'You look like you just got shot in the heart'

I've never once in my twenty two years heard such a depressing book quote read out loud.

It's strange how it's the most truthful thing about me in this moment as though I haven't been through such trouble to be shot in the heart. Yet, the life in front of me has experienced this exact feeling.

How must it feel? I'll never know. Who must have done it? I'll never know. I'll always adore the books that have me reaching for a sudden breath of air. And so I do.

I freeze. For the sound of a life dying becomes something unbearable to watch. There's nothing more painful. Nothing more miserable. I can't go back now. What happened? Who happened?

I can tell today will become the last day of my freedom. My love. My trust. My happiness.

I take two unsteady steps back. Two of my most painful steps back in my life. I begin to fall to the ground without any thought of getting help. I no longer deserve this life.

I will not cry.

I will not cry.

I'm trying to convince myself that everything will be ok. That things will get better with some help. But before I could. I feel a sharp pain against the back of head.

I'm unable to focus. Yet the sound of him soothes my soul.

"Ivy! Ivy where are you?!"
