Scarlett's POV-Now

I still hadn't left my room yet, but no one seemed too bothered anymore, which I was happy about. It meant I got to throw my food away, binge watch stuff on my phone, and not have to speak to anyone. I got out my bed and started to walk to my bathroom, but I was hit with a huge dizzy spell as soon as my feet touched the floor, I held my bed to get my balance, then walked to the bathroom.

After I'd done my business, I stood up, and, again, went completely dizzy, I decided it'd be best for me to get some water, I walked out my room and down the stairs into the kitchen,

"Oh, hey Scarlett, nice to see you're up and about,"

"Hey Josh, I just came down to get some water, I think I might be getting a cold or something, I keep getting dizzy spells," Lie,

"Oh no, do you want some paracetamol or anything,"

"No, I think I'll just stay up in my room and try to get a bit better," Get skinnier, I heard someone walk into the kitchen behind us, and Josh's face dropped,

"Hey," I turned to face him, but what I saw shocked me. He almost looked as pale as me, his eyes dull and lifeless, no smile on his face, he avoided eye contact the best he could, and it broke me even more inside, had broken Simon as well as myself. I couldn't bare to be in the same room as him, so I started to walk out. But he followed, "Scarlett," I sped up, but my head started to hurt, I forgot to get the water, I sighed and tried to turn around and brush past him, I saw Josh making his way up with a bottle, so I turned around again and started to walk, but was turned back around, when he yanked me back towards him, "Let me go Simon,"

"Scarlett please," His grip got tighter,

"Simon fucking let me go," I couldn't stand his touch, the thought of him touching another girl haunted me,

"Please" He sighed,

"I think you should let her go, don't you," Josh stood in-between us and stared at him,

"I just wanna talk,"

"Well I don't want to talk,"

"Please, I need to explain,"

"You've said enough, let me go," His hand was digging into my fresh cuts, and I was wearing my white hoody, I was scared that he was gunna reopen them, "You're hurting me,"

His grip loosened slightly, "Simon, let her go," Josh said, his voice had a slight dominance to it, it was pretty scary, he let me go and Josh stood right in-between us now, I looked at my arm and saw that there was blood dripping down towards my hand, then I looked at the floor and realised that it had dripped onto the floor, they both noticed as well, Josh turned and looked at me, "Let me see," He held out his hand, and I shook my head, "Please," I sighed and tears started to form in my eyes, I put my arms in his hand and he rolled up my sleeve, I knew it was bad, I hadn't done it this much ever, my arms were now a blur of scars and cuts, there was next to no room of clean skin, Josh sighed,

"How bad is it," Simon asked,

"See for yourself, it's your fault after all," He let go of my arm and stood behind me, Simon looked at my arm, and his eyes started pouring with tears,

"Why, you promised me you wouldn't," That was it,

"What, like you promised that you'd never hurt me? Huh, well you did Simon, when I saw you with that girl, you hurt me, that trust that we had, you ruined it, I can't bare to be anywhere near me, I don't want you're hands on me, knowing that they'd touched another girl, you broke me Simon, so don't talk to me about trust, when all you've done is fuck me over,"

"Fuck you," He said,

"You what," Josh almost shouted,

"All I've done since you got here is love and care about you, and I'm so sick to death of your shit," He spat through tears, we were both heavily crying, Josh walked in front of me again and surprised me by punching Simon square in the face,

"You fucking cock," He then wrapped his arm around me and walked me to my room, he shut my door and looked at me, "Let's talk,"
