14iconOne of my friends accidently tried to kill himself last night. He was trying to shock his girlfriend, Kim, into not leaving him and he threatened to slit his wrists. He grabbed a kitchen knife and chased his girlfriend around the flat holding the blade over his wrist telling Kim she wasn't leaving or he'd really cut himself. Kim carried on packing and ignoring him and finally headed for the door. I don't know if he meant to cut himself or if he slipped (he was pissed as a fart) but he slit into his left wrist severing the artery and several tendons. Kim freaked out at the sight of all the blood and rang me knowing I was just around the corner and had a car.

I drove around with my mate Andy who was visiting me and walked into a hallway covered in blood. Mike was sitting in the hall holding a towel around his wrist to stop the flow of blood but kept forgetting to hold the towel tightly so little spurts of blood kept shooting across the hall carpet! Kim was in hysterics thinking Mike was going to die. Andy clamped a fresh towel over Mike's arm and we all got in my car and drove to the local A&E. They ignored us for 20 minutes during which time Mike was going fairly pale and we had a nice pool of blood under his seat.

Finally we got him seen and he was admitted. The artery was insignificant according to the doctor and would heal easily but the tendons would need surgery to reattach! We took Kim to her Mum's and I dropped Andy off and got to bed at 2am. I didn't want to be alone so I rang Mandy's mobile and found she was asleep in my spare room! She'd turned up earlier, found out what happened and decided to kip in the spare room in case I wanted her. That girl has a very freaky sixth sense! She came up to my flat and we went to bed and cuddled before I fell asleep. She was gone when I woke up this morning (more evidence of her being a vampire. I'm a very light sleeper and not many people can get out of my bed without waking me!) and had left a post-it note with a love heart drawn on it with Call Me written inside the heart.
