4:00am, may 22nd

i just woke up from another..

i don't even know.

but i broke a lamp in my sleep.

and apparently only got 2 hours of sleep.

basically what i've been surviving on for over a week.

i just want it to stop.

not just the..waking up and screaming.

everyday.

at four in the morning.

with no clue as to why i woke up screaming.

but everything.

i want everything to stop.

the investigation.

the pain.

the world.

life.

i want cole to be back.

none of this would've happened if he was still here.

i lean back against the cushioned headboard of my bed and shut my eyes.

it doesn't make a difference, though.

since the room is pitch black.

my right hand absentmindedly goes to scratch my left forearm.

tears start streaming from my eyes.

i want it to stop.

i'm shaking.

my nails are scratching harder.

i want it to end.

flashbacks.

they dig deeper into the skin.

when will everything stop?

i feel some skin peel away.

blood.

when will life end?

i can feel it on my fingers.

i can't stop scratching.

i'm overcome by the temptation.

it stings.

it hurts so much.

i can't stop.

it'll never stop.

but i want it to.

so bad.

i miss it.

that night.

under the stars.

the heat.

the passion.

goddamnit.

stop thinking about it.

it's over and it's never happening again.

so stop.

at this point i don't realize how bloody my hand is from scratching my arm raw.

i should probably wash it.

i won't get back to sleep anyways.

so i get up, turn on the lights, and get a towel.

my hand makes it look like i killed someone.

and my arm.. well.

it makes it look like someone tried to kill me.

i make my way to the bathroom, and i realize;

it's gonna be a goddamn pain facing my friends tomorrow.

and not hurting myself with every sharp object i see.
