Clover

It was deep into the night before I stopped crying and it was only because I simply had no more tears left. Jinx had snuggled into the bathtub with me and was trying to sooth me by rubbing my back and hands. We didn't speak, but in that moment I felt that more words were being spoken between us than ever before.

-The Next Morning-

The instant I awoke I was filled with dread and sadness. I knew immediately why I was in a bathtub and why Jinx was sleeping next to me. I took a deep breath in and unwrapped myself from Jinx's embrace.

I grabbed the edges of the tub and, with some strain, pulled my body into a standing position. I stared intently at the ground as I stepped over the side. I was so emotionally drained that it reflected in my posture and appearance.

I purposely walked by the test that was left on the sink, I couldn't bare to make myself look remotely in that direction. I opened the bathroom door and stepped into my room. It seemed smaller somehow.

I dragged my body out into the hallway of our apartment and found myself opening the front door. I needed air, I needed space, I needed ... I need to escape. My converse were in my hands and I put them on over my bare feet. I knew my clothes and hair looked as if I hadn't showered for a week and I couldn't bring myself to give a damn.

I looked down the hallway, which was pitch black, and started aimlessly walking. It was eerily quiet, it was as if they knew. I kept walking, placing my hands into my sweatshirt.

Anywhere, I whispered to myself. Take me anywhere. Please.
