Red. All I see is red. Come to think of it, red is a very nice colour. Represents a lot of things. Love....blood. The knife presses deeper. More red. I squeal in delight. Red takes away my pain. Physical pain is always better than mental. That's what I think.

Hmn! I don't care about what those girls said. I don't care that my family is gone. I don't care that Raiha broke up with me. I don't care that my friends don't bother about me anymore. I DON'T CARE.

I sigh. I've been thinking of moving away, changing my name. Too bad I've got no guts to it. I look down. Ah red...so beautiful as it forms into a puddle. Looks so silky and thick. Like syrup. The coppery scent is in the air. I inhale deeply. I like the coppery smell. It helps. I've got to go to school soon, not that anyone would care if I didn't. However, might rouse suspicion if I keep skipping it. I sigh again. I like sighing. Comfortable thing to do.

I hear my doorbell ring, wonder who it is. I stay quiet, waiting for a voice or sigh to help me figure out who it is. Few second later, I can hear familiar voices which had started fading off a few weeks ago. Recca, Yanagi, Mikagami, Domon, Kaoru, Ganko. Why were they here? Never mind, let them be. I'm safe here, they cannot find me. Then I hear the lock opening. Oh damn! I forgot! Yanagi has an extra key!

I rush around frantic to clean up the mess. They would sure know. Damn their sharp senses! I rush for my towel to mop up the mess on the floor, forgetting that the knife was still in my wrists. Accidentally, I hit a main vein. Damn. Blood's flowing out fast. I stare at my hand in horror. What have I done? I start feeling light-headed. Too much loss of blood. Guess the earlier cuts took more blood than I had expected. 

My vision becomes hazy. I lean against the bathtub, staring at the pools of blood on the floor and the stains on my shirt. Oh well, at least I get to see my favourite colour before I die, but will I die? I hear them entering the house. Too late. I'm already gone, I think to myself as black took over red.
