Chapter 2
It's been a month and Logan is mad at me, like really mad. Not that I blame him or anything, I'm mad at me too. When Justin said he wanted me to be with Logan when he beats him, I thought I would be beaten too. I didn't realise I had to stand and watch like I didn't care, just so Logan will hate me. We pretend to be friends but we both know he hates me. He ignores me whenever he can. Tears roll down my face just thinking of him. I really wish I had the guts to do something more but I'm just to scared. I feel awful. I get off my bed and slip into the bathroom, taking with me the knife I have hidden there. I pull the knife across my wrist, it hardly makes a scratch but I still feel better anyway. I pull it across again, a little higher up. This time it bleeds.
There are about four or five new cuts by the time I'm finished. I feel better but I don't know how long I will feel semi happy for. I don't even know how long I'm going to be silent for. I feel as if I could snap at any moment or I feel detached, hollow and empty. My phone vibrates in my pocket, I pull it out. The screen flashes and unknown number.
"Hello" I say, "Who is this?"
"You've done better than I thought you would. I want more. Tomorrow I want you to hit your friend after I'm done with him. Got it?" Justin's voice comes out of the phone. I feel like I've been hit, all my energy is gone. I manage a weak yes and hang up. I curl into a ball on my bed and cry.
I'm still crying when my sister finds me later. "Are you okay?" She asks me, pulling me into her arms. "No" I sniff, burying my face into her shoulder. She doesn't ask any questions and just holds me tight. Eventually I pull out of her arms "I'm better now, thanks" I say with a smile, she looks uncertain but doesn't say anything about it.
Kendall, James, Carlos, Casey POV
Somethings up with Logan and Ellie, it's been nearly a month. Logan has become more clumsy or Ellie has been extremely clumsy and he's ended up with a bruise because of it. He's also been more hostile with her, they don't think anyone has noticed but we're their best friends. It would be wrong if we didn't know something was up. Neither of them are as happy as they used to be. Ellie wears makeup more often and clames it's because she's trying to be nice to Amy. We don't believe her though. What's the big deal? I just wish I knew what was going one.
Ella... Ella... Ella, I wonder what a month of cutting has done to your wrists? It many ways you are strong but I can see you beginning to break. You can't bare to see your friend like this, he's mad at you and you can't blame him. What are you going to do now Ella? Justin's asked you to hit your friend but you can't do that. You know you can't hurt your friend. It's time to choose.
You or him?
Him or your friendship?
I'm sorry this is really short. It's not the best chapter ever.
I still need help with who it is that hates Ella/Ellie. Does anyone have any ideas?
