Just A Metaphor (ON HOLD)

Chapter 6: Mistakes & Breaks

Lia's P.O.V:
The first instinct I had was to run to the bathroom, on the second floor of our school. I ran as fast as I could, barely able to breathe by the pace I was running at. I hit the stairs and run even faster up. I'm almost there, I feel like something bad has happened.

I'm in front of the bathroom door. I'm not moving an inch, I just stand there waiting as if something is going to pop up, but nothing did. So I slowly open the door, inch by inch, I cannot believe what I am seeing.

It's Junie. She turned on the sink to prevent people from hearing her scream, so it's filled with blood. A knife is in her hand held tightly, she's cutting her wrist. I don't even know why she would do this. I stand there watching with my face and body paralyzed.

"JUNIE STOP!" I yell at the top of my lungs. "Why the hell are you in here! Get out!" She screams in pain. Junie cries even louder causing me to be even more worried about her. This child needs some serious help. So I grab her hand and pull the knife away from her.

"Give me the knife back! I don't want to be here and I surely don't want to hurt you or anyone else!" She yells. Few seconds after I took the knife away from her, she suddenly dropped herself onto the floor helplessly.

"Junie, tell me what's wrong? I'm really worried about you." I say while awkwardly hugging her. "I ju-just can't do this anymore. My life is just to-too much for me and it's too hard to handle." She says as she is sobbing horribly. "What happened?" I asked.

"My parents kicked me out of the house and I have no where to go. My own family hates me and so does my friends. I've been through so much and I've been through things to the point I tried hard enough, where I can't try anymore." She says while wiping away her ugly tears.

"I'm sorry, is there anything I could do for you?" I ask. "Is it okay if I could stay at your place for a few days, I promise I won't cause any huge commotions." She begs. "I'm not sure, but I'll try everything I can to let you stay at my place. I'll tell my mother and I'm sure she'll be fine with it. Are you okay?" I say while pulling her up to her feet with me.

"Yeah, it just hurts." She says as she shows me her wrist. "Let's get you fixed up." I say. While trying to clean up Junie and the bathroom floor, I suddenly received a text. It reads, "Your pace was a bullet, but not enough for the moment." I'm freaked out, I don't know who or what is watching me.

Whoever it is, knows every step I'm doing and I will get to the bottom of it. Junie comes over my shoulder and reads the text. "Who sent that metaphor?" She asks. "Wow, I didn't even notice it was a metaphor. Recently I've been getting random text messages from this blocked number, everyday." I say

"Um I gotta go, I'm gonna go see the nurse." She says as she walks faster out of the bathroom. Well that was weird. Maybe she has something to do with it.

After a few minutes of standing there cluelessly, I decide to go back to my locker. I pick up the note that I had dropped. Maybe I should throw it away? Maybe not, it could be another help to the next group meeting.
I look at the time and I am very late for class! I run to class after I slammed my locker door.

I arrive at the door and I peek through the window to see the lights turned off. I think they're watching a movie! So I open the door slowly and close it behind me, while walking to my seat.

Ed is just there with his head down, not even paying attention to the movie. "Hey, you alright?" I ask while settling down. "Yea I'm cool, just really tired." He says as he puts his head back down.

I don't usually see Ed like this and it's worrying me to death because I care a lot for him! But I decide to just let him be to give him space. Speaking of space, we're watching a movie about space and it's weird. It's a lot of romance in it but barely anything about space, which makes it even!
