Ella's POV
I looked at it. I know I shouldn't, but I need it. I knew I shouldn't, I gave them up-- God will understand.
I grab the enemy and climb out the window and go up on the roof. I open the box and pull death out.
I light it up and breathe in the chemicals. I look at the moon and just start sobbing
I must of been sobbing loud, because then there was a soft knock on the door
"El", Henry tried
I ignored him
"El", he said getting closer to the window
"Go away", I said between sobs
"Make me", he challenged
I just put the smoke back in my mouth
"Can I have some", he asked
I just ignored him
"I'm not as good as I look you know", he said
"I used to smoke and drink", he continued
Silence
"So I ask again, can I have some", he asked
I thought about it and handed it over. He sucked it an never even swallowed. He just threw it
"I'm sorry. I may of been a badass, but I didn't smoke"
"You wanna come in, it's cold"
I shake my head
"I get it", he said
"You know, I know what you're going through", he said
"No, no you don't", I finally said
"But I do"
"How", I ask refusing to look at him
"You know where my dad is? Mhm? Prison"
Silence
"Son of a bitch molested me every day of my fucking life. For 6 years after I turned 5. I thought it was normal, that every dad did it"
"Shit", I mumbled
"So it's not just you, who is suffering okay", he said getting mad
"So you know what, you sit here and cry about how much you're gonna let a low life jackass ruin your whole life. I'm going to my room"
He ducked through the window and slammed the door
Maybe he's what I need. Maybe he can help me through it?
I finally came inside and I went to his door, I tried to open it, but it was locked
Bullet to the heart that was. I went to my room and tried to sleep, missing the warmth.
#$%^&*&^%$#
Henry's POV
She tried to get in, but the door was locked. Why? Because I was crying into my pillow. I don't know why I got so mad when I was out there with her. I was in the same position as her back then. Maybe because it happened to me for years, and only to her for 20 minutes. Either way I feel asleep cold and empty.
