Anna's POV

I can't
Please
Someone come now
I don't want to

I had hold of the blade between my finger tips, crying. I hadn't actually done it yet but I was thinking about.
"Anna." A voice says cautiously from behind me. I turn around to see Tyler. I throw the blade across the room, Tyler sits next to me and I sob into his shoulder.
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok. Did you do it?"
I shake my head.
"I'm proud of you."
"I don't want him to take me, I don't think anyone understands that."
"Anna, of course we understand, he hurt you. That's enough to scare anyone, but please, don't do this. You are a gorgeous girl who doesn't deserve any of this." He stands up and grabs the blade.
"See this? You don't need this, I promise." He pockets the blade, I assume to get rid of it later.
"Tyler?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you stay? Tonight I need you to stay."
"Of course." I get into bed and he sits next to me, he grabs my ukulele and starts singing softly.

I can't take them on my own, my own
Oh, I'm not the one you know, you know
I have killed a man and all I know
Is I am on the run and go.

Don't wanna call you in the nighttime
Don't wanna give you all my pieces
Don't wanna hand you all my trouble
Don't wanna give you all my demons
You'll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away
But tonight I'll need you to stay

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do

I am up against the wall, the wall
For I hear them coming down the hall
I have killed a man and all I know
Is I am on the run and go

Don't wanna call you in the nighttime
Don't wanna give you all my pieces
Don't wanna hand you all my trouble
Don't wanna give you all my demons
You'll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away
But tonight I'll need you to stay

Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do

Cold nights under siege from accusations
Cerebral thunder in one-way conversations
Oh oh oh oh oh

Don't wanna call you in the nighttime
Don't wanna give you all my pieces
Don't wanna hand you all my trouble
Don't wanna give you all my demons
You'll have to watch me struggle
From several rooms away
But tonight I'll need you to stay
Tonight I'll need you to stay

I shiver at the either Tyler's voice or the cool breeze coming through the widow, hitting my tear-stained cheeks. Tyler uses his thumb to wipe away the tears and pulls the blanket up over my chest.
"Thank you Tyler."
He smiles, placing my ukulele back on its stand and shutting my window.
"And the windowsill looks really nice, right? You think twice about your life It probably happens at night, right?" I mumble to myself but he heard because he smiles and replies.
"The darks not taking prisoner tonight. You'll be ok, it will all work out. Trust me."

Tyler's POV

Something felt off, Anna had gone upstairs but something was wrong. I felt it. I go upstairs and knock on her door. When I don't get an answer, I knock again. Still no response. I open her door to find her sitting in the foetal position on the floor against her bed. She had a blade in her hand but I couldn't see any cuts on her arm, but I knew she still could've cut her thighs or stomach.
"Anna." I say cautiously to not scare her.
"I'm sorry."
She sobs into my shoulder and tells me she didn't do it.
