Chapter 15

• I step into the shower, turning the knob to let the water run down on me. The warmth feels good on my skin, but it doesn't take away the sadness I feel inside.
• I close my eyes and let the water flow over my face, mixing with the tears that are already falling. I feel frustrated and alone, and the water is the only comfort I have right now.
• I lean my forehead against the tiles, wishing that the water could wash away all the negative thoughts and feelings that have been plaguing me. But it doesn't. They keep coming back, making me feel more and more helpless.
