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.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQyn9fMP3L
"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.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA8XbebCzw
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtu5CKnDFr
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dTJkes6v2
"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."991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfucIEPbbD6
"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…991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBuJM6KmHI
991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy7d1VsV6m
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhhrXeLKyt
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.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSxywFLdA5
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzAp24gX6q
Fake.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF6v9hyfv1
Not myself.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV097MbZQL
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.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA95SIDED4s
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOpUgdheP2
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iealWoqLz
Help me, Ray! Help me!991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzDolLBDa4
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxhzyEFkta
Voice mail.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGNVEathIb
I try again.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYu8WfN896
No answer.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSAzxe510F
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.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMucnAzfbY
I can't. I must stay strong.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0mTbHYPDM
My tears come faster.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX5MtRpbc6
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEW2piVz6j
"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.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTqfQWbONx
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFZpwjEcSR
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgprDUE5hT
Is it really that high?991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M822Ka2oI
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vVaP61kCs
I must move… I need to move.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv8zvHN5L2
I eye the door.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlUF4s3ykG
I will myself to sit up.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjabrfHe5v
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulPe3QAqx2
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrgWAD2mkX
I focus on the door.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvNpjo7Chj
I crawl forward.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6adIIKsdZ
I need to get there.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tXbXlkeww
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSkr2mc4iZ
My legs are wobbly, broken.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu6eX1vlRy
Just a few more feet…991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUPBGbqSDv
I reach out my hand and take another step-991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0UelaKswA
and collapse to the ground.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyanybLhnw
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4ageg136d
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.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcouJr4Sdr8
I suck in a breath.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrI1op7iuv
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OxpB4iM1h
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GAgm5SDHR
Just once.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFVkIktXqQ
"Promise me."991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVjmytyl6F
"I promise, Ray."991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8p1xWhQn6
No, I can't. I promised him.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDR8rkFwR5
But it'll feel so good…991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeuFgYVIHM
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Skt3Se6v
It'll be quick. Just one cut.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcBcVsvAPn
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrPxAVkIUL
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd00XZild0m
Anytime, now…991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp8Q3wU9C6
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq4jQus9to
Is it raining?991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV1HBdNInT
No, that’s impossible.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwV9ubT3gM
I can't see.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpohicNdaLl
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUesLNvh8i
I can't breathe.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuouhmz334I
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewtpecIJeo
What's poking my leg…?991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswfjE69CtI
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdX48yin92
How did it get there?991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL8b2E4Yrb
I take it and hold it closely to myself.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGCY2QKyWM
How can something so evil look so beautiful?991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV68ZrssWAH
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoflBWLXpu
So cold.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8OqAc9ySO
I press down and drive it across my skin.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO0Part9CK
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwMRQagCAK
I take another breath.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBB2R2UFvv
Another.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmoW3OfEwv
My breathing comes harder, faster.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15cYIjtOO8
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.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbwK6Ddvz4
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub4uBBrUKC
I shut my eyes tightly.991Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxCHGX33pv
I should not have done that.
