I closed my eyes and let the smooth, shiny blade cut through my skin. Tears were streaming down my cheeks.I opened my eyes and saw the scarlet river running down my arm. I let out a sigh and turned the sink on, and started cleaning the new soon to be scar.Down stairs, i could hear the screams of terror coming from my mother as she was taking beating after beating from my dad. I looked back at the mirror. My Brunnette hair was sticking up, There were dark circles and makeup smeared under my dark brown eyes, which seemed black now.
"I don't know how much longer i can take this," I said to my reflection."My life is so screwed up."
I could imagine what my cousin Jeremy would say right now.
"This isn't you, Lauren." He would whisper, His dark green eyes would be filled with tears, and his black bangs would be covering one of his eyes. "Where did the real you go?"
I lost myself a long tme ago, and i knew, that part of me would never come back.
