After I dropped Poly off at the airport and went back home, I went in my lonely room. I grabbed the full pack of old cigarettes that I never smoked from a year ago. I lit one but didn't put it in my mouth, I pressed it against my wrist. The first five burns stung but I got used to the feeling. I deserved this because of how stupid I was to get over Max and Sidney's death.
After I was done, I opened the window in my room and turned on the fan. I was going to go lie down but as soon as I threw myself on the bed, it hurt. So I put on a long sleeved shirt and some pajama pants and decided to go watch a movie.
-Time Skip-
It's been a month and Poly is here again, me, Matt, and Ryan helped her move in and she lives with us now.
Poly's point of view
After I moved in with Mono, I noticed something about her. She has been acting very depressed lately. Right now she is cooking but I kept seeing her pull her sleeves down every time they rolled themselves up.
"Mono can you come here for a second?" I was going to ask her for a hug. She walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me but I grabbed ahold of her wrists. I quickly pulled her sleeves up and expected to see cuts but her whole arm was covered in burns. She looked at the ground with a face full of regret. I unbuttoned her shirt and her whole chest was covered in the same burns on her wrist. I hugged her and made sure I didn't hurt her. She cried while hugging me back.
That morning I woke up and helped Mono with the burns. I didn't want to ask how they got there because I already knew. I didn't want her to be reminded of the reason why he did that. I put bandages with some kind of stuff that helps with burns on everywhere there were burns. Being gentle so I didn't hurt her.
After I helped Mono with her burns, I got a call from my mother.
"You need to come home now, something happened to your grandfather and we don't know if he will live through it!" Said my mother quickly.
All I said was "okay" and hung up. I knocked on Matt and Ryan's room and they let me in.
"Okay guys, I have to go home. I am only going to be there for a few days but I need you guys to take care of Mono. She has self-inflicted burns all over her and I need you guys to make sure she changes the bandages every day."
"They didn't ask questions and told me to go tell Mono that I was going home. I gently knocked on her door and she let me in.
"Hey, I am going to have to go home for a few days but I promise I will be back." Her eyes started to tear up, "Hey, hey now. I will be back in a few days, I promise." She grabbed my arms and wouldn't let me go.
After sweet talking Mono into letting me go, I was finally being driven to the airport by Matt and Ryan. Every time they drove me here they always went together. I sat in the backseat as Matt and Ryan sat in the front lip syncing and dancing to cheesy love songs. Sometimes Ryan would give me a high five or something and make me dance along with them. Matt would yell along with the songs too. They always made sure that not a single ride was boring, and they did a pretty good job of it.
