Drip drop…
A pattern of red dots started to appear before my eyes, ruining what was once a pristine white carpet.
Drip drop…
Blood dripped from my chin coming from an open wound on my head, just behind my ear, leaving a bloody trail on my face.
Drip drop…
More blood splashed the recently destroyed carpet as the belt hit my back and opened old wounds.
Drip drop….
No one is coming to save me. I'm going to die alone.
Xander opened his eyes and was greatly pleased to see he had made it to his room last night. As he tried to move his body off the couch, a sharp pain in his side reminded him of just how bad last night's beating was. After a short breath to get the pain under control, he looked at the clock and decided that making it to fourth period was not worth the effort. A bowl of cereal and some TV was on today's menu.
School had gotten out hours ago but Xander had yet to receive any phone calls asking where he was. I mean it wasn't unusual that they stayed after in the library to research demons and talk about patrols, but did they really not notice that he hadn't been in school today?
It seemed that lately Xander was just the donut runner or tension breaker. They had no use for him; he wasn't a witch or a slayer. He always fucked shit up and they wasted no opportunity to tell him such. Just the other night on patrol he had almost killed himself by tripping over a stone and nearly impaling himself on the stake in his hands. Buffy wasted no time telling him that if he died it would have embarrassed her with the irony of dying on a piece of wood that I was using to dust the undead.
Another glance at the clock told Xander that while it might still be a little early, he really had nothing better to do then sleep. A dizzying walk to the most pathetic excuse for a bed, more like a pile of blankets due to all the damage to the frame thanks to his dad, and a last longing look at the phone, Xander retired for the night.
"I just want to sleep away my problems. I want to fall asleep and never wake up. I wonder how long it would take them to realize I was missing…?"
Please give me reviews because I'm not sure if I should continue. I lost interest in my other story so I know I'm keeping this one on the shorter side but I have no idea what will happen in this story.
