~chapter 10~
Now I'm scared. I shouldn't have to hide from myself, should I? I can control myself. The only thing that scares me is my thoughts.
If you lived the same life I did, you would be scared to.
I walk over to my nightstand and open the drawer. Inside there are magazines with beautiful girls and labels like Get rid of body fat in less than 10 days! I envy those girls, they can have whatever they want, whenever they want.
Under the magazines I see my only friend, the one that has been there for me ever since middle school started. I'm not proud, but at least you know my secret now. My only friend, is a single blade, from a manual pencil sharpener. All you do is unscrew the little, well, screw, and it comes right out.
If you didn't notice, I wear long sleeves a lot. It's to hide all of my memories.
I guess it started half way through sixth grade, I was alone. No one to comfort me, no one to care. My brother had become popular, and left me behind. Lauren was determined to make my life a living hell.
But boy did it become much worse than that.
