"Likewise, Dante!" I said. I realized I was smiling.
That was strange.
I haven't smiled since before my parents left me. This new strange kid was making me smile. I quickly got serious again. "Say, why did you save me from those girls? I mean thank you and all but why?"
He pondered for a moment. "Hmm... I guess you stood out from other girls I came across in the past few days. You seemed... different. In a good way!" He added the last part almost five seconds afterwards.
"Hmmm... I'm not sure about that but okay..." was all I could think of saying at the time. "Um... I'm gonna head home now. I guess I'll see you tomorrow Dante." I was turning to leave again but he grabbed my wrist again. Thank god I had a long sleeve shirt on.
"Wait! Give me your number. I can text you or call you later." Dante said bashfully. I said ok reluctantly and gave him my number and started to walk away yet again, only this time faster. I was going down the stairs when he caught up again. "Can I walk you back? Just so that those girls don't try to do anything like this morning. I want to make sure your safe." He still had a reddish tint to his cheek, like he was embarrassed. I looked away and said sure.~~~~~~~~~~time skip brought to you by my other deleted story :)~~~~~~~~~~
We made it to my house in about twenty five minuets and we said bye to each other. As soon as I got inside though I felt tears come down my cheeks. This was the first person who made me feel wanted.
But he doesn't know....
I don't want him near me.
I don't want to be hurt.
I don't want to hurt.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry..
.
.I started to sob as soon as I made it to the bathroom. I grabbed the razor I kept in a drawer for this and held it to my wrist. I had to change the blades last week because they were full of blood. I didn't use it because I didn't really want other people at school to see the scars I have.
Well that went all down the drain.As I pressed the razor down on my wrist I slowly slid it across. It hurt. No, it only stung. I never go far enough to hit a vein. Only enough to feel the warmth of my blood and my pulse.
I didn't want to die yet.
Yet.
After a good ten more time I stopped crying. I decided to bandage my arm up really quick. I realized my phone was buzzing so I went to see what it was.
There were messages from half an hour ago.
Was I really in there for that long?
Anyway I checked my messages. There were ten in total. All of which were from the same number.(222)xxx-xxxx : yo what's up?
(222)xxx-xxxx : oh i forgot to say it's me dante

Anna: um hey sorry my phone died and while I was charging it I was cooking a bit of food.

Anna: it's okay let me save your number into my contacts really quickly give me a sec.I saved his contact name as DANTE!¡!¡! The Weirdo. I laughed after when he started texting again.
