From Michigan To Nevada sticks stones and words

Old habits

'Ouch ouch ouch!' Tory screamed in her head as she was using a sewing needle to draw blood from her finger tips. 'You can stop and let me control the body and you won't feel a thing.' Shadow said.
"No I won't give I'm yet not till I can be with my friends again."

Outside Tory's room her mother listened. After a good few minutes of listening to Tory talk to herself she went back downstairs. 
"Did you talk to her?" Ruby asked, Tory's Nana and Jess' mom.
"No I didn't have the nerve to go and talk to her. She is getting worse since we moved," Jess said as she sat at the table across from her mom.
"What's getting worse dear?"
"Tory is talking to herself even more."
"You sure it isn't her talking on the phone?"
"I'm sure. I'm thinking of home schooling her."
"Just give her a chance at a school it might help her get settled."
"Maybe, but what if-"
"She'll be fine I'm sure." Ruby said reassuring her daughter.

Tory started to draw since the needle wasn't helping.
'Come on I know you want to Tory I can sense it in your thoughts,'
"I'm not going to shadow so shit the hell  up," Tory said as she looked at her phone. She grabbed it and called Cassidy.
"Hello?" The voice said on the other end.
"Hay it's me Tory did you get my message?"
"Oh, Tory burn in hell my daughter killed her self after you left her." Tory gasped as she realized it was Cassidy's Father.
"She's what?"
"She's dead because of you!" Tory then hung up and started to cry. Her close friend was dead and it was her fault. She then got a needle and thread and started to stitch her pinky and middle finger together.
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will kill me."
'You are so broken hearted let me numb the pain in your heart.'
"No shadow not yet!" Tory shouted to her self. With a bloody hand Tory called Ashlyn next.
"Aloha Tory" the voice said.
"Ashlyn you alive? "
"Yes why?"
"Just making sure a friend is still around for me."
"I'm in LV NV now. Want to sneak out and meet up?"
"Of course I will!"
"Bring the bag."
"I will." Tory smiles as she hung up the phone.
