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.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbatgX00op
"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.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtZx5YT4bJ
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKKrko0ELs
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUJZaS5qjK
"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."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTDZf4IXlR
"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…877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJl8dl4VP4
877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ROXM4Kef
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoPL41qijE
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.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f7Z0A2Qyb
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmGdjZgIV6
Fake.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxyaQ3jwi0
Not myself.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2R1m0RHH4
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.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX8FhXX7tA
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1zdFCxS1z
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfdki16D1y
Help me, Ray! Help me!877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx99XvhLo7t
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlGeCQo7G3
Voice mail.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2SXx3dQV0
I try again.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX3Yq6vPym
No answer.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX4Dn6AvTE
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.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImySZTTUBZ
I can't. I must stay strong.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ypPxrsa8
My tears come faster.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPm0WRFQll
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7BisJ8in4
"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.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsV6dm1U54
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxmZXB9XwV
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXzd5sSYUj
Is it really that high?877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5fQH5Xqd2
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ53tlMpcE
I must move… I need to move.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh9pStRMRQ
I eye the door.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFrFJSAkct
I will myself to sit up.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIF3mq5rZE
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUUnmYXm4N
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbjg105yiJ
I focus on the door.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSN4t9ZRK9
I crawl forward.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasQzFjuWL6
I need to get there.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkvXHeyxGS
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8BXmN6vDq
My legs are wobbly, broken.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xGky1QjV5
Just a few more feet…877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjzjDMhh14
I reach out my hand and take another step-877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkKXcreC5I
and collapse to the ground.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrcu2JAnHj
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83dZ7sgSnk
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.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg4i1dORj2
I suck in a breath.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRuDAfiNV7
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z4AjzOh8k
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddcvbbSWrW
Just once.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHAsOio49b
"Promise me."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H009OT7hp
"I promise, Ray."877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fI2x1qQrV
No, I can't. I promised him.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYXiedLH1R
But it'll feel so good…877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjxnnxYNNu
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShO7LDl6jI
It'll be quick. Just one cut.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XUSWtssg3
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNxm2a3RCu
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnSEhlYt8v
Anytime, now…877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAca1iO285
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ8VcoykNh
Is it raining?877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb2MBt2Zbt
No, that’s impossible.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVA8GK2F4A
I can't see.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg7A2mTtBX
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75TMI1dLFI
I can't breathe.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h1fK5Ixsd
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqT2WbJnA3
What's poking my leg…?877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClsRk3Dz5X
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI3lnA7MKx
How did it get there?877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEvj26941u
I take it and hold it closely to myself.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ueIfAf9m
How can something so evil look so beautiful?877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFW1SSgSDq
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPpjSknNPg
So cold.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtG7d7Jqgc
I press down and drive it across my skin.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7EjoWnQ7V
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez5eDpwQNq
I take another breath.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqOTgyuxms
Another.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zAYfYN4rR
My breathing comes harder, faster.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVuGxTwpCD
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.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CLifFopDH
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWzbnughZX
I shut my eyes tightly.877Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPgUNh8IO4
I should not have done that.
