Ozzy
I pick up Richelle once we got to my house and rushed her in. She's losing a lot of blood. I'm not going to let that happen.
I take off her overalls she had on and rose up her shirt a bit to reveal her back. It looks terrible! There's so many scars, and so much blood. I get a rag, wet it, and wipe the blood off of her back, causing her to wince in pain.
"Sorry." I say. She nods in response as I go back to cleaning up her cuts.
"Ozzy can I dance tomorrow?" She asked.
"No Richelle remember you can't dance until next week. Plus we have school tomorrow." I tell her.
She sighs just the tiniest bit then lays her head back.
"Do you have any cuts anywhere else?" Just when I ask that my mom and Izzy come down the stairs.
"Omg Richelle?!" My mom says.
"Rich what happened?" She asked going full on worried mom.
"I- I... uhhh." She startled.
"She fell when we were at the skate park today because some boy pushed her over." I said saving Richelle.
My mom sighed of relief and told Izzy to help me. Once my mom was out of sight Izzy turned to look at me.
"So what really happened?" She asked.
"That's for Richelle to explain. It's not my place to tell her personal business without her permission." I tell her while she hands Richelle a bottle of water.
"I'll tell what happened another time." Richie sighed. We then finished and I went outside to get her things out the car.
I give her the guest bedroom and she thanks me. I walk into my mom's room and ask, "Mum is it okay if Richie stays here for a while? Her parents are still out of town and she's staying all by her-."
"Of course." She replied cutting me off. I smiled then went into Izzy's room.
"Hey Iz." I say.
"Hey Oz." She said back.
"Whatcha doing." I ask, seeing as she's on her phone tapping the screen rapidly.
"Just texting Heath." I tell her.
"Alright. Just don't stay up too late, we have school tomorrow." I tell her.
"K Oz." She replied looking at me.
"K," I say kissing her on the cheek, "Love you." I say.
"Love you too." She replied before laying her head down. I get up and walk out of her room going to Richelle's.
I open the door to see her on the floor stretching.
"Richie you have to get to bed soon you know."
"Yeah, yeah, I know, but I have to do these every night. I have to keep my dancing shape even if it's only for a few days." She says. Moving her right leg from the split she was in going to her left.
I spot the scars on her legs and wrists before shuddering at the memories. I wish things went differently.
Richelle
I finally finish and walk over to the bed. These scars hurt like hell but there's nothing I can do about it. I pick up and scroll through Instagram before receiving a text message from an unknown number.
I quickly open it and it says: "You'll be sorry you ever met me"
What? I quickly go to Ozzy's room to see him fast asleep. I don't want to sleep by myself knowing that someone is out there...
