I wanna feel weightless
Chapter 6
*Jack's POV*
I pulled into Lizzy's drive way and ran to the front door, I knocked softly and waited for a reply, no one came. I turned the knob and sure enough it opened. I knew where Lizzy's room was, I'd been here before to work on a school project, but with all the junk in this house I could hardly get there. When I finally made my way to her bedroom door, I heard water running. If she was in the shower she wouldn't be able to hear me knock. I walked in and sat on her bed only to notice something shiny in the corner of my eye. I looked on her bedside table and saw it, one single razor blade with what appeared to be fresh blood on the edge. I wanted to cry but I couldn't, I guess I should've seen it coming, no one could be that strong, and yet, she was still strong in my eyes. This was her little bump in the road but she is still strong and she is still just as awesome. Suddenly her bathroom door creaked open and she stepped out, I gasped and she looked up, scared and hurt.
*Elizabeth's POV*
As I stepped out of the shower I realized just how tired I was, I needed to put my pajamas on and get some sleep. I got my pajamas, just some simple boy shorts and a tank top, I may not be skinny but I can still sleep comfortably right? As I walked out of the bathroom, the faintest gasp caught my ear and my head shot up, "Jack?" I whispered in defeat, no one but Zack knew about my cutting and now here I was standing in front of Jack my thighs on full display and no long sleeves to cover my arms. Next thing I know I'm being puled into a hug on the floor, how did I get down here?
*Jack's POV*
"Jack?" She whispered. I had no idea what to say so I just decided to give her a hug but before I knew what was happening she had fallen on the floor. Sitting crisscross I leaned her over to rest her head on my chest and I just held her there, comforting her. We sat like this for a long time just her crying and me trying to be the strength she needed. After a while she lifted her head, "What are you doing here Jack?"
I told her the only thing I could.
"I saw you run out and since Zack was 'busy' I figured you needed a friend."
"Well, thanks, I'm sorry you had to see me like this."
"It doesn't make you any less special Lizzy, you're still beautiful," and then she hugged me even tighter, "Any time you need to talk you know you can come to me, Zack's not your only friend you know."
"Is he even my friend at all now?"
Her spirit was broken and he had done this to her, how could he.
"I don't know if this helps anything, but when I asked Zack what he was doing he said and I quote 'Making out with Liz,'" I couldn't be sure but it looked like a smile dared to pull at the ends of her lips, "I just think he was really messed up Lizzy, like someone had given him some drugs or something."
"First off, why would he want to make out with me and secondly why would he think Miranda is me?"
"You're joking right?"
"No"
"He likes you Lizzy"
"Nuh uh"
"Lizzy he's liked you since the day he met you and today he was finally going to ask you out... like on a date, I think when you told me y'all were 'just friends' it really messed him up."
"Wow, that's a lot to take in, is he okay now?"
"Yeah he's fine, I think, I left him with Alex."
"Alex was so shitfaced earlier, he can't help." I could hear the worry in her voice and rushed to assure her.
"Okay well I'll tell you what, I'm taking your blade, I don't want you doing anything else to hurt yourself, and then you're going to bed and I'll go check on Zack and we'll both be over in the morning, to pick you up, if you want, so you can come to watch us practice and then after we'll hang out the rest of the day."
"That sounds fun, Jack, thanks."
She saw me to my car and I left.
"What am I supposed to do with this?" I thought as I held her blade in my hand. I needed to focus, I needed to check on Zack, I tossed it in the glove box and headed to Alex's.
I pulled into Lizzy's drive way and ran to the front door, I knocked softly and waited for a reply, no one came. I turned the knob and sure enough it opened.
