Delilah.

Chapter 8

I scream and collapse on the ground. Ash looks up and sees me and I see that her face is streaked with tears.

"Ash," I mutter and then started to cry. "Why?" I scoot over to her and take the razor out of her hand. I stand up and throw the razor in the sink then grab the first-aid kit that's under the sink. I sit her up against the bathtub and turn on the water. She moans, but doesn't say anything. I pick her up and put her in the tub. She sighs when the hot water touches her. The blood comes right off and turns the water red. While she's in the bath I clean the blood on the bathroom floor with some paper towels. I clean the floor best I can and go back to Ash. I drain the bathtub and the blood goes down the drain. I look and see that she cut her wrists, stomach and thighs. The water had washed away the blood that had been on her, but once the water was gone you could see that everything was still bleeding just not as much. I applied pressure to her wrists to stop the bleeding.

"This is going to sting," I say wiping an antibacterial wipe on the cuts. Then I do the same to her stomach and thighs. I pick her up and carry her over to her bed and lay her down while I work on cleaning the bathroom.

"Delilah," Ash asks from her bed and I run over.

"What is it," I ask her.

"Did you do this?" I nod and she looks away. "Why?"

"Because you were bleeding, and you're my sister," I say sitting down on the bed beside her. She rolls over and reaches up to hug me.

"Thank you," She cries into my shoulder. She squeezes me tight and then lets go. "People.. people got worse today, they knew that I went to see Sierra and Mia and they, they called me as slut and, oh Delilah it was horrible!" She puts her face in her hands and cries. I leave after she falls asleep and go to text Ella.

'Ella?'

'What is it this time?'

'Ash was cutting today :'('

'What!?!?'

'I found her in her bathroom afterschool this afternoon in covered in blood'

'I'm coming over, be there in 10 minutes'
