Cuts & Bruises (bxb)

Chapter 6

Nico's POV

It's been a few weeks since the party I stayed in my room without food for days, with that only getting up to go to the toliet and grab a drink of water as the dark circles under my eyes shows how sleep deprived I was.

I run my fingers through my unkempt

Hair, as I get out of my bed unwillingly heading to the toliet to take a piss, as I enter I look in the mirror, seeing how much of a mess I looked and my eyes red from bawling my eyes out, I looked away then did my business, realizing school is starting back up today.

I mumbled out "should probably get ready" I grudgingly go to my bedroom grabbing my school bag and shoving books and water in, then quickly hopping in the shower cleaning myself.

I dress myself in black skinny Jean's converses a panic at the disco shirt and a simple baggy black hoodie I put my bag on my back and skipped out from making my dad and brother breakfast knowing I'm going to get a beating from my father, but at this point I didnt care.

I open the wooden front door with a soft squeaking coming from it, I flinch as the morning sun makes its way into my already irritated eyes, I pull my hood up enough so a it just covers my eyes with the shadow.

I begin walking to school, my mind wonders off as I dont realize 10 minutes I make it to school.

I came out of my daze when I hear a familiar voice call out my name.

"Nico! Wait up!" Hear someone shout out behind me, Then I realized the voice belong to nathan, I pick up my pace but only for a hand to grab my shoulder and spin me around so I was now facing in his direction, not even bothering to look up at him, if I do I'll risk crying in public so I continue to glance at the ground.

"W what do you w want?" My voice quivered, "I wanted to talk, whatever happened at the party was a mistake I was drunk Nico, it meant nothing I swear please forgive me it wont happen again" nathan begged while grabbing my hands and caressed them.

"W why should I y you seemed like you enjoyed it" I whimpered as tears started to form in my eyes, as a lump formed in my throat trying to hold back a sob from coming through.

"Baby, alcohol can make people do stupid things, doesnt mean I enjoyed it please i promise it wont happen again I cant lose you Nico" nathan begged more and I slowly nodded, feeling him engulf me into a long lasting hug.

After a few seconds we parted ways as our classes were about to start.

Why did I agree to stay with him,I should of said no, what is wrong with me I'm such a i***t i thought to myself as I make it to class and sit down near the back near the window I didnt pay any attention to the class lesson.

"Hirotoma...., Mr Hirotoma" my teacher Mr Dale called out to Me, i jumped up "y Yes sir" i stuttered out in a quiet tone, "are you even listening to a word i said?" He raised a brow at me "no im sorry sir" i looked down at my feet, "pay attention you're here to learn not to dayream, now sit down" he said sternly.

I did what i was told and sat back down and started doodling on my lined page on my book as i listened to the lesson hoping to get out of class soon, i was fighting back tear from thinking about what nathan did at the party I probably deserved it i mean I'm lucky I he likes me enough to be with me.

10 minutes later the bell finally rang i swing my hand down to grab my bag and i rushed to the toliets as tears begin to fall from thinking too much on it and i hid my face from the crowd in the halls as i made it into toliet i went into a the first stall and shakingly grabbed my razor blade and cut it on my wrist 7 times deep enough for it to bleed but not enough for me to bleed out too much as I sobbed sitting on the closed toliet seat as my Tears fell onto my new cuts, I didnt leave the stall when next period started i just couldn't, i grabbed my bag when i thought everyone went into class and put my razor blade away then walk out the hallway as i was near the exit of the school someone grabbed my shoulder and spun me around making me feel slightly lightheaded.

I then focused onto who decided to stop me and to my surprise it was katsu "h hi katsu d did y you need a a anything?" I stuttered utterly scared i was going to get punched like usual.

"Are you ok Nico?" He looks at me concerned.

"Oh of coarse im ok w why w would you t think im not and w why arn't you hitting me right now? I questioned his strange kindness towards me.

Katsu's Pov

"Listen I'm sorry that i bullied you, I wish i could take it back, i promise i wont hit you, the reason is i actually like you and your kinda leaving the school grounds which isnt like the Nicolas i know, the nicolas i know doesn't leave school just for anything so whatever is bothering you i would like to know if you would let me listen".

"H How w would i k know  t to trust y you I mean again t this could be a joke between your friends and if it is it's definitely n not funny I've h had enough been played around with Katsu" nico looked down at his feet.

"Look i know I've been a douch but can i be honest i kinda seen your scars" i sigh.

"Im pretty sure most are because of me so spill" I slowly put my hand on his shoulder gently.

"T these actually aren't all caused by you and your friends, but that's something im not willing to share with you yet, i cant trust you" he bites his lip and looks up at me with a nearly defeated look in his eyes

"How about this we be friends ok, ill work hard to gain your trust sound like a plan?" I smile lightly at him.

"I mean i suppose i could give you a second chance, well ok we can be friends katsu's" he gives me a small but warming smile and i blush and look down slightly.

"Lets exchange numbers then ill message you after school is that cool with you nico?" I ask as i take my phone out as he nods and does the same.

"I d dont mind" he says then we end up exchanging numbers then saying our goodbyes as he left the school and i went to class.
