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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLuJBd5zE4
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKCgyE6eXv
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMO8425E9t
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzzEVy72qm
"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."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fS6BsCqGM
"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…777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu5gUPUGa0
777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhaN8IHMbO
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsS99bBbd9
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURiq1jisKg
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gDZG2Y9S4
Fake.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKfO2gyBJH
Not myself.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFfAaoofTu
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDofL9RQWU
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOb3Jo3kAL
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggGpjEvaSE
Help me, Ray! Help me!777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIctCScGEul
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPaniYEBXh
Voice mail.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx3UdoYtqf
I try again.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBThcYjdNc
No answer.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsi3uBpv7t
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSvCFxiU1B
I can't. I must stay strong.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cSyrMK3Ow
My tears come faster.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsB4DIFxMZ
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlX8UPZl50
"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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XukGzZ2Hs
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6xppZTrm1
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl18tXhhuJQ
Is it really that high?777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQh4Iy3vVV
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzAaAHS7il
I must move… I need to move.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWY65uwP5v
I eye the door.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZSEVqXR28
I will myself to sit up.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd0HIDETgb
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLWhmUToFz
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0c8uyRtW
I focus on the door.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLic5VY1Cjh
I crawl forward.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4EXQlL4bD
I need to get there.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFzEZyEzPy
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sf3gQk3xK
My legs are wobbly, broken.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJV9IXcrxO
Just a few more feet…777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Ly8NmHkm
I reach out my hand and take another step-777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFSeGPkxrk
and collapse to the ground.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePHHwVA9aI
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1VLGydRs9
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNp0rK2VyL
I suck in a breath.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNuMOlnOYY
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdkm8i7Njr
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp6qdjho6a
Just once.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnl9hof9HS
"Promise me."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq5Dz7lEC2
"I promise, Ray."777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMw5B6Gbs2
No, I can't. I promised him.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJsh4aAM7g
But it'll feel so good…777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3MAbtXxbR
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwKDKpH10d
It'll be quick. Just one cut.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqJkjBA87x
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuxWftQCll
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0iLh66h5g
Anytime, now…777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOkuLbyeqw
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6xOgYhMkj
Is it raining?777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbx7jowjGA
No, that’s impossible.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfju9hTLdSn
I can't see.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwAXXyHoaf
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0qR92SXun
I can't breathe.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlEY1HEB2L
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM8WepTVMd
What's poking my leg…?777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszb40GyvXs
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e3ej7A5SH
How did it get there?777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELAP0LcrE2
I take it and hold it closely to myself.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ3tIUXG6b
How can something so evil look so beautiful?777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxloPF94zzz
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrEKGCId68
So cold.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG2xHqN2wj
I press down and drive it across my skin.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRtRpRGE0F
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z91VjvE1n
I take another breath.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduEj4ZC0HZ
Another.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3q1UzWOLj
My breathing comes harder, faster.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVXUCAqzpN
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.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpTB08aW94
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v24Nqm7Wg
I shut my eyes tightly.777Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT2rrAhr7y
I should not have done that.
