Mandy: "Hey! how are ya(:"
Me: "I'm doing good, hbu?"
Mandy:" I am great!"
I threw my phone onto my bed and layed flat on my back on the cold floor. I was physically okay but I honestly wasn't mentally fine. I've been having nightmares, about weird things. Like one was about a spider that layed eggs in my ear and weeks later they hatched. I would wake up frightened out of my mind. I'd always act like I was doing okay at school, you know fake a smile and move on. but that didn't cut it....
What people didn't see was the cuts on my thighs, the way I held the sharp object to my skin. The blade was almost graceful the way it cut into the layers of what covers my body. I wouldn't feel it but I could see the red liquid run down my thigh dripping ever so lightly into the scalding hot water in the bath.
Maybe the water is hot enough to burn my skin. Maybe I'll escape this living hell.
I often found myself drifting into my own little day dream. I would think about the way it would feel so Nice to have someone who cares about me like my mother once did. She would always tuck me in at night and read me a story, the story was always "Green Eggs and Ham" By Dr Suess....
I lifted myself off of the floor after hearing the buzzing of my phone. I got to my feet and stumbled over to the bed, reaching for my phone and grasping it in my hand. It read; 1 missed call, and an unknown number. I felt my phone vibrate once more, this time with a text.
"Hello, I'm awfully sorry but I cannot tell you who I am. I can tell you I do go to your school, I was actually curious to know if you would like to meet me, after school tomorrow down by the river across the street?"
My eyes studied the text for a long while, I decided to reply..
"How did you get my phone number..?"
I wanted to meet them, but at the same moment I didn't. They didn't seem very open about anything. For all I know I could be going to meet a rapist. I felt my bed vibrate and glared at my phone.
"You could say I'm pretty good at those kind of things, now what do you say?"
"Maybe"
