Forever Love, Through Good And Bad

A Non Normal Day

I wake up to the most beautiful thing ever! Zack. He's the most beautiful thing to ever cross my eyes. I sit up in my bed and look over to make sure he was asleep. I go to my dresser and grab a package of blades. I walk back to my bed and sit on the edge. I take out a blade and hold it up to my rist. Something stops the motion of my blade before it even touches my rist.

"What are you doing." I hear Zack say sternly taking the blade out of my hand.

"I have more. I'm not going to only have one." I walk over and grab another one. And before he can stop me. I cut it deeeeep into my skin.

Zack takes off his shirt, runs up to me, and wraps it around my rist and ties it.

"Stop." I tell him. But, he doesn't. That means that he cares. FYI!

"No! You stop! How long have you been doing this?" Zack asks looking at me highly concerned.

"Since last week." I say without any expression at all.

"I can't let you continue doing this to yourself." Zack says. He takes all of my blades away and throws them into the garbage disposal.

I run outside and start running as fast as I can down the road. I see an alley and try to hide in it. But, he finds me.

"Lexi, there are other ways to deal with these things." Zack says sitting next to me listening to me crying.

"Oh really, there are other ways to deal with your parents being dead and having to tell your younger siblings that they've been on a business trip for the past three years, or trying to support your family by working immediately after school. Me and Seth and Justin are never home because we work so many jobs! Just to support all of us! It won't be ok. It never has been! Mom is gone and so is dad, no one else in this world cares about me! No one ever has even when they were alive I've been ignored all my life and disappearing wouldn't make a single difference! I live in the shadows and I always have, leaving the shadows wouldn't leave a shadow behind!" I say crying into Zack's neck while hugging him for comfort.

"Lexi, I'm sorry. And people do care about you, I know that for a fact." Zack whispers through my hair and into my ear.

"Like who?" I whisper into his neck.

"Me." Zack says and that makes me stop crying and look up at him.

"Stop lying , you don't care about me. No one does." I say looking down.

"You know what, I have tried and tried to impress you, and if you can't see how much I care about you then, your not worth it!" Zack says pushing me off of him, standing up, and walking away. He left me to cry, alone in an alley way, me not knowing my way back home.

"Hey little girl, why are you crying?" Someone asks me lifting me up to stand.

"Um, can you not touch me, I need to find my way back home." I say looking  up to see a guy, who looked like a gangster.

"Well maybe I can help you find your way home." He says pulling me into him and grinding on me.

"Um, can you stop that, please." I say starting to cry.

"Baby, you don't need to cry, because once you fuck me, you'll be in love with me like all the other whores I've fucked before." He says, getting so close to me that I can feel his breath.

"Hey, lex-" Zack is cut off by what he sees! "Hey, what the fuck are you doing, get off of her!!!" Zack yells as pushes him off of me.

"Bye!" He yells running away.

"Are you ok?" Zack asks sitting down next to me on the ground where I am crying into my knees.

"Go away, way did you even come back?!" I yell my face still in my knees.

"Because I was worried about you I didn't want you to get hurt." Zack says grabbing my hand to hold.

"I'm completely fine without you, I  don't need you!" I say running away from the scene. I heard him running after me, but I just kept running until I reached my house. I closes the door and locked it behind me.

I slid down to sit at the door. I heard Zack do the same thing at the door. I started to cry very heavily!

"Hey princess, you might be able to hear me and you might not, you might belive me and you might not belive me. But, I love you princess!" He says about to cry. And that's when I unlock the door and open it to see him crying and standing up staring at me. I look up at him crying, as well. I hug him and start to cry even harder on to his chest while he cries on my shoulder and bending his neck down just to do it hug me and cry.

"I love you too!" I yell while still crying and breaking down and blubbering.

"I won't let anything happen to you, I will protect you, I will never let you go, I love you!" He starts blubbering.
