Saving her (Colby Fan fiction) DISCONTINUED

•12•

I look around and see a knife in my hand covered in blood. I drop it and look at myself. I see cuts all over my body and sigh. I then feel something dig into my back, I gasp for air and try to see what it is.

Alex's P.O.V.
I look to my right and see Bella sleeping, she's really funny and I hope we can hang out. She seems like a good kid. About 20 minutes later she starts breathing heavily, her hands start shaking and I gently pick her up and take her into David's room. I set her down on the bed and she starts shaking more. I gently shake her shoulders. Nothing. I shake her harder and say 'hey wake up Bella, it's Alex. I'm scared,'. I shake her one more time and she jolts upright and her whole body starts shaking. I gently grab her hand and she flinches as I lift her head up from her knees. She looks at me terrified and just shakes her head. I sit down next to her and pull her into a hug. I rub her back and tell her it's gonna be okay. She just nods and starts to calm down. "Thank you Alex," she mutters into my shoulder. I nod and pull her closer, Jake told me about her and what happened to her. She pulled away and asked for her bag, I grabbed it from off the floor and handed it to her. "Do you have a bathroom I can use?" She asks quietly. I nod and show her where it is. She walks in and I wait for her. I hear her sharply inhale and then crying. I knock on the door gently. "Bella, are you okay?" I ask. No response. "Bella?" No response. "If you don't open this door I will." I say. I hear water running and more crying. I open the door and I see about five razor blades on the counter, another in her hand currently pressed against her wrist. She hadn't noticed my presence so I gently grabbed her hands. She jumped and looked at me surprised. I take the blade out of her hand and set it on the counter. "Bella . . ." I say tearing up. I used to cut too and it was the worst time of my life. "Alex I wanna kill myself," she says quietly. I look at her and pull her into a hug. "I tried to twice. I'm such a screw up I can't even kill myself without fucking up." She says wiping her eyes. I grab some gauze from under the sink and put them on her wrists. I tape them on and she hides her arms as soon as I'm done. "Do you wanna wear one of my hoodies?" I ask, knowing she'll want to hide it from the Trap House. She nods and I pull my black hoodie off and hand it to her. She smiled at me and put it on. "Wanna go pet Bailey?" I ask holding out my hand. She nods and takes it. I lead her to the living room where Scott and toddy are asleep. I grab Bailey off the couch and hand her to Bella. "Why are you being so nice to me?" She says looking at Bailey. I sigh and say "I used to do the same thing. I know what it's like." She looks at me shocked and concerned. "I haven't in a while," I said rolling up my sleeves. She points to my legs and I change into a pair of shorts and she nods. Colby walks in and smiles. "You ready to go?" He says. "In a sec," she says. He nods and leaves the room. She hands me her phone with my contact, the only thing missing is my number. I smile and type it in handing it back to her. "Are you free this weekend?" She asks me. I nod and she says "Good, see you Saturday then." I hand her her phone and she hands me Bailey. She turns to walk out of the room but then turns around and hugs me. I hug her back and she walks away. I hope we can get to know each other better.

Bella's P.O.V.
I slowly walk into the kitchen and see Colby. He hasn't noticed me so I put a finger to my lips and David's just kind of nods. I jump on Colby's back causing him to yell 'woah' as I get down. "You scared me," he says turning around. He grabs my waist and kisses me gently. I hear multiple camera clicks but I ignore it. David had his camera on the whole time and was recording us kiss. "Why aren't you guys dating yet?" He says. I look at him then Colby and we all just start laughing. Finally I say "I don't know David." He shrugs and walks us to the door. "It was nice meeting you Bella." David's says. He hands me the crutches and we say our goodbyes. "I like them. Especially Alex, he's so nice and when he tried to break the table it-" I cut myself off laughing. I walked back to the car, using the stupid crutches, and sit in the back with Colby. I finally stopped laughing and I put my head on his lap and he stroked my hair with one hand and the other on my arm. He starts rubbing right where my cuts are and I visibly wince. Colby immediately stopped and looked down at me. I was laying down facing the seat with my head still in his lap. He didn't know what to do with his arm so I put it on my waist. He blushed and kept petting my hair. We pulled up to the house and I got out, with Colby helping me I got settled with the crutches. I got up the small steps to the door and waited for the boys to come and open it. "Who's sweatshirt are you wearing?" Colby asks as he opens the door. "Alex's. I was cold and he offered it." I said going into the living room. "Bella get your ass in the kitchen!" Jake yells. I grunt and get up, slowly making my way towards the kitchen. I see Jake holding up the knee brace and some ibuprofen. I sit down at the table next to the counter and put the brace on as Jake sets a bottle of water next to me. "Hey, I'll be upstairs with Colby and Elton so just text me if you need anything." He says, I nod and take the medicine. I get up and go into the living room. I decided to text Alex, cause you were gonna hang out on Saturday. I saw he changed his name to 'Alex Your Best Friend:)❤️' and I laughed.

Me: hey Alex it's Bella, what do you wanna do on Saturday?
Alex Your Best Friend:)❤️: idk, movies, mall, whatever you want to do
Me: the mall sounds good cause we can get food there too
Alex Your Best Friend:)❤️: I love food
Me: same bro
Alex Your Best Friend:)❤️: I gotta go, David wants me to do something for his vlog
Me: good luck dude

I set my phone down and decided to watch The Office. I wonder what the boys are talking about . . .

(A/N) I'll probably be writing a lot cause I have dance intensives all this week and everything hurts which means doing lots of nothing except for writing. If you want to request anything just comment or private message me:)❤️
