Ashley awoke. Sweat dripping off her face, heart going a thousand miles a minute, her lungs straining for air. This was the worst dream Ashley has had to relive. This dream came once a year. It came the night before her dad died, so she awoke the day of his death aware of what she believes she had done. On this day all knew to steer clear of Ashley Davies because she was in her most fragile state that day. Anything could bring her down. Tears may have never flowed but sadness became apparent in her eyes.

Ashley sat up in her bed knowing what particular day it was. She looked to the left where the framed picture of her and her father sat.

Ashley: "It’s been seven years. I really miss you Daddy."

There was a soft knock on Ashley’s door.

Ashley: "Come in."

The door opened to reveal Ashley’s half sister, Kyla.

Kyla: "Hey Ash hurry up ok."

Ashley merely nodded her head. Kyla smiled at her and left Ashley’s room softly closing the door behind her.

Today is going to be major suckage.

Ashley went into her bathroom and opened up the cabinet above her sink and there lay the maker of the three horizontal cuts along her wrists. She stared at it contemplated whether she should grab it and make the pain go away for the day or if she should just leave it be. She slammed the cabinet shut and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

Ashley: "What are you doing Ashley? This person isn’t you."

She looked at the cuts that were clearly visible on her wrists and cringed at what she had become in the time span of a week. She left the bathroom and finished getting ready and headed off to school.
