Chapter 3

I was laying in the middle of a forest, in the middle of nowhere. My eyes were overflowing with a billion tears. I wanted it to end. I wanted the pain to go away. I wanted it all to stop. I wanted to go back. I wanted it to not have happened. But it did. So I kept crying, sobbing, wishing I could actually drown and die in my own tears. The only thing covering my small exposed body was a torn up old blanket. My long, pale purple hair reached all the way down to my feet, providing a bit more protection. Usually I would put my hair up in double loop-buns or low twintails, or it would drive me crazy. But right now, I didn't care. About anything. I just wanted to off myself and die. I noticed a broken shard of glass near my feet and picked it up, placing the shard up to my thin wrist. I slashed at my wrists again and again with the dull shard until I drew blood. "Mika?" I heard someone call out. "Mika!" I dropped the blade and the tears stopped. I saw Akio running towards me, and I burst into tears again, overwhelmed with emotion. He lifted the blanket off of me, and I automatically assumed the worst, my eyes widening in fear. Instead, he simply unzipped his teal hoodie and draped it over me. My hands clutched the hoodie as he picked me up. He took me back to his house. He gave me a pair of his sisters jean shorts to wear, and just let me keep the hoodie. He even helped my put my hair into two low twintails. "Thank you." I said, unable to force a smile onto my face. "Of course. No problem." He said, noticing I wasn't acting like myself. "You know, you might not want to be in my house." He had a serious expression on his face. "What? Why?" I muttered, puzzled. "Because, for all you know, I could still be a murderer. Or a cannibal." 

"Oh my god, you dick!" I laughed and shoved him. "You scared me!"

"Yeah, well maybe you should be scared. You don't know me very well, after all." He said, smirking. "Shut up, idiot!" I said jokingly, smiling. I looked up at him and smiled. A real smile. for the first time in a really, really long time, even despite everything that'd happened.
