My hands shook as I put down the blade. I cleaned up the blood and then put it back in its hiding place in my bathroom cupboard. I cleaned up my new marks and then bandaged them, so much for trying to stay away hurting myself.
I piled my bracelets back on and exited the bathroom to my bedroom. It aaas around nine at night by now, and my brother and sister had just gone to bed. I could hear my dad watching TV in the family room.
I shut my door behind me and popped openly laptop, then went to my FaceBook page. Like usual, it was uneventful and plain. Except for a new friend request, from Elle.
Of course, I accepted it. And soon after I did, a chat came through:
ellenoelle: hey, i found you!
I smiled to myself and replied.
smashton: yeah, hey! sorry i was so awkward today at macca’s.
ellenoelle: oh, it’s ok silly! i’m glad that you came over!
smashton: so, what other bands are you into?
ellenoelle: panic! at the disco, all time low (as you already know), my chemical romance, imagine dragons, blink 182, green day, and mayday parade.
smashton: wow, all good choices! do you listen to we the kings or go radio?
ellenoelle: yes, i listen to both as well c:
smashton: who knew we could ever have so much in common? lol
ellenoelle: ikr! btw thanks for giving me an excuse to friend me on here, i’ve wanted to for awhile, but i didn’t wanna look weird
smashton: you would never look weird
ellenoelle: (dies of embarrassment) sure cx
This was so remarkable in my eyes, that someone like her would ever seven think of talking to me. I was just Ashton Irwin, the secretly depressed guy who did absolutely nothing with his life… Except for fight crime with his three best friends, but no one knew about that either.
ellenoelle: ok, i have a good idea.
smashton: which is?
ellenoelle: let’s play what i call the favorites game, it’s how new people get to know each other. here, i’ll go first; what’s your favorite color
smashton: blue
ellenoelle: such a typical boy answer, haha i like green
smashton: favorite movie?
ellenoelle: triple dog, it’s an indie film
smashton: the pursuit of happyness, it has will smith in it.
ellenoelle: interesting, and weird spelling for that. any hidden talents?
Well, I’m kind of a superhero.
smashton: nope.
ellenoelle:not even one?
Well, nothing except that I fight crime with my superhero friends.
smashton: not. even. one.
ellenoelle: well, i’m sure that you have something. i am determined to find out what it is!
smashton: well, do you have one?
ellenoelle: don’t tell anyone, because to even the girls know, but i cook. i wanna own a bakery some day.
smashton: someday, i’d like to drum in a rock band.
ellenoelle: so you play music? there’s a talent right there!
smashton: more like i wish i still did. my dad sold my drums three years ago because i didn’t have anywhere to play them except for the house.
ellenoelle: wow, ouch.
smashton: yeah, i know.
ellenoelle: that doesn’t mean you can’t go to lessons somewhere though, right?
smashton: i wouldn’t have any way to pay for it. my family isn’t exactly rich like everyone else’s.
ellenoelle: well, my family has some money, i could help you pay for it.
smashton: no, it’s fine
ellenoelle: no, it’s not fine. i want to help you follow your dreams, ash!
smashton: i can fund my dreams later on my own, i promise. c;
ellenoelle: ok… but if you ever change your mind…
smashton: i won’t, it’s alright.
ellenoelle: i’m tired, see you tomorrow.
smashton: ok, goodnight c:
ellenoelle: ganite c:
