The phone call lasted an hour before they said their goodbyes and Cheryl hung up the phone
As She walked down the stairs she saw her dad laid lifeless on the floor
She ran over: dad are you okay can you hear me she searched for a pulse but there wasn't one
Tears ran down her face as she called the ambulance
later that day the doctor came out of her dad's room
Cheryl: is my dad okay
Doctor: I'm so sorry he didn't make it I'm so sorry for your loss
Cheryl fell to the floor and broke down into tears
the doctor got on the floor and comforted her until she had calmed down a bit
An hour later Cheryl arrived home and ran straight upstairs she ran a bath stripped off and got in
She started shaving then all of a sudden she found herself gliding the razor over her bare thighs
She felt some kind of comfort doing it so she did it again and again until she snapped out of it and realised what she had done
Cheryl got out the bath and instantly the cuts started bleeding again she had tears streaming down her face and she started to panic
Cheryl: what have I done she said applying pressure to the open wounds
Eventually they stopped bleeding and Cheryl placed thick plasters over her thighs she then put on some baggy tracksuit bottoms and a crop top and went to sleep
3 days go by and Cheryl gets out of bed for the first time in days She had fallen into a pretty dark place so she hadn't eaten in days she sat on the edge of her bed and looked around the dark room and spotted the picture on her bedside cabinet
