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.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKfv4zs70h
"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.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bn1slz5R1
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzBD2JZyFY
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj7J14LJBY
"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."753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZniY7xGKv7
"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…753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwgZ60YzAd
753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ECrHF5S9E
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVUKcoKeol
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.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF5dosxzA4
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLoX4At6Cz
Fake.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFsSuxl6Bj
Not myself.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3hhMII9bN
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.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRvQjNnJCN
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTylauIhu7b
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2sVDx306U
Help me, Ray! Help me!753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFlCi6wzQK
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OObw5lkAl
Voice mail.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkJzCYc2TN
I try again.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO03YoT0OOe
No answer.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAggJnfDpo7
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.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIabSznoEm
I can't. I must stay strong.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Y8UYP9n1
My tears come faster.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7sexOuqnk
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurajiVbC6n
"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.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9pHJoPp79
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiyvdH9jaz
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzNvDU34kP
Is it really that high?753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe7WuwQaA5
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGOcg7KIW2
I must move… I need to move.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGyKd4stk6
I eye the door.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZwHebzJRc
I will myself to sit up.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWn4JbTPqc
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr6Tcq2HlI
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0rhT3kw4b
I focus on the door.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5c5zb0jiU
I crawl forward.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2mepcK4TD
I need to get there.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz5ZiRnUIe
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa63ZgQ1itF
My legs are wobbly, broken.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcsVLi1Eb1
Just a few more feet…753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGwAyxmxLZ
I reach out my hand and take another step-753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75c7XBaa8n
and collapse to the ground.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZPT3dew3c
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qZ6QVQOBe
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.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci5E6Q362F
I suck in a breath.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJMuABopi9
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0lrllPeLl
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET32p5wqea
Just once.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaqM9DJXQr
"Promise me."753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL3ylkcKsC
"I promise, Ray."753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6aDbQQZPm
No, I can't. I promised him.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocHQzgGXVV
But it'll feel so good…753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlO5j4QJtT
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlhZvjd2vj
It'll be quick. Just one cut.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu0UAN9Znq
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEnsifghss
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW8PfK8MkX
Anytime, now…753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cgQI5Qs4t
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshTs7cnEFO
Is it raining?753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbqZO9V5j9
No, that’s impossible.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPK2BNvcnp
I can't see.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbv3ejpewc
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAomUqOWe7C
I can't breathe.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7dR2UzJ1w
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuKfVo0NC7
What's poking my leg…?753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKFkvdT6bu
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ATdKyjYhK
How did it get there?753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid3tyNam7S
I take it and hold it closely to myself.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi6tThXaoH
How can something so evil look so beautiful?753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdxnyaN17C
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCc0pQJBAC
So cold.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkxGWRwEzD
I press down and drive it across my skin.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYWZSvndGz
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd8S4buE3C
I take another breath.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvVIFbQRfx
Another.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1gi0WU74X
My breathing comes harder, faster.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBG4LCJB7z
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.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva2Lu4VVG1
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8fx6zJn12
I shut my eyes tightly.753Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLN3lmu6GK
I should not have done that.
