Joel - Cutting

Y/N's POV:

I don't know how people can do this. How can they live when people bully them all of the time? I can't tell my brother Joel about it as then he will worry so, the only way I can deal with this is by cutting my arms. It is the only way to deal with it. I have to wear long sleeves as if I wear short sleeves then Joel will see them and then I will be in trouble.

I woke up at around 7.30 am today and I knew that Joel didn't have to go into work early today. I decided to get ready for the day and put on a long-sleeved top with a pair of shorts. I then put on a hoodie on as well. I left my room and saw that Joel wasn't up so, I decided to make some breakfast for both of us. I made us a bacon sarnie and when I finished with making them Joel walked out of his room dressed for work. I saw him look at me funnily, but I shook it off as I wasn't worried. After I ate the bacon sarnie, I grabbed my phone and wallet and left the apartment and went for a walk.

Joel's POV:

I walked to work after I had the bacon sarnie and was thinking that something is wrong with Y/N as she has been wearing long sleeves in the hot weather for a while now. I haven't been worried before as she never left the house when she is wearing long sleeves but today, she left the house in long sleeves and it is boiling today. I walked into the tower distracted by that thought and didn't notice Jethro talking to me. When he put their hand on my shoulder I snapped out of it and looked at them. Jethro then turned around to me and said "You alright mate? You looked like you were in deep thought."

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about Y/N. There is something wrong with her as she has been wearing long sleeves for a while, but she never goes out when she wears them but today, she left the house in the boiling hot weather in long sleeves and now I am worried. There is something wrong with her." I speak.

"How about we all keep an eye out to see if we can see her on the beach today and if she turns up, we will send her up here so you can talk to her," Jethro said. I nod my telling Jethro yes.

---Time skip to 1.30 pm---

It was around 130 pm when I see Y/N enter the tower. I leave Chappo to look after the tower while I go around to the bed with Y/N to talk to her. I grab her by the wrist and bring her around to the bed and when I grab her wrist, I see her have a look of pain in her face. When I get around by the bed I let go of her wrists and roll her sleeves up as when I grabbed her by her wrists she winced. She tries to fight me and stop me from rolling her sleeves up, but I managed to do it. Once I have rolled her sleeves up, I see cuts on her arm and that some of them are fresh cuts. I have a questionable look on her face, and I ask her "Why are there cuts on your arm?"

"I don't know."

"Don't lie to me Y/N."

"Fine. I have been cutting myself."

"Why? What is going on?"

"People have been bullying me and I don't want to worry you, so I have been cutting myself."

"I don't care if you were worried about me worrying. You should have told me"

"I knew you would be like this. This is the reason why I didn't want to tell you." We were arguing for around 5 minutes before Whippet entered the tower and shut us up. I explained to Whippet why we were shouting but then he got us to makeup and Y/N promised not to do it ever again.

When I got home that night, I walked around the house and found all of the razor blades that she was using, and I threw them away so she couldn't do it anymore.
