The Story of You

Chapter 3 Chloe's POV

I sat down in the back of the room, where I normally sat. Josh walked in holding Nia's waist. He glanced quickly at me before making out with her. I gasped. I picked up my bag and ran out of the room, accidentally bumping into him on my way. I ran into the girls bathroom, which was empty because class was about to start. I dug through my purse and then I did it. I cut again. I broke into tears. "Why?" I cried out, "Why?!?" Someone barged into the bathroom. Josh.

J- no... Chlo...

He came over and took the blade out of my hand. He put a wet paper towel on my wrist. He hugged me while I cried into his shirt.

J- this is my fault.

He kissed the top of my head as I continued crying.

J- three months clean today, Chlo.

C- how did you know that? How did you know I cut?

J- it's the look you had on your face. It's the same way I looked after I did it.

I looked up at him.

C- what?

He pushed up the sleeve of his letterman, revealing scars on his wrist. I took his arm in both my hands, kissed two of my fingers, and then pressed them on his wrist. He cleaned my wrist and put a band aid on it.

J- never again?

C- you know I can't promise that.

I turned my face to the ground, not wanting to see the anger and disappointment in his face. He let out a deep sigh.

J- chloe... What the hell am I going to do with you?

He was trying to be comedic, but I could hear the anger in his voice. It pissed me off that he was faking. I ripped my bag from the counter and started out.

J- what the hel-

C- give me a call when you can stop faking.

As I stormed down the hallway, the most annoying freshman, Josh's little sister, paige Hyland caught up with me.

P- I see we're cutting two things again, lukasiak. Wrist and classes.

C- fuck off, paige.

P- oOo attitude. I just wanted to know why you're mad at my brother, abused girl.

I stopped and turned around.

C- I want to know who told you and I want to know now. And I swear to god if this shows up on your stupid blog I will-

J- paige get away from her.

Paige rolled her eyes and strutted away.

J- what did she say to you?

C- nothing...

I turned on my heel and started walking. Josh grabbed my wrist and I nearly screamed.

C- what the hell?!? Do you have something wrong in your head?!?
