Robin sighed and threw on her long sleeved blouse, covering the many scars on her wrists and upper arms. She sighed but suddenly heard the girls locker room door open, she forced a smile and bent over to pick up her shorts off the ground.
" Hey Scar, you feelin' better? I got your stuff for..." she stood up and looked over to where she thought Scarlett was, until she saw Alex, standing there staring at her. Robin screamed and pulled on her shorts as quickly as she could. " WHAT THE HELL YOU PERVERT GET OUT OF HERE!" Alex smirked and walked a little closer to her before pushing to the ground swiftly and kneeling over her.
" Why don't you make me sweet cheeks?" he winked and pinned her arms over her head with one hand.
" Let go of me you're so sick what the hell is wrong with you!"
Alex placed a hand over her mouth and stood up. " Alright, only because you're too cute." he winked and let her go, she stayed on the bench for a moment before sitting up and quickly pulled down her sleeves, she stood up and started to walk out, until a firm hand grasped her wrist. " Hey... are you alright?" he asked.
" Well considering you just tried to rape me..." Robin frowned and tried to pull away from him.
" No I meant this." Alex rolled up her sleeve and looked at the many cuts that trailed up her arm, some looked pretty fresh, while others looked more scarred.
" Yes I cut, big deal." Robin rolled her eyes and pulled away from him.
" Robin..." she looked at him in shock, he always called her dollface or sexy, never once by her real name.
" What?" she growled.
" You shouldn't be doing this you know."
" Yeah no shit Sher-" suddenly she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her and held her tightly.
" Why?" Alex asked, his voice shook and cracked, something was wrong.
" A-Are you sick or something?" Robin asked. Alex blushed and pulled away from her before quickly leaving the room, Robin stared after him in shock, but quickly followed him.
" Alex! Hey wait!" she grabbed his wrist, causing him to stop walking, but he never looked at her.
" What's wrong with you?" she asked in concern.
" Nothin' why are you so concerned?" Alex growled, his voice... something was different. Robin spun him around and looked him in the eye, only to look away within seconds, he was crying. Alex F Jones... the only person who'd ever seen him cry was Scarlett, and that was rare.
" What's your problem, so what if I cut? As if you even care ab-"
" DON'T YOU DARE! DON'T EVEN FINISH TALKING!" he screamed, Alex pushed her to the floor and stormed off, tears quickly welled in her eyes as she pulled herself to her feet and stared after him.
" C-Come back..." she whispered, a hint of longing in her voice. " Please..." she bit her lip and ran off toward the girls bathroom. A hand grasped around the razor in her pocket, if he really cared so much he would come and stop her himself. She ran into the girls room and ran the razor across her wrists and all the way up her arms, watching the bright red liquid drizzle down her arm like a drying river trickling down the riverbed. Her blood and tears mixed on the floor, but she didn't care, she dried her tears and sniffled a little before bending down to clean up the mess on the floor, only for a strong hand to pull her away. She sniffled and watched Alex clean the blood off the floor, the moment he finished he walked up to her and grabbed her arms.
" What did I just say Robin? You don't have to do this anymore! I-I'm worried about you, I don't want you to get hurt. I... I love you..." he whispered softly. " Alex I..." she hugged him and burst into tears in his arms.
" I love you too Alex..." she sniffled and kissed his cheek softly as he wiped away her tears with his thumb.
" So you'll stop now?" he asked, a pleading look in his eyes.
" As long as you're around to watch me."
