My Little Rabbit

The Secret

A/N I know some people may find self-harm terrible and that they should not do anything like that. I agree but that doesn't mean they don't want to talk about it. Just ask them see if you can help in any way. If they say they don't want help don't push them. If they feel it they will come to you for help or someone else.
I wish you all a safe life. Always I'll be lingering.

It had been three days and the festival had started. Wednesday morning Jarith woke up and just got dressed and went to his mailbox Emily was standing there at hers. She looked at him with an icy cold glare. He hung his head low but not before seeing some bandages sticking out of Emily's sleeves on her jacket. Jarith was going to say something but he didn't want to pour gasoline on the fire. Emily had dropped her paper. Jarith went to pick it up, their hands touched and his fingers skimmed her bandages. She snatched her paper up and left the complex. He got his paper and got in his car. He went to the gas station and got a coffee and got a six pack of beer. He drove off and went to the festival alone and sat in his car finishing his coffee as he arrived. He got the beer and cracked it open. Emily on her way to the park she had seen Jarith leave in his car. She saw him again as she went to the gas station to get her coffee. She'd seen the six pack of beer he had. She rolled her eyes at his act. Jarith was on the third beer and was already buzzed. He was being stupid but he didn't care he screwed up and lost the chance with her. But somewhere inside him he felt something. He felt like he could do something to get a second chance but he just didn't know what to do. Cracking open the fourth beer he chugged this one. Emily decided to go to the festival. She knew she would be lonely. She kinda didn't care. She needed something to do. Jarith reached in the center console and rolled what looked like a cigarette he had used tobacco and a little bit of pot. He started drinking the fifth beer and lit the pot cig and he put his bag in his pocket. He smoked and drank he finished the sixth beer and the pot cig and got out of the car high and drunk and walked around the festival. He found his way to mask kiosk. It was all types of kabuki masks. He found one that looked like a cat with all the traditional Japanese features of a cat kabuki mask. He bought it on the spot and put it on. Emily came up beside him not knowing it was Jarith. He looked at her and but didn't say anything at all. Just...looked.
