Breathe Me

One Shot

Ellie

Ellie sat Indian style on her bed. In front of her was her old CD case. She hadn't touched it since she moved in with Sean. Now, he was gone. She was back with her mother. Mrs. Nash broke her promise. She started to drink again.

Ellie picked up the case and slowly opened. Everything was still in there. Band-aids. Razors,. X-acto knives. Her old compass. She picked up an X-acto knive. She rested an arm on her leg and held it to her pale, porcelain skin. She slowly glided the blade across her arm.

Help, I have done it again

I have been here many times before

Hurt myself again today

And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame

She let out a trembling sigh. She let the blood pour out, and spill over on to her jeans.She closed her eyes, envisioning all her emotional turmoil flowing out of her.She sat the blade down on her skin again, and pushed it down as hard as she could. She bit her lip and slowly slid it across her arm. Again and again.

Be my friend

Hold me, wrap me up

Unfold me

I am small

I'm needy

Warm me up

And breathe me

Ellie put the X-acto knife down and fell back on her bed. She had cut up both of her arms. She laid flat on her back with her arms spread out on each side. She let the blood stain her sheets. She didn't care.

Ouch I have lost myself again

Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,

Yeah I think that I might break

I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe

Ellie sat up and almost fell off her bed. She felt really dizzy. She looked down at her arms, they were covered in blood. More blood than she has ever seen before. Her hands were becoming cold. She slowly stood up and turned to look at her bed. She saw all the blood soaking in to the sheets. She let out a manic laugh, "It looks like someone was killed."

Be my friend

Hold me, wrap me up

Unfold me

I am small

I'm needy

Warm me up

And breathe me

Before she knew it, she was laying face down on her bedroom floor. The blood was still pouring out of her body. Tears were falling from her eyes, faster than the blood. She tried to call for help, but couldn't get out anything higher than a whisper. She cried in to her floor. Asking for forgiveness.

"Please," she whispered, "I didn't mean for this to happen. It can't happen. I want to live. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."She closed her eyes and said, "Help me," as loud as she could. She waited for someone to come. No one came. She let out her last breath and died by her own hand.

Be my friend

Hold me, wrap me up

Unfold me

I am small

I'm needy

Warm me up

And breathe me
