Dustin looked off into space. He was still unsure about this female. His experience people couldn't be trusted. Yet...here she was trying to show him she could be. He was torn between what he knew and what could be a possibility. It was strange for him to feel such tearment within. It wasn't a type of tearment like he normally felt. It was more of he didn't know what to do. He didn't know what to believe. It was hard for him to accept this as real. He couldn't help he was a cutter. It was his parent who had drive him to it. It was how he stayed sane. While that might not make sense cutting was all that kept him sane. He could only take so much before he ended up snapping. His mental state would go *snap* like a mental twig being stepped on. When it did he would try to end it. To bring himself peace by killing himself. Suicide was not something he was proud of. His guardian angel never let him die. He had tried numerous ways. From sleeping pills to slitting his throat and somehow he always lived. Usually woke in the hospital but was still very much...alive.<br/><br/>He nodded his head. "Nobody ever treated me like a person before now." He said softly. It was the truth. To his parents he was just an object to be abused. An object to be treated like a punching bag. He nodded his head to what she said. He guessed so. He figured if this school was full of vampires and demons a habit like his was hazardous to his health. Not...that he really cared. He didn't see much value in himself as he had always been told he meant nothing. That he was worth nothing. The years of abuse had hurt him bad. Had done great damage to his personal view of himself. To how he reacted to others. To how he handled things. To how he felt about himself. So much hindered on what his parents had done to him. The years of abuse just built up and up and up. It had been a never flowing events. Until a few weeks ago. He couldn't remember what made the cycle of pain and suffering come to an end.<br/><br/>It was just a blur to him. Looking at her as she spoke. Nodding his head as she spoke. Bothering them? More like taunting them and inviting them to view him as food. He kept that to himself though. He bit his lower lip for a second then looked at her. He blinked at her request. "I promise...to try." he said softly. "I promise to do my best to do it in here if I need to do it" He said. That was the best he could promise when he had done it so long wherever nobody was. Yet in a school of vampires he cut outside he wouldn't remain alone most likely.<br/><br/>He looked at her as she spoke to him again. A hug was simple? Then how come he had never receieved one before? He listened to what she was saying. Biting his lower lip a bit hard for a second. He almost made his lip bleed. It doesn't hurt? She promised him it wouldn't. He nodded his head as she continued. He flinched and tensed as she hugged him. Yet soon relaxed some when there really wasn't any pain. His heart began racing in his chest. It hadn't been long but positive touches were a foreign experience. The experience was something he was unused to. It made him uneasy. His breathing uneven as he was starting to panic from the touch when she finally ended it. He forced himself to calm down some. "W-w-wasn't too b-bad." He said in a shaky voice.<br/><br/>He stood up and began to clean up his things. Putting his black dagger endowed with holy powers in his waistband. He then put the guitar on the bed so it was safe. He pushed his hair over his shoulders. Putting back on the overshirt. He never went out. He never let others see the scars on his arms. He did not need pity. He did not need sympathy. Where were those things when he was a child and needed that friendly face? He hadn't had it and had become the way he was in order to survive. He met her at the door and led the way out of their room. He looked at her. "Maybe....Maybe I should look into who my grandmother is. I came from halfway across the world so she could have me closer to her. Maybe...I need to know who she is? I don't know. She wasn't there when I needed her so why did it matter to her now?" He whispered.
