Mitch: She can't still be mad about the blade thing.

Kirstie: No, there something else that is wrong.

Kevin: We should try to ask her.

Faith P O V

     I have been getting messages for the past 2 weeks about daddy Kaplan. I'm scared. I don't want Avi to die. I was lying on my bed with tears in my eyes. I don't know what to do.

     All six of my family members walked in my room without a notice. "Hey Faith. We want you to tell us what is going on." Avi demanded. I want to tell them, but I can't. How would I say it? 'It's because I've been getting text about murdering Avi' how would they take that?

1. They will ask a lot of questions

2. They will freak out

3. I will pay the price. Whatever that means.

     I stood quiet for a moment. "Faith, what's wrong?" brother Olusola repeated. I told them I was still mad about the blade thing. They didn't buy that. I got up from my bed and went over to my dresser drawers.

     They were talking to me. I wasn't really listening. Father Scott came up beside me. "You've been with us for a whole year. You can tell us anything." "No, I can't," I replied. We ended up arguing after that. They were walking towards me. I got claustrophobic. They were getting closer. As I was backing up, I did not see Wyatt laying there. I tripped over him causing me to fall. I grabbed my dresser, making it shake. I caught my balance. Something else falls off of my dresser. I looked over and saw my piggy bank all in pieces. What laid on the floor was, not only my money, but the last blade.

     I grabbed it. I also got my phone and ran into the bathroom. "NO FAITH!!!" I heard mama Mitch shout. I locked the door. I can hear them arguing and the two girls crying. Then I heard mother Kirstie say "Faith, you are hurting us more than you are hurting yourself."

     I can't stop crying. I didn't even make one slice. It was already stinging when she said that. Then I got another text.

*The text*

     This is the last text I'm going to give. Faith, go beside the woods. There is a road. Me and my partner will be waiting there with a car. We want you to go in it willingly without a fight. Everything will be at peace. If you do not do this, we will go to your house. Daddy Kaplan will surely die. You have a week to decide. You cannot tell anybody.

     My dreams!!! They are coming true. I burst into tears. I ran out of the bathroom and into Avi's arms. I hugged him tightly, dropping the last blade and crying out my eyes on his chest.

     I can't do this anymore. I have one more week with my family. I am going to make this week my best week. No cutting. No text. I'm going to act happy. Even tho I'm not. Starting now.
