❯Autumn❮

I arrive home, unlock the door and sprint upstairs.

I lock myself in my bathroom, grab my blade, and take off my shorts.

I sit in my bathtub quietly singing "See no scars, but it's all lies. They only check wrists, not your thighs" while I drag the blade across my skin.

"Autumn you home?" Shit, they're home. They have no clue I do this.

I quickly turn on the water to drain all the blood. I wrap a black towel around the cuts praying the bleeding will stop.

"Yeah! Just taking a bath, I'll be down in a sec."

The bleeding stopped and I put on sweatpants. I wash my face so I wouldn't look as disgusting.

I walk down to the kitchen, both my Mom and Dad are waiting for me.

"Uhm whats going on?" I ask. "I don't know, you tell us why we got a phone call from the school saying our daughter ran away!" My mom says, almost in tears.

"Okay I can explain!" I say.

"Just save it for later." My dad says

"Your not even gonna listen to what I have to say!?" I yell.

"No, not tonight, now go to your room, and dinner will be ready soon"

"My life is a living hell!" I scream while running upstairs.

I slam my door, falling onto my bed crying.

They don't understand.

They don't get it.

I find my self going back to my bathroom, grabbing my blade, taking off my sweatpants,

sitting in my bathtub, I drag the blade across my skin. With every swipe I apply more pressure, And with every swipe my vision becomes more blurry and before I know it the darkness is surrounding me.
