I wake up the next morning and I don't remember what happened after I got into the car.
I check my phone to see a text from Andy saying: "goodnight, my fallen angel. :)"

I text him back, letting him know that I'm awake by saying: "good morning batman. <3"

Andy-goodnight my fallen angel. :)

Alex-good morning batman <3

Andy-good morning <3

Alex-one sec, going to get dressed

Andy-okay

I get out of bed and go to the bathroom. I open one of the drawers under the sink and take out my box of razors. I take the sharpest one and glide it against my wrist. I watch as the blood drips down my wrist. I can't tell Andy the truth. He must never know. I clean up the blood and rinse it off of my wrist. I wrap it in tissues for a few minutes to prevent it from bleeding even more. I go back to my room and put on a Green Day t-shirt with black leggings and white vans. I put on my makeup. I make the smokey effect with my eyeshadow and put on my eyeliner. I wing the eyeliner and put on light pink lipstick. I grab my phone and text Andy:

Alex-I'm back :D

Andy-hey, do you think you can come over and help me unpack the last few boxes?

Alex-yeah, I'll go ask my mom, she will most likely say yes since you're the only person that I talk to...literally...

Andy-okay, great <3 see you in a few minutes!

I go downstairs and ask my mom if I can go to Andy's. She sighs and nods.
I run out the door, not realizing that I didn't put concealer on my scars. I knock on Andy's door and wait for him to answer. The door flies open and Andy jumps out from behind it and kisses my lips. I kiss him back, finally realizing that my scars are visible. Oh, shit, I forgot about my scars! I hope he doesn't notice them!

"We should probably finish up so that we can finally hang out," I suggest, hoping he doesn't look at my wrists. I quickly look at them and realize that my wrist is bright red around the cut that I made before I got ready.

He looks at my wrists, realizing that the left one is bright red and gasps.

He grabs my wrists and asks, "why do you do this to yourself? A beautiful girl like you shouldn't be doing this!"

I start crying and I run inside and sit on the couch. I hide my face in my hands and I feel Andy wrap his arms around me. He hugs me tight and kisses the top of my head. I calm down and start to tell him everything.

"Andy, there's something I haven't told you," I sigh and my eyes start to tear up again. "The truth is, my dad didn't leave us. We left him. My dad used to abuse me when I was 5 and my mom couldn't take it anymore. We used to live in New York City but then my mom packed our bags and we moved here when I was 7. Sometimes my mom abuses me but that's only when she's upset about something. She hasn't abused me in a while but sometimes she threatens me saying that she's gonna beat my ass or something if I don't do what she says. I started cutting when we moved here because she would abuse me every time she thought of my dad."

I start crying to the point where I can't speak anymore. Andy wipes away my tears and hugs me.

"Please try not to cut anymore. You should have told me sooner and I could've helped you," he sighs. I can hear that he's trying not to cry. "Maybe you can move in here with me; I have an extra room."

"I would love to. I don't think I can live in that hell hole anymore. Living with my mom just keeps reminding me of our old house. She just stood there and watched everything happen. Or she would walk away like nothing is going on."

He gets up and lends me a hand. I grab his hand and he walks me upstairs and shows me the spare room.

"I was going to make this a game room or something but you can have this room instead. We can put the game room in the basement instead."

"You don't have to do this, I'll be fine at my house."

"No, I don't want you harming yourself anymore. You'll be safer here. I'll protect you. No matter what happens, I will always love you and protect you." He says as he kisses the top of my head.

"I'll be fine; I don't want you going through all this trouble to protect me. You don't have to do this."

"I want to. I want to protect you."

I hug Andy and try to kiss his cheek, "I love you."

"So...are you taking this room or are you staying with your mom?" He asks with a smile, hoping that I say yes.

"Yeah, I can't stand living with her anymore. She might end up knocking on the door 24/7 but she'll give up at some point."

He smiles and kisses my lips. He grabs the keys and we go to Home Depot to get paint for my room. We get red and black paint. We get paint trays, paint brushes, and paint rollers. We also get tape to put on the floor and ceiling so we don't get paint on it.

We go back to Andy's house and go to his spare room. We set up the paint trays and start painting. We did two walls black and two walls red. We let the paint dry for a few days then we move in my stuff from my mom's house.

I stayed at Andy's house so that he can make sure I didn't cut. He made me leave my razors at home and he hid all the knives and scissors. I was about to fall asleep on the couch but then I heard Andy come in.

"If you want, you can always come into my room," he says as he kisses my forehead. "Goodnight my fallen angel."

"Goodnight batman," I mumble as I fall asleep.
