Half a heart

Chapter 6

I held on to him with all my heart. I would not let him go like he let me.

Relationships are supposed to have ups and downs, that's just the way life and love goes. If everyone was in a perfect relationship all the time we wouldn't know pain, and if we didn't know pain we wouldn't know joy.

And I'm glad I felt both with him.

"Your so cute when your mad." He poked my side.

"You always let the girl win." I joked. He just let me play video games with him and I almost dominated. But being the little cheat he was he had to win.

"I'm sorry, now come on, let's play." He put his arm around me.

I looked at his green eyes. I bit my lip. I couldn't stay mad at him.

"Fine, but if I lose..." I smiled angrily and grabbed the control.

"Yaheah!" He pumped his hand. I laughed.

He let me win. At 10 we walked to my house.

"Listen I know I've said it like a million times already but I am sorry about what happened. I love you and you know that. Right?" He said.

I smiled. "I love you too." I grabbed his hand and he pulled me into a hug. His warmth lightening me from the cold.

"And this time I promise not to let you break." He said kissing my cheek.

"And I promise not to shatter." I said sneaking a kiss.

He smiled.

"Goodnight bailey."

"Goodnight Zach." I said waving.

I entered my room and collapsed on the bed.

I sat up looking at my arms.

God your a mess bailey! These aren't canvases of art, there victims of pain and memories of torture

They've only made your life worse.

Get rid of those blades for good.

I stood up and grabbed the box of blades.

Each one was labeled.

One for bullying

One for a broken heart

One for self bullying

And one for ending it all.

I closed the box as a tear rolled down my face.

Your not sad bailey.

Your leaving behind the sad memories and pushing in new ones.

New memories with Zach.

I slightly smile and walk to the bathroom.

I sit in front of the toilet holding the box.

My mom must've heard me because she walked in shortly after

"Honey, I thought you stopped that!"

"Mom wait, I'm not cutting watch."

She stood in the doorway as i threw away my pain.

I opened the lid and one by one dropped a blade into the toilet.

My moms hand flew to her mouth.

I stood up to flush away the hurt. I flushed away all the misery.

My mom hugged me.

"I'm so proud of you."
