Here is an update if anyone is interested. It is still a tad bit triggering...but that part is just about over for now. :)
"C.C, how long have you known me?" Arhen questioned. "You know that I'm always here for you, and you can tell me anything"
"Yeah, but I don't know, "I squeaked. "Wait...are your parents fighting again?"
"Well, yeah."
"About what?"
"Nothing, it's nothing."
"I know it's nothing to you, but it's a whole lot to me."
"Still..."
"That's it, I'm coming over to get you..."
"NO!"
"Whaaa..."
"I mean, damn it, fine, you win, but you don't need to come here."
"Then what do you propose we do?"
"Hmm...I know! I'll meet you under that bridge in the park in half an hour."
"OK, that's fine with me, but are you sure you don't want me to come and pick you up?" Arhen asked
"No, I'm fine walking. Besides, I could use some fresh air. I need some time to think things through," I answered, sliding my razor back in to the nightstand. "Is that alright with you?"
"Yeah, that's fine, he said. "But are you sure nothing's wrong?"
I sighed again, "Look, I'll talk to you about it when we meet up. And..." I paused, trying to choose my words carefully. "I really need to talk to you about something."
"Oh, alright, " He said in a slightly concerned tone.
"Well, I guess I'll be seeing you in a little bit"
"Ok"
"See you soon," I said, "Bye"
"See ya," he said before hanging up the phone.
I exhaled sharply as I set the phone back on the reciever. "At least I'm getting out of this hell hole," I said to myself. I stumbled to my feet, slipping on the blood that trickled out of my wrist.
"Damn it," I swore. "I should probably clean some of this up before I leave. I have time." This was true, the park is maybe five minutes away from my house. I fetched the bloody towel from the bathroom and cleaned up my blood off the floor.
"****," I murrmered, looking down at my sleeve.
