Demi's POV

I sobbed onto Selena's shirt, desperately shaking. Hearing the line go straight to voicemail once again, making me whimper. Selena had me on her lap, holding a towel onto my bleeding stomach, trying to stop the bleeding as we waited for the ambulance. I redialed the number for the eleventh time, hearing a long pause before hitting voicemail.

My crying turned into hysterics as Selena rubbed my arms. "Dem.... Shh... it's okay." She whispered, taking away the phone from my hands. She kept holding onto my stomach with the towel, stopping the dark crimson liquid. Though, I wanted to bleed out. I wanted to die. There was no sense of happiness in life without Elizabeth. The past four hours have been nothing but pure torcher.

' Everything crashed and burnt right when Elizabeth had shut the door behind her, when she left me. I had collapsed onto the floor sobbing uncontrollably in a heap of tear. I had felt as though a hole was punched into my chest and everything bright and good was sucked out of me. I felt as though living wasn't really worth it without her, so why wait. I had a nervous breakdown where I went ballistic. I began punching the walls, kicking the furniture, breaking everything in sight.

I ended up breaking everything in my apartment; including punching each and every mirror there was. I had taken a sharp blade and ran into the bathroom. I had lifted my shirt up and pressed the cold sharp metal on my stomach. Wincing immediately from the pain, I slashed my stomach deeply. Crimson blood rushed out quickly as I stared down at my stomach. That's when it all sank in. I wanted to die. I wanted the blood drained out of me. Nothing was worth it if it meant living a life without my happiness.

Now here I was, Selena had showed up in time. I was dragged into an ambulance where they stopped the bleeding and took me to the hospital where I got my stomach stitched. It was actually around my right waist, just inches beneath my bellybutton. I had about six stitches that held the wound together.

Though it wasn't over yet; I had to report how I got injured. Though, I wasn't that stupid to tell them the truth. I had an idea under my sleeve. "I was jogging around, doing my normal routine when I fell and cut myself with shards of glass on the floor. I had walked back home and tried to stop the bleeding. Selena happened to show up at my house and she helped me and called for an ambulance." I lied to the doctor.

He had released me and Selena had driven me home. "What the hell were you thinking?" Selena asked as we arrived to her apartment. I stayed in silence, looking down at my shoes. "Demi, answer me... I get a call from Elizabeth, saying that she broke up with you and that she needed me to make sure you were alright... what happened?" Selena asked sitting beside me, looking me with worry yet with sympathetic eyes. I opened my mouth slightly to say something but nothing came out. I was speechless that Elizabeth had called Selena to look after me.

My eyes started to sting as a river of tears built up. I forced myself to hold them back, but as soon as I thought of Elizabeth. "Dem... Are you going to tell me how you really got that cut?" Selena asked taking my hand and began to stroke it with her thumb. "I... I-Uhm..." I stuttered unsure of what to say. "I know you cut Dems..." She whispered to me. I looked at her with surprise, worry yet disappointment.

I started to cry harder than ever before. "Hey... it's okay... we'll get you through this..." Selena whispered pulling me onto her lap. I just nodded m head crying in hysterics.

No one would ever understand the loneliness I was feeling. Nobody can comprehend the immense pain I was dealing with. From being abused to having suicide thoughts to losing my best friend as he committed suicide to cutting, purging and starving myself on a daily basis. I was convinced I couldn't be fixed. I was just a mistake in this world. Nothing but a waste of space, a disappointment...
