The Morticians Daughter

Chapter 24

*Raven's POV*

Right now, I was sitting in my bathroom with my sleeve rolled up and the blade in my hand. It's now been five weeks sense I've been locked in my room or have even eaten and I end up throwing almost every night because of it. They would leave food at my door but I wouldn't come out to get it. I spend most of my time in my bathroom, cutting. The only reason I've been cutting is because I've been having night terrors and I wake up in the middle of the night crying. Their mostly about the boy raping or strangers raping and beating me and I have these terrible ones about people I love beating me. A knock on the door distracted me from my thoughts and I came out of the bathroom and looked to the door.

"Raven?" It was Ashley. He's the one that came to the door most of all. I think he was the one that cared the most about getting me to come out of my room, which I appreciated.

"Mmh?" I said. That's all I ever said to anyone when they came to my door.

"When are you going to come out?" I shrugged even thought he couldn't see me. He sighed and I'm pretty sure he walked away but I was wrong because the next thing I knew he was standing in my room. My sleeve was rolled down but the blade was still in my hand.

"How'd you get in here?" I mumbled but he still heard me. I knew I could've ran to my bathroom but I stood still because it felt like I haven't seen him in forever.

"I found a key Raven." He said and held the key up, showing it to me. I nodded and I felt like I wanted to cry, he seemed so hurt. He looked at my face and then down at my hand gasping then looking back to me.

"Raven, please tell me you didn't." He said, running over to me and grabbing my hand, trying to grab the blade.

"No Ashley, I didn't." I lied. He hugged me and I hugged him back, slipping the blade in his back pocket.

"You're lying I can tell." He said and pulled away. I nodded and looked down feeling guilty.

"Let me see." He said and I sighed, rolling my sleeve up.

"Raven, you didn't even clean these." He said and lead me to the bathroom.

"Take your jacket off please." I took my jacket off and turned the water on, putting my arms under it getting my arms wet.

"I'm gonna go get a towel." he said setting the alcohol on the counter. I nodded and turned the water off as he came back with a white towel in his hand.

"Okay now this is going to burn." He grabbed the alcohol and poured it on my arms making me bite my lip in pain.

"Sorry."

"It's fine." I said. He poured it on one more time and then cleaned off the alcohol with water. He gestured for me to sit on the toilet seat lid, so I did and he grabbed my arms gently drying them off individually. Then he got the bandages wrapping them up and pinning them together

"Thank you Ashley." I said and jumped In his lap hugging him.

"No problem baby, I love taking care of you but I don't like when you do this to yourself so please stop." He said hugging me back and kissing my cheek.

"I'll try, but only for you." I said

"Thank you. But now, you need to eat something." He said pulling away and looking at me with a serious expression.

"Okay fine but I don't want a big meal." He nodded and I got off his lap as we both went downstairs.

"Where is everyone?" I asked, slipping my jacket back on.

"CC's still sleeping, Your dad is out with Stacy, and Jake went to the store."

"Okay well just so you know I don't want anyone else knowing about what I did." I didn't want anyone else knowing that I cut so they could confront me. Because I didn't like being in those situations.

"I know, I wasn't going to tell anyone else anyway."

"So what do you want to eat?"

"Just a salad but I can make it." I said. He nodded and went to the couch, laying down.

After I was done making and eating my salad, I sat in between Ashley's legs then laid on his chest.

"Are you still hungry? Do you want something else?" I shook my head, just as CC came downstairs, looking tired until he saw me and got excited.

"Raven?!"

"Yes it's me." I smiled, sitting up a little as he ran over to me, hugging me. Was I really in my room for that long? It broke my heart to know that these people actually cared about me that much. I guess I just never realized him much my uncles really love me. ----------------------------------------------
