Luke's Pov
"Would you like some tea?" Michael's soft voice pulls me out of my thoughts.
I nod, "Why are you being so nice to me?" I ask, finally saying something.
"Because, friends do this for each other." He replies like it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"Friends? We're friends?" I ask shocked that Michael would actually want to be friends with me.
"Of course. I wouldn't be doing this for just anyone." He says. I bite my lip to keep myself from smiling.
"Thank you."
"Are you sure he's not just playing you? I mean, no one would volunteer to become your friend. This could all be a bet. He's attractive, funny, and popular. Why would he ever want to hangout with a nobody." The first voice says. I feel my lip begin to quiver.
"I.. uh.. should be getting home now." I say mustering up a random excuse. I don't give him time to reply before I leave the house quickly.
I quickly walk to my house, trying to tune out Michael's voice.
I run to my room, skin itching for the cool metal touching my skin. I close the curtains, Michael could easily look into my room if not.
TRIGGER WARNING
I take out my box, biting down on my lip harshly. Within moments of taking my blades out I have cuts marking my skin. I watch as the red liquid seeps out, slowly. I move along to my other arm, making thinner lines along my wrist. I try and keep my cries quiet, even though I'm the only one home. I deserve this, right?
I stand up, walking toward the mirror. I take one glance at myself and my nose crinkles in disgust. Face puffy, tear streaks along the curve of my cheeks, blood stained skin, my quite large stomach, red eyes, everything about me is gross. No wonder everyone picks on me.
I sniffle, walking into the bathroom, turning on the shower. I dispose of my clothes, getting underneath the water. I sigh sadly. I can't tell if it's water or tears running down my cheeks. I finish the quick shower, picking up my clothes and hurrying to my bedroom. I climb under the covers, lying awake for an hour or so before drifting off into an almost peaceful sleep.
