Oh my god, I can’t breathe.

Stella: Please come home, I can’t fucking do this without you.

I can’t do this without you either, Stella.

Ty: We can fix this, Harms. Come home.

I wish we fucking could, Ty.

Kai: I shouldn’t have left you. I’m so fucking sorry.

Please don’t blame yourself.

Chase: Asher is a fucking mess, Harms. He needs you… and you need him.

The truth hurts.

Harlen: We all miss you.

I grab the glass bottle beside me and smash it on the concrete, splitting my hand open against the shattered glass.

Fuck!

I stand up and start pacing the rooftop. Around shaky hands, I scroll into my settings and click on the deactivate button—removing myself completely.

I know this is going to be a subtle sign that I’m alive and that I did, in fact, leave.

It’s going to hurt them, ruin them, but at least they can stop looking for my corpse.

Bile makes its way up my throat as I run to the edge of the rooftop and completely empty my stomach, I choke on my vomit as my eyes bleed a waterfall of tears.

I’m hysterical.

I can’t breathe.

Dropping to my knees, I bring my hands to my hair and start to tear at the strands.

As I close my eyes, all I see is darkness.

I’m instantly flashed back to the blood that drenched my neck, chest and hands after the assault.

That sick motherfucker has ruined me.

I’m nothing anymore.

Bringing my hands to my temples and squeezing, I scream out at the top of my lungs into the night sky, “WHY ME!” I listen to the echo as my voice bounces off each building.

Walking to the edge of the building, I lean over and look down.

I think about stepping off the ledge.

Would I find the wings Asher believes I have?

Would I fly? Or would I simply fall?

How many seconds would it take until this pain was truly over?

Until I was finally free?

I could finally push up from the ocean floor with no invisible tide holding me under. Glide through the water as I break the surface and breathe in freedom, complete peace.

Stepping up onto the ledge, I close my eyes. My stomach rolls and my throat thickens as I throw my head back and begin to take one of my final breaths.

I hear Asher’s words rush through my head as thick air fills my lungs.

“You belong in the light.”

I know what light he’s talking about and it’s not the light that is about to flash in front of my eyes.

What the fuck am I doing?

Stepping back from the ledge, I drop to my knees before screaming out.

I feel my bones tightening when I think about that night as I bring my fingers to the scar that marks my chest. I dig my nails into my flesh and start tearing at my skin, trying to rid myself of the son of a bitch that completely fucked up my life.

There’s blood everywhere, along with the skin underneath my nail beds, it looks like a crime scene.

I can’t do this anymore.

Taking a deep breath in, I try to remind myself of how far I’ve come.
