Lucy?" I raise my head in alarm. "Lucy!" I turn to the familiar voice. "There you are!" I feel warm arms engulf me, pulling me, soothing me.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1UEORpeLk
"Ray…" I choke out. Ray releases me and looks at my tear-stained face. He takes my hand and slips the blade from between my fingers, his eyes never leaving mine.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB0e3cBKja
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTK01FXVdo
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZIA2p7mrn
"Promise me something, Lucy." He looks back at me. "Promise me that you'll never cut again, OK?" I nod. "If you ever fall back to this place again, call me over. I'll help you, Lucy." He grabs my hands. "Promise me."922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb1IY6LZ0b
"I promise, Ray." I whisper, tears leaking out of my eyes. He pulls me into a tight hug, breathing out a sigh of relief. He kisses the top of my head and then moves back…922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVccPI90mnG
922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHlI24fS6M
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOD9R76BLp
My blanket is hanging off my bed, my clothes are strewn across the floor, my hair is sticking to my wet cheeks and the window is shut, enclosing me in darkness.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMOSE7ijXM
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDE8MRmQz9
Fake.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6oiDNL1bF
Not myself.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OIQanHIfb
The silver blade is shining, piercing the darkness with an evil light. It taunts me, challenges me, dares me to touch it, to pick it up and to use it.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0fShxUubd
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW3SfS7M2w
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOZchJaVB7
Help me, Ray! Help me!922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVZ0GIUA0u
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AY2ydv0jy
Voice mail.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv9kWw6avi
I try again.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjWBFXNPMf
No answer.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqAvZToHN2
I frantically pull at my hair, curling into a ball. I shut my eyes but a few lone tears escape. I shake my head, trying to pull myself out of my despair and trying, somehow, to pull myself together. I'm falling apart, breaking down.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtlqIRDEck
I can't. I must stay strong.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadEaWMm6V1
My tears come faster.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GdRL8W12c
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbauQNRLhW
"Ahh!" I scream, pushing myself back. I lose my balance and fall off my bed, crashing to the floor. I cover my face with my hands, shaking, sobbing.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM6UxKb1vh
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBbA0tQZAa
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN41mN8MKz9
Is it really that high?922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1GSqioDBs
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmc8r25i8M
I must move… I need to move.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTieRB8k8a
I eye the door.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGzQi1RTlN
I will myself to sit up.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t06L4ig6J
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpciUSHAYaW
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUhieZcC7u
I focus on the door.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRQ1CgoAnk
I crawl forward.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcq7TXLDUO
I need to get there.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwzNulTQVr
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALDByc95Xx
My legs are wobbly, broken.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVxhnvi7zw
Just a few more feet…922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCLfReQRlF
I reach out my hand and take another step-922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahK3lQHLLj
and collapse to the ground.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sNZ35U1QV
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvgyTP7jaP
I grab at my bed sheet, trying to pull myself up. I feel around, grabbing at anything I possibly can. I grasp closer to my blanket and freeze as I touch something cold. Sharp.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mg2e2Vo5j
I suck in a breath.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFfVB0l7Zx
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX870VphIc
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwsZwerqja
Just once.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6zMapOt0i
"Promise me."922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zk7pBUhhg
"I promise, Ray."922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xHHTSOhiE
No, I can't. I promised him.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBj3DLW7n9
But it'll feel so good…922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc40yPV2W1
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiPKrVG5FF
It'll be quick. Just one cut.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRBQgtJmfH
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC3yVMxWB0
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjjFRRyVHZ
Anytime, now…922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2a01i8Z89
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6QsBuIC2x
Is it raining?922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7D7HUhLOq
No, that’s impossible.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NyRbHAN9n
I can't see.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCAMQqj5kD
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaMUkZ8kDF
I can't breathe.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBY6cSNguX
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqHSJWhUiE
What's poking my leg…?922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1YVEOPIFR
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdygNimCMWu
How did it get there?922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEr1qgoNDb
I take it and hold it closely to myself.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX4kVKjcZq
How can something so evil look so beautiful?922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB1X7tkR2i
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsXFFRiFQX
So cold.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAiGNSuNgf
I press down and drive it across my skin.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8cwfyS6Ax
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZUjZckwf4
I take another breath.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwEKoxn4KL
Another.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30bIMl517z
My breathing comes harder, faster.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOsBiWApDl
I slide the blade and cut again, slicing more of my skin. I gasp, my arm stinging. A groan escapes my lips as the pain takes its place, the sick pleasure mixing in.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1cL6dOOQy
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjzNcHKPlq
I shut my eyes tightly.922Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLmFZeKz2j
I should not have done that.
