Jade looked at herself in the mirror for a while. Staring at her naked body. Pinching her skin, thinking to herself... 'Too fat.' Her focus then was on her cuts, making sure, before she gets back to bed, they're not visible. She slipped on her clothes back on, slowly opened the door into Beck's living room/bedroom/kitchen/place. She watched her step and slipped back into bed with Beck.
Jade has been living in Beck's trailer for a couple of weeks now, with her parents fighting. She thought it'd be best she wasn't in the middle of it. Beck knew it was horrible for her to see her parents fight. Other than Beck, she really loves her parents. He just didn't know how much it hurt her.
She laid beside Beck. Still asleep, he looked... angelic. His eyes closed, peacefully laying on the bed... she lightly picked up his arm and pulled it over her stomach, closing her eyes, believing she didn't wake him up. But she did.
"Hmm?" He made. Seeing his girlfriend, peacefully asleep. He leaned over to kiss her on her cheek, when he noticed the cuts on her wrists peaking out of her sleeves of her shirts... he pulled her sleeves up to see even more.
'This can't be real.' He thought to himself. 'Maybe it's a dream.' To prove himself wrong, he pinched himself. He was wrong, this is real. He didn't want to awake her, he thought he'll wait till the morning to mention it. He just lied there on the bed, thinking to himself... 'Why?'
Beck's POV
"Fuck." I said under my breath, this shit can't be happening. Is her parents making her all depressed? How long... Ugh, can she just wake up now?
Sitting and waiting for almost an hour now. She's still sound asleep. I turned on the tv, hoping it'd wake her up. But it didn't. Took a couple of more hours to pass until she finally woke up.
"Hmm. Beck?" She said, unsure about her surroundings. She walked over and put her arms around me. "Why aren't you in bed? How long have you been awake?" She asked, kissing him on the cheek.
"A while... Uh, we need to talk." I said, I pulled out of her clutches, 'We need to talk?', she's probably going to think I'm trying to break up with her.
"About what?" She slowly answered.
"I saw something I don't think you wanted me to. But, babe." I tried to string this out, but I couldn't. "Hey, I saw... what happened to your wrists?" I spat out.
"What do you mean?" She jumped.
"Sho-show me." I stuttered. She shook her head. "Jade. Please." But she moved away from me. I started to move close to her, but she kept walking away until I cornered her and she fell on her knees.
"Jade... Jade. It's okay." I knelt down, touching her shoulder, "Please. Just show me." I asked nicely. She started to cry. "Hey... hey... just calm down." I said. I took her over to the couch. "Don't cry." I swept her tears. "I love you. I care. I just want to see."
"Fine!" She cried, "Just... well... I don't want to talk about it..."
I rolled up her sleeves up... ran my fingers through scabs and scars. My hand went over my mouth. This was unreal... "I just have one question... how long have you been..."
"A couple of months..." She interrupted.
"Why are you so sad?" I asked.
"You used up your question. I'm leaving." Jade grabbed her things, but I grabbed her bag and it fell. All of her things... Uneaten food, razors, and band-aids.
"Jade..." I tried to hold back my tears. "I made you lunch for the past week and you haven't ate?" I asked. She turned her head.
"Jade. You tell me everything, why are you doing this to yourself?" I asked.
She sat in silence.
"Well..."
A/N: Cliffhanger! Yay! I hope you like it. I'll try to get the next one up sooner... or later.
