“I would never do that to you; you are someone I love and cherish.” I held my head and shook it violently; I was scared of myself. “But I couldn't contain myself. I…” I looked down at my chest, forgetting and letting go of my shame. I unbuttoned my shirt, revealing white bandages, slightly pink with blood on top. “You look this.

Jude plops himself on his bed, staring at the ceiling. The image of her wrist was burned into my mind. Those jagged, pale lines, a roadmap of pain etched into her skin. Self-harm. I knew what they were. I'd seen it before. Back in last summer, my friend, Mikey. A quiet, artsy kid who always seemed to be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He hid it well, at first. But then I saw the cuts on his arms, hidden beneath long sleeves. I tried to help. I really did. But I was clueless, and frankly, scared. I didn't know what to say, what to do. I just… I thought maybe he will handle it.

I do not feel pain, I do not know what is happening to me. "My goodness! What are you doing to yourself?! And why is there blood?! Did you do something?!" I just looked at the scream and saw an old woman. I saw that her belongings were already on the floor. All I can see right now is her eyes which were full of concern, she quickly stood beside me and get the wrist that I cut. Before I could speak I was completely blinded by the darkness.

“She was already sick when I got there. She didn’t tell me and took care of me like I was her own son. She died three years later. I was fifteen.” He looked at me then. “After that… I didn’t have anyone.” My heart cracked clean in two. “And the tattoos?” I asked gently. He glanced down at the ink covering his ribs. His chest. His arms. “They are my self-harm,” he said, voice flat. “Instead of cutting, I let the ink sting. Let the needle prick me again and again. I wanted to feel pain. I wanted to feel alive, Kieran.

He blinked sharply, deliberately. “No.”
