Depression

Depressed

"Knock knock" Gabby jumped, she put the knife under the blanket and pulled her sleeve down. She didn't want anyone in her family to see them. Jackie walked in "You can uncover the knife it's just me." Gabby stood up and Jackie grabbed her and kissed her. When they were done Gabby sat back down on the floor and uncovered the knife. Jackie sat on the bed with her phone. "What's wrong this time?" Jazmin asked kind of sarcastically. Gabby ignored her and proceeded to cut herself. Jackie ignored this and then said "Oh yah I brought the stain remover for your shirt." "Thanks," said Gabby a little angry. After a couple of minutes, Gabby stood up and went to the bathroom to clean up. She stuck the knife in her makeup bag and then walked back into her room. She sits right next to Jackie and cuddles with her. They lay there for hours, hugging, kissing, and talking. Finally, Jackie leaves and Gabby gets in bed for Pre 1st tomorrow.

                                                                               Madison's POV

I look down at my hands and cry, "I can't believe what is just felt." (BACKSTORY) ON Thursday Gabby came into Madison's last period class to ask her friend Alexia if she would go to the locker room with her, when Alexia said she couldn't she asked Madison. "Yeah I'll go," said Madison. Madison and Gabby were really close since they used to hang out all the time in pulse and Madison likes Gabby's brother. When Madison went to grab Gabby's hand to see what she had drawn on it, she accidentally grabbed Gabby's arm instead. (The Present) My hands feel weird, I can still feel them on my fingers. I can remember exactly how they felt and I want to cry. I grab my phone to try and distract myself from the feeling on my fingers. I look at my messages and see Makayla left me a text. "Hey want to come over in like 10 min, maybe sleepover? I'll drive u to school tomorrow" sent Makayla. "Yah be there in a few, sleepover! YAY!" I replied. I pack my clothes when a thought popped into my head. "Does Antonio (Gabby's brother) know about Gabby cutting herself?" I knew I couldn't focus on it now I had to get to Makayla's house. "Ding Dong" I text her, "Doors open" she texts back. When I take a few steps in the door I get really dizzy, then everything went black and I fainted.

                                                                                   Gabby's POV

"Uhhh" I look at the clock "Only 12:52, I'm going to die in P.E." I rub my arm and realize it's swollen and red. I walk to the bathroom and get the irritation rub. I looked in the mirror and just start bursting out crying "Why...Why?" Crying immensely Gabby buries her head under the blankets and starts slowly falling asleep. (Gabby's dream) I just woke up from my alarm clock, searching to turn it off. Finally, it stops and now I have to get dressed, there were only short-sleeved shirts and shorts. Gabby didn't mind that much, but she didn't want everyone seeing her cuts. I ran to the bus and got to school in a second. I'm in the locker room holding Madison from leaving. She told me she didn't like Jackie, but she won't tell me why. Then she tells me it's because Jackie doesn't stop me from cutting myself, but I don't understand why she cares so much. (Dream Finished)

                                                                               Madison's POV

"W...What happened?" I asked wearily. "You fainted... When was the last time you have eaten?" asked Makayla. "I don't remember. Why?" I answer lying.

"You fainted because your because your blood sugar is so low"

"That's weird, I don't know why?" I said sounding a little suspicious

"Don't lie to me, because it's kind of obvious now!"

"Fine...just calm down...How do you feel about someone cutting themselves?" I asked worried about the response.

"Well, I would be very upset. As I told you before these are sensitive topics that I have strong opinions on! Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh are you okay???"

"I'm fine, I really am, I just don't know what to do...Gabby's cutting herself!" I start bursting out crying. Makayla tries to comfort me. We fall asleep trying to figure out what to do.
