Sometime after the doctor left, Christian rushed into the room. Before anyone could say hello, he ran to me and hugged me. It was one of those bone-crushing, unable to breathe sort of hugs.
It seemed like forever that he held me in that position, when he finally let me go and sat down on one of the two chairs. "Are you okay, Skyler?" he asked frantically. I laughed humorlessly. "Christian, I'm fine!" I declared. "You don't need to worry about me," I added. I sat up and looked around. Momma had fallen asleep on the couch near the window, while Chris sat in the other chair. Damon had positioned himself against the wall near the door. His hair was disheveled, as if he'd ran his hands through it countless times to fix it, but ultimately failed. I'd love to course my hands over every inch of his skin...
What is wrong with me? I shouldn't be thinking these things about a man who looks as old as my brother.
What a fucking hypocrite you are, a voice resounded from the back of my mind. It resembled his voice. I laid back down and shut my eyes, a pounding headache creeping its way to the front of my head.
Come on, babygirl... You know you want to...
Shut up! I internally screamed at the enticing voice in my head.
No one has to know, just like the last time...
That was when I released a scream that could shatter your eardrums.

"I don't know what I can do anymore. If I turn myself in, the cops won't believe me. Even if I write it down, actions speak louder than words. Who would believe me?"
Setting the black leather-bound journal on the coffee table in front of him, he hid his face in his clammy hands. He didn't know how to stop the man in the mirror. It felt as if all the odds were against him.
If he went to the cops and told them everything, they would think he was lying about him. The man recalled some of the killings, but not enough to describe in full detail.
So basically, he was screwed.
But what sin had he committed to warrant such an agonizing punishment?
