Remembering The Pain - And Learning To Heal
The Shower...
!"Ash I said 15 minutes!" Andy yelled at me from the bedroom. I groaned and tried to make the water warmer, but all the hot water was gone. The water that was falling was really cold, but I didn't move. I turned the water colder, but noticed a sharp pain in my left arm. I looked down to see a jagged line cut into my arm, and a razor in my right hand. I stared at the blood that tricked down my arm and into the drain. It didn't hurt any more. Just felt numb. I felt numb...
*Flashback*
Breathing hard and wiping the sweat from my forehead, I collapse on top of Thalia.
"That was amazing babe." She whispers as I pull out of her and reposition myself at her side. The room we're in is hot and the blanket has long ago fallen onto the floor. Looking back to her, I noticed she looked worried.
"What's wrong hun?" I murmur stroking her cheek. Her bright green eyes that look up at me are full of tears.
"I don't think I can be here anymore."
*End Flashback*
"Ashley! Get out of the shower NOW!" I jumped. Andy's voice surprised me. The razor in my hand slipped and went down the drain.
"Shit." I murmered. 'What am I gonna use now I thought.' I continued to stand under the water to think when Andy shouted at me again.
"Ashley. Purdy. Get. Out. Here. Now." 'Ugh. Why can't you just leave me alone to die?' Thinking other, not nice things about Andy, I pulled back the curtain and wrapped the towel around myself. Not bothering to put on my boxers I walked toward the door, when I saw my reflection in the mirror. The cut on my arm wasn't the only one...
