I'd never find the evidence so horrible
To clear my thoughts
I drill a hole into my skull
Clean up my brains
Sweep them underneath the rug
I needed them more than I needed
Any other drug

Falling Down - Atreyu

8 Years Later.

That night haunts my every waking dream. His hands lingering on my flesh, the ripping, searing pain between my legs. Sometimes I wake, only to wish to die. I'm a living dead girl with no hope of life.

Erik lay in front of me, his shallow breathing the curse of my stupidity. Heartbeat a steady fade, but I had complete faith in his complete ability to recover. How was I supposed to stop it from spreading.... When he had done it himself....

Brittany's footsteps interrupt my thoughts, and I flee. Without a second thought my life is to end.
