The story of my life

Chapter Five

Elisa

What's going on with me? I suddenly feel like a complete jerk for lying to Joseph and so foolish for cutting over Dion when I know for fact that he doesn't care about me. I could do anything for him but if I died tomorrow or ended up in the hospital for doing all this cutting shit he wouldn't even care to ask about where I am, how I might be feeling or if I was even alive. I guess that's what hurts the most!

I started walking slowly towards our bench, lost in thoughts as I stared at the ground. Suddenly, I felt two strong arms wrap delicately around my waist, spinning me around. It was Joseph. I knew it was him. The touch of his smooth skin and his husky scent of his aftershave was so familiar that even if he was a kilometer away and i breathed in his scent, I would know that it was him.

"Hey" he whispered into my ear, pulling me into a hug.

"Hi, I wanted to apologize for not telling your about the cutting."

"Lizzy. It was a mistake and we all make a lot of those and do stupid things in life. We just have to be strong enough to move on and accept the help and comfort friends are here to provide for us." He said, sounding all intelligent.

"So does this mean I'm forgiven?" I asked.

"Yes you are! Now let's fine something to do before I die of boredom" Joseph said, grabbing my wrist, dragging me of the bench.
