That's exactly what I didn't want to hear.

"See you later Lexi." He gave me a small smile before closing the door behind him and leaving.

I don't know if it was Lincoln's words or everything else that was going on, but that night I ended up sitting in the shower, cold water running down my body as I watched the blood go down the drain.

I realized that I could hurt myself all night, trying to stop the pain, but I would not find peace of mind.

In order to achieve complete peace, I only need to do one thing, just press a little harder and all worries would disappear. Well, at least I think they would.

My head is a mess. And I look even worse on the outside.

It's been a week since Lexi left. She hasn't responded to any of my messages and Lincoln and the others won't tell me anything about her. I guess she told them that, I really don't know.

He didn't deserve it, he was just trying to help me, but the only person who could really help me doesn't even want to hear from me.
