THE PLEASURE IN PAIN!
Born 2004, F, from Karachi, Pakistan“Oh Carter! Don’t, nnn-nah, mhmm, stop, two, too h-high!!!” Amelia wiggled in the bed while dreaming next to me, what was she dreaming about? I grinned and hit her with a pillow.
She sat up straight, “Woah! Woah! Woah! What, where! What the hell!? I was enjoying, Haze, it was so much fun on the swings.” She complained with an annoyed look on her face.
I quickly shut my eyes and started to snore. We had a stay at Isabella’s house last night. I guess it was around 11:00 in the morning right now. Not too cold today.
“Hey ladies, I’m here. Now get your lazy bodies’ outta my bed and here! Try this omelette…” Isabella played with her accent.
“Okay, Mama!” I sat up and saw giving me a murderous look.
“Who touched my Anabelle here?” Isabella clapped her hand on Amelia’s shoulder, grinning.
I winked twice at her {slowly, making sure my eye lids do not hurt and stay safe!!!} ;-)
I put on my woolen sweater and tied my hair into a voluminous yet messy bun.
After half-heartedly eating the omelette, I got into the bathroom to take a shower. Isabella’s bathroom is pretty cool and spacious! I usually play around in the bath tub pretending to give a bath to my imaginary kittens… This time I wasn’t willing to play so I went and stood in front of the basin, examining my face in the mirror; sunken eyes, pale skin, dark circles and chapped lips. My appearance reminded me of cuts, some scabby, some yellow with pus and some slightly bleeding - razor cuts on Harrison’s arms.
I shuddered in disbelief, he had punished himself because he thought he was the reason behind my illness. I remembered his warmth that he radiated while hugging. I remembered the light cologne I smelt when he embraced me. A knock on the door brought me back to reality.
“Five more minutes!” I shouted and heard Amelia giggling.
“What are you doing in there!?” she shouted back.
“None of your business!” I rolled my eyes as I stepped into the shower.
Current raced through my body. I shrieked as the blood freezing water came in contact with my skin. After shuddering disbelievingly for a minute or two, I found myself turning off the warm water tap. After bringing the bath curtains together and freeing myself from any kind of fabric, I sat calmly in the water.
I moaned with pleasure, it hurt so good. I wondered whether Harrison felt the same way while bruising his arms from the razor.
“Why is it so satisfying to hurt one’s own self for someone else?” I wondered.
After 15 minutes when I finally bathed and got out of the tub - numb, I couldn’t feel my body anymore, I put on a cozy t-shirt underneath a fleece jacket and pulled up a jeans.
I brushed my hair and without drying I wrapped it in a woolen turban. My head felt heavy.
Amelia and Isabella gasped when they saw me. I wondered if I had put on the jacket wrong way out. Isabella came over to me and shook me hard.
“What are you both outta your minds!?” I looked away with stubbornness.
“I am talking to you, Hazel! I am talking about you and Harrison!” she shouted.
“What’s wrong, why are you acting like my granny?” I asked, freeing myself from her hands which gripped my shoulders. Amelia dragged me over to the royal dresser lying in Isabella’s room.
“Here, see! What have you done!? You look like a patient suffering from hypothermia!” she pinched my shoulder from back and yelled in my ear.
I pretended as if I don’t care but when I looked in the mirror; I had a puffy face, my skin’s complexion was grey and lips were bluish purple. It did make me feel guilty, but for whom? My friends, Harrison, or my own self?
“I am sorry…” I muttered under my breath and walked out of the room.
“Tomorrow the school starts…” I thought to myself whilst walking down snowy road more like skiing on it.
