Abby's P.O.V

I made three cuts. I cried each time I did one. I can't I'm cutting again....

The Next Day:

I made sure that I wasn't wearing any short sleeves. I can't let Jack see that I am cutting again.

"Hey," Jack said.

"Hi," I said.

"Do you want to do anything today?" I asked.

"No thanks. I rather just stay here and watch tv," I said.

"Come on you need to go out," he said

"No thanks," I said.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said. He sighed.

"Well I'm going to hang out with Beth today, see you later."

He walked out. I don't understand why he is so mad. I mean is it that bad if I don't want to go out. I sat and watch TV. I looked at my phone a few times, no texts.

1 hour later:

Jack still wasn't home. I was so bored. I didn't know what to do. A few minutes later I got a call. Jack.

~Phone Call~

"Hi," I said.

"Hey, I'm going to be late home is that okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, no problem."

"Okay. See you later. Love you."

"Love you too."

~End of the Phone Call~

What is there to do? I went to the bathroom. I opened the draw that hide my blade. I picked up my blade and stared at it. I put the blade to my skin. What was I doing?

I didn't know what I was doing...all I know is that I started cutting.

Jack's P.O.V

"Why isn't Abby here?" Beth asked.

"I don't know. I guess she's not in the mood to go out. I don't know it's like ever since her dad left she's been acting very strange," I said.

"Oh," she said.

"Yeah. I just wish she can tell me what's wrong," I said.

"I think that we should go back to your house and check on her," she said.

"Yeah, okay."

Abby's P.O.V

I sat on my phone. All of sudden I see Jack and Beth coming through the door.

"Hey!" Beth said.

"Hi?"

"We just wanted to come here and check on you," Beth said.

"I'm good," I said.

"Yeah...but we don't want to leave you here all alone," she said.

"Thanks," I said.

"No problem," she said.

"Well I'm just going to go to the bathroom, be right back."

I went into the bathroom. Why are they here? Was this Jack's or Beth's idea? Oh who am I kidding, of course it was Beth. Jack didn't even look like he wanted to be here.

I grabbed my blade.

Beth's P.O.V

"I will be right back Jack," I said.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"I'm just going to check on Abby," I said.

"Okay," he said.

I walk to the bathroom. I heard Abby crying. I opened the door.

"What the hell!"

Abby's P.O.V

I looked to see Beth.

"Beth!"

"What are you doing?!" she asked.

"Nothin-Nothing!"

She closed the door.

"What is this?" she asked. She picked up my blade.

"Okay....I've been cutting," I said.

"Why?"

I really didn't know how to answer that.

I just shrugged.

"I have to tell Jack about this," she said.

"Wait! No, no, no, no, you can't do that!"

"And why shouldn't I?" she asked.

"Beth please," I said.

"I can't let you just keep self-harming yourself," she said.

"Since when did you start caring about me?" I asked.

"Ever since I've been with Marcus. He's been teaching me how to be nicer to people," she said.

"And if you want to become a lot nicer to me than you would not tell Jack about this," I said.

"I don't know..."

"Please," I begged.

"Fine."

This was a decision I will soon later regret. Keeping this secret ,from Jack might be the stupidest thing I will ever do, but I just can't tell him...
