A Cry for Help
Chapter 2
Nikki woke up the next morning hearing birds chirp wishing she could enjoy the sound but she could think of was the distinct tingling in her left arm knowing that in a few moments it will start to itch. That's what always happened when her addiction kicked in that one spot in her arm would start tingling then itching then it would start throbbing with pain in the one spot that was just begging to be cut sliced or carved. She needed to stop she knew it she knew that it was horrible to harm yourself but she also knew it was the only thing that made her feel safe it was the only thing that made her feel better.
She staggered out from under the covers and over to her dresser and fumbled through her jewelry box until she found the shiny sharp piece of metal that she had made friends with over the past few years. She pulled her sleeve up and ran the razor up the inside of her arm as the blood trickled she felt the feel of sweet release come over her she let out a sigh of release and stood up she floated over to her dresser and grabbed the clothes she planned to wear that day and dressed she grabbed her bag from beside her door and slowly opened it she walked down the stairs and out her front door and out to the car she bought with three years of savings and allowance she drove down the six miles to "Sea Crest Senior High school" and found a parking spot she walked to her locker and found her friend Meg standing by it waiting for her.
"Hey" Nikki said smiling.
"Hey babe" Meg said smiling back.
"What's wrong sweet heart" Meg asked softly Nikki just looked up and Meg knew exactly what was wrong.
"Oh Nikki" she said pulling Nikki into a hug.
"What did he say to you" Meg asked
"He just yelled a lot then he hit me"
"Nikki you need to get some help, and not just for the abuse from your dad but also for the abuse to yourself" Meg said
"Shawn saw the bruise" Nikki said tearing up
"Oh God, What did he say?"
"He asked me what happened and I told him I got hit in the eye in gym" Nikki said sounding disappointed in herself. Just then the bell rang.
"Shit" Nikki said slamming her locker door.
"I'll see you later" Nikki said heading in the direction of her first class. Meg watched her best friend leave and all she could do was worry Meg knew she would have to wait till Nikki was ready to get help before she would let anyone in. Little did Meg know but Nikki would not be waiting much longer
