Chapter 20 ~ I love you...

Shes only 17 her whole life's ahead of her, she hates school and the people there discredit her. And a boy tried to tell her that's not how it seemed, but every day, she gets lowered my her self esteem. He lets her know that every night will have a brighter day. She even tried to overdose and take her life away.

She's feeling hopeless, sitting beside her bed. Then he takes his hand and places it beside her head. He tried to hold her, but with every touch she still resists. And then he sees the scars, berries deep working her wrist.

She's feeling numb, he tries to beg and plead and ask her why. She says this way she has control of things she feels inside. He's asking her, "How long it's going since you felt this way because you got me here just feeling so damn helpless." She said, "its been a while, I guess I needed better luck."

And then he screams at her and tells her "Baby never cut!" The next day at school, she's feeling better than the day before, even cracked a couple smiles as she walked the corridor. All that seemed to end,

she dropped her books when she walked into class, and every student in the room just pointed and laughed. She couldn't take it anymore she sent Mark a text. Hope said I love you with my body heart and soul to death. Mark thought nothing typed I love you too and then he sent it.

By death, he didn't know that she had literally just meant it. She ducked her next class ran home into their bathroom. Thought to herself she wouldn't break a promise that soon. One cut, two cuts, three cuts, four. The blood dripped from the tub to the floor.

Now Mark had a feeling in his stomach that he hated, he followed it went down to their house, he never waited. The front door was open and he hear the water running. He stormed into the bathroom and his heart just started gunning.

His arms around Hope's shoulder, he's trynna leans her back up. Yelling out her name as he lays her beside the bathtub. Feels his whole world just took a hit from a big avalanche. Screaming out so heavily, SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE!! Feeling mad and angry like somebody led her onto this. Her eyeballs were rolling, drifting out of consciousness.

Thinking to himself "why the hell didn't she stop at will?" The tears just keep on rolling as they head to the hospital. The paramedics rush her in, doctor calls emergency, she lost a lot of blood, the place looks like a murder scene. An hour later, the doc walks over with a sour face.

He said, "excuse me for the words that I'm about to say, I'm sorry for your loss" Mark just started collapsing. His whole world, his baby girl, just took a crashing. Saying to himself, that it's his fault, and that he let it up. "Hope, I thought you made a promise, you would never cut."

Mark opened his eyes and had sweat and tears on his face. He ran down the hall and busted through my door. I was in my room on the floor. I was crying, also cutting. He came next to me and took the blade from me. He hugged me tightly.

We sat on the floor of my room. I cried and cried. "Hope, why do you do this to yourself?" Mark asked. "Cause I can't take this anymore." I said. Mark kissed my forehead and held me close. He held my wrist. "Mark, can I say something?" I said, with tears in my eyes.

"Of course Hope." He said. "I-I love you." I said. He got a smile on his face. "I love you too." He said. He smiled and he held me until I fell asleep. Mom, Dad, I hope you aren't disappointed. I love Mark... And I love you...
