I grip the rim of the porcelain sink and try to steady my hands. “One last time,” I whisper to myself.One. Last. Time.I look up from the sink into the mirror in front of me. The girl staring back at me is terrified. Tears stream down my face and dried mascara pools at my chin. My eyes are puffy from crying; I can barely keep them open. I look down again; at the razor sitting on the ledge of the sink. What had happened to me? What had happened that had made it come to this? I was so happy. What changed? But of course I know what changed: Damion. Just because I rejected him, he decided that meant I should suffer. He told everyone that I ruined his life. Then there was the horrible rumor.“Annalise sells her body to buy drugs.”Everyone had heard it. And it was too late now to stop it.
