Cutting My Way
Through
Chapter 2
I went to room, locked the door,
and threw myself onto my bed. I bounced upwards a little bit
because of how hard I slammed myself on the bed. I sat
there for a little bit, letting all the emoitions soak in.
For the first time in a long time, I wan't
disappointed in myself for what I had done, I was proud. I had
proved to myself that I was stronger than all of them. One
day, I thought, all of them are going to push me too
far and they will regret it. Yeah right, I thought again, I
told myself that everyday for the past two years but its
no use. I wish I was just normal like all of the other
people. I imagined what it would be like to be wanted, to
be normal:
"Hey, Keith! Wanna come over to my house for a party this
Friday night!?" One of the jocks would say.
"Sure! Who's gonna be there?" I would ask.
"Anyone you want to invite." He
would say, and I would invite all my friends from all
around the world that I knew just to celebrate with me, because
that's how jocks do it. And maybe even drink a little,
because popular people arent afraid of anything, even if
it's illegal, I thought.
I grabbed a couple of tissues from my bedside table and wiped
off the tears that were running down my cheeks and rolled
over to my other side of my bed, because the other side
had become damp from my tears. I heard the slam of a door
from downstairs and the whole house vibrated. It was my
mother, I knew it was. I sat up and walked to my door to make
sure that it was locked, just in case my mom wouldn't come
in and yell at me. I heard my mom switch on the T.V. and
watch another replay of SNL, or Saturday Night Live,
like she always does when she gets home. I heard her open
the dishwasher to put a dish in from her snack I
presume she was eating. My body grew tense when I realized that
I might not have wiped off all of the blood.
I heard a high pitched scream and I felt my body
grown even more tense as I felt the vibrations from the
stairs as my mom raced up the stairs. I heard the click-click
of the doornob turn left and right. I told myself, maybe its a
coincidence that she's angry, like all the other times.
"Why is this covered in blood!?" My mother
demanded.
