It all happened in an instant. I lowered the knife to kill myself, I heard Scarlet's peircing scream, I, for some reason, dropped the knife, Scarlet stood sobbing in the doorway, I felt silent tears run down my cheeks as I dropped to my knees on the floor.
I put my hands on my face and closed my eyes. I heard nothing. Then, I felt a hand touch my shoulder.
That hand, for reasons I still can't completely figure out, felt like... hope. Warm, friendly hope. But I didn't want hope. I WANTED to die!
"Move Scarlet!"
I shoved her off. I reached hungrily for the knife but Scarlet swiftly threw it across the room.
"No, Dana!
"GET OUT! LET ME DIE!"
I stood and panickily pushed Scarlet. She stood her ground.
"Dana, LISTEN TO ME! There is hope-"
"I DON'T WANT HOPE AND NO THERE ISN'T! SHUT THE HELL UP!!"
I sounded terrifing. My screams were mingled with heart-wrenching sobs. And no one but Scarlet would of remained firm.
"YES DANA! YOU DO WANT HOPE BUT YOU'VE CONVINCED YOURSELF YOU'D RATHER DIE!!"
Then, I was desprate. I struck Scarlet and made her reel back. I took my chance and dashed for the weapon. She half crawled, half spinted to it first and threw it to the other side of the room.
"Dana," She said panting. "My God offers hope, healing, restoration. He IS hope! He is waiting for YOU, Dana, to accept him and his wonderful healing!!"
"There is no god, Scarlet. NONE! If he's such a loving god, none of this would BE HAPPENING!!"
"Dana, there is a God. He lives in my heart and wants to live in your's. HE CAN GIVE YOU LIFE AND HOPE!"
"No. You prayed, and my life began to be hell. God is NOT REAL!"
"DANA! HE IS! MY LIFE USED TO BE 'HELL' TOO! I WAS IN A WORSE SITUATION THAN YOU! I ALMOST WAS ABLE TO KILL MYSELF! I GOT FARTHER THAN YOU DID DANA AND I SEE NO OTHER WAY BUT TO TELL YOU THE WHOLE STORY!!"
