Promises. So easily broken.
Cole's P.O.V.
I looked at Zoe's arm. Fresh cuts covered her arm. I stared at them in shock.
"You said that you would stop." I mumbled.
Zoe sighed. "But I didn't-"I cut her off.
"You made a promise." I said.
"And I kept it. Here's what happened. Every day when I wake up, new cuts appear. I don't exactly know how, but I know that it's not me. I think that it's Sam..."She trailed off.
I raised my eye brows. "Really Zoe? Blaming your cruddy, bitchy, ass-hole, sorry excuse for a mom? Wow. That's low." I let go of her wrist.
Zoe glared at me. "Do you really think that I would lie to you?" She asked.
I pretended to think. "Well, let's see. You told Zane that you stopped being anorexic. You told Zane that you stopped cutting. You-"
Zoe cut me off. "Okay, I said a lot of things. To Zane. But I'm not lying. If you can't see that, then you must be really blind."
A slight pint of anger welled up inside of me. "Listen, I'm telling Zane that you're cutting. You broke your part of the promise, so I'm breaking mine."
Zoe stared at me. "You do know that there's a thing called magic, right? And in Ninjago City, there's a whole lot of it. I mean, come on. We have dragons, ninja with crazy awesome powers, mermaids, fairies, exedra, exedra."
I winced when she said 'mermaid'. My last girlfriend was an evil mermaid. She had almost drowned Ninjago City. And get this, later on, I found out that she wasn't even a girl! Good thing I never kissed her...er, him. That would just be awkward for the both of us. Me especially, 'cause I'm not gay.
(No offense to you gay people. I'M A GAY RIGHTS SUPPORTER! Hey, this was rated T for a reason, peeps)
"Okay, I get it. You're freaked about what Zane will say, but I'm just trying to help you." I tried.
"You know, when someone asks you to keep a secret, maybe because it's for a good reason." Zoe raised an eyebrow.
I got up, and shook my head. "You know, I really thought you were different from other girls. I guess I was wrong." I turned, and left.
Should I tell Zane, or not? Zoe may have been telling the truth. If I tell, then there'll be trouble for nothing. But if I don't and she actually is cutting, then who'll stop her?
Zoe's P.O.V.
I stormed over to the door, and slammed it. I could see Cole walking down the stairs. He was grumbling to himself about trouble, and cutting. I rolled my eyes, and shut down my computer, and put it on my desk. I closed my window, drew the curtains, and plopped down on my bed. I grabbed a pillow, and screamed into it. I felt better already.
Later on, Zane came into my room. I groaned. I can't believe Cole. I am going to kill him. And no, that is not just a figure of speech.
Zane walked towards me, a worried expression on his face. "Cole told me that you cut?" He said in a questioning tone.
I looked at Zane. He had a 'Don't you dare lie to me', look on his face. I sighed.
"Fine, yes. I did." Zane looked like I had just sucker-punched him.
"WHAT?!" And major freak out in three...two...one. "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU CUT!?" He started to say stuff in Latin. I didn't even know he knew Latin. Zane took a deep breath. "Okay, I'm calm. IF YOU EVER CUT AGAIN, I'LL LOCK YOU IN THE BASEMENT, AND TAKE AWAY YOUR PHONE, IPAD, MP3, AND YOU'LL ONLY EAT APPLES AND BREAD!" I gave him a look.
"So much for calm." I noted.
Zane walked towards my bed, and fell backwards on it. He looked at me. "Zoe, why would you do that to yourself? Those scars won't ever fade. You'll have them forever."
I sighed. "I know, Zane. Remember when I was younger, and got bullied a lot?" Zane nodded. "Well, that's when the cutting started."
Zane stared at me in shock."You've been cutting ever since you were nine?" He asked.
I nodded. "Yeah. And I'm not proud, either."
Zane snorted. "Who would be? Look, Cole told me. I know you think that he betrayed you, or whatever, but he cares about you. You know that, right?"
I shrugged. I had mixed feelings about Cole right now. Sure, he's cute, and if you say ANYTHING about that to him, I will personally slit your throat when you're sleeping.
"I get that he cares, but..." I trailed off, not knowing what to say. Zane sat up, and gave me a hug.
"He also told me that you were anorexic." He added.
I pulled away. "Okay, anything he didn't tell you?" I asked.
Zane laughed. "He didn't confess to me that he loves you."
I reached my hand to Zane's right cheek, (I was on his left) and whacked him.
"Ow! What was that for?!" He rubbed his face.
"Just for being you." I replied.
TRIGGER WARNING FOR: CUTTING, ABUSE, ETC.
WARNING: VERY DARK PART, LIKE, REALLY SOON. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
My P.O.V.
Later on that night, Zoe got ready for bed. She turned on her bedside lamp, and got out her new 'Blood of Olympus' book that I want so badly.
Er.. off topic.
She read ten chapters before falling asleep, the light still on.
Cole could see shadows in his room, cast by the lamp and curtain. He saw as someone opened the door to Zoe's room. He assumed it was just Zane. He went back to his video game.
But he was wrong as hell. That person who came in was, wait for it, Samantha. She held a knife in her hand, and a few pieces of rope.
She quickly bound Zoe to her bed. Sam got Zoe's arm, and brought the knife down on it. Usually, The Overlord did it with magic, but he figured that he'd better send out a worker to do it for him.
To clarify, Sam's working with the Overlord.
Zoe's eyes flew open to the feeling of blood dripping down her arm. She blinked the spots out of her eyes, and saw Sam. She was about to shout out, but Sam had gagged Zoe. That bastard. Again, this is why the ratings were T.
Sam kept cutting long stripes down Zoe's arm. She moved onto the next. Then she started on Zoe's legs.
As Zoe got a better look at the cuts, she realized that they were words.
Ugly, fat, stupid, worthless, and useless were written on her right arm. On her left, one whole sentence stood. Nobody loves, or ever will love you.
Tears of pain formed in Zoe's eyes, and the pain wasn't caused by the knife.
Sam looked at he daughters' face. She moved the knife over Zoe's throat, leaving a very thin trail of blood behind. Zoe gasped as the blade dug a little deeper, leaving a thinker trail of blood. She shifted, and pain racked throughout her entire body.
Cole looked up again. He saw the same figure. This time, he saw two pairs of pointy ears bite the shadowy figure. Cole knew that the dogs would never bite anyone they liked. Sam. He thought before throwing on some shoes and running over to Zane's place.
This chapter was hard to write. I got slightly nauseated while writing this chapter. *Shudders* I think that I thought too much about cutting. Blood doesn't bother me. Dunno why.
Sorry for those who didn't like the end of the chapter.
