|That said, the first chapter|

A sharp intake of breath clenches in my throat as I shut my mouth following those three words. My glazed eyes reach for a specific point on the cream wall across from me, latching on to a spot. The spot. My spot.

It's blank. But it isn't; it holds everything about me in it. The one constant I can rely on to always be there, to hold on to, kept within my grasp. Nothing else ever had been and nothing else ever will.

Forcing those memories to the dark realm hidden in my mind, I let tears escape from down the corner of my eyes, cutting deep through my blistered cheeks. Another sharp breath is succeeded by incoherent mumbles playing on my lips, as more tears welled deep inside, before coursing down my face.

Dropping my body against the soft mattress forced my torso over to the side, twisting my neck, pulling harshly on skin surrounding my jaw just to keep my pupils pinned on the blank spot.

I pull my arms closer to my chest, them crossing over to press the sheets of bare comfort against my upper chest, allowing my hand to rest in the crook under my chin.

Another breath rattles in my thoat as his hand cascades around my waist.

I just want it to stop.
