A Love Like War

Chapter 1- thank god he saved my life

"Mack, are you proud of what you've become?" Jaime screamed violently over the phone.

"Can't we talk this through?" I stuttered.

He couldn't spend another minute of my bullshit.

I'm Mackenzie Shae, 24 years old and can be a bit of a bitch. My hair is so white, it looks like a super bright turquoise with my nose piercing. Jaime and I dated for 5 years. The fourth year, I walked in on him having sex with my ex best friend, kianna. We were best friend until I figured she stole all my boyfriends in middle school. And figures she would steal Jaime from me too. After all that drama, I decided to forgive him, few weeks later, he dumps me for her! Ugh. What a dick.

My real best friend, Alex Gaskarth, has been on tour for 6 months and we haven't really caught up in a while. He came home from touring early and walked in me slitting my wrists. I must've scarred him for life.

May 2nd, 2013

It was 2 weeks after Jaime and I broke up and he was rubbing in my face about him and kianna. Ugh! I hated it! I got so depressed at the same time, angry. I came home from work and saw the blade calling my name. I ran upstairs. As I laid on my bed, I thought "is it really worth it?" Of course it is. I slid it across my wrists making sharp, deep lines across both arms.

Alex is allowed in my house anytime. Not knowing tour was over early...

"What------?" Alex said as he was just about to cry.

"Alex...let me explain. So much has happened and I couldn't handle it anymore.." I stuttered stopping because now, I was in tears.

"You don't deserve this." Alex yelled as he pulled me into his arms. "Trust me, you'll be okay."
