"Rin, hurry up and get the hedger and start hedging!" I yelled.
"Yeah I'm going. Just wait!" Rin yelled back.
"Leo, start weeding the gardens!"
"I'm on it!" Leo mumbled.
I started up the lawn mower and started mowing the lawn. Rin hedged the hedges and Leo weeded the gardens. In 4 hours the yard was cleaned up. The house looked like someone owned the property just not the house. The house looked like I could fall apart any moment. The gardens were really bare.
"Sir, would it be okay if you gave us some money to buy flowers for the garden?" Leo asked the old man.
"Sure, take this." The man gave Leo a hundred dollar bill.
"Thanks."
Leo started walking to the shops while Rin and I tried to fix the house.
"Rin, there's a hole here." I yelled.
"Storm, just wait! Okay?! Let's work on the roof first!" Rin yelled, he was getting frustrated.
After fixing the roof we fixed all the walls and started painting the house. Leo soon came back and planted the flowers he had bought and it was time for lunch.
"Kids, you've worked real hard today. I've made y'all some sandwiches." The man smiled, patting each of is on the back.
"If you don't mind us askin, what's your name?" Rin asked.
"I'm Fred. I've lived her since I was born and me Ma lived here since she was too."
"Fred, is it okay if we call it a day today and paint the house tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yeah, you kids worked real hard have as many breaks as you want."
Later that night after dinner, everyone went to bed. I couldn't sleep. I had an urge to hurt myself, I felt like I needed to bleed. I ended up finding a pair of scissors and cutting my wrists with them. I felt electric go through me, I felt strong for once.
"Hey, Storm. How'd you sleep?" Rin asked.
"Great! How about you two?" I asked.
"Same." They both smiled.
We walked into the kitchen only to find paint on the bench.
We painted the house the colour of the pain that was on the bench, Red.
"It looks great now!" I smiled. High fiving Leo and Rin.
"All we have to do is clean the house and we'll be okay to leave whenever we want without feeling bad." Rin said.
"Let's start right now."
Once we cleaned the living room we gave up and fell asleep.
Rin's POV
"R-Rin?" I heard a quite voice ask, I slowly opened my eyes to see Storm, covering her face.
"Storm? What's wrong?" I asked, quickly standing up and hugging her.
"I can't tell you. You'll hate me." She whispered.
"What's wrong? You know I could never hate you."
"I hurt myself, that's all."
"Oh God, no. Please don't tell me you-" she cut me off.
"I cut myself."
"Baby, no. Let me see."
"No."
I grabbed her arm and pulled up her sleeve. The blood soaked the sleeve and blood running down her arm.
"Storm, please never do this again."
"It feels nice. Why do you want me to stop?"
"I don't care how much you like it, you need to stop this!" I yelled.
"What the fuck, Tylah?! Why the fuck would you do this to yourself!" Leo ran in, grabbing storm and hugging her.
"It feels nice." She said again.
"Stop, okay?"
"It feels nice."
That whole night all she said was "it feels nice", she said nothing else and Leo and I didn't get a wink of sleep.
"Morning, Fred." I smiled, spotting Fred.
"Hi, son. How'd you sleep?" He asked.
"Good."
Storm walked down with us, she looked horrible.
"Sweetheart, are you okay? You look rather pale?" As soon as Fred said that Storm collapsed onto the ground and started shaking like someone having an epileptic fit.
I ran to her and held her.
"Tylah, baby, wake up. It's okay." Leo screamed.
"Fred, call an ambulance!" I shouted.
Fred grabbed his 70s phone and called 000. An ambulance arrived out the front in no time.
