I hear a knock at my door. ”Mariah, open the door! Open the door!” I hear my sister’s voice behind the door as the knocking continues. ”Please! I need to talk to you! It’s urgent!” She says. I sigh and grab my gun loading it as I walk to the door. I open it and point it at her.
"I told you I'd shoot you in the head if you came to me." I say. She looks at me with fear in her eyes, she starts shaking as she sees the gun in my hand. ”I’m sorry…I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…please just put the gun down and let me speak.” She gets down on her knees and cries. ”Please, just let me explain…” She says. ”I know you don’t want to hear me, I know how bad I hurt you. But at least let me explain myself, just give me one minute…” She says.
God they're just a like practically meant for each other. "You can either leave or get shot those are your two options" I say. She looks up at me with tears in her eyes.
”I’ll do anything! Just put that gun down and let me speak! Please, at least give me the chance to explain myself! I can’t just leave knowing you hate me! I can’t leave knowing I’ll never see you again, I need to try and fix our relationship! At least give me a chance to talk, if not, I’ll leave! But please. Just hear me out.” She says. I look at her blankly.
"I'll give you till the count of five. Five." I say. She's shaking and crying as you stand there and raise the gun. ”No…no…please! Don’t do this! Put the gun down! I’m begging you! I’ll do what you want, just let me speak. At least let me speak…I just want to talk to you… I can’t leave knowing we’ll never be able to speak again. Don’t you want to know what really happened? What I truly thought?” She says. "Four." I say. ”NO PLEASE DON’T DO THIS! Just let me talk to you for one minute or put the gun down! This isn’t fair! You can’t just shoot someone over an argument! You deserve to know the truth about everything that happened between us! Just give me a chance to explain myself! Please don’t do this…” She pleads.
"Three." I say. ”NO, NO DON’T DO IT! Please! Please! Just give me a chance to tell you the truth... What we had was special! We loved each other! This isn’t fair! Don’t take away our chance to try and fix this!” She says. "Two." I say and cock the gun. ”Oh God no! You can’t shoot me, you can’t do it. I’m begging you, I just want one chance to explain everything. I need to tell you the truth, I promise you. Please don’t do this!” She begs desperately. "Either walk away or get shot last chance." I say.
”I—I—I…I’m sorry… Please don’t do this, please, please… You deserve to know everything about me, about our past. There’s so much I have to explain…please don’t take this from me… Please, put that gun down.” She says. "One." I say putting my finger on the trigger. She's shaking again as she still stares at me. ”No, please—please, I don’t want to die. Just let me talk to you—I’ll do anything. I’ll leave and never see you again if that’s what you want, but don’t kill me please! I’m begging you!” She screams. I sigh. "You should have listened sis." I say and shoot.
She falls to the ground. I wake up soaking in sweat, it was just a nightmare. I sit up and begin to process everything that happened in the dream. My phone buzzs and I check the time, it’s 2:36am and there’s many missed calls from my sister. I give a relived sigh.
I see a text from my sister. It says ”Miguel, it’s me! Please, I tried calling you but I guess you’re asleep. You don’t understand how important this call is! Please, we need to speak! I’ll be waiting at your home!” My eyes glare at the phone. I slam it on the ground and stomp on over and over until it has several cracks. I need to move!
I need to get away from this life! I pack all of the things I need and nothing that reminds me of Miguel. A lot of things reminded me of him. So I don't have a lot coming with me. This time I'm going far away states away.
I get on the road for a bit. There are some how several calls and text from my family, sister, and mainly Miguel. I look at it then throw my phone out of the window. I don't want anything to do with them so that's the best option. I'll get a phone as soon as I can.
I take a deep breath in and out alright new life new me here I come.
Time skip
I pass the welcome sign to Texas. This is plenty far from Brooklyn. The air feels nice here. A bit hot for spring but it'll do. This place is beautiful I'm gonna enjoy it here. I'm for sure going to stay away from dating for awhile.
Time skip
I've been in Texas for three years now. I've got my own house a great job and big adorable German Shepard. I've just got back into dating recently. It's been decent but none that are the one material. I'd like to think that I'm over Miguel but he crosses my mind sometimes possibly as a reminder to be careful.
Despite him in the back of my mind there is this Gabriel guy is pretty sweet and super attractive. I have a date with him tonight.
TBC...
