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 protection177PENANAxGCddS3gra
"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 protection177PENANAiuCRRl63T4
"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 protection177PENANAnLaV8G2xRE
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 protection177PENANArNd9yPkh1a
"You're a worthless piece of shit, you hear me?! It's all your fault your mother died!"copyright protection177PENANABgHURzDdN8
"St-Stop it! I'm sorry!" A familiar cry came out, making me pause to think.copyright protection177PENANAYxI0yNE5Qz
"Sorry doesn't cut it, she's dead!"copyright protection177PENANAc0I24XYiQx
"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 protection177PENANA9fQgK85JGG
"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 protection177PENANA84iI51wfWv
I opened my door, and made my way down the stairs, quickly arriving at his doorstep, "Are you okay?"copyright protection177PENANAo3KvTc5xEx
"Leave me alone." He grumbled,copyright protection177PENANAStV6jv15sb
"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 protection177PENANAJtXlbilHNY
"I guess... Thanks."copyright protection177PENANA0vuWlvKWu9
"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 protection177PENANAMRvutlQm8A
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 protection177PENANAdNcpzLofn1
"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 protection177PENANAx50Fph4Y9m
"Oh, sorry." Cameron mumbled, looking down.copyright protection177PENANAvotgdrK3Vq
"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 protection177PENANAAFtMCHVAGG
"Right." He swerved back, and took a cart, "What do we need?"copyright protection177PENANAHY4fURoksa
"A wash cloth, another bag, some presentable clothes, bandages, a bible, and makeup."copyright protection177PENANAHUQa0EH8GO
"Why do we need a bible? What's wrong with my clothes, and why do I need makeup?"copyright protection177PENANAIcTdZ3Omxq
"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 protection177PENANAmdiIhoAmZ4
"If they quiz me, I'm dead."copyright protection177PENANAY02IagYxty
"Don't worry, I would be too... If they do, just say that I'm teaching you, alright?"copyright protection177PENANAUR0TbsEIUg
"Yeah, and I'm still waiting on the explanation for the makeup and clothes."copyright protection177PENANARip2f7wYiu
"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 protection177PENANATvkvnYgXNO
"But I'm not a punk,"copyright protection177PENANA5246OIbBwe
"Well, you look like one... In their eyes."copyright protection177PENANAUXIrNkhlj9
"What if I said I was abused?"copyright protection177PENANA8E9riSCoqy
"They would freak out on me, since I'm not supposed to talk to downers."copyright protection177PENANAyUQwqrYdUK
"Why? Some people can't help it."copyright protection177PENANABTUkIkENk6
"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 protection177PENANAwtPmHtO9j3
"Same..."copyright protection177PENANAgcixbTbqbU
"I'll just call Rae."copyright protection177PENANAEWzqXxUaFL
"Okay, um, I'll go get the bandages, a bag and the washcloths."copyright protection177PENANAWFNrrixHAY
"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 protection177PENANAaVsaglskCQ
"I got the stuff, oh hey, you figured it out."copyright protection177PENANAoQYhnQz8SH
"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 protection177PENANAI46s8zp72r
"Medium."copyright protection177PENANA2GQDJBKpYS
"Alright, here." I pulled out a white button up, "Pant size?"copyright protection177PENANA2SeK4yUS8z
"Um, what should I go for?" Cameron's face turned bright red, and he began to mess around with his blonde hair,copyright protection177PENANAWv1GxVQdUa
"Dress pants," I pointed to the rack, and he reached upward, before quickly tossing them face down into the cart, so I wascopyright protection177PENANATafj7C5vZz
"Okay, uh, got them.... Do you have money?"copyright protection177PENANAr9lAZ5ObSx
"Duh."copyright protection177PENANAa7Y4P5MHk9
"Well, do you have enough?"copyright protection177PENANAcoeRFbVhh0
"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 protection177PENANAj3FKAVd7GJ
"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 protection177PENANATUgIKWekky
"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 protection177PENANAfiaY7GdaRt
"You're weird."copyright protection177PENANABlVKr0WnDd
"I know, I can't help it."copyright protection177PENANA4qYYd2wrT3
"You can control ducking when someone says something that requires a response..."copyright protection177PENANAomeu62BpsY
"No, I really can't. I have extreme social anxiety, and that is my first reaction."copyright protection177PENANApOp18qCaQE
"Oh. Sorry."copyright protection177PENANADFGbz8H5Pi
"It's fine," I shrugged, "Let's just get this done and over with, I'm tired." I swung the bathroom door open,copyright protection177PENANAnmUfjcTMzA
"Right," Cameron caught the door, and locked it behind us.copyright protection177PENANAZ41vLmVb4s
