Is the Captain okay

witness

Kwaziis P.O.V

The Captain returned with Ursa and Orson, he seemed happy but his smile was off, I don't know why. "Hi Kwazii can we hear one of your pirate tales " Orson asked. "Sure matey" I said. I told them a story they seemed to be interested and I kept talking, I notice Barnacles scratching at his arm furiously, this made me pause for a moment. I shook my head and went back to telling the story.

I finish telling my tale and the cubs seemed in awe. "Wow that was an amazing story" Ursa said. I smile and I notice Barnacles is scratching at his arm again but he soon stops. He looked at me with a soft smile, I smile back. Ursa and Orson went  to up to their uncle and they hang out.

I don't care and I do my own thing I notice that the Captain is scratching at his arm again, I don't know why but my gut is telling me no yelling at me that somethings wrong very wrong, I feel worried and nervous.

Captain Barnacles P.O.V

I talk and play with the cubs, I had to hide the urge to cut myself, I have to wait till my sister says I can return the cubs. I play and act like I feel happy, Even though I really feel sad, anxious, and a strong urge to cut. I love the cubs I really do but I NEED to cut. My Sister texts me to drop off the cubs at her home.

I get up and tell Ursa and Orson, "but we don't want to leave the Octopod" Ursa said, "I'm sorry but you have to go home now come on" I say, they argue but I don't give in and soon they just nod and head into the gup. I get them home safely and I get back to the Octopod, I quickly head to the Octoshoot to go to my room but before I did I noticed that Kwazii was looking at me with a look of worry, I shake my head na he's not staring at me with a look of worry.

I go into my bathroom and pull up my sleeves I feel the urge almost control me, I grab the razor and I cut a lot I couldn't wait any longer if I tried. I washed off the blood and go back to the launch bay, it was just me and Kwazii, as I'm walking to my station Kwazii looks at me then he grabs my hand. I look over at him and he isn't looking at me but

He's staring at my arm, with his other hand he proceeds to pull up my sleeve, I felt so much fear and anxiety, he had found out. I looked at him and my heart drops he looks at all the cuts on my arm and then looks at me with tears in his eye.

"Barnacles, I had no idea you were doing this, what's going on what's wrong" Kwazii asked me in a sweet and comforting voice that I had no Idea he could do. "Kwazii I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" I stuttered then I started to cry. He hugs me and said " you don't have anything to apologize for. "

I hugged him and cried for what seemed like forever, "Captain please stop doing this to yourself" he said. "I will" I said, I knew I wasent gonna be able to stop, it had consumed me it was my only way of feeling better.
