Self Destruction Is Such A Pretty Little Thing

Chapter 31

"You did what now?!" I asked, staring at Ben in disgust. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Ben had cheated on me, I thought he wasn't that Ben anymore. I guess I was wrong.

"Annabelle please-" he didn't have time to finish his sentence.

"I'm gonna rip your fucking head of Bruce!" Screamed Jessica and she charged towards him, only to have Danny stop her just in time. "Let go of me Danny, I don't care if he's your friend I'm gonna kill him!"she struggled to get free from Danny's grip.

"Jessica your pregnant, stop!" Danny commanded and she stopped. Giving Ben her signature glare.

"You have a lot of explaining to do asshole! And we don't wanna hear 'I was drunk' " she yelled. Ben stood there staring at her, no expression in his face. I began to sob.

"He's still drunk, maybe we should-" James started to say but stop when I pushed past him. Before I could go to where I intended to go Ben grabbed ahold of my wrist.

"Let me go!" I demanded. He just held onto my wrist

"Annabelle please" he begged

"No!" I screamed and slapped him around the face with my free hand. He had finally me go of my wrist and looked down. I sniffed and headed to the bathroom.

"Should get some sleep and sort this all out in the morning" I heard James say, before I slammed the bathroom door shut behind me. I leant against the door and slowly slid down it. Once on the floor, I pulled my knees to my chest and placed my head onto them and sobbed my heart out. I was heartbroken, me and Ben were so close why would he do that. Maybe I wasn't good enough for him after all. But the girl he cheated on me with looked exactly like me! I was so confused. I had no other choice. I reached into my jacket pocket and pulled out the razor blade I had brand with me. I knew I was going to need this.

-------Cameron's P.O.V--------
Annabelle had been in the bathroom for over 20 minutes now, I was really worried. While she was gone Jessica had started screaming at Ben calling him names and saying that he was a man whore, the whole time Ben hung his head in shame. In my opinion, Ben deserved every name Jessica had called him. He was in the wrong BIG TIME.

I slipped past Sam and walked towards the bathroom. Once there I knocked.

"Annabelle?"

"Go away!" Sounded from inside, she sounded hurt.

"It's me Cameron, open the door!" I was stood out there for a couple of seconds before o heard the lock. The door opened and she stood there, tears streaming down her face. I sighed and went in, shutting the door behind me. None of us said a word, I pulled her into a hug and she cried harder.

"Shh it's going to be ok"

"I thought he had changed though Cameron" she struggled to say in between sobs.

"I know hunny, we all did for a second but he's obviously proved us all wrong. I know this is hard but you will get through it, I'm sure you have had plenty of break ups"

"Actually, this is only my second one" she informed me. I took a deep breathe and kissed the top of her head. She really was like a little sister to me and I hate to see her upset.

"Annabelle?"

"Yeah?"

"Show me your arms please" she hesitated for a moment but then slowly rolled up her sleeves. Cut covered them once again. I shook my head in disappointment and held out my hand.

"Give it to me" she reached into her pocket and then placed her razor blade in my hand. The whole time she avoided eye contact with me.

"I'm such a failure!" She said sniffing.

"Hey!" I grabbed her face so she was facing me. " You are not a failure Annabelle, don't you ever think that. You was upset and didn't know what to do so you did what you was use to doing. That does not make you a failure. Do you understand me?!" She nodded in agreement. I smiled.

"Thank you Cameron"

"It's no problem, right I'm going to get something for you to sleep in, you can sleep in my bunk tonight and I'll sleep under Ben's, does that sound ok?" She nodded and I walked out of the door.

"How is she?" Sam asked

"Bad, I think the best thing to do right now is keep her and Ben separated until she's ready to listen to him. Where is he anyway?"

"We put him to bed, he's a drunken mess! I'll go tell the other what you suggested" He said and went to walk away.

"Sam!"

"Yeah?" I walked over to him and handed him the blade.

"Get rid of it!" He nodded and then turned to go back to the others. I walked to where Ben and Annabelle kept their clothes and picked out some pyjama bottoms and a white long sleeved top.

I handed her the clothes and waited outside for her to change. Once she emerged from the bathroom, I led her to my bunk. Before I left I made sure she was comfortable.

"Thank you Cameron"

"Anytime" I smiled. "Now go to sleep, we will see you in the morning"
