A Pals Bully Story (Completed 2018)

5. The Truth

Hello E again! My tablet has been bouncing to and from my hands to my mom and dads hands so I'm going to try and finish up this book so that you won't wait to long for a knew chapter.

Alex POV

I can feel someone following me as I walk into my aunt and uncles house. Once again they weren't home. But they always did come home no matter how hard I hoped. I walk to my room and lay down. Why couldn't my life change?

I walk to the bathroom and grab the thick wad of bandage wrap and unravel my arm to see the blood all over my arm. Dark red and light brown. It was time for the worst part. I closed my eyes, turned the water on, and stuck my arm under. It burned like fire eating flesh and clawed at it like a viscous cat playing with a dead mouse. Although most of the pain was gone I kept my eyes closed. But I had to open them and turn the water of. I can see the blood already trying to escape. The deepest cuts bled the worst of them all with very dark red crawling down my arm. I check to so that nobody is watching and stabbed the school scissors into my other arm.

"Alex!!" I hear Denis say. I turn around and conceal both arms and the knife from behind my back but it's like he already knows. "Why did you that!?" I can see the despair in his eyes.

"Because Denis, ever since my parents moved away I've had to live here with my aunt and uncle. And then the world started to crumble for me. And soon school is going to become my worst enemy because I messed up Denis. I'm not the cool, amazing, smart kid everyone thinks I am. I'm not the happiest kid in the world Denis. Instead I'm a mess, the worst mess I could be. And now your probably going to tell everyone and destroy my life even more then it already is. The only thing that makes me happy anymore is helping others with small things and cutting. I've been cutting since I got here Denis. Why am I even here anymore? Nobody cares about me, nobody wants me, and nobody would want to have a cutter living with them." I finish as tears start streaming down my face again.

"Alex I-" Denis starts but I cut him off. "If you hate me do it Denis." I hand him the scissors. "No Alex I need to show you something." I watch as he undoes his sleeve and points towards the marks in his arms. "I used to do it to Alex but I realized that it wasn't worth it. Please let me help you."

I look at him and stop crying. "Fine." I say. If there was anything in this world that could stop me from doing it,aye this was it. Maybe I could be normal and live better. Denis starts to grab my stuff. "What are you doing!?" I almost yell. "Moving you out of here." I feel a smile form on my face. But then a thought struck me and made me frown. "Where will I stay?" I ask. Denis looks into my eyes. "With me."

He finishes grabbing my things and start to walk out. I was finally leaving this place. Finally leaving the place I was left long before. I follow Denis out and we start walking. My arms are still bleeding but at least I'm out of that place.

Soon we get to a big house. This can't be Denis's house, it just can't. But he doesn't even pause at the door but in stead just walks in. I walk in behind him and see that it looks a little smaller on the inside but still it was bigger than my aunt and uncles.

Denis walks down some stairs and puts my stuff in a nice room. It was bigger than the kitchen and bathroom in that place combined. This was my place now. My place to call home. I finally had a family.  A family that loved me. A family that would never leave me behind.

Thank you for reading! Bye!
