Chapter 3: Sorrow.

Sometimes life seems too quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong

Caitlyn laid in the dark room. Her parents had locked her in her room. They had took her light bulb out of it's socket so she was in the dark. Knowing she was deathly afraid of the dark. She closed her eyes.

Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes

Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by-and-by

She felt her skin prickle as she felt her fathers breath on her neck. She whimpered. "No daddy don't" The sensation left as she heard Nate whisper into her ear. "Hey Baby"

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second, I felt whole
As you flew right through me

Caitlyn curled in a ball as cold seeped into her soul. The silence filled dark scared her. She blindly reached into her dresser and pulled out the necklace Nate gave her.

Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl
That's smothering me

Caitlyn heard someone whisper "Layla I love you." Her father laid on her and she struggled. She opened her eyes to find empty space. She turned on her side and saw her sister swinging from a noose inside her closet. Her breath hitched as she felt a fist slam into her stomach. She got up and looked into her mirror. It was illuminated by a small bulb her parent's neglected to remove. There was bruises on her face and blood ran down her face. She wiped her eyes to see nothing was there except her the ugly girl.

Sitting closer than my painHe knew each tear before it came

Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by-and-by

Nate wrapped his arms around her and she tried to grab the hand that was wrapped around her. He moved his hands to her face and wiped away a tear before disappearing. She threw a lipgloss tube at the light bulb bursting it. It cutting her wrist and face.

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second, I felt whole
As you flew right through me

She felt her blood slipping down her fingers from her wrist. She blinked and it disappeared. She gripped the necklace Nate gave her as she walked back to her bed. Her hands got sticky as blood gushed from her palm. She blinked and it remained.

And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's halfway mine
This sword is slicing through the question
So I won't be fooled by his angel light

Nate kissed her as he walkedinto Shane's apartment. "Caitlyn what happened to your face?" Shane asked She stuttered and Nate took a deep breath before saying. "I did it. I just got angry and she..." He paused bracing himself. Shane punched him and started kicking him while he was lying on the floor. "That'll teach you not to hit a girl." He said and spit on him. Nate got up and sat in the hallway.

"Caitlyn are you okay?" Nate asked her and she whispered "You're not real."

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second, I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And up into the stars

"Really Caitlyn?" Nate asked and she nodded. He kissed her wounded palm and slipped the necklace around her neck. "I wish you knew." He whispered and Caitlyn said. "I'm sorry you had to tell shane you hit me." "It's okay." "But I'm not."


Joy will come

Caitlyn I love you. Please don't forget" He looked into the moonless sky. "Caitlyn everything is gonna get better.

Sometimes life seems too quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong

Nate hugged her and a smile crept unto her face. Yeah it was dark. But that's okay because Nate was holding her and it was meant to make her strong.
