Tangled in the great escape - a pierce the veil fanfiction

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I sat in the corner of my room, blade at the ready. This year the anniversary had really hit home and now I was crying uncontrollably on the floor, tears blurring my vision. Since the crash everyday had been a struggle, even 5 years on I was still unable to bring myself to go into their bedrooms. The pain was just too much.

I let out a sob as the metal tore my skin, cutting another parallel line over my just healing scars. Mum and dad would've been crushed to have seen their little girl like this, but they weren't here now, nobody was. I was all alone on this downward spiral that was my life. The image of my sisters face as she died in my arms flashed before my eyes as I cut into my skin once again. " WHY HER?! WHY NOT ME SHE WAS SO YOUNG!!" I screamed. "Why... Why...why...." I sobbed "why..." I drifted into unconsciousness.

I woke up on the floor. I rubbed at my bleary eyes and looked down at myself; I was a mess. I had really lost it this time... I got up, stumbled over to my closet and pulled out a short, blue polka dotted dress with a little collar, a knitted jersey and grabbed a fresh pair of underwear from my drawers. I walked over to the bathroom and turned the shower on full blast, stripped and hopped into the steaming hot water.

After I had scrubbed myself down, I got out and changed into the dress and jersey and wrapped my arms in gauze. I grabbed my brush and dragged it through my tangled ginger hair. I eventually gave up and threw it up into a rough ponytail. I considered putting on some makeup to cover up the big, dark circles under my eyes but knew I would still look horrible either way and decided against it. I flicked off the bathroom light and shuffled into my room. I saw that my blades were still on the floor, and there was a few small pools of blood on the carpet. A small sob escaped my lips and I ran down stairs to get some cleaning supplies.

I returned with a plastic bag full of cleaning wipes and spray and begun scrubbing at the carpet. Once it was all out I picked up my blades and twirled them between my fingers. "No more." I said to myself and I shoved them into the plastic bag with the dirty wipes and put it in the bin down stairs.

I sighed and collapsed onto the kitchen bench. "Time for breakfast-" I checked the time, it was 12.40. "scratch that, time for lunch." I walked over to the fridge and peered inside. There was absolutely nothing to eat. I checked all the cupboards and received the same result. "Time to face the big wide world and go to the supermarket." I said as I grabbed my car keys and pulled my jersey closer to my neck.
