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.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4woa3T30t
"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.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJCGsURuBE
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbak9V2s6jM
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSHspHVHDY
"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."992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEXjPFliFU
"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…992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDkYmd5Z21
992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuO4lwPkMa
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAPQcbwu56
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.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEATYD7FUwh
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtNPZejR1w
Fake.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKgdtULQlE
Not myself.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavmn4Z8uSg
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.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7W3jTQmDu
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6I58MgW57
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvSNhEKzlq
Help me, Ray! Help me!992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug58uB15Sp
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo55G7oPW9
Voice mail.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGT10hqP1O
I try again.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqwuUA7w8E
No answer.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT6HG1U62o
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.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46kRO0uole
I can't. I must stay strong.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡche52X8MO9
My tears come faster.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLNH5hFFg1
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F2ETNMAuF
"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.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLARhyAIlcl
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI7ejfnQ9V
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hx6LIv8J7
Is it really that high?992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyshnEYkLbd
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTazJ8Zwq5m
I must move… I need to move.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3tzgFDtB2
I eye the door.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB6v7IVS4o
I will myself to sit up.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsk7rUyzl5
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P96zcOl7A
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ryxhyI84w
I focus on the door.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3cvVdED8w
I crawl forward.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMSXJhb0oH
I need to get there.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2ahdwV8jn
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe1hCwz4zr
My legs are wobbly, broken.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcD8ip4PAn
Just a few more feet…992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1AyI2E1Re
I reach out my hand and take another step-992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9ZEwG5BPK
and collapse to the ground.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqwiAsnQQ7
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzduTY5VApg
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.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkfpehSUgi
I suck in a breath.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3qCpZgmQk
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECKlMxEpvC
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdgjMQvVWC
Just once.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph9YHQutHf
"Promise me."992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWJQS8U6zQ
"I promise, Ray."992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzRnMWA5f7
No, I can't. I promised him.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzLyMwzzz8
But it'll feel so good…992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKkFceAiAV
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas0XKlghri
It'll be quick. Just one cut.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcwUsWBenK
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf1iwPZ7qG
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaJzRLZiV4
Anytime, now…992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEfioBmrlv
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZidbTQmuTf
Is it raining?992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOim2FMmjt0
No, that’s impossible.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObPNBqCdMv
I can't see.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCDTDTMqm4
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebDpjqe7yg
I can't breathe.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS0CcfOESZ
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5gHLiajJ7
What's poking my leg…?992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lo4lBxcFd
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuRGAiIjBE
How did it get there?992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o1EqD5Sjr
I take it and hold it closely to myself.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcH7SuOGKe
How can something so evil look so beautiful?992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPdnV9m2qG
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRUq90IqlR
So cold.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU48uQlaEjp
I press down and drive it across my skin.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81RR5Cb2Qo
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZGZ2Acm25
I take another breath.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyffJrZFxNE
Another.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxscczjkkP
My breathing comes harder, faster.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZr0vBMnga
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.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2qWlpwICJ
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwan5cZ5aJO
I shut my eyes tightly.992Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBKVsGMjs7
I should not have done that.
