Beneath Myself
Ellie, one to have stresses in her life, was in her bed crying until she cried blood. Ellie fought hard to not cut herself, to not scar herself. From downstairs she could hear her mom yelling into the phone about money problems. Ellie wiped her tears away and took in a deep breath and went downstairs.
"Mom, what's going on?" Ellie's mother quickly hung up the phone and quickly walked to her daughter, " What are you doing down here? You are supposed to be in bed, tomorrow, you have school! Go to bed now!" Ellie's mother pushed Ellie to go back to bed.
The morning after, Ellie woke up and got dressed for school, and hoping that her mother was asleep. Ellie saw crack, cocaine, marijuana, and vodka all over the floor in the living room. Ellie shook her head in disagreement with her mother's choice of food and beverage.
Ellie walked into her class with a depressed sad look. Paige sat down beside her, "Hi hun, are you still mad at me for putting you into counseling?" Ellie gave off a fake little smile, "No, I'm kinda glad that ya helped me. Thanks." "Anytime sweet potato." Paige stood up and gave Spinner a hug before class had begun. Ellie just turned her head in sadness and feeling alone.
Ellie sat down in front of her locker waiting for Ms.Sauve. Sean slowly sat down beside Ellie, "So how are you?" "Fine." "So why are you waiting here?" "I have counseling." "Why?" "To stop cutting myself." "Oh, so do you wanna be a bad ass and ditch this?" Ellie let out a small laugh, "ok."
Ellie grabbed her stuff and left Degrassi Community School and onto The Dot Grill.
Sean sitting close to Ellie and holding her hand, Ellie starts to confide in him, ".so my life has a lot of stress. Especially since my dad left. I couldn't take it anymore, so that why I started cutting myself, see, I have the scars to prove it." Ellie lifted her sleeve to show Sean. Sean places a finger and gently touched the cuts, "Man, that looks brutal."
Sean gives Ellie a hug in comfort, but Ellie doesn't return it, she just stares down at herself. Sean moves away slowly and lifts Ellie's chin up and stares into her eyes deeply, "When ever you feel like talking, come to me and not the school guidance counselor." "I'll try to remember that." Just then Emma passes Ellie and Sean with Chris.
