Take My Hand

8: Spiral

A/N: This time, I'll be touching on Sayori's past, with her depression and all that.

Sayori was a five-year-old who already didn't feel as jubilant and excited as her peers did. She smiled and laughed along, but she never truly felt happy.

One day in kindergarten, one of Sayori's classmates saw her crying, and went over to comfort her.

"Why are you sad, Sayori?" The young girl had asked.

Sayori bitterly chuckled. "Why am I here...?" She asked, tears falling from her face. "Nothing makes me happy."

Horrified, the girl quickly ran off, leaving Sayori alone, much to her dismay.

---------

Sayori was a thirteen-year-old now, a young teen who was self-diagnosed with depression. Sadly, her parents didn't believe her, leaving the young teen to seek help some other way.

And that way was by cutting herself.

Sayori had a small razor blade she kept hidden from her parents, and she made sure to keep it sharp so that she could inflict that pain on herself properly.

Making sharp cuts in her arm, Sayori chuckled quietly, loving that familiar feeling of the blade cutting her arm open. She grinned evilly as blood glistened from the incisions.

"Much better."

Sayori bandaged the cuts quickly before her parents saw them, as being scolded for being clumsy was better than being yelled at for cutting herself.

She wished she would just die already.

------

Sayori was a seventeen-year-old now. She was in her second year of high school, and it was the day of the Literature Festival at school. She was hurt too badly to go, however, and proceeded to finally end herself.

Sayori was already prepared, she finished tying up the noose and her suicide note was already written. She was about to tighten the noose around her neck when there was a knock at her front door.

"Nonononono.." She muttered as the knocks persisted.

There were suddenly footsteps booking upstairs to her bedroom and she panicked.

She was slightly relieved when Yuri stood in the doorway.

Slightly being the key word.

A/N: Shorter than the other chapter lol. I still hope you enjoyed it regardless! ^•^
