“Kalliegh, what are you doing here again? I thought coach told you if you got in trouble one more time she was going to bench you?” Coach Ron asked while the whole class just stared us thanking me for taking the wrath off of them.
“Yeah I know. I messed up again. Could you talk to her for me? Please?” I begged coach knowing he couldn’t resist because my coach was his wife who coached the girls golf team and he coached the boys golf team.
“I suppose but this is the last time I am covering for you. Got it!” He said with a stern tone making me believe him.
“Yes sir.” I replied. Coach was the only one I said yes sir to. For some reason I had so much respect for him and hated it when I let him down. He was the closest thing I had to a father figure in my life.
~ 2 weeks later
The past two weeks had been a real blur. After what coach said to me, I decided to try and turn my life around because I hated disappointing him. I didn’t get in any trouble, I was on time, and did all of my homework. My grades started improving a little and my teachers were stunned at my change in behavior. I was feeling better about myself too. I started working out more than normal; I quit cutting, smoking and drinking. But all good things come to an end and this was how mine ended.

“Kalliegh baby I’m sorry. You know I didn’t mean to cheat on you. Baby you’re my life, my everything. I love you so much. Please don’t leave me. Why can’t you just forgive…” I cut her off before she could finish her sentence.
“Me forgive you? Why the hell would I ever forgive a cheating slut like you? If you truly loved me you wouldn’t have cheated on me one time much less two and with that whore! I can’t believe I took you back! We are done! Leave! NOW!” I screamed with such rage knowing as soon as she left that I would break down.
Nicole opened her mouth to reply but chose not to and just sulked out the front door, looking back to see if I had changed my mind but I hadn’t.
The door slammed and I ran to my bathroom and grabbed the only thing that could keep me sane. I opened the cupboard and there it was shining against the light. I grabbed it and held it above my wrist for a few seconds before slamming it down and slicing my arm ten times. I then took off my shorts and sliced my hips and thighs until all I could see was blood and there was no more room to cut.
I slid down the door and just sobbed and sobbed and sobbed until I the cuts quit bleeding. I cleaned up the floor and myself before getting up and calling the one person I knew who could help me.

“Thanks for coming I really needed this right now.” I told Brent. He always knew how to comfort me.
“No biggie. I knew you needed me by the sound of your voice. Here’s something extra, it’s cocaine and it will give you the best high you have ever felt.” Brent told me and I couldn’t help by stare at the memorizing white powder in the little clear baggie.
