Chapter 5: I'm my own worst enemy

Ellie walked to the bathroom and ran inside a stall after seeing that she wasn't alone in the bathroom. She heard Emma and Manny talking and while she waited for them to leave, she locked the door and climbed up onto the toilet and sat down. She pulled her arm warmer off and peeled off the band-aids and looked at the cut, standing out against the scars.

She heard the girls leave and then she pulled her arm warmer back on and wrapped her arms around herself and leaned forward.

What was wrong with her? What happened to the punk girl she use to be? Not caring what anyone said about her, but now when she heard people talking about her she took it too literal. She just wanted to hurt herself.

I'm my own worst enemy, she concluded.
