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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNHyCLFW6L
"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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcIyGztTri
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kebE5go7L
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCaznnbrNJ
"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."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFTqpZuTNC
"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…1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCqSC66Oht

I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN8OWd3H9K
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKoqbII7cc
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeuEm8YeQJ
Fake.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0zQfVc4Ul
Not myself.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZcnybw2VV
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RxpznRYKK
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBzSZBjYtT
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejFKQSHCTw
Help me, Ray! Help me!1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11fCnQ4oSx
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfox8ZzPdTM
Voice mail.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRML175AVHs
I try again.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPUfQyb508
No answer.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv5XSDCaxV
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw41gNIDMkg
I can't. I must stay strong.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSnS6Q3cfV
My tears come faster.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BckXIYxFn
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkYe1SNVWq
"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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKJXvWYENG
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBCimMZ5TF
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAavpsaVAjJ
Is it really that high?1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabKDCR0DIv
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNeBPnwN7Q
I must move… I need to move.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpk9UX8NlP
I eye the door.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeYkUV4xkc
I will myself to sit up.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCjNF042IF
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ukwNVwh4A
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlXFfuzqTl
I focus on the door.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZViB9bNqn
I crawl forward.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9adrh3J3Ua
I need to get there.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV4PNrARAf
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojXKBUbYPx
My legs are wobbly, broken.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22y3EaBokr
Just a few more feet…1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmAgsJ36it
I reach out my hand and take another step-1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3zUExhkl2
and collapse to the ground.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsxCFVRiBH
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02gw0GwDw2
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAw3FyfVeQ
I suck in a breath.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxddj5QWhXd
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH9OBj5tS3
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qehGwTuxe
Just once.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtxpmQpaS3
"Promise me."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ueZjgKUV
"I promise, Ray."1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuFbphjT9S
No, I can't. I promised him.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN48un61LYI
But it'll feel so good…1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3IDYBYJH6
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBnK4Ft7nM
It'll be quick. Just one cut.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZjmtWxFWK
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINdNBM74z0
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqFApklgsY
Anytime, now…1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Txsud7Wl
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH0syWBbuj
Is it raining?1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpjDeHDXC1
No, that’s impossible.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMxEJWnaCS
I can't see.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LSNqBg0lp
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLWugzkHZD
I can't breathe.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LKgVj30JN
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj1jMsSeAQ
What's poking my leg…?1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXSOIjpQtT
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxaQKKIOuV
How did it get there?1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO5vfapZWq
I take it and hold it closely to myself.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux9TPlmS5m
How can something so evil look so beautiful?1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPee4qBfEvR
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEPHPPEV3y
So cold.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEJsTEKd2e
I press down and drive it across my skin.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQknGJ0tRn
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIMaLYAA9Y
I take another breath.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp4xWb7eJE
Another.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71dzPoIGef
My breathing comes harder, faster.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZeMCZX2kj
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.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VQZCYWc9h
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInO381HBeb
I shut my eyes tightly.1032Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3D4sXimg8
I should not have done that.
