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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0m0TcXqb5
"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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJsSJGY6lv
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzhO68VVlR
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhycmQqWr68
"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."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwhkcELYsV
"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…952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtilTwEN8w
952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aejNxFwSy
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFL5gWWi8D
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡushtvKB6ko
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdfQqUSRaL
Fake.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo0ukWmOs9
Not myself.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cEYEVy2hr
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zwbaeSe5T
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpLfkqRMGx
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKUdaQKtGY
Help me, Ray! Help me!952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdRv1K21zz
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdZyrzbxXb
Voice mail.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyB0iUaDmU
I try again.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnd7vZQuEs
No answer.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLyTaTD5WI
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQNsgQ7M47
I can't. I must stay strong.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTKEZJwpO2
My tears come faster.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcmKLLUgHn
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CopBAeTx4
"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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF5gDhW8sZ
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rTsk32QfO
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgohna71KZ4
Is it really that high?952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYA4frAMs2
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H0OW9HwBm
I must move… I need to move.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPcZ3IdNuB
I eye the door.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCkSU7i28X
I will myself to sit up.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQgVNYrVha
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD62pVim4CN
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb99zZWgHq
I focus on the door.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04mehijLIj
I crawl forward.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGGKxzD0I8
I need to get there.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb7t5dGHmj
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanMhJUE9kA
My legs are wobbly, broken.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8h7HVN7aN
Just a few more feet…952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvPBeYLI7p
I reach out my hand and take another step-952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrY1xsk1if
and collapse to the ground.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiHfPOSg02
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH9JF72KNd
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMwh3Bzd6h
I suck in a breath.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqN0Y7dsq4
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZncANsbEfs
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhGc4zMsbl
Just once.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMNk8AoDX6
"Promise me."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMX4CAiUra
"I promise, Ray."952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSzpoAFRYB
No, I can't. I promised him.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkMsms3cdM
But it'll feel so good…952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSF0EtbDHz
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORYscYw3G6
It'll be quick. Just one cut.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUJwm8GSG5
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr2LEm5cKs
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8P4A7D1Po
Anytime, now…952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU8bixLmFw
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij0ucD7f3n
Is it raining?952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqKzfSWFzS
No, that’s impossible.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpRTp0kIy5
I can't see.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR4WsNMhkR
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstVTEEY1HV
I can't breathe.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8XDsY5QWF
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG0RZuWsKz
What's poking my leg…?952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyL9f8I5V2
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8UKdL9zuv
How did it get there?952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Z8uSgbIe
I take it and hold it closely to myself.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRdy5cpeZV
How can something so evil look so beautiful?952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzU2Gu48G5
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUhOuyHk62
So cold.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6VeOybpkb
I press down and drive it across my skin.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzbyM59O4U
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSj9eN3Xgf
I take another breath.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCoWEMShvA
Another.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHxYJ7SQld
My breathing comes harder, faster.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vvNCICgcT
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.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt9dr7Wqpe
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDJiqToGk
I shut my eyes tightly.952Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI07yxWYy1
I should not have done that.
