Chapter Two: Cutting

By KellyQ

I looked in the bathroom mirror at my own reflection. Large rings under my eyes, messy unkempt hair and eyes that where full of pain reflected back to me. Man, I look like a train wreck! Lee, why do you do this to me? I love you so much!

"Takato! Hurry up! You're going to be late for class!"

Sighing angrily, I picked up my bag walked out and headed to school. I didn't go straight to class when I got there. I walked in the bathroom. Looking at my reflection again, my body started to sake again as fresh new tears came down.

I never noticed how ugly I looked. I want the pain to go away and I know just the thing. I reached in my pocket and pulled out a razor blade that I took from the bathroom. The blade glistened in the light. Putting the blade on the table I pulled off my wristband.

Slash!

The razor came in contacted with my skin. Blood just oozed out.

"Takato! What in the hell are you doing!"

I turned my head as I felt the razor going deeper into my wrist. My vision started to fade as strong arms caught me.

"Wake up damnit! You can't die on us! Don't stand there, Kenta! Help me bandage his wrist and carry him to the nurse's office!" Hirokazu ordered.

"Right!"

He took my sore arm and yanked the blade out. I yelled in pain as my body started to shake even more. Darkness started to take hold of me as they carried me down the hallway to the office.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

I slowly opened my eyes. Everything gradually came clear to see everyone standing around me but Lee. Juri was the first to react by slapping me across the face and then hugging me with tears in her eyes. I put my arms around her saying that I was all right.

"Your more of an idiot than I give you credit for." Ruki said walking to the door.

"Ruki's right! Why in the hell did you try to kill your self?" Hirokazu asked angrily.

"None of your business!" I responded pulling Juri off of me, "Now get out!"

Everyone just looked at me wide-eyed. Juri looked like she was about to cry. I turned my head telling them to leave me alone but changing the tone in my voice. They all walked out closing the door behind them. The door opened again. Will they just let me be?

"Damnit! Can't you take a freak'n hint? Leave me alone!"

The door opened a little more and Lee popped his head in. He looked worse than I did. I feel like such an asshole!

"Lee! I'm sorry! I thought it was the others ..."

"We need to talk."

I laid back down as he joined me on the bed. There where long silence between us. I really wanted to take his hand and say that I was really sorry for what I did to him and I know he won't let me even touch him. The whole time we where silent he didn't look at me. I started to feel my body shake again as I tried to hold back the tears. Why is he still doing this to me?

" --- Takato ... you did it ... you cut your self because of me."

My eyes widened even more. His eyes by now where full of pain. Oh god, I'm hurting him even more! wait! What I'm thinking! He's hurt me!

"Lee, just go." I finally said not even looking at him.

"What? No! I'm not leaving!"

"Get out!"

"No!"

I glared at him, my index finger hovering over the button emblazoned with a symbol of a person in a dress, wearing a hat with a cross on it -- symbolizing a nurse. Before I could press the button Lee took my hand. I looked back at him my mind blank.

"Takato... I'm sorry --- I had no idea that I had that much of an impact on you."

"You're just saying that because you feel sorry for me---"

"I never said I hated you."

"Then why have you been ignoring my phone calls?"

"I just needed time to think and I still do."

"Does that mean you don't hate me?" I asked in a hopeful tone.

He nodded his head slipped off the bed walked to the door and stopped. He seemed hesitant for one moment and turned back my direction with tears in his eyes as he ran to me. He was hugging me gently, It was a dream come true, he was touching me.

"I know that I shouldn't really in here but I just can't leave you."

"Don't really worry about." I responded with a smile.

Lee let go and sat next to me on a chair. We where both silent for quite some time when Lee jerked his head up with great shock in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked trying to site up.

"Your parents! There's probably worried that you're not home right now!"

"No Lee!" I panicked, "my parents will get really mad and disown me if they found out!"

"Why would they disown you? Do they have a grudge against gay people?"

I looked down when I felt his hand touch my face. I immediately looked up startled. Lee leaned closer and kissed me right on the lips. At first I was shocked but then I deepened by rapping my only free arm around his skinny body pulling him close.

"What's going on here?"

We both pulled away turned our heads to see Mr. and Mrs. Mastuda looking at us very angrily.

"Mom! Dad! I can explain!"

"You don't have to explain anything," My mom hissed walking toward us, "you're not to see him again!"

She took a hold of Lee by the collar picked him. I tighten my grip on his arm so my mom couldn't drag him away from me. But it was no good, I was too weak and my dad pulled my hand away. Lee was trembling by the time he was kicked out of the room.

"You stay away from our son, you got that you freak?"

"He's not a freak! And I love him!" I shouted.

A hand came toward me but nothing happened, I opened my eyes to see that Lee was blocking my father's hand with his arm.

"You strike Takato you have to strike me too!"

My parents looked at him for one moment.

"Fine! Just don't come back when you need a place to stay!" My mother hissed.

They both turned and walked out. My body started shake as tears formed in my eyes. I knew, as soon as they found out that they would do this to me! Lee put his arms around me. I tried to pull way but he didn't let me. I wanted to be alone a conferred at the same time.

"Takato-chan, listen," He said touching my face, " when you are released from the hospital you can live with me."

"You sure that will be okay? What if they find out? What if they kick you out because of me?"

"They wouldn't do that, besides, they like you."

"Thanks Lee-chan." I said lying back down.

He leaned closer to me and kissed me the forehead slipped off the bed and walked to the door.

"I love you." I said before he closed the door.

"I know silly." He said closing the door behind.
