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.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhXz1mUo1v
"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.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUpSfvRExz
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE9hUixpaS
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHDdFgbhrA
"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."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZnpZgJNB7
"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…878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT20HjP2skZ

I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoMHuhPmUH
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.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34JEUY9uvj
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uwgF2kBqr
Fake.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7NAGpYlpk
Not myself.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwiwoAT2cY
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.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKufKKOA4jY
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EJKDqpB7d
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnoU6S036Q
Help me, Ray! Help me!878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk4Ux2B094
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvTBJIcdpP
Voice mail.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKIoMxh6rb
I try again.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ418T7YxOWi
No answer.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzkKz758a1
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.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvGPIHA2jn
I can't. I must stay strong.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ7rD4nl4G
My tears come faster.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YLEm7YXG4
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMdgLQpVxp
"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.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmzhmdYBcX
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacoHmR6dP7
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARV3T3Znu7
Is it really that high?878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nOXpNeXsd
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmjMRbx71D
I must move… I need to move.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkwzeK08qJ
I eye the door.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnpuy0ELkY
I will myself to sit up.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXWjCL5vhu
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu609yRaHL
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ623qTO5qJz
I focus on the door.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EMvKl0Bpe
I crawl forward.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1xxaWxGse
I need to get there.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTj8X1nol7
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYhEk8EjMM
My legs are wobbly, broken.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYeZENi16L
Just a few more feet…878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsb8YNqFD3
I reach out my hand and take another step-878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXaUBf8kLW
and collapse to the ground.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIDBsYaS51
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEHo2FxAHV
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.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW64snIOt7H
I suck in a breath.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD5DqZIVt0
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIwS0b4YPO
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraRD2wfphj
Just once.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuPxISsR3G
"Promise me."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQiWNynrgB
"I promise, Ray."878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ntQrRCcuD
No, I can't. I promised him.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFsfkegig8
But it'll feel so good…878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKu166RliS
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxZ1UXbkBd
It'll be quick. Just one cut.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr36Z0SW3P
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvFqX0bIYH
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2tOzFAdan
Anytime, now…878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRKF8JBTu9
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat85qExpg6
Is it raining?878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAep87HnBVo
No, that’s impossible.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1cg2bsLoC
I can't see.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO12jJeHah
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoziybYgDKJ
I can't breathe.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtewgsyzbyj
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSwQygAudb
What's poking my leg…?878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHCJBiq3pe
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uyT2DggIz
How did it get there?878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH8ZW42RN9
I take it and hold it closely to myself.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHdiBfVYbB
How can something so evil look so beautiful?878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7AGfgqwax
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2pich4Zga
So cold.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7LUE6cgHp
I press down and drive it across my skin.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6jb3ZBxmN
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnkiY4Uc3p
I take another breath.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUervnjHFzb
Another.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXnw9HjJ3V
My breathing comes harder, faster.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI8MarUyzG
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.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PBfJTIn1Y
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Vry1GDQA
I shut my eyes tightly.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFi2gGCPk5
I should not have done that.8964 copyright protection874ＰＥＮＡＮＡDicrLntmCi 維尼
