Emily looked at her arm with satisfaction as the blood oozed out of her 'art' she hated to call them cuts even though thats what they were. The burning snapped her out of her thoughts as she added three more cuts,they were getting deeper and deeper but the pain reminded her she was still alive. She wondered how she got herself here. Maybe it was the loneliness,maybe it was the constant bullying from her classmates, no it had to be the verbal abuse from her family. Either way she never thought she'd self harm and when she started self harming she promised herself she wouldn't let them get deep, she promised herself she'd just keep them at Chicken Scratches. That's how they started. They started out as 'Chicken Scratches'. All Rights Reserved® Kala Clayton 2014©

The Mad House Is Where I Belong
I like inflicting pain. Not on others but on myself. Some people would call me depressed but I'm not. If anything the pain makes me happy. I started "self harming" at the mere age of nine. Or at least, that's what she called it. My therapist, I mean. She ended up giving me a life time supply of antidepressants and some shitty advice. I'm now eighteen, rotting in jail, and awaiting my death sentence. This is my story and if I'm quite honest, you don't want to hear it. +++ awards: ➵ Winner, Short Story Category, "Summer Book Awards" @Capybara100 ➵ Overall Winner, "Summer Book Awards" @Capybara100 status: ➵ started - 19/08/17 ➵ finished- 07/11/18 note: ➵ Please don't copy me.

Don't let go - Emily Prentiss x Reader
You and Emily met at the BAU when she transferred back from Interpol after Hotch had hired you a few months before. You fit right into the team when you joined, and naturally developed a great friendship with Emily when she returned too. But that friendship quickly developed into a little something more, and although you'd agreed to keep it secret from the rest of the team, it was getting harder to hide how much you cared for each other, especially when one particular case puts you right at the forefront of the team's investigation. This fanfic will revolve around y/n having mental health issues, and whilst the relationship with Emily will play a large part in the storyline, I want to keep it as realistic as possible so y/n's mental health problems will continue throughout. For the purposes of this story, Emily's return from Interpol is the only reason why she's left the BAU, the Ian Doyle storyline has not happened yet. (This story mentions various mental health topics including depression, anxiety, eating disorders (restriction and purging), self-harm and suicide. Please don't read if you think it'll trigger you, and please reach out to someone if you're struggling.) Smut warning - chapters with smut involved will have '*' in the titleComplete

Run Out of Emotion
Second Book In My Emo Series (but you can read them in any order and it still makes sense) †Maybe I'm better off dead. If I was, would it finally be enough to shut out all those voices in my head?† - 'Better Off Dead' by Sleeping With Sirens ****SELF HARM WARNING**** "The blade sank into my pale skin, as a trickle of scarlet blood rolled down my arm. My toes curled at the feeling. Other people smoke weed or do heroin, but my drug of choice is pain. Glancing around the dark room, I sighed deeply. All my life, I had been different." Devin is emo. He has been bullied at school for years and when he moves out of his parents house, Devin just wants to die. Meredith is also emo. She is almost a mute and believes she is worthless. Her high school days were spent bunking off, and Meredith intends to quit her job as soon as her possessive older brother lays off about her future. But when these two meet, a whole new part of their lives are opened. Although, nothing is ever achieved without pain, depression and blood, is it? WARNING: This story has swearing and has graphic self-harm scenes. Also, it contains characters from my other story, The Emo Boy I Cried For.Complete
