Be My Soldier || Before you Exit

"Im trying to save you"

Chapter 6

I stayed in Starbucks until 6 in the morning staring at space. The two guys I saw was Toby and a guy named Thomas. Toby saw me and I just smiled at him. He's probably wondering what happened to me because I looked like a wreck.

I decided to go home at around 6:30.

When I arrived I fished out my keys in my bag and went inside.

I remembered that my parents weren't here so I took a long hot bath. It was pretty hard If I say so. When I took off my bandage. I saw that my cuts were pretty bad. No erase that. It looks Really Really BAD. I wet it and it stings like shit. After my bath I got dressed and went to the kitchen and got water.

I went to the living room and opened the Tv. I was watching Phineas and Ferb. No judge.. When I heard someone knocking on the door.

I stood up and opened the door slightly and saw Riley.

He saw me and was about to talk when I beat him to it.

"what are you doing here? and how do you know where I live?"

"Okay first off I need to tell you something and second Im not a stalker. I just saw your car here when I was walking and decided to knock."

I opened the door fully and let him come in.

"Sit down"

"thanks"

He sat down in one of the love seats and I turned off the Tv.

"So...what do you want to tell me."

He looked at my arm and I quickly hid it with my hands.

"How is it?"

"How is what?"

"How is your arms"

He said slowly like He's talking to a kid.

"Its fine-ish"

"fine-ish?"

"yeah"

"let me see"

"No!"

He looked at me wide eyed and retrieved his hand back.

"Please?"

I looked at him and wondered why he said that.

"What?"

"Can I see your arm please?"

" Why?"

"I just want to check"

I hesitated but finally give in.

He walked towards me and knelt in front of me. He carefully lift my hand from covering my arms and inspected my cuts.

"Shit"he muttered

He touched every cut and winces every time.

I pulled back my arm quite harshly and settled it in my lap.

"I think you need to leave"

"but Ella-"

"I don't need your help!"I shouted

"Im not helping you Ella" He says quietly

I stared at him gaping. What an Ass!

"Im not helping you Ella,Im trying to save you!"

He stood up and walked out slamming the door behind him.

I sat there shocked at what he just said. I don't know him. He doesn't know me. But why does he need to save me?

I laid my head back down slowly and looked up at the ceiling thinking. Who are you Riley? why do you need to save me?

I silently cried and fell asleep, replaying what he just said.

"Im not helping you Ella. Im trying to save you"
