48. Fight.

I wake up feeling cold as hell.
'Jesus.' I say as I sit up and hug myself.

'Corpse.' I say. I get up and make my way up the stairs. When I check, the bedroom is still empty. 'Where the hell are you?' I ask as I fold my arms to stay a bit warmer. I sigh and walk back downstairs. I hold my face in my hands.

A soft bang against the door.

I immediately look up and open the door.

It's corpse.

'You-' he heads inside without saying a thing. 'You know, shutting me out Isn't going to get you very far.' I say. He stops in his tracks, his back to me. 'Letting you in isn't either.' He says back. 'Then what should I do?' I ask as I really don't know 'leave me alone like I'm telling you.' I flinch at the pain in my side, hugging myself after. I notice he heard, because his head turned slightly. 'I can't live with watching you be so upset. Just let me help.... let me in.' He turns his head forward 'It's not like I'm asking you to care.' He says back coldly. 'It's not like I have a choice! It's what you do, isn't it? When it's someone you care about.' I say. 'Oh Get over yourself.' His harsh words make me angry. 'You don't fuck me over like this, corpse.' I say. He starts to walk further, heading upstairs. 'This is fucking unfair! What the hell did I ever do to you?' I ask. He ignores me as I watch him walk up the stairs 'You- you.....' tears fill my eyes.

I hear him open a door 'fuck, sorry. Sorry.' The door closes before the sound of the footsteps fade out. I cover my mouth as I cry. A door opens and soft footsteps make their way down the stairs. Selene pulls me in for a hug 'I'm sorry...' she says. 'I don't know what to do anymore.' I say. She lets me go and rubs my arm to try and comfort me. 'He'll turn around.' She says.

I sleep on the couch for the rest of the night
