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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApLh3BNXwg
"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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1icVPAj4WH
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqTvAA8ubv
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECZVC7mGOQ
"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."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQE2mktlzF
"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…913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOhovDR3en
913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCIVTcVnSR
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2saJKnrrD
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtee4JB7Hb
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vjgWJM0Dk
Fake.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5fUWsU9ph
Not myself.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAypuXHgawm
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy8ax2Wtxg
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmnYCBSy0B
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoppd8Firc
Help me, Ray! Help me!913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExLXrA6kRy
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c7TiROvp9
Voice mail.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3up5VMqyEK
I try again.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKuA6YW872
No answer.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y4PQ2ECb5
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsgC27TUMY
I can't. I must stay strong.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aPK2Mr4kz
My tears come faster.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkEwnlvbYY
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwORNxpVVKX
"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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TEBxn0IxM
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQRSajjQn0
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlzyyma9uv
Is it really that high?913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BqsrSbqss
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWQmS74Dke
I must move… I need to move.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDAlTQOMzU
I eye the door.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZWgrGy5cQ
I will myself to sit up.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xMX7hOKB0
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc2292Lrkj
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkDbzUwtqs
I focus on the door.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVRBuJnQ6V
I crawl forward.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghX0gZDTC3
I need to get there.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfYhCmYsSZ
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUyc5IjdnX
My legs are wobbly, broken.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapYkNda1aB
Just a few more feet…913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA8ueMLH3K
I reach out my hand and take another step-913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjTudpLBuv
and collapse to the ground.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YtyH3sxLZ
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquS4Mxp5Vq
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S1i2g7cnc
I suck in a breath.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfofbBeU4j
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cBH1V9mT1
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R05zDjd20
Just once.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVOdUeIUMj
"Promise me."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6ezJhclqm
"I promise, Ray."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNFk50RVef
No, I can't. I promised him.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqrG6Xg6Ns
But it'll feel so good…913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVf9GaDJnt
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiEa9GArjW
It'll be quick. Just one cut.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvcxcuesLS
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWUxvTK6Ci
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraHswmEz3B
Anytime, now…913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDe3eoB7UV
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg1lRN3Tlk
Is it raining?913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6GvxdN2ZG
No, that’s impossible.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jj6XWapoY
I can't see.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2UrSnHPc0
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrRveN9wTV
I can't breathe.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3quzbpVrbn
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGg1gcLBBA
What's poking my leg…?913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zuecb5QcJ
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uzfxPNNfA
How did it get there?913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOMyWZRh2V
I take it and hold it closely to myself.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWw3VwETBO
How can something so evil look so beautiful?913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TIS8HZWMp
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiQWikIPdw
So cold.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVwFuaS1Kb
I press down and drive it across my skin.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9DqXU7Jh2
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluHXBzwdEc
I take another breath.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm5VvNXvM4
Another.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowNIBI9ltB
My breathing comes harder, faster.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzpyczZE5r
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.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKGlNSEw5i
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tBUNmbSiP
I shut my eyes tightly.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bk3F2jt3c
I should not have done that.
