Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 5

TW: Self-harm

Elisa was alone in their room. They looked at the self-harm scar on their leg that they had made earlier and felt a bit of regret. They decided to text Sophie to let her know.

Elisa: Hey. You awake?

Sophie: Yeah, why? What's up?

Elisa: I need you.

Sophie: Self-harm?

Elisa: Yeah.

Sophie: Do you want me to call Ian and Anthony?

Elisa: Maybe later.

Sophie: Okay, I'll be as quick as I can.

Elisa: Thanks.

Sophie: No problem babe <3.

Sophie drove as fast as she could but ended in a car crash. I'm kidding she walked to them. After Elisa showed her the scar, both of them decided to text Ian and Anthony.

Elisa: SOS

Ian: Elisa, are you okay?

Anthony: Where are you?

Sophie: They're with me, we just want you to show you something.

Anthony: Are they at their house?

Elisa: You mean at my parent's house? Yes.

Ian: Okay, we're on our way.

When they arrive they see the scar on Elisa's leg.

"What? How did you... why didn't you..." Anthony said, stuttering.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Ian said, finishing Anthony's sentence.

"I didn't want to scare you," Elisa explained.

"What do you mean scare us? You should have just told us," Anthony said, really frustrated.

"Hey, Anthony. Calm down," Ian said.

"I just don't understand. I thought you trusted us," Anthony said.

"I do, it's just," Elisa started. "I knew you would react this way and that's not what I need right now,"

Anthony sighs. "Fair enough,"

"What can we do to help?" Ian said.

"I don't know. Maybe try not yelling at me," Elisa said, looking at Anthony.

They all laughed.

"Elisa, just remember. We are all here for you and we want to help you," Sophie said.

"Yeah, I know," Elisa said.

Before they left, Anthony told Elisa to tell their parents about this.

"I'll try," they answered.
