Broken

Chapter 14

As I've said Before. This is a mature book. There is a lot of mentions of suicide and self abuse

I gently stroke ahsoka's back lekku as she sleeps. Something is going on. Something weird. I could smell the blood. When you've spent enough time in war, you can smell blood from at least a few feet away.

Well kix taught me how, so I can get anyone injured to him. Because more people listen to me then kix.

And she kept pulling on one of her glove things as if she was hiding something, should I look under it? No no I shouldn't. I trust she wouldn't hurt herself.

Plus she's smiling a lot at the minute. Maybe she just got a paper cut. She's too happy to do anything bad. But then again, it could be fake.

Something like this happened beofre. Well not exactly like this but somewhat.

One of my brothers, he killed himself. We all thought he was fine. He was a new member to the legion. It was obvious the war and stress was effecting him.

He always smiled and made jokes, so I never thought much of it. But one day, after a battle, he went to take a shower. He was in there for a good 2 hours. Very long for a shower. So I had decided to check up on him.

We have all seen each other naked before. Plus we basically all have the same bodies. Sure we tried our best to avoid seeing each other naked cause it gross, but sometimes it's impossible.

When I had opened the door I had felt sick. There was the young solider, in the shower, slit wrists. Uncounicias. Kix tried to save him but he had lost to much blood.

Could ahsoka be going through the same thing? Could she have hurt herself? No she wouldn't do that. She would have talked to me. Or would she?

I push the thoughts out of my mind. Ahsoka isn't suicidal. I said in my mind trying to reassure my self.

I can't keep the thoughts out of my mind. My thoughts go back to her wrist. Should I check? No no that's an invasion of privacy, she will hate you if you do. And if there aren't cuts, she won't trust you anymore.

But if there are cuts, you'll be helping her. You could get her help. I know the council already put in a request for a therapist, but if she is cutting her self, she's gonna need that therapist a lot sooner.

Should I tell the council my suspicions. No I shouldn't, cause if I'm wrong, it won't end well.

Plus then I'll have to tell all of them about that rookie that killed him self. Me and my brothers reported his death as death by battle. We never specified that it was a battle in his mind. We didn't want the generals to get mad.

They wouldn't be happy. I probably would have gotten into a lot of trouble for not spotting the solider was having problems. Plus, it marks the rookies death as noble if we don't tell them the real reason. We made it seem like he Sacrificed his life for the republic. Not killed himself because it was to much for him. He hadn't even given himself a name because he was too busy with the battle in his mind.

I feel myself starting to drift off. I don't have anything to do today besides watch ahsoka. I guess I can take a small nap. I feel my eyes close.

That's the end of the chapter. Comment your thoughts on it. Bye!
