chapter twenty-nine:
❛ the old me is gone ❜

PLEASE DONT BE A GHOST READER!
COMMENT AND VOTE! IT HELPS US WRITERS STAY MOTIVATED:)

the reason i always say "please don't be a ghost reader" this isnt just because i want votes, i mean i do, but ive been writing on this app for 3 almost 4 years and it helps me stay motivated because that means people are reading my stuff. and unlike other people, they have so many views on their books and i know my writing isnt the best but i love to write and it just helps me stay motivated. and i know i unpublish and republish my chapters and i get thats really annoying

arizona stood in front of the mirror in johnny's apartment, the sunlight streaming in from the window behind her, casting long shadows across the room. she adjusted her gi, trying to focus on getting ready for karate practice, but her eyes kept drifting back to the reflection of her forearm. the ink stared back at her, bold and accusing-traitor. her stomach churned at the sight of it, and her breath hitched in her throat. it felt like a brand, a permanent reminder of what tory had done to her.

her hand shook as she brushed her fingers over the tattoo, and suddenly, the room seemed to tilt. everything around her blurred as the memory rushed in like a wave crashing over her, pulling her under.

she could see tory's face twisted with anger, her hands gripping arizona's arm as she held her down. the cold sting of the needle against her skin, the pain radiating through her body as tory tattooed the word-traitor. arizona had struggled, had screamed, but no one came. it was just her and tory, and the sound of the buzzing needle felt like it was drilling straight into her soul.

"you deserve this," tory had spat, her voice venomous. "you betrayed me. you betrayed all of us."

arizona's breath quickened as the memory suffocated her, the room closing in, her vision swimming. her chest tightened, and she gasped for air, but it felt like her lungs were closing off. her heart pounded in her ears, drowning out everything else. the mirror blurred as tears welled up in her eyes, and she stumbled back, her knees buckling as she collapsed onto the bed.

panic attack, her mind screamed, but she couldn't focus. couldn't stop the spiral. it was her first one in a long time, and it hit her like a freight train. her hands trembled violently as she clutched at her chest, trying to ground herself, but nothing worked. all she could see was tory, her cold smile, the pain, the ink.

how could she do this to me? arizona thought, her body shaking uncontrollably. her breaths came in short, sharp gasps, her mind swirling in chaos.

the door creaked open, but arizona didn't hear it over the sound of her own ragged breathing. miguel stepped into the guest bedroom, his brows furrowed as he noticed her on the bed, her entire body trembling. his heart dropped into his stomach.
