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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltvyrL1cIq
"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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoiEUkLujv
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaA57wCFv9
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLGNIQKMZ1
"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."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjoksl0fgh
"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…864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNzgui5AIu
864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafMzBmNi5U
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ItTg12EF4
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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf7Ah9DQM9
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAzEUFJKPn
Fake.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudv9SVrZCd
Not myself.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL7CM7yz0x
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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N3NYoYwm4
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsWlT5fPxn
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnFgPtofSq
Help me, Ray! Help me!864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanJrBnMUkf
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WlnjNXKaO
Voice mail.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUZ6UMO9eo
I try again.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx3r9kHg0W
No answer.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeQFtJlWVl
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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdtOBi6Irq
I can't. I must stay strong.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvaeIKaFoB
My tears come faster.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROG2JlRvHL
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb1GDn92KE
"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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52PCOKl12r
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeK8p3RV4X
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB2kyDQCK8
Is it really that high?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96tlsSVmVb
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZJpbJDrF8
I must move… I need to move.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3MpHS99hr
I eye the door.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQwXFf7M57
I will myself to sit up.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOrsXTpTl6
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMPIqcE9gB
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa4TN4ABfx
I focus on the door.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaoXj8XFr4
I crawl forward.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIWMZHdXUE
I need to get there.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qgP5eW2lU
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM3PcCPZ1c
My legs are wobbly, broken.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59QcBJah0t
Just a few more feet…864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYJnYtXOVT
I reach out my hand and take another step-864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6oea8TeFj
and collapse to the ground.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAZWuyom5W
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRdcjDwbku
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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYwpueUDZW
I suck in a breath.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ozMinZwjT
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwueecpEid7
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtZkEkifaU
Just once.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHGTuwUpRq
"Promise me."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO20HBvGdE
"I promise, Ray."864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Hsa8JvAy
No, I can't. I promised him.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU2PFaRPy4
But it'll feel so good…864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6j4ipRS9L
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujVmcPfR7j
It'll be quick. Just one cut.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LBeuAXw1y
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBm0q3oOwm
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE3DuqKXpR
Anytime, now…864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpNzyTROyp
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROkTh4q9uE
Is it raining?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dLqRNMizp
No, that’s impossible.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOPuiDEoLR
I can't see.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvSJGhQ9uz
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKevcr0ZvA
I can't breathe.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2bCWy685c
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG67jLS6GL
What's poking my leg…?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4hRiHo69y
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4PWK0Li7j
How did it get there?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTMkn8FQwY
I take it and hold it closely to myself.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHXZfDSlJ2
How can something so evil look so beautiful?864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOPpKXt6bo
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5UYCQDw77
So cold.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCPWx2DvxN
I press down and drive it across my skin.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ygsWZIdZx
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ddPrZaoUf
I take another breath.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrApRhizbpf
Another.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIShPVNTngS
My breathing comes harder, faster.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp7Eph90pQ
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.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFn9lqeo8u
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJuOZMS8A1
I shut my eyes tightly.864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD6GMTx0zH
I should not have done that.
