I'm lost. Broken. And nobody knows. I help people, and when you help people, you don't get help. I couldn't look at myself think how a mess I was. It was too late for me to be fixed. Nobody could help me. I was too deep in it for being saved. I had...

"Just remember there are not all bad people in the world." We were currently in group therapy, and Dr. Ryan is talking about our problems like always. It's been a month now since Ben, and I got together.
I never felt better in my life before. He makes me so happy.
"Okay, that's it for this week. You can all go." We all stood up and began to walk to our room. Someone grabs my hand, spinning me around, so I fell against their chest.
"Come with me."
I looked straight into Ben's eyes and smiled. He smiled at me while pushing a strand of hair behind my ear, letting his hand rest on my cheek. I slowly lean in, and so does he. His lips find mine and kiss me slowly and carefully. My hands find their way to his chest pulling him closer.
We pulled away when we hear someone clearing their throat behind us.
"Lena, there is someone there to see you." Dr. Ryan said, looking at Ben and me. I let go of Ben and followed her. We walked to a small room where people talk with their family or friends.
Dr. Ryan opened the door and mentioned me to go inside. She closes the door with a small smile leaving me alone with the person in the same room.
"Nice to see you again, Lena." That voice made my heart beat faster and my hands sweaty.
When I turn around, I saw him, the person who made my life a living hell. He was sitting there looking at me like I'm his property.
"Erick, w-what are you doing here." My voice was more like a whisper.
He stood up and walked to me, which made me take a few steps back.
He smirks at me when my back hits the wall behind me.
"That wasn't very smart of you, trying to kill yourself." He places his hand on my arm, rubbing it.
"Now, my family doesn't want me to be with you, but I talk to them and say that I wanted to." He places his other hand on my waist, taking a step closer.
"You are not that beautiful, but you will do for now." I could feel tears burning in my eyes.
"But when you're out of here, you're not coming back to me, aren't you." He smirked at me when he took a piece of my hair, twisting it around in his hands.
"No, you have made new friends here, didn't you. Like Paige, Sarah." I hated how he can play with my fear and enjoying it.
" And Ben." He laughs, letting go of my hair.
"I know what you have with him, and I don't like it. He is not like one of us, and beside your mine, no one else's. I wonder what your parents would do if they find out." I know he would make his life and mine a living hell.
"Please don't hurt him," I whisper with tears in my eyes.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt him now. I'm going to hurt him when he's out of here and maybe his family." This is all my fault. I know what he would do.
"No, please don't." He slaps me across my face with the back of my hand.
"Don't talk back to me like that!" He growls at me, grabbing my arms in his hand.
"When I'm done with him, Paige well is next, and I'm going to continue until your all alone."
His grip in my hands became tighter by the second.
"So watch your back when you're out of here, Lena, because you will regret what you did." He let go of me and walk out of the room, leaving me alone here. It's all my fault.
He's going to hurt all the people I love, and I'm going to end up all alone. The room was spinning when I felt hot tears on my cheeks. I needed to get out of the room where I could smell him, the person who I hate so much.
I run into the hallway to my room, closing the door behind me. Why couldn't I die that night? It would make things better. Tears were streaming down my face on the pillow when I sat on the bed.
"Lena ?" I think I cry for hours before someone walked into my room. The bed slump behind me, and I could feel two arms wrapping around my waist, pulling me closer to their chest.
"Lena, are you okay?" It was Ben.
How could I tell him that I can't be with him because of Erick? I turn around, facing him.
"He knows."
He looked at me confused, wiping away a tear from my cheek.
"Erick was here, and he knows about us. I don't know how, but he said he would hurt you and even your family. He will hurt everyone I love until I'm all alone." By now, more tears stream down my cheek, and I was sobbing like crazy.
Ben pull me closer, stroking my hair.
"Ssh, it's okay, don't blame yourself. We will get through this together, I promise." I nodded, but I know that Erick is going to make my life a living hell.
