Fangs POV

I sat back against a wall listing to my I pod my favorite song came on. I wasn't proud of what I had taken up doing lately and had been able to keep it from the others. I took out a knife. The song was by a band named Linkin Park. I had heard this song and fell in love with it. I felt that it described me.

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I thought about every thing that had happened in my life from being taken as a child to be some genetic experiment. I let a small tear role down my face as I put the blade against my skin and slowly pushed down. A soft tingle of red blood started to spill.

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

It was always my flock and I. I was always alone and the one fighting the battles. I didn't really understand why it was my job to do this. Im fourteen years old I didn't diserve this. I cut longer extending the wound.

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

More tears spilled from my eyes I heard footsteps outside but didn't pay attention. I made a second cut there was no pain I felt life in each one of these cuts. I told the flock everything was alright for so long. I never did understand why I never told them. I could have told Max. She would have understood it didn't have to come to this.

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

The last battle nearly getting killed again had finally made me snap. I realized I was risking my life for nothing and none of this mattered to me. I never got one thanks for anything I did. I was under appreciated. The second cut was as long as the first cut I went to make a third one.

I dont want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

The door opened behind me and I heard a shriek. I didn't see who it was my mind wasn't working. I felt the knife being taken from my hand. A liquid was poured onto my wound. I could hear people yelling my name but I didn't answer I just sat there My headphones were still on and the music kept playing.

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I had lost a lot of blood over the past few days. I felt my eyes coming to a close I saw five people all standing around me crying.

"I love you Max." I said weakly. I closed my eyes looking at Max she was the last thing I would see.

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

My life had ended shortly. I now watch over the flock. The pain is gone. A new pain of has started but I knew some day I would get a chance to see Max again.

Song was Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park.
