I look up from my bloody arm to a frozen Derrick.

"Massie? Are you okay? What happened?" He said frantically, "Do you need to go to the hospital?" He was talking extremely fast, obviously panicking from seeing the

scarlet color flowing out of my arm.

"Derrick! I'm fine. Get out." I yelled, trying to get him away before he saw too much. He quickly took of his shirt, revealing his chisled abs and grabbed my arm, wrapping

his white shirt around it. The fabric was soft and gentle on my open wound, and the bleeding was stopping. I jerked my arm away from his grip with all of my strength.

"Massie, just give me your arm. I can help you!" He said, still panicking. I kept trying to get away, but he was stronger than me and had a good grip on my arm. He

touched the bare skin on my arm, causing tingles to shoot up my arm. He took the now bloodied shirt and cleaned off the rest of the blood, revealing the previous scars.

They were hideous, trailing up my entire forearm, but yet, they were my only way out, away from it all. He looked up at me with wide eyes and the blade slipped out of my

hand, making a soft clinking noise as it tumbled onto the floor. Before I could grab it, he shot down to the ground, snatching it in his hand. His panic was now replaced

with fear.

"Why?" He whispered softly, gesturing to the blade and the scars, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"

"Don't say a word to anybody" I ordered him, but I could see he wasn't giving up.

"You need help!" he argued, his warm brown eyes full of concern.

"I don't need anything from you and you know what it would do to Cam if he found out. I know you wouldn't do that to him!" Derrick looked remorseful, niether of us could

do that to him. Cam is the most amazing person I know, he doesn't deserve any pain, something like this would destroy him.

"Don't cut again." He told me seriously, his eyes intense.

"Whatever you say." I said saracastically. " Leave now."

"I knew you were hiding something. You still are. I can read you Massie Block, you act as if you've had a lobotomy, no feelings, no emotions, but I know that isn't true.

Next time your going to cut, knock on my door and tell me. I don't care what time it is, just let me know. If I'm not there call me." He said, his blonde hair falling into his

eyes.

"Okay..."

"Massie, do you promise?" He asked me desperatley.

"I promised." I told him, but I don't know if I can keep that, the memories take control of me.

DERRICK POV

I softly close the door to Massie's room and head to the bathroom to wash the blood off of my hands. The blood. Her blood. Massie's blood. On my hands. On my arms.

Everywhere. I still couldn't grip the concept of Massie hurting herself to such an extent. I go to the sink and the ice cold water hits my arm, suddenly waking me up to

reality. I take a deep breath and look in the mirror, seeing the same face that I see everyday, brown eyes and dirty blonde hair that could use a cut. I look exactly the

same, but everything seems different. How can my life go on like usual, when someone else's is spiraling out of control? I walk across the hall silently, turn off the light an

lay down. The clock says 12:01 but I can't fall asleep, everytime I close my eyes I see Massie with blood flowing out of her arm, but this time I can't help her, and she's

asking for help, she can see me but my feet are glued to the ground. I open my eyes quickly to make it all stop and slowly step up from my bed and walk into Cam's room.

Cam was still awake, he doesn't go to sleep until around 2 am during the holidays.

"Hey! Did you have a fun night?" He said, his eyes energetic. When I didn't respond he could tell something was wrong. Cam can always tell when something isn't right,

it's his sixth sense.

"Whats going on?" he asked me concerned. I looked at him, wanting to tell him what had occured tonight, but seeing the happiness in his eyes took my words away. How

could I throw that onto such a wonderful person.

"Nothing. Just curious, whats the deal with Massie, why is she here?" I asked him,

"Really Derrick? I get asked that 50 times a day, she's staying here," He said, annoyed.

"Cam, why is Massie staying here? Really." I asked him seriously and his eyes averted to the ground, then back to me.

"Dude, I don't know the details really, some things happened and if you want to know, shes going to have to tell you." He told me, looking at me seriously with his blue

and green eyes.

"Ah! A challange!" I joke, but instantly feel disgusted with myself for making a joke when something so horrible is happening to Massie. Cam's face get's angry.

"If you hurt her, I swear to god-" He starts, but I interrupt.

"Don't worry, I was just curious, Good night!" I say walking out the door. This is going to be harder then I thought, but I need to find out what happened, I need to help

her. I lay down in my bed, wrapping myself in the cool sheet, close my eyes and let the picture of her sad amber eyes lull me to sleep.
