Trigger Warning :

Nabil was standing at the kitchen sink, holding something I couldn't see. I stepped closer, and looked over his shoulder.

It was so horrific. Honestly.
He was holding a knife, and didn't hesitate when he sliced open his wrist deeply, his expression cold, not revealing any pain.

"Nabil, what are you doing ?!"
I called out, panicking, and tried to grab the knife from his hand. Epic fail.
Suddenly, his expression changed to fear, pain written all over, as if he was possessed, and was just woken up.

"What have you done ?"
I whispered, and he turned towards me, groaning in pain, holding his wrist.
"oww, it hurts ! It's hurting me ! Adelle, do something !"
He kept moaning and whimpering in pain, holding his arm tightly, trying to stop the bleeding.

"don't touch it ! Why would you do that to yourself ? Are you an idiot ?!"
He started tearing up.
"I didn't know I was doing it, you have to believe me !"
He glanced at the wound, and groaned.

"oww.."
I froze for a moment, but then remembered. Barron is upstairs ! He can help me.
"Barron ! Come downstairs, quick !"
I exclaimed as loud as I can, which wasn't so loud because I always hated to raise my voice. I didn't know if it was enough to get him downstairs. Then again, he's not deaf.
What else can I do ?

"oww.."
My brother groaned again, which shot me back into consciousness. A few moments later, I heard footsteps down the stairs, and Barron came into the view.
"Barron ! Get the first aid kit, quick !"

He nodded, his face panicking as he ran to the storage room.
"why would you do that ? How could you ?"
Did you think I would fall for 'I didn't feel it' statement ? I don't know why I didn't. I saw him myself.
"I wasn't controlling myself..! You have to believe me, sister.."

He continued to tear up, whimpering softly, occasionally glancing at his wrist.
Barron came again into the kitchen, holding the first aid box, settling it down on the kitchen table. I took a tissue and a bandage out, and opened the water tap, pushing Nabil's injured arm under the stream of cold water.

"oww.."
He groaned again, a tear going through his face.
When I was done, I grabbed the tissue and carefully put it on the wound, and wrapped the bandage above it, Barron standing next to me the entire time, putting a hand on Nabil's shoulder.

"it's going to be alright."
Barron said in reassurance. Nabil nodded at him, his eyes teary.
"Let's get him to the hospital."
I said as soon as I finished wrapping up his injured wrist.

Barron nodded.

..

"It's a good thing you two did of wrapping up his wrist. He could've lost a lot of blood."
The doctor complimented.
"thanks."
I mumbled, looking at the floor.
As soon as the doctor left, Barron wrapped his arm around my shoulder in reassurance.

"it'll be alright."
He said softly.
"You don't get it, Barron. It's like he was possessed or something. He kept slicing his wrist as if I wasn't there, like something was controlling him."

"don't worry about it."
He kissed my forehead as he spoke.
"it's over now."

God, was he wrong.
