I feel myself running out of time (chapter 13)

Anaelle Johnson
I woke up feeling refreshed this morning knowing that my family was with me.
My mother made a marvelous breakfast. Something I hadn't had in a very long time, my favorite, her special pancakes with bacon. It was the best meal I've had in a long time. I regret eating it though. It made me sick. I guess that's what happens when you have barley eaten any food for such a long time and then hammer down some sweet pancakes.

My mother has been cleaning and taking care of my wounds. She keeps crying at the sight of me. I still haven't had the guts to look in a mirror. I'm afraid.
Afraid if myself.
Wait.. is that what Harry meant? No. It can't be. He said he was protecting me from myself.. but it could be because I'm afraid of myself..
No. I'm just psyching myself out. Im letting his words get to me.

I took a deep breath as I walked into the bathroom I closed my eyes. When I opened them I instantly started to cry. I looked awful. How was I even alive? I started to sob and I became weak. My arms and legs were so cut up and infected. My neck had scars and bruises from Harrys strong hands. My face.. I didn't even want to live after I saw it. I didn't recognize myself. I cried in the bathroom for almost an hour when my brother walked by, came in and attempted to comfort me. I thought surely I should've ran out of time being on this earth.. from the looks of it I should've been out of time months ago.

My mom called me downstairs after I had settled down. There was a package for me. How did someone get my address? How did they know I was in the "safe house"? Maybe it was from the police?
I opened it. There were some dead roses that looked awfully familiar.. and some pictures.. pictures of me.. they had dates on them.. the pictures were of me sleeping in that tiny room.. Harry must've taken pictures of me every night. All of us were crying as we saw the pictures. I looked worse and worse eveyday. After I counted all of the pictures I figured out that I had been there for three months. I then found a note... it read..
You know you love me. Come back.
You can't live without me. Come back.
You need my protection. Come back.
-Harry

I was never going back....
