Omniscient

Kayla lay on the bathroom floor, blood pouring out from her body. She seemed lifeless as her breath slowed down and her heart seemed faint.

The blood began to pour out like a river. Kayla's breathing suddenly became hitched and she kept gasping for air. She grabbed her pills as tears welled up in her eyes. Her phone buzzed flooded with worried texts from Arielle and she put it on do not disturb.

She rolled over crying as if she was about to take her last breath. The voices of her dad telling her to go kill her herself like her mother rang in her head.

Worthless.

Ugly.

Useless.

Kayla picked up the blade again and cut into her arms for the twelfth time today. All of a sudden the blade got stuck in her arm. A tear dropped from her eyes as she aggressively tried to pull it out.

She thought of Lucas and she instantly started to sob. Kayla was struggling to take it out so she just sat there stitching up her other eleven wounds. She finally pulled it out and screamed in pain as she bandaged it up.

She pulled her sleeves up and posted a picture of her smiling even though she was hurting inside.

smiling through the pain

Kayla barely felt any pain when she was self cutting. Her mother didn't want to give her up but her father beat herself into putting her up for adoption. He threatened to kill her if she didn't put her here when she turned thirteen.

A year later her mother committed suicide and wrote a letter apologising to Kayla. She still cried every time she read the words she wrote. She just wanted to feel happiness but her depression seemed to be eating her alive.

Her thoughts were brought to a halt when Lucas knocked on her door. Kayla hid not wanting to be seen in that moment.  His loud knocks rang in her ear.

"Go away!!!"

Kayla yelled but Lucas didn't seem to stop knocking. She dragged her feet to the door and slightly opened it. He frowned as he saw her tear stained face, red eyes and her oversized jumper pulled over her hair.

"I came to ask about our Science project. Have you finished your piece?"

She nodded and gave to him. He thanked her and she waved goodbye. Lucas frowned wanting to stay and comfort her but she had her walls up.

Even though Kayla liked him she didn't open up to people that much anymore. Lucas was about to walk away when she took his hand and asked to go with him. He smiled and said yes.

*30 minutes later*

Kayla laughed as Lucas made funny faces and pointed out the shapes the star made. The sirens, cars and people screaming across the street filled their ears.

Kayla started to feel tired so she laid her head on Lucas' shoulder. He looked down as she closed her eyes and smiled.

Happiness.

That's what Kayla wanted. But she didn't realise it was right in front of her. Lucas put laid his head on Kayla slightly as well and wrapped her in his jacket.

He watched as the sun slowly faded away. He was about to wake Kayla when he heard Arielle say aww and yelled at the others to come look. He laughed and woke her up.

Kayla stretched and kept wearing Lucas' jumper and covered her face as Arielle recorded them walking back to their rooms. Lucas said bye to Kayla and Arielle and Vanessa ran up to her demanding details and what happened.

Kayla laughed as she told them whilst walking back to her room.

Kira smiled whilst going back to her room. She still felt lonely even though they were her friends. She wanted to feel happiness but to her that was just a dream.

She still felt numb and broken inside. No one understood her.

Except Jordan.

Kira didn't want to admit her feelings as she thought she would hurt herself. She thought she would seem desperate or attention seeking. Little did she know, he liked her too.

They both thought the same thing.
