Chapter 19. A Friend in Need

I stopped in my tracks and stared at the sight before me.

“What do you plan to do with that?” I asked when I entered the room.

“What do you think?” She asked without looking at me. 

“You have got to be kidding me, Anna.” I gasped. “Are you out of your mind?” 

“I think I am perfectly sane.” She replied in a lifeless tone. “I need to get rid of this problem once and for all.” 

“So your wise plan is to make yourself die faster?” I yelled. 

“Do you have to be so loud?” She hissed. 

“Yes, if that is the only way I can get through your thick skull.” 

“Well, what do you want me to do?” 

“For a start, not to kill yourself.” 

“I am going to die anyway.” She muttered under her breath. 

“I heard that,” I said through clenched teeth. 

“Listen, you have no idea what I am going through.” 

“How can you say that?” I blurted out before I could control myself.
