the basket under all the shampoos on my shower shelf. I slowly started taking out all of my shampoos and conditioners until I found the rusty old blade down at the bottom.

I slid down on the shower floor, staring at the blade. I can’t believe I ever thought that me and Vic could ever be together. He only dates skinny girls. I’m far from it. As I slid the blade fast across my thigh, I screamed out, “Why can’t you love me? Why can’t I love me?”

Vic’s POV

I’m coming home today, thank god! Me and my family went on a little trip to another town in California to go see some other family. My dad promised me we would come back at night so I could go back to Hazel’s house, but we ran out of gas half way there.

As the hours past, I started getting really excited. I never realized how much I missed her. I’ve only been gone for one night, but I felt like I left the other half of me at her house.

As we pulled up to her house, I got out of the car as fast as I could and ran up to her door. I gently knocked. After a few minutes of knocking, I started to get worried.

“Hazel?” I yelled. I listening very closely, all I heard was a very faint cry.

I started hitting the door as hard as I could, but then I remembered she gave me a key to her apartment.

I unlocked the door and started down toward her bedroom when I realized…

The hallway was full of water. Pink water.

I could still hear her screaming and crying, it was the most horrific sound I’ve ever heard.

I kicked her bathroom door down to find her on the floor in her shower, her thighs bleeding.

I grabbed a towel and picked her up off of the floor, I made her sit on the sink.

“Hazel? What happened?”

She was still crying pretty hard, and I couldn’t understand her very well.

“HAZEL! Calm down sweetie, what happened? Did someone hurt you? I’ll fucking kill them!”

She looked up at me with her eyes blood shot and whispered,

“Kill me then.”

Shay’s POV:

Vic called me about 3 minutes ago and told me he found Hazel on the bathroom floor bleeding.

She cut herself again. I couldn’t believe it. I offered to take her to the hospital, but Vic said he would. He said that her cuts needed stitches. He told me the meet him up there in 10 minutes. He sounded so horrible. I knew he had been crying.

As I tried to get out of bed to get dressed, Mike woke up,

“Where you going Shay?”

“I’m going to the hospital. Hazel cut herself and Vic took her up there to get stitches.”

I looked over at Mike, who looked so pissed off, I could see fire in his eyes.

“Again? Are you fucking serious?”

“Mike, calm down. Why are you so mad?”

“Because she fucking destroying my brother! She’s taken him away from me and all his family, and if she dies, so will he.”

His words pierced through my heart like a spear.

“MIKE! How could you say that? She isn’t going to die….”

I could feel my sobs traveling up my throat. How could he be so cruel? Maybe I don’t know my boyfriend like I thought I did…

Mike’s POV:

I can’t believe Hazel cut herself again. I swear to god if Vic cuts himself again because of her, I’m going to go fucking nuts. God I really hate her. Not only has she taken my brother away from me, she’s taken my girlfriend too.

She has taken everything from me….

-Flashback-

It was my first day of high school, I was so fucking scared I could’ve threw up. The best thing about the whole day is I knew I was going to see the girl I’ve been in love with since I was 7: Hazel.

As I walked through the halls, I quickly found Hazel talking to Vic by her locker. They were both older than I was, so they knew how high school worked better than I did.

I started walking up to Hazel when she looked at me and flashed me the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen. She was the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, even if everyone else didn’t think so.

“Hey Mike, how are you liking high school?”

“Aw, it’s alright. Can you take me home today? I don’t want go with Vic.”

I always tried to come up with ways I could get Hazel alone, so I could tell her how much I loved her.

“Haha, sure Mike.”

I was so excited that Hazel was taking me home, I didn’t pay attention the rest of the day.

When the school bell rang, I got to Hazel’s car before she did. As she started walking out of the school, my heart almost skipped a beat every time I saw her. I couldn’t wait to tell her how beautiful she is, how much I love her.

We both got in the car at the same time, and as soon as we got out of the parking lot, I decided I was going to tell her now.

“Hazel, I need to tell you something.”

“What is it Mike?”

I started sweating really bad because I was so nervous. Might as well say it now.

“I love you. I’ve loved you for a long time, since I was 7. I always wanted to tell you but I was too afraid.”

“I love you too Mike.”

I looked at her confused, “Really?”

“Yeah? You’re like a little brother to me.”

-End of Flashback-

That girl took my heart right out of my chest that day, and I was so hurt because she saw me as some kind of kid, not boyfriend material. Almost 3 weeks after I told her I loved her, she told me all about how she thought she was in love with Vic. I played it cool when she told me, but when she left that night, I broke everything I had in my bed room. Why couldn’t she love me?

It’s been 3 years since all the happened, and I know without Vic even telling me that he’s in love with her too.

I love Shay very much, but Hazel was the first girl that ever broke my heart, and I don’t think that pain will ever go away.

Soon, the love I had for her all went away. She hurt me so bad, and she doesn’t even know it, and now she’s doing the same exact thing to my brother.
