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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M8095lFmS
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBD213qJW4
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxf29BP4Ck
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40p2Qevy18
"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."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RqPS7QUxR
"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…803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdnRdQLAyo
803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTkX0cA7J6
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH8zGOG79s
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv04r5JlinU
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMCGHLaCmY
Fake.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1BdLxhkaK
Not myself.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu1qUA3str
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwszzdsOjNJ
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdLDLUtqw6
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9AnJzum4s
Help me, Ray! Help me!803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv5gzAepeK
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCasm2e1Vs
Voice mail.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUndGIL9bQ
I try again.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kMiLSZDSo
No answer.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2kT0YKz8f
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLqq9iIJqp
I can't. I must stay strong.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2my6BY9Zz5
My tears come faster.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoil2IUXkh
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELSQ6F2pQA
"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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRi7tS8sDQ
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqEKoWgkPj
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpkQo92ibE
Is it really that high?803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp9ZhR44gq
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QSA7TazMr
I must move… I need to move.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCFPy02vKD
I eye the door.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SUcsolxx9
I will myself to sit up.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuxDk5zKXe
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL3fLaLos5
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGKiWWB1R2
I focus on the door.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHWnxyLVFW
I crawl forward.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIWeVCcxwe
I need to get there.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSTa30OcQZ
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONMT04k5rM
My legs are wobbly, broken.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4tftQAc2M
Just a few more feet…803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kvfiVXH0e
I reach out my hand and take another step-803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENALcjP76H
and collapse to the ground.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShYVTESkkI
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM10il0Lwz
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNveLpaXH2c
I suck in a breath.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1A1SFFPMm
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz7EOTEiW2
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsWvMpVVz6
Just once.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R0hwk33dJ
"Promise me."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1qTHoVwvS
"I promise, Ray."803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO5ZPuCNFZ
No, I can't. I promised him.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48xrFT7GCq
But it'll feel so good…803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWhkTTKor4
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL7knNlDbW
It'll be quick. Just one cut.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSOb0AKwWV
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhsjbZpaGb
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O7rZDvWtN
Anytime, now…803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb6HrqKI4q
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogfvWGilkC
Is it raining?803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVCgW6m4x4
No, that’s impossible.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLel4EuD05
I can't see.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yG8qptH3X
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9DDl2OA6L
I can't breathe.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuThZcnWxs
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJLscM130E
What's poking my leg…?803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaK6K6avbV
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBAAqixQBe
How did it get there?803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWDXIEcHbG
I take it and hold it closely to myself.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BxIZUnwyU
How can something so evil look so beautiful?803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSaAx1uRc4
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7aYpmldCx
So cold.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulirLnBeQ5
I press down and drive it across my skin.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxp9XY8rGD
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbQFRnrHrg
I take another breath.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaSTgvUJzk
Another.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOGfmlswHf
My breathing comes harder, faster.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BFy5FxH4y
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.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yrK2znRf8
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKCLxNfSMS
I shut my eyes tightly.803Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ116jOYvjmL
I should not have done that.
