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.673Please respect copyright.PENANAuc3u5jOKEx
"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.673Please respect copyright.PENANAeWFPwRsesj
"Lucy," his voice is broken. "Please tell me you didn't."673Please respect copyright.PENANA005ulgQNqU
"I-I didn't." I take a deep, shaky breath. "But I almost did." He turns his head and shuts his eyes.673Please respect copyright.PENANA4n9D96pW6T
"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."673Please respect copyright.PENANAEiQBgSFT7l
"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…673Please respect copyright.PENANALutCDhiUMP
673Please respect copyright.PENANA9DSgNpkc4x
I open my eyes and stare at my wall, but it's not there.673Please respect copyright.PENANA1m8Ghv0ucW
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.673Please respect copyright.PENANA7eEvfLA0Z6
I feel nothing but pain and agony. A dark cloud is filling my head, making me seem heavy.673Please respect copyright.PENANAdsXbfX9iIp
Fake.673Please respect copyright.PENANALbVfqvm9gi
Not myself.673Please respect copyright.PENANAz3QuPQonpm
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.673Please respect copyright.PENANAliVKBX1ngU
Oh, Ray. Where are you?!673Please respect copyright.PENANA2GC4t7Ylb0
"I'm going somewhere with my parents and we won't be back until Friday. Call me if you need anything, OK?"673Please respect copyright.PENANA5SqAHNcj6h
Help me, Ray! Help me!673Please respect copyright.PENANAVmHFmm7Xzt
I punch in his number and put the phone to my ear.673Please respect copyright.PENANAigkk9ionBI
Voice mail.673Please respect copyright.PENANAtU346sM5pI
I try again.673Please respect copyright.PENANASmz9QCqMX0
No answer.673Please respect copyright.PENANALlPMa0PLDh
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.673Please respect copyright.PENANAMZMAqJ5dlG
I can't. I must stay strong.673Please respect copyright.PENANA1RIlk0OMfT
My tears come faster.673Please respect copyright.PENANAg1n0gOkpFS
Keep it together, Lucy. Keep it together.673Please respect copyright.PENANAr94pDFLGPK
"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.673Please respect copyright.PENANA8nyaxmzIft
"Ray!" I cry out. Please…673Please respect copyright.PENANAClCsWyFR2b
My hands fall to my sides, my hair a knotted mess. I stare silently at the ceiling.673Please respect copyright.PENANAlfoYLOwiVm
Is it really that high?673Please respect copyright.PENANAEc2m6wJT1c
I curl up on my side, staring into the black nothingness under my bed.673Please respect copyright.PENANAIFvX3kx4cj
I must move… I need to move.673Please respect copyright.PENANAwMcdhqWah3
I eye the door.673Please respect copyright.PENANA12MpI0u8Ce
I will myself to sit up.673Please respect copyright.PENANAPFBopyC2dj
My room turns upside down and goes blurry, my vision faltering. I still and wait for the dizziness to pass.673Please respect copyright.PENANAUU9P5wvsJY
I blink once – twice- and then sit on my knees.673Please respect copyright.PENANAtluVGg5K89
I focus on the door.673Please respect copyright.PENANAdjDUGkTlvH
I crawl forward.673Please respect copyright.PENANAMXXWXGuyXv
I need to get there.673Please respect copyright.PENANAZF25Zs0FcZ
I slowly try to stand up. I advance, pushing one leg forward and then the other, and repeat.673Please respect copyright.PENANA6vNeJxthvF
My legs are wobbly, broken.673Please respect copyright.PENANA8G4Z2qJGCd
Just a few more feet…673Please respect copyright.PENANA27LRuB6GxA
I reach out my hand and take another step-673Please respect copyright.PENANANri9yh9dVt
and collapse to the ground.673Please respect copyright.PENANAfXoCEHiJII
"No…" I try to stand again, but I can't get up.673Please respect copyright.PENANAgFij9944Z5
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.673Please respect copyright.PENANA5WiLFiMIJh
I suck in a breath.673Please respect copyright.PENANA4M4tBx7w3F
A chill of excitement and fear shoots up my arm, down my spine and spreads through my body.673Please respect copyright.PENANAoQvYBxC1NB
I bring the blade closer to me, another thrill flowing inside me.673Please respect copyright.PENANAbKxFUccnbv
Just once.673Please respect copyright.PENANAeFJV9uhmGe
"Promise me."673Please respect copyright.PENANAPoKSMKWktf
"I promise, Ray."673Please respect copyright.PENANATHuF6eKFBr
No, I can't. I promised him.673Please respect copyright.PENANAb9iZqX7mEu
But it'll feel so good…673Please respect copyright.PENANApTMcHo6pMn
I study the blade, turning it around in my hands.673Please respect copyright.PENANAdvwSjy5ZVi
It'll be quick. Just one cut.673Please respect copyright.PENANAqmgI7YpoTm
It'll heal quickly, faster than normally.673Please respect copyright.PENANAGT9XV1dzD4
Now's your chance, Ray… I look at the door, waiting for him to walk through and stop me.673Please respect copyright.PENANAVM48l5vlKT
Anytime, now…673Please respect copyright.PENANAPu8QxFce8S
My vision blurs. I feel drops on my skin.673Please respect copyright.PENANAgxu9GrjPgi
Is it raining?673Please respect copyright.PENANAs4kWOFi0mh
No, that’s impossible.673Please respect copyright.PENANABseXLUOE1y
I can't see.673Please respect copyright.PENANA0HYgoDnoPB
I try to take breath but I choke up, a heavy weight sitting on my chest. A rock is stuck in my throat.673Please respect copyright.PENANAsCi6d1mn5l
I can't breathe.673Please respect copyright.PENANAMmVWgydXGb
I thrash around, clawing at my throat. I make a gurgling sound, trying to swallow.673Please respect copyright.PENANAgPtJWEvnnB
What's poking my leg…?673Please respect copyright.PENANAF15CKfEN5I
I look down, choking on air, and spot the blade.673Please respect copyright.PENANATnOvaLkqsD
How did it get there?673Please respect copyright.PENANA08RJC7CZMq
I take it and hold it closely to myself.673Please respect copyright.PENANAUo1Ip8c5iB
How can something so evil look so beautiful?673Please respect copyright.PENANAldn2dQhboI
I bring it down to my wrist and shiver.673Please respect copyright.PENANAuvFfVhrkeg
So cold.673Please respect copyright.PENANAzdw6ZLsXDY
I press down and drive it across my skin.673Please respect copyright.PENANAKFwbtKlKeu
I let out a shaky breath that I didn't know I was holding. My blood drips warm and red down my arm.673Please respect copyright.PENANAWr2wJTRSUZ
I take another breath.673Please respect copyright.PENANACJ9PdTPmQP
Another.673Please respect copyright.PENANAsVt0HmdtAe
My breathing comes harder, faster.673Please respect copyright.PENANA3FBIoS10eS
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.673Please respect copyright.PENANAmjvPp4Iw96
I lean back, resting my head against my bed.673Please respect copyright.PENANAL9idyDYlLe
I shut my eyes tightly.673Please respect copyright.PENANAh2d98Gv0TD
I should not have done that.
