Caroline was glad her date had not given her any static tonight. They had been at the party for only an hour when she told Frank she had an awful headache and needed to go home.

She could not recall a time when she felt happy in a crowd and most of the time she avoided them. Caroline was a beautiful young lady and many men jumped at a chance to date her.

This year should have been the happiest time of her life. She graduated from high school a few months ago and was due to leave soon to attend college.

Caroline was an only child and her parents doted on her. They bought her all the things money could buy.

Mr. and Mrs. Hampton had gone to Florida for the weekend and Caroline had the huge house all to herself. She felt sad and happy both at the same time. Times like tonight was when she desired to be alone.

She rose from the chair where she had been sitting and made her way to her bathroom. Quickly, she removed her clothing and stood there for a moment looking at the old scars on her upper thighs. With a deep sigh, she took the knife and thought of the pleasurable pain it gave her as she slowly ran the sharp blade against the flesh on her leg.

Some pains are hard to explain and even harder to see.
The blood began to trickle down her leg bringing a morbid type of relief for a little while. It was getting harder and harder to keep her secret.
