Omniscient

Arielle cried as she watched her blood drip down to the floor. Every night she would remember the times she would pray to be lighter. Now she's slowly learning to accept the things that make her her.

But, she still struggles with depression with suicidal thoughts creeping up every now and then. She dropped the knife when she heard Keith walk in. She locked the door and sat on the floor hugging her knees.

She heard Keith knock on the door but she didn't answer.

She didn't want him to know she was cutting again. He trusted her enough to throw them away but that wouldn't happen. Arielle just sat there waiting for him to leave. She wanted to tell him a lot of things but she was scared he would stop liking her.

She just started crying again as she cleaned up the mess, bandaged the cut and went out.

She pulled her black hoodie not wanting to go to class. She hated every aspect of school except lunch. If it wasn't about food she already didn't wanna hear it.

Arielle sat in the back and started making notes. She looked up to see Keith getting something for his class. She wished she was there with him but that was just a wish.

Keith looked at her and was about to smile when he was pulled away and back to his class.

Arielle just slouched in her chair waiting for the bell to ring.

Arielle looked down at the breathtaking and beautiful city. She didn't have to go to lunch so she went to the rooftop. The sounds of cars beeping, people laughing and shouting, and the sounds of bells filled her ears.

The wind blew her hair in her face. She looked at the young girls laughing with their friends and wished she had their happiness.

Keith opened the door but Arielle didn't see him walk in. He sat next to her watching the beautiful sights of the city. She looked beside her and smiled when she saw him. They hugged and shared a few jokes.

They pointed at the buildings they could see from the roof. Keith moved her hair from Arielle's face. She smiled and played a song from her phone. It was called "Busy Boy"
Keith sang the song along with her when Vanessa and the rest of the group burst in.

They awwed and started to record them. They hid their faces not wanting to be seen. However, Vanessa still recorded their faces slyly.

They got up and mugged her. The group laughed and went to their next lesson. The rowdy bunch walked into the maths lesson not wanting to be there.

Arielle took out her book and wrote some notes as if she was going to look over it. Keith threw packets of sweets at her making her mug him. He laughed and threw more at her.

The teacher glared at them so they stopped in irritation.

Arielle walked back to her room.

Boys were running up and down the hall screaming random things. She rolled her eyes wanting her old room and Vanessa's. She took her room last week as she wanted her own space but now she regretted it.

Arielle walked into the room finally happy she was able to escape reality. She went into the bathroom and locked herself in. She took out the blade she had been hiding in her bag the whole day.

When she said she is trying to love herself that was a lie. He fathers words rang in her head.

"Bleach your skin. You look like a roach"

She cried as she cut deeper into her skin. She wiped the tears and sat in silence.

Arielle still didn't see the beauty within herself.
She looked down at the blood that decorated the floor.

She cleaned it up and bandaged the wounds. Then she rolled her sleeves down thinking no one would notice. Arielle layed on the bed and started crying her self to sleep for the tenth time that week.

She buried herself in the covers and kept crying into her pillow. He fathers words kept ringing in her head.

The bleaching he gave her for her birthday was still in her bag.
