All Those Lies

15.Present

I sit in front of the opened door not knowing what to.

Fear

Suffocation

Disgust

Another body.

I stare at the corpse in front of me. The guard. His lifeless body.

I hear siren. My head is buzzing. I want to run. Run away from all this.

"Eve"
"Eve"

A pair of hands come and embraces me. I look at him. Rey

"Rey I didn't ..." I snob

"I know Eve. You didn't kill him. I know. It's okay. Relax. I'm here."



I open my eyes. I feel warm. Reyzel is holding me in his arms. But why I'm here? In his car?

"You alright?"
I look into his eyes. I had promised I wouldn't cry. I failed. I may hated the guard but when I came back after meeting Rey I was horrified to see him dead.

He is still holding me. I feel nothing but gratitude.

"I swear I didn't kill him"
He smiles.

"I know. He had tried to call me. You just had left from there. So I know you haven't kill him. Your whole house is a mess. The intruder was looking for something."

"Oh" it's all I managed to say

"You can't stay here." I laugh at his words.

"You gonna arrest me?"

"No"

"Then what?" I asked.

"Come home with me."

 
  Pause

"My home" He says.

I try to find answer in his eyes. Is he crazy?

I try to say something but he cuts me off.

"Don't argue. It's not safe here."
I am too tired to argue.

"Besides I can easily keep an eye on you. After all you are the prime suspect." Bustard.

He lives in an apartment. 9th floor. He unlocks the door and take my luggage inside. I could barely find anything to pack. I don't even know why I am here.

I see something that is too much for my heart. Fuck.

Rezel Kingston is holding a cat in his arms.

He was never a dog person. But cat?

"Jullie go there" He let the cat go. My eyes land on where the cats went.

Three kittens.

"What's there name?" I asked curiously. My poor heart is too hopeful.

"Jack, Rose and Newton." My heart is beating too fast. He remembered?

"Newton, seriously?" I asked pretending nothing just happened.

"Hmm" he replies rubbing the back of his neck.

"Where's Romeo?"

"Died."

My curiosity killed me.
