Pain and Depression Love and Friendship Selfharm and Guilt Tears and Hysteria. Aryanna and Jack have been friends for a long time. Since a few months Ryan descovered that she might feel something more than friendship towards Jack. Still she keeps it silent for she values her friendship more than an possible relationship with Jack. She is just waiting for the feelings to go away, for even though she might fancy him, she knows she'll be happier with Jack as friends then as partners. Ryan isn't a happy girl. At home, there are many things playing and at school people don't understand her. She only knows one way out of the pain, and that way contains a razor-sharp knife. When Jack discovers she selfharms, he begs her not to do it again. And she promises him. But later on, when the two get into a fight from which Ryan doesn't know the cause, something happens. Something bad happens. Something so bad, that Ryan feels herself forced to fall back into her old habits. She starts cutting again. NOT A FANFICTION! (like, I'll tell you cuz my other stories ARE fanfics :p gonna write more like this though) A OneShot that contains PAIN, as well as emotional as pysical, it also contains SELFHARM, so if you can't read that I advise you don't. The story around Aryanna is bigger than shown in this oneshot. Maybe one day I'll make another oneshot about her, because surely her story isn't told in its fullest yet. But, for this oneshot you don't have to know Aryanna and her story. So, just ENJOY it!
