Harmony opened the door to the girls bathroom and froze up when she saw Jaiana.
Harmony stared at Jaiana for a few long seconds. It took Jaiana a couple of seconds to realize Harmony was there.
Jaiana had big cuts on her arms. The blood was so bad it trickled down Jaiana's arm and onto the floor. Jaiana was sobbing and trembling. When she noticed Harmony she gasped and quickly wiped her face and hid her arms, dropping a razor she had on the ground.
"H-Hi, Harmony. Just... P-P-Putting on m-makeup!" Jaiana quickly said, putting a fake smile on her face.
Harmony stood there in disbelief. Her face was pale and her eyes were wide. She wanted to run away and throw up from what she saw, but she wanted to help.
Harmony did what was best.
She quickly went in a stall and threw up in a toilet before she threw up in front of Jaiana.
Jaiana picked up the razor, washed it with water, and quickly slashed it across her arm. She yelped from the pain and balled her fists, more tears going down her face.
"It's o-okay... It's okay... I-I deserve th-this.. One m-more," Jaiana lied to herself. She told herself that three cuts ago.
Jaiana thought she could hold this back. She stopped before because she started wearing shorter clothes. If she didn't stop, it would've shown she was cutting and that would've made her "weak". She brought the razor with her because she thought she wouldn't do it.
Jaiana went to make another cut when a red haired girl came in, texting on her phone. She stopped when she saw Jaiana.
"Ho-ly shit." Riley looked up and down at Jaiana. She took a couple of steps back, tapping on her phone and took a picture. Riley tapped on her phone a little more, smirking. She made an evil giggle.
"Sorry, Jaiana. You're a goner." Riley walked out. Harmony came out of the stall so she could talk to Jaiana. When she was about so speak, Jaiana's and Harmony's phones both dinged at the same time.
Jaiana and Harmony slowly took their phone out and checked the notification. Riley posted of Twitter.
Jaiana and Harmony clicked on it and Jaiana lost her breath. The picture of her with cuts all over her arms, blood all over with tears in her eyes was on the internet.
~~~~~~~~~
<3 Here's my basically part. BASICALLY, Harmony walked into Jaiana cutting, but then Riley did too and posted a picture on the internet. B a m.
~~~~~~~~~
They got another ding on their phones. Someone tagged Jaiana. They clicked on it and there was a video of her in the lunchroom from before.
Harmony looked at Jaiana, who was about to make a cut. Harmony grabbed her hand.
"Don't do it, Jaiana," She gulped, wondering how Jaiana would react. Jaiana blinked and stared at Harmony and looked down to see Harmony's soft pale hand touch hers. She took a deep breath and dropped the razor.
"A-Alright.... For you." Jaiana looked down, feeling disgusted with herself. She felt her body and face become more ugly. She started listing things in her head that she didn't like about herself. A sudden question stopped her from thinking.
"Why do you have bruitheth all over you?"
Jaiana stayed silent for a moment. "M..." Jaiana stopped herself. She was going to say "my mom" but could she trust Harmony?
The answer was yes.
"You can trutht me, Jaiana," Harmony said, rubbing her thumb on Jaiana's hand, like how Jaiana did before.
"Heh, you're not a therapist." Jaiana wanted to make a little joke to help lighten the mood. It worked because Harmony smiled and that was enough to make Jaiana a little happier.
"No. I'm not, but I could be," Harmony's voice sounded so gentle.
"I'm thinking something else," Jaiana's voice wasn't gentle compared to Harmony's. Her's cracked.
Harmony tilted her head. "What ith it?"
"Can we be friends?"
Harmony immediately nodded. "Yeah... Yeah, we can be betht friendth."
Jaiana sighed and looked at Harmony's silver eyes. They were more lit up from the last time she saw them.
Harmony looked right back at Jaiana's green-blue eyes. Her eyes seemed a little dull from crying so much and she looked tired.
"Th-The reason I have bruises is-"
Right then, the bell rang. Jaiana wanted to scream at the bell for ringing. Harmony let go of her hands.
Harmony looked at Jaiana. "After thchool?" Jaiana shook her head, not wanting to get in trouble by her mom again.
"I-I can't.... I'm sorry." Jaiana walked out of the bathroom. She wanted to stay with Harmony, but she couldn't. She had to go to her classes.
In the halls, she felt even more people staring at her. Either she had three heads or they saw the things online already, because the looks they were giving her were not good at all.
Instead of Jaiana being able to glide her way through the hall, she was being pushed, shoved around, "accidentally" hit, and trampled.
That day was not Jaiana's day. Except for gaining Harmony's friendship. That was the best thing that happened to Jaiana the whole day. She was so glad.
If she hadn't gotten Harmony's friendship that day, who knows what would've happened. Maybe no one would've seen her again.
At the end of the day, Jaiana was at her locker. She closed it and sighed. Suddenly, she felt arms wrap around her waist. The force was so strong and unexpected, her back slammed against the lockers.
Jaiana looked to see Harmony hugging her tightly and smiling. It was the best things she'd ever seen. She hesitantly wrapped her arms around Harmony, blushing. She closed her eyes and held Harmony tighter. The feeling was great. She felt free from the world. She felt like she could stay like that with Harmony forever. Her body felt warm against her own and safe. When Harmony pulled away they smiled at each other.
"Thee you tomorrow, Jaiana."
"See you tomorrow, Harmony." Jaiana watched Harmony leave the opposite direction of her house. She sighed and started walking home when someone pulled her into an alley way.
"Riley is a bitch." (We know.)
