Aquarius's pov

  It had been five days since Aries has woke up and it today was when our guardians came to visit us. We had been stuck here for almost a month and stuff has improved a little.
  I sat next to Scorpio waiting for his parents to walk in and my aunt and uncle. They were my only family, I never knew my dad and my mother had passed giving birth to me. One of the reasons my Aunt thought I was the devil's spawn.
I gave a small nod when Scorpio's parents walked in, over to the two of us. He gave my hand a squeeze before walking off with his parents to talk in private. I sat in silence for the next hour watching everyone talk to their family.
"Miss Aquarius." Someone said, I turned to see our therapist "I have some bad news. We just learned about this a little while ago. You're aunt and uncle passed away around a week ago in a car crash. I'm sorry."
I just stared at her as she waited for me to respond. I just nodded my head and pulled at my sleeve.
"If you wanna talk." She spoke "My office is always open."
Yeah I totally wanna talk to the lady who called my roommate fat when I ran off. I just gave her another nod before she was called away.
  My eyes looked around noticing a knife on the table from the head mistress who I guess is my "therapist" cut the cake for our guests. I looked around to make sure everyone was busy before walking over and grabbing it. I shoved it into my hoodie pocket and headed into the girls bathroom. No one was going to go looking for me since they were all busy.
  I cleaned the knife with water to get the frosting and cake off it before leaning against the wall and sliding onto the floor. I held the knife to my wrist before I pressed down and dragged it across my skin. I smiled when I felt the stinging and saw drops of blood start to form. I pressed the knife against my skin again til seven new cuts covered my already scared wrist.
  My head started to feel a little dizzy from cutting a little to deep on some of them. I was about to make the eighth cut when my name was being called and the bathroom door was thrown open.
  "Aquarius!" Someone yelled "What are you doing?"
