He always had. He didn’t know the lengths I’d go to for freedom. I turned toward the shattered vase on the floor. A shard of porcelain gleamed under the light, sharp and jagged. I crouched, hesitating for a moment before wrapping my fingers around it. A cut bloomed across my palm, crimson dripping against the white porcelain. The pain grounded me. This wouldn’t be my life.

I waited a long time, but he just couldn't stop. Finally, I let myself lean gently against his shoulder and closed my eyes. "Dad…Mom… I'm sorry…" I could feel someone shaking me, but I couldn't open my eyes no matter how much I tried. "Open my eyes and look at me, Kate! Please don't do this! I'll take you home! I'll take you right now!" The moment he lifted me, my hand slipped down limp and weightless, like a puppet with its strings cut. Jason froze for a moment, his body trembling hard.
