Rio caught her wrist, letting the sleeve fall to rrveal the cuts. He stared into her eyes, very confused. "Why would you do this to yourself?" He whispered.

She pulled her hand out of his grasp, snapping it to her chest before looking down. "Because I deserve it." She muttered, her voice small and tired.

"No one deserves to be hurt." Said Rio, completely ignoring the aching spasm in his leg.

"I do. I cause others pain so I do the same to myself. Just to make it fair. It's better than the constant guilt." She shrugged, not seeing what was wrong with it.

"First off this had better nit be about me and Rashi ok?" Said Rio firmly. "Second that's not true. Hurting yourself is just gonna hurt those you care about more. It's impossible to go through life without hurting people."

She ignored the first question for the sake of her guilt. "No one cares about me. The only person that does is Jessie and she has a life outside of me."

"Fiona" Rio's tone was frustrated. "I don't particularly care of you hate me but I care that the people around are alright. And while I cannot do anything about Rashi I will try to do something about you."

"How considerate." She mumbled, drawing herself back into her apartment. "I don't need your help though." She went to close the door.

Rio frowned again, "At least let me heal those cuts…"

"Rio, I can't say I'm not appreciative of the offer but you've got an office to run. Get back to work and let me bleed in peace." She fully shut the door, sighing quietly before returning to the bathroom.

Rio sighed, gasping as put his full wieght on his left leg, nearly falling as he catches himself on the wall. "God I hate you Rash…." he said with a small moan of pain as his leg cramped.

She sunk to the floor, sobbing into her hands. She hated so much that this was how she coped but it worked and most of the time no one ever caught her. She was so upset that Rio had been the one who caught her today.

Rio rode out the spasms in the hall. It felt like eternity even though it was only a few moments. Soon he was limping off to work. Getting back he realized the work had only piled up.

There was a small note this desk. 'Thanks for dropping off her meds, I know she's a pain most of the time but she's really going through a lot.'

Rio sighed when he saw it. "No problem Jesse…." he muttered, booting up his computer and prepping to pull an all-nighter to get caught up.

Fiona stayed curled up on the bathroom floor for the rest of the day, unable to find the strength or motivation to move.

Rio stayed at the office, working. He was trying to catch up on everything, despite the headache it was giving him. He stayed until late that night, spending most of his loose change on chips and energy drinks in the vending machine.

Jessie stayed late too, choosing to be a good friend and do Fiona's work too so she wouldn't be completely swamped when she'd come in the next day. If she came in the next day…

Rio eventually came out of his office, stretching. Seeing that Jesse was still around he slipped over to her. "You should go home soon." he said, gently.

She waved him off quickly. "I'll be fine, I'm just about done." She finished up and turned off the computer, grabbing her coat and keys. "I'd ask why you're still here but I already know. Oh, and thanks again for checking on Fiona for me. How was she doing?"

"I don't suppose you know she cuts herself…." said Rashi, yawning.

She sighed heavily. "Not again. I thought we were over this! Although I kind of understand why she didn't tell me after last time…" She felt the guilt curling around her gut at the memories of her harsh words to her friend.

"I'm just hoping it isn't because of Rashi yesterday…" said Rio,

"Nah, that wouldn't be the main reason. But it was probably the tipping point. So actually yeah, it kind of is his fault." She shrugged.

"I hate to sound rude but the initial starter for that explosion was her fault." said Rio. "It's hard to explain but it's the truth…"
