Chapter 1.

Rain.

The night seemed to be so long and chilling, that Susan's screams were drowned in silence, it was not that she wanted to act in a selfish way, but she couldn't let her life be like a bargaining chip, so she resorted to self-harm herself, to perhaps not be taken into account in that way... Susan grabbed and took out the mirror from the compact powder that she almost always used, she put it between her pillows to break it in two, she applied a little pressure with one of her knees and the mirror gave way, there was no turning back, the decision had been made, she was conscious and knew where she had to stick that sharp part of what was a mirror, so, without turning back, she felt her neck a little; and right on one side of where the trachea should be she stuck it... The pain was so intense that she immediately wanted to scream, but she didn't, she bit her lips hard and turned the object a little inside her neck, then , a sound like something breaking reached his ears and the blood began to spurt out scandalously, making it seem more serious than it really was, however, she was lucky that like every friday, her stepmother Laurel opened the door without knocking, finding that image that obviously horrified her and left her frozen: there was Susan with something stuck in her neck and the bed painted red, the woman wanted to ask for help, but the voice had gone away. Her body and her feet were paralyzed: she did not move forward or backward, she just looked at it in disbelief, as if hypnotized... And it was not until she heard her husband Rick arrive and throw his briefcase on the floor as usual, that she came back to herself and her voice reappeared and immediately what he emitted was a terrifying scream... Rickyyy!!! Someone has come in and attacked your daughter, call an ambulance quick she's bleeding out in bed, she has something stuck in her throat but she's still blinking so I guess she's alive, so Rick walked up the stairs in long strides and he pushed the woman aside to enter his daughter's room, who seemed to lose her life in a few minutes; The window revealed that someone had entered, but ¿who could enter?, He had many debts, but he did not believe that any of his debt collectors would go that far, let alone that way. The man, gathering his courage, approached the bed, picked up the 20-year-old girl in her arms, ran down the stairs and barely had time to open the car door; Just at that moment, he was able to observe with horror that the girl's eyes were "rolling" and closing more and more, so, afraid that she was dying, he shook her a little while driving and desperately yelled at her at the same time. : Susan, wake up darling, you can't die today, not when you have so many dreams and goals to fulfill;  holds on a little longer, daddy will save you. So, the moment they both arrived at the emergency door of the hospital, the girl completely covered in blood and her father also with his bloody clothes; and projecting panic among those watching the horrifying scene, the staff ran to help, put the girl on a stretcher and took her away immediately to try to save her life.

The doctors had high hopes, because it could have been almost serious, but her mirror was too small to reach the main veins and arteries in her neck; being that regardless of the scandalously real loss of blood and the tremendous fright of her parents, only two of her vocal cords had been injured, so much so that the doctors did not have much hope that the girl would speak again, perhaps with a good therapy and constant treatment would recover his speech, but until then he would have to communicate through telephone text messages or similar ways, in addition, learn to communicate by signs and leave the rest to time.

The surgical intervention lasted just over two hours; and when they took her to the room, after spending an hour in the observation room, a nurse came to cut the girl's nails, finding glass particles between them, which clearly indicated that this had not been an attack. , but, on the contrary, it had been of Susan's own free will, who must have meticulously premeditated every small detail of what she wanted to do to herself, however, the nurse decided not to tell the girl's father, perhaps because he was a man who was between 55 and almost 60 years old and looked tired, very worried and sick, like that, she told Doctor Peralta and they both decided, for now, to keep a preventive silence, as if they were leaving a blank space to give her a chance to correct her suicidal behavior, but if something similar happened again, then they would tell the man that his daughter was looking for the path to death...
