I walk down stairs and see my mom.. but she wasnt
alone. She was with another guy. I stop half way
down the stairs. I look at the man. He was slightly
taller than my mom. He had blonde hair that was
jelled back. He had a tattoo on his arm, but I
couldn't tell what it was.

Priscilla: "Mother, who is this."

Mom: "This is Noah."
He gave me a warm smile and I just stared at him with no emotions.

Priscilla: "And what is he doing here.

Mom: "Sit down and let me explain.
I slowly walk down the stairs, still staring at "Noah".

Noah: "You know its rude to stare.
I quickly turn and make eye contact with my mom
as I sat down. I stare at her, waiting for her to
explain.

Mom: "This is... m-my boyfriend.."

I stare at her no emotions. I should of known. All
this bullshit going on, and she decides to do this.
She knows how much pain I have been in these last
weeks.

Mom: "I-
I cut her off.

Priscilla: "I don't wanna hear it mom. I tried of this
all of this. Does dad know?"

Mom: "Honey, I need to tell you something."
Everything she is going to say is a lie. Lie, lie, lie.
We've been divorced.

Mom: "Me and your father.
for a long time.
My heart literally dropped to the floor.

Priscilla: "Mom.. S-stop.
She continued not caring about what I just said.

Mom: "We just pretended to be married because we
didn't want to break your heart. We care about you
too much.

I look down at my wrists. Scars. I look at Noah. I
nod and slowly get up. I jump on my bed and
scream into my pillow. I cry and cry. I cried to the
point where I couldn't breath. I looker at my
phone. I got so many texts from Alex. I facetimed
him.

Alex: "Hey pris- oh my gosh what happened."
I sniffed.

Priscilla: "My life is a complete mess.
I look at my blade that was sitting on my dresser. I
felt the tears form in my eyes. I didn't even realizedd
Alex was calling my name.

Alex: "Priscilla? Are you okay.. Do you wanna talk
about it. I can help you I promise your not alone."
I look at him. He looked concerned.

Priscilla: "My father is in jail... My mom got a new
boyfriend. Her and my father divorced. I- I don't
know what to do anymore.

Alex: "I'm sorry. I promise you everything will be
okay. Don't give up. Why do you go for a walk and
get some fresh air, okay? I love you."
I nod my head.

Priscilla: "Love you too..
He hung up and I put on a sweatshirt and sweat
pants. I grab my blade and put it in my pocket.I
know I shouldn't do this, but.
I walk downstairs. I see my mom and her so-called
"boyfriend" making out on the couch. Gross.

Priscilla: "You're sick
I said still walking not making eye contact. I walk
out the door and drive to the park.
I sit on the bench and take a deep breath. I told the
blade out my pocket, and my sleeve up. I flinched
when the cold metal hit my skin. I cut through my
skin. Deeper than usual. I felt alive. I felt my pain
float away. Blood everywhere but I didn't care. I
stop and look at my wrist. The blood still flowing
out of my arm. I didn't mind. I rolled my sleeve
back up and closed my eyes. I took and deep breath
as I laid back into the bench, and let the blood flow
down my air.

Carlos POV:
I missed Priscilla. I felt dead after she broke up
with me. I walked to the park and saw her. Great. I
bet I'm the last person she wants to see. She had
her eyes closed, I look at her arm and saw red.. wait
is that blood?! Oh my gosh. Is she dead?!!

Carlos: Priscilla?
She open her eyes and I sighed in relief. She got up
and started to walk away.

Carlos: "Priscilla wait."
She kept walking. I jogged to her and grabbed her
wrist. She flinched. I touch her wrist again. She
flinched.

Priscilla: "Please stop.
She looked at me. She was crying. Even though she
hates my guts, and she kicked me, I still care about
her. I wipe her tears.

Priscilla: "W-what do you want.

Carlos: "Can you please talk to me"

Priscilla: "Do you really think I want to talk to you
after what you did?"
She scoffed.

Carlos: "I'm so so sorry. I don't know what I was
doing".

Priscilla: "You knew damn well what you were
doing. You didn't make a mistake. You choose to
cheat. You chose to fuck with my emotions instead
of just loving me. There is no reason to apologize
be because I'm not accepting it."

Blood dripped from her sweatshirt. She looked at
the ground then me.
I stood there shook.

Priscilla: "Carlos, its not what you think.

Carlos:"This all my fault. Oh my gosh. Am I the
reason your cutting.

Priscilla: "N-no."

Carlos: "Don't fucking lie to me. Pull up your
sleeve.

Priscilla: "Please don't make me do this."

Priscilla: "Please don't make me do this.

Carlos: "I don't care. You're fucking cutting
yourself. Even if you hate my guts, and you're dying
to stop talking to me, I still care about you. Now,
pull up your sleeve.
She put her hand on my chest which made me calm
down a bit.

Priscilla: "I care about you, too. But I'm not pulling
up my sleeve. I just want to tell you it's not your
fault, life is just hard right now. Okay?"
I nod.
———————————————————————————
Priscilla POV:
I lied. It is his fault. I don't want to tell him because
then he won't leave me alone. I hate his fucking
guts, and I really don't want to talk to him right
now.

Priscilla: "I came here for some fresh air. But since
your standing in front of me, I'm only breathing in
toxic air. Now if you'll excuse me, I had to go. Bye
Carlos."
I took my hand off his chest and started to walk
away.

I walked inside my house, and put my keys on the
counter. I ran upstairs and closed my door. I
immediately facetimed Alex.

Priscilla: "Hey Alex

Alex: "Better?"

Priscilla: "No, I ran into Carl- What was that?

Alex: "What?"

Priscilla: "Oh gosh. Oh my fucking gosh.
I heard moaning,

Priscilla: "I'll be right back, Alex."
I walked out my room and slowly walked towards
my moms room.
I opened the door. Holy shit. That was a terrible
idea. I am horrified by what I am seeing. I quickly
walk to my room and shut the door. My breathing
went unsteady. I stand there with my back against
the wall.

Priscilla: "Maybe it's best if i stay in my room for
the rest of the day." I told Alex

I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a long day.
