TW: Shouting, Fighting

I glance around, looking for any family members. I stumbled on the steps when I was forced to come down and grabbed the railing to steady me. I instantly heard arguing, and I saw Echo shouting at everyone to stop. I whined, and everyone heard it. Carter's head snapped towards me and he yelled at me to shut up. I shattered inside, and my head snapped up, tears in my eyes. I yelled back at him, and everyone stared at me in surprise. I went back to my room and leaped onto my bed, sobbing.

A razor appeared in my hand, and I tossed my hoodie off, sitting on the floor. I dragged it down the side of my arm. I didn't bleed for a few seconds, then it slowly dripped out, and I tore my wound open more, and then blood poured out ridiculously fast. I cried out in pain and hissed. My eyes caught a rope before black dots covered my sight and I fell against my bed a minute before my door opened.

Echo's POV

I walked down the hallway and quietly knocked on V's door. I didn't hear a response so much, but more of a cry of pain, then a hiss. I quickly opened the door and saw a puddle of blood. My gaze quickly went to his arm, which grasped a razor blade, and had a large, deep cut. "Oh my..." I saw his eyes flutter and I quickly got to work with the wound, concern and worry glistening in my eyes, blocking every other emotion. Once I was done, I sat him up on his bed against the wall, arm facing upwards. I called, the blood soaked bandage unfolding. I noticed the loose bandage. That got me moving, grabbing another roll and wrapping the cut up. I checked the blood-stained razor, my eyes narrowed as I checked the worn metal.

Virgil's POV

I awoke, expecting to be close to death. Instead, I saw Echo gazing at my razor, I guessed studying it. I shot up and glared at the razor, and mumbled: "I want to be dead." She looked at me, concern sparkling in hr eyes. I put my headphones on, pain shooting through my body as I moved my arm.
