Cut
I went to the bathroom, flicked on the lights and opened the medicine cabin; I began to move bottles out of the way until I finally found what I was looking for, my sharp sterling silver three inch scalpel. I watch as the light reflected off the blade giving off a shine. I closed the medicine cabin and looked into the mirror; I flinch at the sight of myself and look away. Clinching the scalpel I pressed it into my skin, a small scratch appears but I feel nothing. I press the blade harder and deeper into my skin; I let out a sigh when I feel blood seeping out of the wound and into the sink. I can feel all of my pain, sorrow, and worries fade away into oblivion. Why have I not thought to do this before when I was overwhelmed with my horrible and miserable life?
There is a knock at my bedroom door; I poke my head out of the bathroom to glare at the door. Knowing damn well that whoever is on the other side cannot see me. Whoever is on the other side of the door knocks again, then there is a voice, "Kai?" I didn't answer, then that voice came again. "Kai, I know that you are in there. I saw you come up here after dinner; you have been locked up in here since then, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Rei. He is always worried about me, always wanting to know how he can help. I sigh and look back to the mirror, I look horrible; deciding to answer Rei now or never I turn on the hot water tap and began to wash my face and hands. Feeling a stinging sensation on my arm I look down and realize that my arm is still bleeding. I guess that is why I feel so calm; I turn off the hot water tap and turn on the cold then stuck my arm under the running water. The stinging intensifies before it dulls down, after a while I pull my arm from under the water then turn the water off. Dabbing my arm with a towel I walk back into the bedroom and go to my closet. Pulling out my favorite blue and gray long sleeve shirt and putting it on, I walk over to the door and open it.
There Rei stood with his hair unbraided and slung over his right shoulder; hands on his hips he glares at me, waiting for me to say something. For what seems like a long time we just stand there and look at one another. Finally Rei breaks the silence by asking if he could come in, I just grunted and moved to the side. He breezed past me, sat on my bed and waited for me. I closed the door and turned around to look at him. Rei looks me up and down then asks, "Kai are you okay? I'm worried about you; you have been locked up here for the longest time." I don't verbally answer him; instead I give an 'hn' and walk to my dresser.
There is a long silence before I hear him move off the bed and come to stand beside me; he puts a hand on my shoulder and squeezed. "Can I do something, anything, for you Kai? You look a mess; I know a massage technique that will help relax you. Let me give you that just let me do something. I feel so helpless; you're withdrawing into yourself again. We all know how that can't be good."
I looked at Rei before walking to my bed, 'hn'ed, and then laid down. I tucked my head in the crook of my arm and got comfortable before I heard Rei move from my dresser to my bed. I felt the bed dip before I actually felt his hands on my back. He began to massage but then stopped, straddled my hips before his hand began to move again. Hands moving from my back to my shoulders to my neck then back down towards my hips. I moaned into my arm and told Rei to massage the middle of my back. I felt Rei hands press harder into the middle of my back; Rei stopped all movements before leaning forward and whisper in my ear, "Do you think that I can remove your shirt?" I didn't reply for a while before I lift on my elbows and began to take off my shirt. I only took it off so much to where my arms were still in the shirt but it was over my head and my bare chest and back was showing. Laying back down Rei began to resume his massaging, starting at my hips then working his skillful hands towards my shoulders. Hands going towards my arms sliding under the shirt, hands going towards my cuts, hands going towards my secret. Before I could react his fingers brushed over the semi open wound.
Rei hands froze just as my body did. Slowly getting off of my back and off the bed, I could feel Rei stand at the foot of my bed. I slowly lifted my head and looked into the face of Rei. He just stood there expressionless; I got off the bed and stood to my full height, waiting for Rei to say something. There is a very long silence, breathing doesn't even come to mind as Rei and I look at each other. Finally he speaks, "Kai, are you cutting yourself?"
I sat back down on the bed, sighed, and then ran my fingers through my hair. I looked at Rei then at my arm which was exposed a little from Rei's massage; taking off my shirt the rest of the way, I let Rei see the full extent of my wound. He gasps and rushes over to my side, he tries to touch my wound but I pull my arm away from his touch. Rei sighs and crouches down in front of me, "Kai, I am going to be here as long as it takes. I will be right here waiting for you to tell me what in the world is going on."
I looked up at Rei and stare into his eyes, I just couldn't tell him. I can't tell him what is going on. He won't believe me.
