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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfxpW1gV64
"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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF6RtPNfFL
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rgTCd2bZV
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eVyZt1QPw
"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."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJylA6LUhtJ
"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…912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYHliUhePA
912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdhI34fM15
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiyAc7PlPZ
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj8tMCZL2A
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUX9vBSLwu
Fake.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs6v5Zq9BB
Not myself.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnAuOXp0uO
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcnPCeap2v
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpqCKjVCvh
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIqiTp4JKL
Help me, Ray! Help me!912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVkksDG177
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kDVvfNHiO
Voice mail.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfr3XGWlfq
I try again.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmW0Y0c7uE
No answer.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZylByQTwE5
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgnJZx8WO0
I can't. I must stay strong.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BbuAP5mnh
My tears come faster.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwXETRmCJL
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vDgAI9bnM
"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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FlJmN6LyM
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfKu7ZeH0a
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAmiJf8yE3
Is it really that high?912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCG0eCoKYK
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7kpyrVDc6
I must move… I need to move.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sg9hFyIvY
I eye the door.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCQYqIlJvE
I will myself to sit up.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xo4aldG0X
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobOSfp12Mh
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl5FJXJzdN
I focus on the door.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TWASbJZ1h
I crawl forward.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNQ1LmiESD
I need to get there.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtTFfJPqjt
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfZpjOSDEI
My legs are wobbly, broken.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFxcNknnDn
Just a few more feet…912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIA2iHnrgp
I reach out my hand and take another step-912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE5nTsBRZb
and collapse to the ground.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCylDtMDc9
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdyMdEp8QJ
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscv2Ix8hqq
I suck in a breath.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT1LeqKEiP
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ScKL6VqkZ
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9xduTG3Uc
Just once.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYeyRTr3bD
"Promise me."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ3QbCZfgV
"I promise, Ray."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8QLLENmEa
No, I can't. I promised him.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Mkrm7NiK
But it'll feel so good…912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIo5LQNgMT
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlz2tsO6SI
It'll be quick. Just one cut.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30iZ6UvAQD
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpmlA1aVcA
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLEpH8RcZH
Anytime, now…912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkzb5jdfJS
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J3FxdU5e5
Is it raining?912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKuUFfZoDe
No, that’s impossible.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfJIL9uJQI
I can't see.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthSoU0h8W0
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgrH1sWKJa
I can't breathe.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAJtkErHW9
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYDmWjAdaf
What's poking my leg…?912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WDMnHR8UH
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcZ4ft1IEG
How did it get there?912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhJEr76AG1
I take it and hold it closely to myself.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeWptSzvWr
How can something so evil look so beautiful?912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEqpGTrkMC
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YQrTyiN8X
So cold.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrOxhuntHs
I press down and drive it across my skin.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHCZryl4US
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDFXqpFGyl
I take another breath.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR0q1iU1TX
Another.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJUwhLyAvF
My breathing comes harder, faster.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI27l0JN4J
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtdEitfFFA
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYHNhXiA4J
I shut my eyes tightly.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKeQ0Vfx2S
I should not have done that.
