I walked into my house, sighing. I trudge up the stairs and into my bathroom.

After talking to the girl, which I soon found out her name was Ruby, I learned that she had only cut when she turned 13 but never stopped till 15. Then she just restarted.

*****FLASHBACK*****

She sobbed harder at my speech. She nodded.

"What's your name?" I ask.

"Ruby."

"Well mines in Marie. It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, Marie." she spoke quietly, her sobs quieting down.

"Thanks. Now why are you out here? It's starting to get late?" I say, lightly swinging in the light breeze.

"Oh well. My mom is just a bit mean. She isn't my actually mom, I was adopted. But she treats me like a servant." she said, wiping the dry tears from her face.

I nod.

"You see, I was adopted when I was 13. My real parents were killed in a car accident when I was 12. I was sent to foster care, then a year later, adopted my my mom. She loved me. For the first few months. Then she snapped. She would boss me around, treating me like a servant. I cut for the first time at age 13. It just killed the pain a bit. Then at age 14 I cut too deep. I was in my bathroom, cutting. I cut too deep and then blacked out. Mom found me a few minutes later because I wasn't responding to her when she yelled for me to get her something." Ruby said, twiddling with her thumbs.

I nod, listening.

"From there on she would call me names. Suicidal slut. Bitch. Attention whore. And I just took the insults. Then one day I realized that I didn't need to cut, so tried not to. I started when I was 15. Now I'm 16. And I just cut again. For the first time since I was 15." she said, he voice cracking.

"Why?" I mumble.

"Because I realized how bad everything is getting. My mom is getting abusive, physically and mentally. And I haven't done anything about it. I'm a wimp. I can't even stand up to my own mom." Ruby said.

I sigh. Thats not true. You aren't made for this. You were born into a happy family. One where everything would be great till the little bad news would pop up every once in a while. So god obviously put you here for a reason. He knows you can handle this." I say.

"Yeah, I just so." Ruby mumbled.

The park lights flickered on, the park lighting up. The sun was down it was now dark.

"Well I need to head home. It was great meeting you. Can I have your number so we can hang out or something?" I say, stand up off the swing.

"Yeah." she handed me her iPhone when I handed her mine. She entered her number as I entered mine into her phone.

I grabbed my phone back, handing hers back.

"Thanks Marie. I'll see you soon?" she asked, stand up.

I nod, smiling back as I walk down the park sidewalk.

*****FLASHBACK OVER*****

I turn on the water from the facet, grabbing my toothbrush, putting tooth paste on the bristles them began washing my teeth.

Ruby came to mind. I wonder how she is now. I hope she went home. She probably didn't want to go home, but I hope she did. It's late. And definitely no place for a broken teenaged girl to be walking around after the sun has gone down. who knows what is around these towns...

I wash my mouth out with water, then walk back into my room. I plug my charger into my phone, then laying down in bed.

I slowly fell into a deep sleep with an empty bed.

A.N.

Hey. I don't know if I am going to continue this story. Comment if I should keep going. I don't really want to because Taylor is my friends favorite and doesn't want me to like him. And I don't want anything to happen so... Idk. She's my best friend too so I don't like this. So I'm probably going to delete everything I have that is Taylor. I really don't want anything to happen to our friendship because Taylor is my third bae.

Thanks for reading. It means a lot.
