Liv: is everything okay??? You haven't texted back in a while and Tyler and Jenna wouldnt tell me where you were.

I quickly shoot up from my bed as I get the message.

Crystal: yeah, everything's fine now. Stuff happened I wish I could take back and what not. I'm okay now.

Liv: okay, do you want to talk about it? I'm free all today and tomorrow?

I scan through my planner in my room to see what's going on today.

Doctors appointment @ 12:15

Crystal: today I don't think will work. I have a doctors appointment but I think tomorrow will be okay. You can come over if you want.

Liv: okay sounds good!

I shut my phone off and head downstairs. I see Tyler and Jenna looking at coupons for some reason. As I make it to the bottom step the both look at me in unison.

"So, can liv come over tomorrow?"

Jenna's the one to speak, "I don't see why she can't, Tyler what do you think" she turns to Tyler waiting for a response.

"Yeah she can, also I'm taking you to your appointment so you better get ready soon so we aren't late."

I nod and run to my room to get ready.

Even though it's only been a week, it feels much longer. Thoughts occasionally flooding back to my still weakend mind. I just want these fucking bandages off my arms.

Until I remember why they are on there in the first place.

"SHIT" I say throwing my phone across the room.

Tyler runs into my room right after I say that, "Watch what you say crystal!! What were you screaming about"

"I don't want to get these stupid ass stitches out!!! It will hurt"

Then why didn't i think it hurt when I caused the marks on my body in the first place?

"You will be fine trust me. Let's go"

I grab my phone off the floor and head down to the front door.

———-

"Okay this won't hurt that much crystal, just take deep breaths."

I close my eyes as the doctor removes the dressing and starts to take out the stitches.

They did hurt but not as bad as I thought. I looked down at my arms to see the damage I've done from a few weeks ago.

It isn't a pretty site, but what was I expecting?

"Now most of the scars won't be raised, but a few will, to help the heeling make sure you get a scar cream and put it on daily. They have some at CVS so maybe just go there right after."

I nod and Tyler continues to hear the doctor talk about everything and crap, but I'm not listening what so ever. I can't stop staring at my damaged arms and getting flashbacks to that day.

I can't take it back now though.

Roughly 10 minutes later we head out of the office.

"Can we go to CVS?"

"Yeah we can" Tyler says driving off to the store.

We pick up the scar cream along with a few other things, then head back home.

The rest of the night isn't eventful at all. We had dinner then just watched a movie. I head to bed around midnight freaking out about how to tell Liv about this mess.

About my mess.

————

I'm awaken by the sound of Jenna vacuuming the downstairs. I get up and start to get ready for today.

My outfit it fairly boring, some black shorts and a red sweatshirt.

Yes a sweatshirt, it's fucking June and I don't want to scare Liv off the bat so I'm gonna wait alittle to show her...if I have the guts.

She arrives around noon and freaks out as soon as she lays eyes on me.

"I MISSED YOU SO MUCH I WAS WORRIED O MY IM GONNA CRY"

"Woah calm down" I laugh, giving her a hug. We head to my basement and play Mario kart.

"Did Tyler get you addicted to this game?"

"Yeah, it's all he plays and I want to try to beat him one time, practice makes perfect"

We play a few rounds before giving up.

"So crystal, what happened exactly?"

My heart sank

Fuck shit fuck hell whyyyyy

"What do you mean?"

"Well what happened for you to literally disappear from the world for like 2 weeks?"

"Oh that well um it's kinda hard for me to really talk about."

"I'm listening, I promise I won't judge"

I take a deep breath before starting, "long story short I was an idiot and did something horrible that caused Blurryface to interfere with Tyler's life again and we got into a really bad argument and I..."

"What??"

I shook my head and didn't want to talk, I just rolled up my sleeves for her to see what happened. I look at her face to see sadness over come it. She grabs my hand to examine the scars closer.

"Crystal I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you"

I roll my sleeves back down, "don't apologize, you didn't cause this at all. I hid in the woods to do this and basically passed out and almost died from blood loss. I was in the hospital for like 2 weeks"

"That's awful I'm so sorry"

She gives me a big hug and I start to cry.

People actually do care about me,
I may not be so alone after all
