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.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lVU83z9tw
"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.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd5eH6JmNO
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo2N1MdPf9
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ENWgayw0
"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."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB27AKBeZXl
"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…919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjkfgk59us
919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCTVCLUEro
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV0Iu7RnC9
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.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR1jTZqObN
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXZVjR62qP
Fake.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23SsXXYmxj
Not myself.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOcCmzro7J
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.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEeEl2xkH5
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MlIoWVDwV
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lKli5YJ1a
Help me, Ray! Help me!919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRHexMYlgb
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop3EioPeqW
Voice mail.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeqxfBIE9n
I try again.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBxOvnfIu1
No answer.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC7PtD30Qc
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.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiKSvKURD7
I can't. I must stay strong.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRHKNDyWHz
My tears come faster.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB17RD9s1x
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfADAHL1eZ
"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.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjCdzDebWD
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11uAhBBKqO
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Kx33NGW8
Is it really that high?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ0Tdz3jB0
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO659DBL43
I must move… I need to move.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpIG39v3mK
I eye the door.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJcR8K5y1b
I will myself to sit up.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVBmqOMP8N
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPP19Sn6Br
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCnxDPxvBB
I focus on the door.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA2qRrmpqN
I crawl forward.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDB9pmM24J
I need to get there.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRxxHL6YoP
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcdisFyY4o
My legs are wobbly, broken.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TwK0hhhgv
Just a few more feet…919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZO9i5VfBa
I reach out my hand and take another step-919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BJaQuoJOt
and collapse to the ground.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5pzszQG9x
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOakHBy1w15
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.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcAJu1C8ed
I suck in a breath.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxKKeYssfO
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRJlDNWFSZ
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Jh4AQRki
Just once.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO58WYjzSZb
"Promise me."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTEqSA2Xzl
"I promise, Ray."919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpc1jNY11v
No, I can't. I promised him.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2jWhQQ5OL
But it'll feel so good…919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOEsuBXiRY
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZB5dB7kYZ
It'll be quick. Just one cut.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjiofxQq8J
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQuS8CPxl8
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OGiYzhfqp
Anytime, now…919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWY2gAkuep
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1olGu91OCw
Is it raining?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDWRA71NGR
No, that’s impossible.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApYhuwFnNq
I can't see.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsg4c3qmHq
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbftyzTQUz
I can't breathe.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll5giQ3VeI
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEnAQbOOcJ
What's poking my leg…?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzfuWV8yyi
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNeh05srVH
How did it get there?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaFGbwQxFY
I take it and hold it closely to myself.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvbopL1DW1
How can something so evil look so beautiful?919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjGKHwnkyB
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5zFyF3Vev
So cold.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjNhQfkWHS
I press down and drive it across my skin.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRcPc8t4jI
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZBOhszLvk
I take another breath.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfplQtmk5c
Another.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpzY3bAqsH
My breathing comes harder, faster.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3pIEfvK8I
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.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ3ICLQ5pQ
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqqL86Ae9s
I shut my eyes tightly.919Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSJUpTb0ax
I should not have done that.
