Mike's POV

I knew it was bad. But I couldn't help it. It was wrong, but it felt right. The girl I loved more than anything in the world had just been ripped from my life.

Last time that happened, this was the only way I knew how to handle it. It just felt so familiar. So..right.

It started bleeding, and I realized right then what I had done. It was so very bad. I shouldn't have done it. I threw the razor down and grabbed the antibacterial and bandaids.

After cleaning and sealing it properly, I changed into a long sleeve shirt. I went to find Nancy.

Nancy's POV

I was on the phone with Jonathan when Mike knocked on my door.
"Can I call you back later?...Ok yeah. Talk to you then." I hung up the phone.

"What's up?" I tried to act casual, but Mike's face suggested otherwise. It was red and blotchy, he'd obviously been crying. I was about to ask him what happened when he pulled up his left sleeve. I gasped.

"Oh, Mike. You shouldn't have." He nodded slowly and fell into my arms. I tried to calm him down, but his whole body shook with every shaky inhale. He let out a treacherous sob.

Holly was at a play date and mom and dad were out too, so I wasn't worried about them hearing anything. I was just worried about my poor, troubled, little brother.
