Phil's POV

I yelled, knocking on the door, slamming my fists and rattling the handle.

I could hear each cut he made.

Each sound was like a bullet to my heart.

Quick, crisp slices.

Metal on skin.

Like tearing paper.

Only messier.

He didn't even gasp when a new cut was made.

I didn't mean for this.

He'd done so well, I couldn't bear it if he slipped back down again.

Was it really him at this stage? Or had someone else taken over?

I needed to get to him.

Then I remembered the spare key.

I stumbled around searching, before finding it in a drawer somewhere.

When I finally got the door open, I grabbed the blade out of his hands, to his protests.

I pulled him towards the sink, shoving his arm under the water, kissing his forehead.

His arm was covered in cuts again.

Because of me.

"Dan you were clean." I told him, surprised at how much my voice shook with emotion. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again if it means you get hurt."

Dan didn't say anything, just writhed beneath me, shaking and crying.
