I dug the blade deeper than I should have, as a scream from outside caught me off guard, "God dammit!" I winced, tossing the blade on the hardwood floor,copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZIR1t4uT3
"Tyler, do not use gods name in vain, you here me boy?" My dad opened the door abruptly, making me jump slightly, and quickly hide my right arm.copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt06LfrElY
"Yeah, sorry." I quickly spat out, hoping that would satisfy him, and to my luck, it did. As he shut the door, I let out a sigh, quickly getting up to throw the razor in a box underneath my bed.copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3pFSaHyUg
I opened up my window, despite the rain, and turned on the radio, changing it to the CD I had it. Apologize by OneRepublic turned on, and I went back to my bed. I pulled the quilt over my head, and curled myself up. Just as I was relaxing, I started to hear yelling,copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQgHHhbMM4
"You're a worthless piece of shit, you hear me?! It's all your fault your mother died!"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpyQvj6WYs
"St-Stop it! I'm sorry!" A familiar cry came out, making me pause to think.copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIvkonu5Wp
"Sorry doesn't cut it, she's dead!"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUgCBXTNKG
"I didn't do anything!" The voice screamed out, making it click. Cameron, it was Cameron. I bit my lip, why did I feel bad? He's an asshole, he's been nothing but rude to me, and Rae. So why? I don't get it...copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA5prBJxyH
"You're pathetic, get out of my house!" There was a slam of the door. Quickly, I went to my window, and looked out. Cameron held his head, and sobbed. Before, I couldn't understand, but after hearing how painful his sobs sounded, I knew why I felt so horrible.copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtpvNOSiTO
I opened my door, and made my way down the stairs, quickly arriving at his doorstep, "Are you okay?"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfJYRlWL8G
"Leave me alone." He grumbled,copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZgwpI88gG
"Let me rephrase myself, do you need a place to sleep? As long as you look presentable, I don't think my parents will care."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfafLX3DgX
"I guess... Thanks."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYccW4xTQF
"Just, uh, wait here, you can't come in looking like that." I ran back in the house, and grabbed a bag, throwing my wallet in it, before coming out again, "Alright, let's go."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhFQO4yWdP
We walked down the streets in a surprisingly comfortable silence, until Cameron decided to revoke it, "Um, what are those?" He pointed to the scars, and cuts on my arm,copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡD24NiQLlt1
"Mind your own business, will ya?" I covered the fresh ones with my hand, but there were too many to get all of them out of sight.copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW0w8XBGQr
"Oh, sorry." Cameron mumbled, looking down.copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqI1gx6Puk
"It's alright." I sighed, making a quick turn into The Icon General Store. Cameron looked dazed for a second, before he ran to catch up, "Grab a cart,"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8mJVFAH13
"Right." He swerved back, and took a cart, "What do we need?"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk0KR9HsPy
"A wash cloth, another bag, some presentable clothes, bandages, a bible, and makeup."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbYCdf9j5D
"Why do we need a bible? What's wrong with my clothes, and why do I need makeup?"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKL1uHG4pH
"My parents are VERY religious, and will only allow you ever if I prove that you are too, how do we do that? We put a bible in the bag, BAM! They'll totally think you're a real Christian.. Hopefully."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8829STiAl7
"If they quiz me, I'm dead."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ej7Qwn0Qt
"Don't worry, I would be too... If they do, just say that I'm teaching you, alright?"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡEudpvI7bMw
"Yeah, and I'm still waiting on the explanation for the makeup and clothes."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVFV4xOm89
"I know. Your clothes are, one, bloody, and two, too... Sloppy, for my parents. The makeup... You have a huge bruise on your face, they don't want punks in their house."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhnNpejMe9
"But I'm not a punk,"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSEti9cqlY
"Well, you look like one... In their eyes."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeUC9ZaXli
"What if I said I was abused?"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QAuDZJXLY
"They would freak out on me, since I'm not supposed to talk to downers."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71RLvaUHAg
"Why? Some people can't help it."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxuAaDzlBV
"And neither can I, but they don't get that, so I'm stuck." I rolled my eyes, "Um.. I'm lost." I stared at the makeup isle mindlessly,copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡEILedpdWmZ
"Same..."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt0MewW9dw
"I'll just call Rae."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT4Uufy4A9
"Okay, um, I'll go get the bandages, a bag and the washcloths."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeSLt5aG2x
"Alright, get a bag of a lighter color, for some reason it'll help." I said, before calling Rae, and getting the help I needed.copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX0GJfdFpq
"I got the stuff, oh hey, you figured it out."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPkhKOxiS7
"Yep, now the bible, and then some clothes." We went into the bible section, and picked up a random one, before heading into the clothes section, "What shirt size?"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSmkDPqOws
"Medium."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcpmT9C6O2
"Alright, here." I pulled out a white button up, "Pant size?"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1SQjCFQVy
"Um, what should I go for?" Cameron's face turned bright red, and he began to mess around with his blonde hair,copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoqkI4a9SG
"Dress pants," I pointed to the rack, and he reached upward, before quickly tossing them face down into the cart, so I wascopyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeS1BLadRZ
"Okay, uh, got them.... Do you have money?"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo08fkKUaG
"Duh."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡs94TuNXEWP
"Well, do you have enough?"copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx4dyFYITQ
"I have more than enough." I slung my backpack off of my shoulder, and unzipped it, pulling out my wallet. We waited for the checkout guy to finish up,copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9fIiu33pe
"That'll be three-hundred eighty-one dollars." He sighed, clearly not enjoying his job. I handed him the money, "Have a good day sir."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRnNKRAIvw
"Y-You too." I waved, ducking as if somehow his words were flying at me, and would hurt if they made contact with me,copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ4C3Di2mc
"You're weird."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3m8MEDPH2
"I know, I can't help it."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qUreFiOnO
"You can control ducking when someone says something that requires a response..."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVEpyI3QLp
"No, I really can't. I have extreme social anxiety, and that is my first reaction."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FtpNf3r5K
"Oh. Sorry."copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9bnAp2Teq
"It's fine," I shrugged, "Let's just get this done and over with, I'm tired." I swung the bathroom door open,copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzmmZU52LQ
"Right," Cameron caught the door, and locked it behind us.copyright protection4ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOvUdjahKg
