[PART SIX]; Raspberry Pie'd Bitch!

Eventually, winter came and went and it was spring time. The weather was hot and my fuse was growing shorter everyday. I was like a fucking grenade and if the smallest thing happened to piss me off I'd blow. Abbey and I were still spending time together, she introduced me to her family and everything seemed to become good between us again. The school term was coming towards an end and my birthday was fast approaching.

It was a warm Friday afternoon, I was going to Abbey's house that night as it was the first day of the holidays. We walked back to her house after school and began to plan out what we were going to wear on the event we planned on attending that weekend. Soon, my parents arrived at the house and we had a birthday celebration since the next day was my birthday. Eventually, the night came to an end and my parents headed home and Abbey and I headed downstairs to go to bed

"Enjoy the birthday sex, Eva!" Abbeys brother, Jett teased. He'd always make sly comments like that when I was with Abbey and it always made me uncomfortable. Although she didn't ever seem bothered by it. Abbey's room was a mess, but something about that mess made me feel closer to her. I was exhausted and I was honestly ready to go to bed for the night so I got changed and walked over to her bed and crawled over to my side of the bed. I pressed my back up against the wall and watched her tip-toe around her room looking for something. I could barely keep my eyes open and my head was throbbing so much I felt as though I was going to slip into a coma from the pain.

After awhile, Abbey crawled into bed next to me and I leaned over to hug her. Everytime I slept at her house she refused to sleep unless she was either resting on my chest or in my arms but on this particular night it seemed she'd had enough of me. She pushed me off her and told me she didn't want to talk to me. After a few hours we fell asleep.

The next morning, I awoke to find Abbey standing over me and looking down at my body with her arms crossed and a bitter smile on her face.

"Hurry up, we need to go," she said bluntly. That morning I'd promised her I'd go with her to find some clothes for us to wear to the event that weekend and she wanted to go much earlier than originally anticipated. She dragged me out of bed and I got dressed and we began the hour long walk to the shopping mall. Neither of us had a car let alone a license so we had to walk in the blazing Queensland heat down the long and grueling highway towards the shopping centre. As we were walking I began to take off my jacket that I wore to hide my self harm scars around her family as my suicidal tendencies were something she seemed to be frequently embarrassed by for whatever reason.

"What do you think you're doing?!" She gasped at the sight of me taking off my jacket.

"It's really hot and I'm sweating..." I responded sheepishly

"You're the worst girlfriend ever! You're embarrassing me, all the people in the cars can see your cuts!" Abbey wailed. She was right, nobody wanted to see my arms... she'd always told me I'd looked like a raspberry pie on both my thighs and wrists but only now did I see why. I quickly pulled my jacket back over my body realising that she was right and I was a horrible person for exposing her like that. She ignored me for the rest of the walk to the shopping centre, only looking over her shoulder occasionally to make sure I hadn't passed out in the heat.

Once we arrived, we split up and went in seperate ways to find clothing for us to wear. We met up a few hours later and began to walk home once again.
