Scars

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 telling my parents)

When I got home my mom looked upset and I think I know why, I ask my mom why she is so upset. She grabs my arm and sees my 37 cuts running down my arm and burst into tears, I had never realized how much my family loved me! I had never seen my mom cry, but the fact that I made her cry astounded me. As my mom is hugging me, crying my father is behind her yelling telling me that I was stupid for doing this even though it made me feel a lot better and made me stop thinking of how I was going to try to kill myself next. My mom let go of her tight embrace to turn to face my dad, I wasn't sure how this was gonna go, as I watched my mom yell at my dad for yelling at me and calling me stupid. My mom had never defended me and now that she was showing how much she really cared about me I looked at her like a totally different person. I could tell her anything and she may not like it but she excepts it. That night I stayed up till 4:30 am with my jacket off, not hiding, talking to my mom and having fun girl time, when I was really young my mom used to scratch my back to make me fall asleep and that's what she did, I felt excepted again, like I was important, and I loved that!
