Journey Of
Forgiveness
Chapter 2
I threw myself on the bed and began
crying my eyes out. I wasn't thinking straight anymore. I sat
up reached my arm down the side of my bed. I curled my fingers
around the knife when I felt the cool metal on my fingertips. But
before I could yank it up I thought of Jane. She wouldn't want
this, knowing about it now. What if she came back and saw me
yielding a knife to my wrist? What if she checked my arm again only
to see new cuts? I unwrapped my fingers and pulled my arm back up.
I cradled the arm I usually cut in my other arm, letting my tears
spill on my wrist. Eventually i got tired and lay down, but the
tears kept coming. It soon got dark, and my cries turned to sobs
which turned to sniffles. I sat up in the bed, and not even
thinking about it grabbed my phone. It began buzzing in my hands.
Jane was calling. I made an effort to steady my voice before
answering. "Hello?" I croaked. "Luci! Are you still
crying? Please don't be upset, please. Um, is it
okay if i stay the night in your house? I already asked my mom and
she is talking to your mom right now, but I wanted to know if you
were okay with it." I must not have been thinking straight
because I agreed. "Sure, when are you coming over?" I
said. "Um, how about I come over now?" Jane sounded
worried, but seemingly hopeful. I checked the time on my
wall. 8:30pm. "Ok." I sighed and hung up the
phone.
I climbed out of the bed and made my way over to the
mirror. My eyes were red and blotchy. My hair was a mess. I was hot
and sticky. I turned away from the mirror and went on to the
landing. "Mom, I'm gonna have a shower! Tell Jane to wait
downstairs for me when she comes!" I yelled down the stairs.
"Ok Hun!" My mom yelled back. I went to the presser and
got two towels, then headed into the bathroom and took a shower. I
heard when Jane arrived because of the doorbell and my mom was
talking to her. I finished my shower, dried off, put on clean
pajamas and headed downstairs slowly.
