Tainted Love [Black Veil Brides]

Prologue

She dragged the blade across her skin, just waiting for the footsteps outside to recede. She sighed shakily, leaning against the bathroom door, pressing the blade into her wrist. She bit her lip from the pain, part of her wanting to stop. She carried on, drawing lines across her wrist freely. The blood poured out, dripping down her wrists. She didn't stop though. She was obsessed with it, it caused her pain.

Adrenaline coursed through every vein, taking over the hurt she felt. The pain she suffered was nothing compared to what she felt inside on a daily basis but it blocked it out, made her go numb.

When the blade scarred her skin, it caused her to forget about everything. She focussed on the physical pain even if it was for a few minutes. She loved every second of it and as she wiped away her unshed tears and her blood, regret overtook her. She cleaned herself up and glanced at the blade, her blood coating it.

A small reluctant smile found its way onto her lips as she picked the small metal object up.

She put it away and looked down at her freshly cut wrists.

Pain was her friend, the blade her perfect weapon.
