Wake Up, You're Different

Chapter 12

My alarm went off and I rolled over. I was still sick and didn't want to go to school.
"Syd can you tell them I'm sick?"
She felt my forehead and moved her hand quickly, I was burning up.
"Yeah, feel better P."
She kissed my hot forehead and she left. I knew when to text her by this point and I fell back to sleep. I woke up with a text from an unknown number.
Unknown: Hello you don't know me but he wants you back. I suggest you take him back or bad things will happen.

I stared at my phone for a while. I sent a screenshot to Syd and just sat there. I seriously didn't know what to do. Then I got a text from Syd.

Syd: Bad things won't happen because we are stronger than that. He can't break us up either because I love you.
Me: Okay just keep and eye out. I love you.
Syd: Love you too

I put my phone down and fell back asleep. I couldn't stop thinking about the bad things he could do. I hoped he wouldn't hurt her. She came home and kissed me. I was feeling worse but I needed to go to school tomorrow to protect her. I lied and told her I was fine. After I threw up, she knew I was lying and forced me to stay home again.
"SYYYYD PLEASSSSSSSE I NEED TO BE THERE WITH YOU."
"You're sick, stay home. I'll text you if anything happens."
"Maybe I'll feel better in the morning."
"I don't think you will."
"Ughhhh fine."
I laid in bed for a while until I was forced to move.
"Are you hungry?"
"Yeah I haven't eaten since last night."
"Paisley, I can't do EVERYTHING for you."
I gave her my puppy eyes, she can't resist them.
"Fine but only tonight."
"I LOVE YOUUUUUUU."
"Love you too."
After we ate, she did her homework. I knew something was off. Our phones kept blowing up. There were pictures of her with a guy, Luca. I ran upstairs and shut the door. I heard her running after me and she was saying something I couldn't understand. I locked the door and hid in the bathroom. My urge came back, I tried to fight it but I couldn't. The next thing I knew, my wrists were covered in blood. I started crying harder than before. Not crying. Bawling my eyes out. Syd kept knocking on the door and kept asking to talk. She finally picked the lock and let herself in. She saw the blood and started crying too.
"That was a picture from years ago. I would never do that to you. I promise you that I love you and I don't want you to do this anymore"
She was gesturing at my wrists. I wiped my tears and looked at her.
"You can't cut up your wrist every time something upsets you or every time we fight. You need to suck it up and be an adult. You said you wanted to get better but I don't think you do." She walked out of the bathroom and left the door open. I started crying again. She was crying too. The thought of the other one upset made us cry even more. I cleaned off the blood and went to bed. She didn't leave but she wouldn't talk to me. I tried to kiss her and she moved away. Is this how it ends? Will he actually break us up? I was laying next to her thinking all these thoughts. My head was swirling and I didn't know what to do. Normally she tells me that she loves me but she won't do that. I tried to resit the urge again but it is getting stronger.
