I woke up about nine O'Clock and saw my arms wrapped around Emily.
She woke up slowly and started blushing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know...I...um...I" I stammered probably turning bright red.
"Its fine, I mean we are friends...nothing weird about it," she said softly while blushing.
We were friends, but I felt like things were becoming more then friends.
I noticed her sleeves were rolled up from sleep and I saw cuts, scars, and burns all up and down them.
"That's why you wear long sleeves," I whispered and she gasped.
She quickly sat up and rolled her sleeves down.
"Shit," she whispered as one of her, I only have to assume, recent cuts started to bleed again.
"Emily stop! I'm gonna get a bandage and then I would like an explanation,"  I said softly.
She stopped and looked at me with sorrow in her hazel eyes.
I got up and went into the bathroom to grab some bandages.
Why would she do that to herself? What would cause her to hurt herself?, I asked myself.
She was stubborn but damn it was I going to get an answer out of her.
