"There's hope after the pain."

Third Person

Lilie woke up to the darkness that opened her up causing her to be even more nervous and her hand to tremble.

She did not realize that there were tears in her eyes, she just let them go and did not wipe them. She was even more scared because she did not know where she was now. Whether she is safe here or trustworthy who is the one who took her.

She wants to run away, she wants to hide and not just live here on earth. She did not know what she had done wrong to make the world do this to her.

She dreamed again of what had happened to her a few weeks ago. She felt that the man was just around here and ready to do what was done to her again.

The girl just pulled her hair and grip it tightly, she did not know what to do. She is scared. She wants to forget everything, but how?

She just screamed when someone held her hand causing him to tremble even more and her fear prevailed even more.

"Lilie, don't be scared," he said in the gentle voice of the man and when he looked at it she sighed.

"Don't hurt me, I'm begging, please don't hurt me..." the girl said scared so Lucas smiled.

Lucas wants to lose Lilie's fear of him. He wants the girl to trust him, that he will do nothing wrong with her and he will not hurt her.

"No, I won't hurt you." And when he touched the girl he was surprised by what Lilie did.

He went even further and pushed her away, so Lucas did nothing but hug the girl so that she would not hurt herself.

"Darling, don't be scared. I won't hurt you," the young man whispered to the girl. He calms the girl with his hand caressing her back to alleviate the fear and anxiety she feels.

No matter how many more times he hurts and pushes the girl away, he will not leave it. Even though it was difficult, he did not leave the girl's side. He would not let the girl get scared and stay away from him.

He looked at the intercom and there spoke to call Elise because the woman was downstairs and doing something.

"Elise, come up here. Lilie is awake and going frightened again. We need to calm her down so she doesn't hurt herself," Lucas said so he heard Elise in a hurry.

"Alright, I will be there in 1 minute. Please try to calm her, Lucas."

The young man just nodded and left his seat. While he was waiting for Elise, he tried to calm the girl down. In less than one minute the woman arrived.

He watched as Elise entered and injected Lilie with a sedative. Lucas gently laid the girl down and kissed her forehead while Elise came out of the room followed by the young man.

"How is she?" Lucas asked Elise so she rested deeply and looked straight at the young man.

"She's experiencing psychological trauma that can lead to depression. She's been traumatized because of that experience. So, we better guide and watch her carefully, Lucas."

"If we can't watch and guide her carefully, the scenario will be even worse than we could imagine."

...

Lilie

A few days ago that happened and during those few days, I was always hurting myself. I want to do this because I calm down every time I hurt myself.

I looked at my wrist when I saw the cuts here caused by what I was doing to myself. I remember the pain I did to myself.

I woke up with a severe headache, especially in my body. When I could see where I was, I suddenly get up. I was in a room so I got out of bed and roamed my eyes at the whole room.

The coolness of the aircon also bites my skin. I saw a door so I went in and it was a bathroom. I looked in the mirror and saw my reflection.

I lost a lot of weight and the bruises I got were still obvious. As I stared at myself in the mirror everything slowly came back to me.

So I just cried and got my hair cut. Unexpectedly I saw a blade and took it. I do not know why I applied it to my wrist and slowly sliced ​​it. I just saw my blood flowing down to the sink.

So I trembled to lower the blade and just watched my wrists bathe in its blood. I do not feel pain, I do not know what is happening to me.

"My goodness! What are you doing to yourself?! And why is there blood?! Did you do something?!" I just looked at the scream and saw an old woman. I saw that her belongings were already on the floor.

All I can see right now is her eyes which were full of concern, she quickly stood beside me and get the wrist that I cut. Before I could speak I was completely blinded by the darkness.

After that happened, I secretly did it to myself. Sometimes I secretly injure myself, sometimes I get caught so they can stop me. But now they are hiding the sharp things that I can harm myself.

So I stood up and looked for them in case they missed something but I did not find anything. No blades, scissors, or anything. I need to hurt myself. I was distracted when someone spoke behind me. I saw a woman who was wearing formal attire.

"Finding something?" She asked me so I sat on the bed while she was at the door and leaning.

"Something to hurt me."

"Why are you hurting yourself?"

"Why I am hurting myself? To lessen the pain ... the pain that I have been feeling right now. I just want to become numb," I said in a low voice and looked straight into her eyes. A few seconds of silence prevailed over us.

"You're hurting yourself because you want to end the pain, right?"

"It's not the pain that I want to stop but also my life too ... I'm tired of living! Every night is always the same nightmare that I'm always dreaming!" I did not realize that I was crying so I quickly wiped it. I could also clearly see the emotions I could see in her eyes so I felt even more sorry for myself.

"I know I'm not in your position right now. All I know is what happened to you and how you suffer. But I want you to know that there's hope after the pain that you've been encountering right now. Soon you will have your happiness," she took a deep breath and continued.

"Lilie, don't end your life, our life is like a book. If page one damages you, on the next page you move it is written with happiness. Don't let your past ruin you and your future," the woman said and smiled at me.

When I heard that I was just stunned. I shook and laughed out loud. They do not know what I feel.

She can say that because she is not in my position. She has no idea how I feel. Why does it seem so easy for them to say such things like that?

After all, they are not in my position and they do not know how I feel.

...

I was startled when I felt the cold object hitting my face and when I looked, the window next to me was open.

So I slowly got up and closed it. I looked at the clock and saw it was just past three in the morning. Until now, my chest is still heavy, I have been able to breathe deeply but nothing has changed.

It was as if I wanted to do something to myself. I want something sharp to cut myself.

So I got up and slowly left the room. Darkness unfolded, and the surroundings were quiet. So I grabbed the handle of the stairs and quietly went down.

When I got down I went to the kitchen and saw the light was on so I went straight and got a knife. Trembling I touched it and gently placed it on my wrist. At first, I slowly wounded myself but later I deepened and felt the pain.

I could see the blood flowing on the floor so I slowly put the knife on the table and just watched my wrist cut.

"The fuck!" I looked to my side when someone suddenly shouted. He was a man with a red long sleeve. He was stunned for a moment, but he also immediately attended to stop the bleeding on my wrist.

"Why did you cut yourself again? What if I didn't come right away? I might just see you lifeless!" he shouted at me and I could no longer understand the others because my eyes were slowly shutting down and I was out of breath before falling on him.

He stopped reading and signing when his male secretary knocked and it turned out to be inside his office.

"Boss, the investigator you hired is already here." So he told him to let the investigator in.

"Have a seat Mr. Villafuente," he offered a seat to the man who he immediately accepted.

"How's your investigation? Did you get everything?"

"Yes Mr. Montiero, my investigation was successful. All the information about her is already there". So Lucas just nodded and took the folder.

"Thank you for this, I will send the money to your bank account, Mr. Villafuente."

When the investigator left, he opened the folder and everything that he wants to know was exposed to him.

It was late now but he wanted to go home because of the woman he saved. He wanted to know what the woman's condition was because he found out about Elise. She said she was looking for sharp objects to injure herself again.

He looked at the clock and it was 2:30 in the morning so he stretched his body and arranged all his belongings because he was going home. After arranging everything, he hurriedly got out and got into his car.

Thirty minutes later he reached their house and when he entered he saw the light in the kitchen. There was already a human shadow so he went to it and thought it was Manang, but he was just surprised when he saw someone else.

Lilie wounded herself again so he could see blood dripping on the floor causing the girl to sneer and look at it.

He was stunned for a moment but he immediately attended to it and tied the girl's wrist with a handkerchief to stop it from bleeding. He spoke but was shocked when it fell on him.

"Lilie!" he shouted at the girl's name which he immediately picked up and quickly run to the room.
