I rock Sky back and forth as he cries into my chest. Sky looks up at me with tears in his eyes, as he mouths, "I'm so sorry." I must nod and rub his back.
I caught Sky cutting his wrist in the bathroom. He has twelve new cuts going up his left arm. I found a blade on the floor next to him covered in blood. I throw it away before he got a chance to cut again.
"Please Skylar stop, I hate that you hurt yourself." Sky looks down pulling his phone out of his pajama bottoms and places it in my hands. "Why did you hand me your phone?" Sky points to the case tapping it, before burying his face into my shoulder, crying again.
I pop the case off and three small razor blades fall onto my bed. I carefully grab the blades and throw them into the small waste basket by my bed. I trace over Sky's new cuts gently.
"Sky, I'll be right back okay, I'm just going to the bathroom to clean up, and grab you a wrap for your arm so the new cuts don't get infected." I get up placing Sky on my bed.
I grab a towel and wet it completely. I bend down and clean up all the blood off the floor. I rinse the towel off multiple times to get the blood out as much as possible. I open the medicine cabinet looking for the wraps at the back of the third shelf.
"Hey Blake what are you doing up its early?" Paula asks yawning. "I umm just had to use the restroom." "Okay, sweetheart now go to bed." "Okay I will goodnight." "Goodnight." I quickly rush back to my room, closing the door behind me.
I walk over to Sky's bed to find him asleep. He has his left are to him cradled in his right to his chest. I take his arm dabbing at it gently with proxcide. Sky winces in his sleep and tries to take his arm back. I quickly dab at his cuts again, then quickly run back to the bathroom to rinse the blood out then back to our room, but Sky is in my head so I just slide in next to him.
Sky cuddles into my chest and buries his head into my shoulder. I wrap my arms around his waist pulling him closer to me. I sigh and whisper to myself.
"Sky, you have no idea how much it hurts me that you don't talk, not even to me. It really kills me that you self harm an..." I'm cut off by Sky wiggling out of my grasp and turns around so his back is to me, but he is still slightly in my grasp.
"I really wish that you would tell me what the horrible memories, and hat discoloured patch of skin is on your back is."mSky tries once again to wiggle out of my grasp, I finally let him as he curls up into a tight back holding onto his pillow. Is he awake?
"Are you awake Skylar?" I whisper, waiting for an answer. There's none. I sigh and turn around getting out of bed and heading to Sky's bed. I fall into the bed falling into a deep sleep instantly.
Sunlight is going through the blinds of my window shinning right into my eyes. I open my eyes to close them instantly. I let my eyes adjust to the light before getting ready for school.
I walk to my closet looking through all of my clothes, I can't find anything at all that I want to wear. I head to Sky's closet finding one of his Black Veil Brides shirts with Andy Sixx on it alone with his blood read beanie. I know I should probably ask Sky is I can wear his close but I hope he won't mind.
I hurry downstairs since I woke up late so I probably held everyone up. When I reach the last step, I see all my little brothers are sitting in the living room watching SpongeBob in the pajamas.
"Aren't we going to school?" "No." The triplets say still looking at the TV. I sit next to Sky, he's on his phone texting someone who I'm guessing his Kylie. "Why are you wearing my clothes?"
"Sorry, I just didn't like any of my clothes so I just went to your closet and picked out some stuff, is that okay?" "Yea sure." There's a silence but it's a comfortable silence.
