Scars and Smiles

Chapter 1 First Cut Starts The Habit
The rain fell down in heavy sheets as the tiny rain drops splattered against Maria's bedroom window. Maria led on her comfy bed trying to enter dream land so she could sleep peacefully. But the rain kept on falling down, hitting her roof causing an echoing throughout her house. She really wanted to fall asleep because the numerous thoughts that were inside her head were awaking. She didn't want to think about anything. She wanted to fall asleep. But that never happened. Every night she would always think about Michael and how he treated her. She would also ask herself why she stayed around in Roswell to help the aliens. Protecting the aliens had became her life. Right now she wanted her life back. She wanted to do her own thing, she wanted to sing. The only thing that was stopping her from leaving was Michael. Even though he treated her like crap, her heart belonged to him.
Maria got up from her bed, walked over to her window and closed it. As she passed her desk, she saw something that glistened in the moonlight. She looked down and saw her pink razor. Maria stared at the razor, like she was frozen in time. She knew it was wrong but she needed to escape. She grabbed the razor and walked quickly to the bathroom. She locked the door behind her and headed to the sink. Maria stared at her own reflection, longing to find the answers to all her problems. Instead she found a young girl who was hanging by a thread. She grazed the razor along her skin, until the temptation go too much. She dug the razor into her flesh. She grimaced at the pain but soon smiled. It felt good. She dropped the razor into the sink and watched the trail of red crimson blood run down her arm. Then she hear her mom faintly cough as she rinsed off the razor. She rinsed off her arm and placed a white bandage over it. Then she went back to her bed, smiling as she drifted off into a peaceful dream.
