On with the story!!
The next morning Ellie woke up in Sean's arms. At first she was confused. But when she saw a shining red cut on her arm, all the night's events came flooding back to her. She sighed deeply upset at herself for causing the only one who loved her, the only one who cared, so much pain. She got out of bed carefully and quietly as to not disturb Sean. She looked at her watch and saw that she had half an hour before Sean would wake up. Not being able to bear the chance of seeing Sean's worried face again, she decided to go to school without him. She took out a piece of paper and quickly scribbled,
"Sean-
I went to school early. I'll see you there.
Love, Ellie"
Ellie went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, her hair, and picked up the knife in the sink, washing the blood off and placing the knife carefully in her bag. She picked up the bag and went to school.
The day went by uneventfully until she reached English. She hadn't done an assignment that counted as a very big grade. All night, she had been trying to stop herself from cutting. Not that it worked. But she was concentrating so hard on that, that she didn't do the assignment. As she was sitting in class listening to Kwan lecture her, she had a sudden pain shoot through her left arm. She recognized the pain instantly. It was the numbness she got when she felt like cutting. A painful numbness. It was too strong and she knew she wouldn't be able to control it. So while everyone else in the class was paired up, editing each others' assignments, Ellie came up with the perfect excuse to be able to go to the bathroom with her bag.
"Mrs. Kwan," She interrupted the lecture. "Uh, sorry to interrupt, I'm pretty sure I just got my period, can I go to the bathroom?" With a disapproving nod, Mrs. Kwan consented. Ellie walked out of the room in a calm way so as to not arouse the classes' suspicion. The second she reached the hall she started running. She barged into the bathroom and after checking that no one was in it, she ripped out the knife, pulled up her sleeve, and made the longest cut she had ever made on her arm. The cut went from the very tip of her wrist, where the wrist meets the hand, all the way up to the middle of her lower arm. She sighed in satisfaction, washed the cut, and put the knife away. She walked out of the bathroom and saw Sean at a water fountain very close by. Ellie couldn't lie to Sean and she knew that if he saw her at that moment she would tell him what she had just done. Therefore, she hoped that Sean wouldn't notice her. However, she had to walk past him to get back to class. So she did, hoping that he wouldn't see her since he was busy drinking. No such luck, though, because as soon as she was past him Sean grabbed her by the arm just so he can say hi. Her left arm. Ellie winced in pain. Sean knew that Ellie was physically strong, and she could easily handle the pain from last night's cut. Therefore, he knew that in order for Ellie to wince like that, she had to have a new cut.
"Ellie..." He took her hand and led her to the girls' bathroom, not caring that he wasn't allowed in there. Once they were in the bathroom, Sean took Ellie's arm and pulled up her sleeve. He was greeted by a bleeding cut.
"Ellie." He said again. "Come on, baby, what's going on?" Worry and love dripped from his voice. Ellie just looked down. Sean took a piece of paper towel and gently pressed it against the bleeding cut. The blood caused the paper to stick in place so Sean was able to pull Ellie and a tight hug.
"Sean, I'm so sorry." Ellie sobbed. It seemed lately that Ellie couldn't do anything that dealt with cutting without crying. "I'm sorry to put you through so much."
"You're not, Ellie." Sean said softly. "I love you with all my heart and I'll do anything for you. Don't stress yourself by thinking that you're ruining my life or anything. You're only making it better." Sean knew that Ellie understood that it did hurt him that she was cutting, but he also knew that she also understood that he was happy that he was the one who helped her. Because when someone loves someone, they are the ones who want to help.
It's not good. I'm sorry. I'm especially sorry that there isn't much dialogue. I know that I hate it when stories don't have dialogue. But please don't stop reading. Please excuse this chapter. I promise next one will have more dialogue and it will be better. Please review! And thank you to all my reviewers!
