[Kari would never open up.] Evan opened the front door. Kari walked inside. She had her arms around her chest as if protecting herself. Evan looked at her. "Do you want anything to drink?" he asked. "No, I just want to be alone for an hour," she said walking back towards her room. "No, you are going to talk to me," Evan said grabbing Kari by her arm. She looked at him. Evan wiped his thumb accross her cheek, removing a tear. Kari closed her eyes. "I love you, Karigurl," he whispered. Kari opened her eyes. Her heart told her to tell him. She loved him as well, she just couldn't hurt him. She couldn't risk hurting herself. "I...I can't, Evan. There is just too much that time cannot erase," she said. "Not if you let it." "No matter what I do, I will always hurt. I will always feel like this. I am drowning, Evan. There's nothing you can do to save me." "I know what you do to yourself, Kari. I saw the fucking blade. I saw the towel. How can you do that to yourself? Doesn't it hurt more than your memories?" "No, my body is numb. I can't feel anything anymore," Kari whispered breaking free from him. She walked into her room. Just as she was getting to close her door, Evan walked in. He grabbed her by her shoulders and forced his lips on hers. Kari stood there. She didn't know what she was doing when she rapped her arms around his neck. She was kissing back. Evan pulled away. He looked at her, tears staining his green eyes. "I love you and I always will. I don't know what happened in your past, but I am the present. I am the future. You don't have to be like this forever." Kari smiled. Evan picked her up. Kari cried out when he hit her leg. Evan looked at her. He had her sit down. Then, he pulled up her pant leg. Ugly scars and scabs looked at him. He could easily read ALONE on her lower right leg. Evan looked at her. Kari turned away. "This is worse than I thought." "That's nothing," Kari said standing. She took off her jeans. Evan's eyes grew in horror. Kari sighed. She sat down on the bed. Evan gently ran his fingers over her deepest wound. He touched one letter and Kari flintched. "No, don't touch that. It hurts so much," she whispered. "Kari, you have carved BLEED into your leg. And here's ALONE and here's SLUT." Evan began to read off the many things written on her leg. He looked up at Kari in tears. There was a frown on her face. She lowered her panties slightly to reveal three words. Evan took his thumb over them. "MY SWEET SUICIDE". He looked into her eyes. "You are my sweet suicide. You are killing me everyday because I can't be with you." Tears poured out of Kari's blue eyes. "My sweet suicide is finally cutting too deep and letting my blood pour from me. Oh, how I long to die. Then, everything will be fine." "No, Kari. I would die without you here. I'm already dying seeing you like this. Goddamn it, Kari. I love you." Evan forced his lips on Kari's. She threw her arms around him. She loved him. He touched her leg, and Kari jumped. Evan looked at her. "No more, Kari. No more." "I won't stop until I breathe no more." -------- Damn, that was good... Help me find my sweet suicide...Kari
