Shattered

Chapter Twelve

I was nothing but fine but how could I tell Colby that? How can I look in Colby's eyes and tell him I am tramutized from that prank?

I can't do it. I love Colby and just making him sad would be heartbreaking to me. I wouldn't want him to go through any pain.

"Sam? I'm going to lunch. Are you coming?" Colby asks as he opens my door. I look at him and shrug my shoulders.

"I'm not dressed." I say looking at him. He gives me a smile and shakes his head.

"Then get dressed. Come on we're going out to lunch with Corey and Elton."  Colby says heading over to the closet and throwing black jeans and a basic red shirt at me.

I roll my eyes but slowly get up anyways. I walk into the bathroom and lock the door. Removing my shirt I notice the lines on my arms.

Dragging my hand down the lines I start to feel my eyes tear up.

I'm just a burden. I shouldn't be so tramutized but I am. I am which causes me to cut because it's the only thing that gets rid of the pain, as crazy as it sounds.

I shouldn't be with Colby. I shouldn't be causing him so many things. I should just leave.

Leave.

That's exactly what I'll do.

Getting dressed quickly and doing my normal routine I walk out into the kitchen.

"Colby you can go have lunch with Elton and Corey" I say quietly. He looks at me weird.

"What why?"

"One of my friends texted me. They said they want to hang out so I'm heading to their place." I say to Colby. He nods his head and says okay.

I turn around and leave the apartment sighing in relief. Walking down the hallway I finally make it outside.

Run.

Don't come back.

Leave.

Stop being such a burden.

And that's exactly what I did. I listened the the voices and I ran away.
