Patty's pov

I sigh, it's been two years and the pen has faded. No responses were written and the hope has left. I look at my wrist, the door, my wrist, the pen.

The pen I had used two years ago. It was set on my desk, collecting dust beside my old pokèmon cards. Rachel had left two days ago, her and her soulmate gone with the wind. She left me to deal with mom and dad after I took all the hits for her.

I look at the door, my wrist, the door, the pen, my wrist, I grab the pen. The pen was given to me by Rachel, "I used it to find my soulmate, use it to find yours," She had said. It was a black, BU3, ballpoint, bic pen. An incredibly nice pen, yes, but how could a thing filled with ink and poison be used to find a person?

The ink inside laced with poison was used on skin to find the one they were told they had to love. Someone, somewhere, tells you you have to love this person because the marks you make appear identically on them. Convenient, in a way, no coffee shop dates or rejection to live down.

The plastic enclosed the poison, "protecting" us from the dangers of the ink. Plastic can be broken and the ink can be consumed. Like a relationship, the plastic is the two partners and the ink is the aftermath. The venom-laced words spit at each other in a fury of anger, only to be forgiven with painful thrusts and quietly whispered moans of the others name.

I sigh, mumbling self-deprecating words to myself as I pull out the thing I call my friend. I cut a few times before grabbing my pen. "Hello, consumer, I know you're there,"  I write.

"Stop," appears slowly on my skin in grey ink, neat cursive connecting the letters together.
I gasp quietly, my eyes were probably messing with me. I slide my glasses on to my face, everything turning clear, including the four letter word on my blood stained wrist.
