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.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sVtN1gh2Q
"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.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ng4L4z05
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOmO3orz3g
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgLFHOoG74
"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."776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhTZOLgsAE
"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…776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fi11TFykT
776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNwafsfepr
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ThGfixzk
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.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodIlgkwmhN
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa4BnnaYjc
Fake.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaD3DsLBbm
Not myself.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM1HbcRVTf
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.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1oCpycz1B
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjORHsq7j3t
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLMuIGq4sn
Help me, Ray! Help me!776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTs4qWn9MS
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b4IR8jmhn
Voice mail.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnbdt5lIR5
I try again.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeVT3H1LzV
No answer.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7BuF9vFRu
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.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbVGMjmphf
I can't. I must stay strong.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKwqghau4i
My tears come faster.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlq8JyuiZg
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpCsJQy8c0
"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.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIuwPxWIzE
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bDxGiQckK
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NnJNNKiwi
Is it really that high?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0N1m5YH4e
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMOhRIDf5Z
I must move… I need to move.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrkYE6y8YF
I eye the door.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQwiUBW6tw
I will myself to sit up.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1Fg69ILaz
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImJQGzbhPU
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ejbjBHJv
I focus on the door.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIbyYKC5Uu
I crawl forward.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyb12u30eI
I need to get there.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6HTXXyB9R
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VefKIXjoH
My legs are wobbly, broken.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS0JK2X3Ds
Just a few more feet…776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYArlYWu7A
I reach out my hand and take another step-776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnldB8NeZy
and collapse to the ground.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjykSSdOdh
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaYbhCXAq7
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.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyna1NHzLJy
I suck in a breath.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ZdkiVcQG
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpFlz7ecZK
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa2YjqPwrr
Just once.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmWu38MvbH
"Promise me."776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXAgo0ejX2
"I promise, Ray."776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL7sA81yQx
No, I can't. I promised him.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCrL7G4FBK
But it'll feel so good…776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Aw08DK1P
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPasNtF3zwy
It'll be quick. Just one cut.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJBxNprNxD
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh6YG7vRkD
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgpMxNuG3g
Anytime, now…776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lOpg3erGL
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZS65TPfO9
Is it raining?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy2Mo5H61g
No, that’s impossible.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8j9pXls23
I can't see.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBwpnlLubU
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmK8mIOuh6
I can't breathe.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kSHVAaG9h
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o8vAgH0FU
What's poking my leg…?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgkfwo5wc5
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bBWShDxGi
How did it get there?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEOmmJZGTm
I take it and hold it closely to myself.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjB5AMQsKH
How can something so evil look so beautiful?776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOBzwR2hi2
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mpzQ4LHud
So cold.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqBCtZmB0U
I press down and drive it across my skin.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkOQOzJndZ
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m0NcJMKVn
I take another breath.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1RZbpLf3R
Another.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGfeSm75UE
My breathing comes harder, faster.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y0UibRvnF
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.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkB8hYnkLn
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIyZQ19c2N
I shut my eyes tightly.776Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJeHszNL4j
I should not have done that.
