He walked into the kitchen taking a knife fall down to the ground using the knife to cut himself not minding the amount of blood he was losing all he wanted to do was punish himself.

Her eyes went sobber that last time Anthony did this to himself he was still sixteen she had to call four guys to hold him down anytime his trama hits mostly when he is in rage against is own self he wouldn't cause his self harm her eyes teared up running out of the apartment to get help.
She ran to two men walking in a site carrying blocks on there shoulders.
