|| As seen in the title of this chapter, it does have to do with self-mutilation. And while the writing doesn't describe it in a graphic way, I do recommend you either read with caution or you skip this one if this is something that may trigger you. ||

It began with him picking at his skin, peeling it away. Nothing harmful, just mostly peeling the skin around his fingers.

And while it was nothing harmless, at first, he continued to peel his skin until it bled. It wasn't severe, as he could simply run it under water and the blood would stop welling up.

And yet, his habits began to worsen and turn into something worse. Instead of peeling off skin, he began to pinch his skin. Roughly. He made sure to dig his nails into the skin when pinching, drawing out a tiny bit of blood. Sometimes, it wouldn't cause him to bleed but it would leave a disgusting looking bruise.

Things only seemed to worsen as he began to scratch at his skin, small droplets of blood welling up on some of the scratches. It felt like something he needed to do. Scratch and soon enough peel a bit more skin off. And blood would appear each time, more and more.

And he didn't quite always understand why he did it.

It was like an addiction and he couldn't stop.

He needed to hurt himself more. And that's when he began to use a razor blade to cut into his flesh, not caring that it was hurting him. Not caring that he was causing himself to bleed more and more each time.

It only continued to worsen.

For Chase, it became an addiction to cut his skin and watch it bleed.

And it did hurt but he couldn't stop.

He wouldn't stop.
