Bella and Daylyyn continued to talk and see each other frequently however Bella was still being pushed around as the new poor kid. One day Bella got chased home by a car with kids in it holding up a sign saying, "poor whore." She felt so broken and so alone at this point she texted Daylyyn saying, "i can't take this, maybe i'll relieve pain this way." He didn't get a chance to read till later. Bella went up to her room found a blade and cut all along her left arm. The cold small piece of metal splitting your skin in two as the blood slowly arises to the surface of the wound. The initial pain of the cutting, itself, isn't there that pain doesn't exist because its your own pain your causing it. In a way it feels good then it becomes addicting where you don't even need a reason to do it you just go through with it. Now with the marks up her arm shes left sitting there in the corner of her room silent, quiet, motionless, she didn't have a clue what to do but just to hide it for now.

The next morning Daylyyn texted her back finally, "Bella what happened?" "Its nothing really." "Yes its something now tell me what's wrong." "i cut last night." "Did you tell anyone else about it?" "No just you but i kinda have a problem." "What's that?" "I wanna keep doing it." "Bella please i don't want you to but in full honesty i'd rather you do that than kill yourself but i don't want you to hurt yourself either it kills me to see you do that." "I'll try to hold back, i promise." Unfortunately Bella did not keep that promise. Everyday she kept doing it deeper and deeper more and more cuts everyday. One day one of the kids that were making fun of her saw part of her arm and took her to the back of the school at the end of the day and beat her grabbed her marked up arm as hard as they could and left her with a black eye bruised arms and chest and a split lip. She ran home as quick as she could thinking to end it she didn't want to suffer through this anymore. That night she slit her wrist and passed out thinking she was going to bleed to death luckily her mom walked in her room and rushed her to the hospital before it was too late. Soon after Bella woke up she told what had happened and what was going on at school. They put her in the insane asylum for the night and they let her have her phone to talk to Daylyyn cause she mentioned he helped her hold on. While she was on her phone she decided to look up videos and stories on suicide attempts and self harm recovery. One video she found had a song playing in the background, in the description it said the name of the band and song. Bring Me The Horizon was the name of the band Blessed With A Curse was the song. Eventually she got released from the hospital and told Daylyyn to come over. She showed him the band and he said, "Oh i love this band i have a bunch of there shirts and CD's and shit i've seen them live a few times." Bella said, "why didnt you ever show me them this is amazing music right here." She listened to every song and every album within two days. The more she listened to it the more she started to recover and understood the meanings behind the songs. There was one song that really stood out called The Sadness Will Never End, she read the lyrics and thought of Daylyyn and felt that no matter what she did he would never give up on her. But even the name of the song spoke to her because thats how she felt before the night of the attempt. One month went by that she didn't hurt herself in anyway because she found that Bring Me The Horizon is a better band than hurting herself, she was homeschooled for a bit to get away from the kids at school. One morning Daylyyn called Bella waking her up yelling all excited, "Bella guess what you'll never guess whats happening!"
"What is it?" "BMTH is going on tour and there doing a show here next week!" "Oh my god, really? Can we go please?" "Of course we can, tell you what i'll even get the vip passes." "Wait, were gonna get to meet Oli, Lee, Mat, Matt Kean, and Jordan?" "Yes we are." "Oh my fucking god i love you so much Daylyyn thank you so much."
