I closed my eyes anticipating each thin cut, feeling the wash of relief when it was done. When I said I was hurting I wanted to see and touch the place that was hurting, not just feel it.
" Twain! Twain" I could hear Luke, my baby brother yelling from a distance. Nobody was going to rob me of my little world of ecstasy. Everything good I had didn't last and this time round I would fight to keep this feeling.

" Their are more pages of this, " Steve exclaimed and I looked up in time to see a glint of sadness in his eyes, an emotion that disappeared as soon as it came.Looking down I knit my fingers together and slammed my eyes shut as guilt and shame washed over me. " Don't hate me please, " I whispered lowering my gaze and orbs to avoid meeting his stare. I could feel his eyes burning bright like flaming torches pierced through me. " I think right now they have finished processing your discharge papers," he said looking away staring at the blue sky. I tightened my hold on my diary afraid of opening it. I never read an entry I had written twice and he probably read some pages. " I'm sorry about your diary, I thought I would hold it for you, because it seemed to me you wouldn't be happy if someone else found it."

It hd been long since I slept here and but everything looked the sameI was about to close my eyes and surrender to sleep probably because of weariness and exhaustion but a small frame pushed open my door and Luke came in.
