A Girl Named Sharpie

Part 1: Chapter 6

'No one likes a freak. Do it'

I poured all the small pills into my hand.

'Don't worry. No one will miss you.'

I brought my hand up to my mouth slowly.

'That's right. Say good bye-'

My thoughts were cut off as I heard someone yell my name the moment I put all the pills in my mouth.

"SHARPIE NO!"

Before another thought could cross my mind I was tackled to the ground and the pills that were being held in my mouth went flying across the room. This action cause me to scream as I fell to the ground with someone on top of me.

I was spun around so that I was looking up at the person. I stared up into the brown eyes of a certain boy named Danger. I felt panic and guilt rise up within me when when I saw the confusion, disappointment, and anger flash across his face.

“Sharpie, what were you thinking!? If I would have been two minutes later you could be DEAD!” He shouted at me.

The caused my tears to run down my face at an even quicker pace. I pushed him off me and sat up and buried my face in my hands.

“Why Sharpie, why? You never even said anything! What could have made you want to do this? I mean why didn't you say something to me!? How could you be so stupid!?” He questioned me when I looked up for a second. I watched as he ran his finger roughly thru his hair and paced back and forth in front of me.

The last ‘why’ and being call stupid was my breaking point.

“You don't know anything Danger! Nothing! You don't know my reasons behind this! You have not been called a freak your entire life! You haven't been screwed over time and time again! You don't known what it is like to live in constant uneasiness! You don't! I have barely known you three weeks and half that time I was not even supposed to be seen talking to you!And don't you dare call me stupid again do you understand me!” I yelled right back at him.

I watched as Danger’s face fell and I watched as his eyes took my face and my current being. He then took a step forward and picked me up off the ground and sat me on the bathroom counter. Then he did something that shocked me.

He wiped my tears away and then pulled me into a hug. I froze at the sudden contact but then I quickly relaxed and hugged him back.

He was right that was stupid for me to do, but somewhere deep within me I wish that he hadn't stopped me.

We sat like this until I heard a voice from outside my bedroom door. We froze.

“Kids its time for dinner!” I heard my moms voice say.

I cleared my throat and spoke up, “Ok mom we will be right there!” I responded in the best fake cheerful voice I could. It seemed to work because I heard my mothers footsteps walking back down the hallway.

I relaxed a bit and laid my head on Danger’s shoulder.

“You need to get help, Sharpie.” I heard Danger whisper after my mom had retreated back downstairs.

I shot up and went riged. “No! Seriously Danger no. Whatever you do please don't tell anyone about this do you understand me? Not your parents, not your cat, and especially not my parents!”

“Um, I don't have a cat?”

I gave Danger a look. “Danger, I am being serious right now. Promise you will not tell anyone, please.” I begged.
