Chapter Three: Help Me

Rating: T

--------------------------------------

Jude slammed her bedroom door shut. What had she done? Jamie had just witnessed her bleed her heart out for another guy. A guy that didn't even want her!

I'm losing everyone. My best friends. My family. Everyone.

Jude stared at herself in her mirror. Her hair was messy and she had eyeliner running down her face. You're such a slob no wonder nobody like you. But Jamie does and I ruined that!

Jude felt anger towards herself for the first time. She felt like such a horrible person and everything was her fault.

Jude picked up a pair of scissors off her bureau. She walked backwards until her legs hit her bed and she sat. Jude extended her left arm, gripping the scissors in her sweaty right hand. She put the sharp edge on her light skin and slid it across with pressure.

Jude gasped as she watched a thick red substance escape out the small slice. It wasn't too shallow or too deep. The pain hit her with a traumatic jolt. She dropped the scissors on her bed and got up. Jude opened her door quietly, keeping her arm held at an angle to keep the blood from dripping down. She walked steadily towards the bathroom, which at that moment, felt millions of miles away.

She finally reached the bathroom and went inside, locking the door behind her. Jude turned on the faucet and put her arm under the cold running water. After her arm looked clean, Jude grabbed a small towel and held it against her injury. Seconds later the blood began to seep through the cloth. Jude leaned against the bathroom wall and slid downward until she sat on the cold tile. She held the cloth firmly against her work and closed her eyes.
