Drown

I laid on the floor staring at the ceiling, the blood on my wrist and the blade across the room that I had thrown. I just cried feeling absolutely horrible, then I heard the front door and Oli had returned home but I didn't bother going downstairs to greet him. I just stayed in my room not bothering to treat my wrists, I just lay on the floor. "Hannah where's Chelsea?" I heard Oli ask, "probably in her room babe" Hannah answered and I quickly tried to move myself from the floor to the bed. I tried to hide my wrists too so he wouldn't see. Then the knock came on the door, "Chelsea May I come in?" He asked with a light knock.

"Come in" I said and he walked right in the room closing the door behind him, "you okay?" He asked and I nodded even though I wasn't. "Chelsea something is upsetting you" he said as he sat beside me on the bed, "nothing Oli" I said and he shook his head. "Not Nothing because you're upset and did something happen while I was out?" He asked and I shook my head just lying to him. "Chelsea you know you can tell me anything" he said and I nodded, "them tell me what's going on" he said and I shook my head in response. "Chelsea" he said and I was starting to get annoyed, "What Oli?" I answered raising my voice at him. "God stop being a fucking bitch and tell me what's up" he said raising his voice back at me, "fuck you Oli" I finally said back to him and got up and threw a pillow at me before leaving the room and slamming the door behind him.

Shit now he won't talk to me at all and I can't talk against Hannah because Oli won't listen to me. I collapsed face down onto the bed and sobbed into the pillow. I reached under the bed and took my bandages to wrap my arm, I got a roll out and wrapped it around my wrist. I laid down on my side and stared at the wall thinking about mum. I missed my mum so much and it killed me everyday that i didn't say goodbye and that she just left.

The next morning I woke up early and got ready for school, I didn't want to wake Oli and Hannah. God I wish Hannah would shut up last night because she was so loud. Makes me wanna vomit knowing what they were doing last night, I got changed into a long sleeve shirt and I put my You and Me at Six tee over the top. I put on my skinny jeans and my sneakers before tying my hair into a messy bun. I grabbed my bag off the floor beside the bed and made my way out, i looked at my phone and looked at the time to see it was 7am. I left the house and walked down the street to make my way to school. Another day of name calling, beatings, being told to die and having lunch money taken but i don't care.

---Time Skip/ at school---

Standing at my locker just staring at my books, "Look if it isn't the loser of the school" I heard Hayley's annoying voice call out. I didn't bother turning around to give her attention because why bother, "look at me when I'm talking to you slut!" she yelled as she grabbed my shoulder and pulled be towards her and I fell backwards. I landed on the ground and her group of friends were standing around laughing.

"Hey leave her alone!" someone called and I turned around and so did the girls seeing a boy. "Don't waste your time" Hayley's friend Ebony laughed, "Leave her alone" he repeated and took a step towards them. I watched them back away and eventually walk off then he turned to me, he held his hand out and I looked at him up and down. "Let me help" he said and I was still scared to take his hand. "I'm not gonna hurt you" he said and I nodded taking his hand, he helped me up and smiled kindly. "I'm Tristan, Tristan Franceschi" he said and my eyes widened, "You wouldn't happen to be related to Josh Franceschi?" I asked and he nodded. "He's my Dad" he said and my mouth dropped open slightly, "wow" was all i could say.

"What's your name?" he asked me in return, "Chelsea, Chelsea May" I answered. Tristan smiled and nodded, "shall we skip class and go to the local Art House Café" he offered and I agreed. I didn't want to waste another minute in this hell hole. "Yes please" he said and he just laughed, "off we go" he said before running and I was chasing after him until we left school grounds.
