"I... Um... I" i say.
We sit in silence for a moment.
"I better go..." Jack says and then exits my room.
It takes me a moment until i finally realize what happened and tears roll down my face.
I stand up and rummage through my drawers trying to find my blade. As soon as i do that i walk into the bathroom, not even bothering to shut the door.
I take the blade and glide it across my wrist a couple of times and watch the blood ooze out.
I then hear someone walk in.
I turn around to see Jack. He notices ive been crying.
"Trin, whats wrong?" He asks walking over. Then he notices my wrist.
"Trin," he sighs.
He pulls me into a hug and i cry on his shoulder.
"Im getting blood on your shirt" i say.
"Its alright" he says rubbing my back.
He sits me down on my bed and he walks into the bathroom getting some wipes and comes back.
"Give me your wrist" he says and i do.
He wipes off the red blood with the wipes.
"Please tell me why you do this yourself" he says and i shake my head.
"I cant" i say.
"Why not?" He asks.
"Because, i never told anyone" i say.
"You can tell me" he says.
I shake my head.
"Can you promise me you wont do this again at least?" He says and i shake my head.
"I just cant, jack" i say.
"Why not?" He asks.
"I try to stop, jack! I try real hard to be clean and its like telling someone to stop smoking! It takes a really long time! And even sometimes its like getting rid of cancer!" I say.
He finishes bandaging my arm and lays me down on the bed, trying to calm me down.
"I know you just met me but ill be here if you ever need me, i promise" he says.
I stop fiddling my fingers and look up at him and smile.
We lay there for another while.
"I better go, my moms probably home and wondering where i am" Jack says.
He hugs me one more time.
Then he goes into the bathroom, taking something.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Taking this" he says showing me the blade.
"Jack!" I say.
"Im helping you" he says and walks out.
I throw on a hoodie and go downstairs.
"So, you and Jack" sam says.
"Are just friends" i say finishing his sentence.
"Right" my mom says.
"Hes one of the only two people who didnt think i was a freak!" I say.
"Two people?" My other mom asks.
"Yeah, jack and jack." I say.
"Wow your quite a jack magnet" sam says thinking hes funny. I stare him down.
"Ok ok geez" he says.
"So how long are you here for?" I ask.
"A few weeks" he says.
"Thats good" i say and sit down on the couch.
