Chapter 52:

Micah Grayson

As Cassie and Maddox slept in the master bedroom Micah was in the restroom having a mental breakdown. The voices he'd done so well at over powering were screaming inside of his head. The intensity was keeping him from sleeping as he pulled the risperdal prescription from the medicine cabinet.

His vision was becoming blurry as he frantically tried to open the pill bottle. His body was shaking so bad that when he did get the bottle open the pills fell out onto the floor.

Sliding down to the floor he began to slam his fist into his head repeatedly in hopes of ceasing the voices. This voice in particular wanted Micah to harm his wife and child.

They're making you crazy. You have to let them go Micah its the only way to keep you safe.

"Shut up!" Micah screamed.

Hearing shuffle of feet come to the bathroom door Micah bit down hard on his lip. He didn't want Cassie to see him like this.

"Babe are you okay?" Cassie said trying to twist the locked door handle. "Open the door Micah." She pleaded scared of what he could possibly be doing.

"I'm fine. Go back to bed." Micah managed to say through gritted teeth as he kept his eyes closed tightly resisting the urge to open the door for her while the voices were trying to take over.

"Let me help you." Cassie said on the verge of tears as she assumed the worse.

After his suicide attempt Cassie always feared he'd try it again.

"Go to fucking bed Cassie. I said I was fine."

Listening to her sniffling Micah could feel his heart swelling up. If only she knew he was just trying to protect her and his son.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled once she was finally away from the door.

Crawling to the tub he grabbed Cassie's razor.

They only way to stop the voices was to inflict pain on himself.

The babies crying now Micah. You hate the sound of crying. It reminds you of Melody's cries that made your parents forget you existed. You have to stop him from crying for good. He's taking Cassie away from you.

Shaking his head no as he tried not to believe what the voice was saying Micah attempted to drag the Razor deep across the skin of his arm causing bright red blood to drip down and hit the marble tiled floor. He kept cutting his forearm until he'd peeled off all the skin causing it to burn intensely.

Shaking from the pain he held his arm to his chest before standing up. Although pain was intense it wasn't enough to block his mind from the voices as they seemed to only get louder.

Still beating his head Micah used a towel to wrap around his bloody arm.

Maddox was still screaming and hollering which only triggered Micah more.

"Shut him up Cassandra!" Micah hollered.

"I'm trying." Cassie yelled back in her failing attempt to cease Maddox's cries.

You shut him up. Shut him up for good.

Opening the bathroom door Micah was now enraged. Storming into the room he walked toward Cassie who looked up at him in fear of how dark his eyes were. They were possessed. 

As she tried to shield her baby from her husband Cassie cried feeling Maddox's little body being snatched forcefully from her arms.

"Micah stop! Give him to me baby let me have him." Cassie pleaded as Micah held Maddox up by his little neck walking out the room toward the balcony.
