AI Short story #1

10:37 a.m.

I hang up. The drive home passes without incident, but as I pull into the driveway, I can feel the heat of my shame building. How could I do this to him? How could I allow myself to be talked into this? All I could think of was that he wasn't my boyfriend; he was my brother. He deserved someone more trustworthy. How could I have ever used his good name to make this happen?Still feeling angry, I head inside and slowly close the door. My entire body aches with embarrassment. He's going to be so mad that I didn't warn him; he's going to be so mad that I trusted him with this information. He's going to be so mad.The moment my bedroom door closes, he calls me. I don't want to be mean to him, but this is my mess, not his. I'm the one who left the money in my car; I'm the one who left it for someone else to find."Why didn't you warn me?" Issei's angry voice is louder than I imagined it would be, and as it echoes off my room's ceiling, I know I'm in trouble.10:47 a.m."Did you put this in your car? It's my brother's." I hear the anguish in his voice, and I can't bear it."Issei, I'm sorry." His voice is tinged with emotion."Why did you do this?""I don't know. I was angry with you for leaving me.""So, you drove all the way down to Memphis, grabbed my wallet out of my car, and then went shopping?""I found a lady, Issei. I found a lady to buy this car for me and then I met her in the parking lot and went into a store to buy a new pair of shoes for me.""So, you lied to my brother.""I'm sorry," I try to explain. "But he said he wanted a ride home and that's what I did.""He said that?""Yeah. I know I shouldn't have lied. I shouldn't have made him ride down there with me, but he asked me and I couldn't say no. I know you have a reputation, Issei, but I'm not like that.""I can't believe you did this." He sounds defeated."I don't want to fight with you. I don't want you to be mad at me.""Oh, come on, Risa. Tell me why you lied. What did my brother say when you told him this?""I told him that I had already bought this car for my brother, but then you pulled up and I couldn't give you a ride.""Who told you that?""Issei told me," I try to explain. "I was embarrassed to lie to him.""Issei told you this?" Issei's angry voice echoes off my room's ceiling. "Tell me how you got into that car. Who drove you down here to see my brother, and why didn't you warn him? Did you do this for him?"10:59 a.m.I hang up.Issei, I'm so sorry I lied. I'm so sorry I lied to you.Issei, you deserve someone more trustworthy.10:59 a.m.Issei's shaking hands hold the phone to his ear."Issei, are you there?""Yeah. Are you really going to drive back down here?""I don't know. I haven't thought this through. I'm not sure what to do.""Go to your brother's house and tell him that you've decided that you don't want to do this anymore.""No. He's going to be so mad. He was upset with me already and then I get mad at him. I can't do this, Issei.""It's okay. We'll figure it out together. Take a deep breath, Issei. Take a deep breath.""Are you there?" Issei's voice fades out."I'm here. Take a deep breath.""Issei? Are you still there?""Yeah, I'm still here.""Issei, I know I shouldn't have lied to you. I know I shouldn't have cheated on you. I'm sorry. You were right; I'm not like you. I need someone better.""It's okay, Risa. We'll find someone better for you. We'll find someone better for me.""Issei, I don't want you to be mad at me."Issei sighs. "Risa, I shouldn't have taken that car and drove it down here, but I couldn't stand seeing you with another man. I'm sorry that I drove all the way down here for you. I'm sorry that I lied. I'm sorry I lied to my brother. I'm sorry I lied to my family. I'm sorry I lied to myself."Issei's voice is fading out, and I can't hear the rest. I can't hear Issei. I can't hear Issei.Issei, what did I do to you?"Issei," I try to explain. "I did it for you, Issei. I did it to please you."Issei's voice is so low and so soft it doesn't even sound like his voice. It doesn't sound like anything. It sounds like it came from my imagination, not from my room's ceiling."I'm sorry, Issei. I'm so sorry. I thought I was making a better life for us."Issei, you need to let me go.
