'Arhh' I sigh as I sit on my bed, its 1am. I looked at the 20 messages from some guy I was going to meet this evening, 'Jules, where are you?' the last texts says. I sigh once more and fall backwards into the soft sheets. I reluctantly pull myself up and take the pills out from the little seam in the carpet. I walk over to the toilet and crush them in the packet and bang out the contents into the water. Flushed. I sit back and crunch up the silver packet. I walk into the kitchen and take out a pair of tongs. Then I watch as the flames make the packet curl up into a little ball of silver.
Satisfied, I take the little ball and put in my pocket. I walk back and take out the knife from the seam as well. I sigh once more. I was getting so good and I had a few more ideas I wanted try out. I take the knife and walk to the store cupboard and take out a hammer from the little tool box I have never used since moving in. I hold the knife and turning the hammer head on a angle, I bang little knicks into the knife, so it looks well used and jagged.
Afterall the blade used was a smooth edge to cut well. I take the knife and put it in my pocket as well. I wore a old pair of jeans so I had the depth to store what I needed.
Leaving my apartment I looked out at the window in the hallway, its raining. Annoyed I slip out and walk into the park behind the apartment building. I walk, and I walk. I keep going the park was shaped like a arc to to provide a strip of greenery for all the apartment buildings on the road. I stop and walk to one of them. I walk under the eaves out of the rain and spot an open bin. I slip out the knife and ball of silver and drop them in and glance as they both fall down out of sight into a bag of rotting kitchen scraps and dirty nappies. Happy I kept walking.
When I got back I was surprised to see a wet Teegen at my doorstep 'what?' I say 'Hey, whats going on?' I crouch down next to the player and look at her. 'Where were you?' she asks skeptical as I am too was drenched. I open my door and let us both in. 'whats going on with you? Teegs' I ask again.
she tiredly sits down on my couch still very wet no doubly soaking the couch. I sit down next to her. 'Teegen' I start. She stops me, 'April I know its you'. My eyes widen. 'Me?' I ask 'whats me?' She looks at me and thrusts her phone into my lap. I looked puzzled it was our team's group chat.
'Whats this?' I ask She sighs 'look again' she says more tired. I read the last couple of messages. It was about Reg. 'whats going on I ask?' Teegen looks at me, 'it was you who started that rumour? Its all over the chat'. I stop confused. 'He told me, I figured the team should have the heads up, maybe we could plan something for him.' She shook her head, that wasn't for you to tell was it? I lean back. 'You came all the way over here, at this time, in the rain, to talk about Reg?'
She shuts her eyes 'no, well, not really.' she says then she opens them again smiling a little looking at me as she laughs. 'I needed an excuse to come over here but', she gestures at me, 'looks like you've been elsewhere tonight. Anyone I know?' I shake my head. 'No I like the rain'. She laughs 'at 1am?'
'Argh' I say waving it off. 'What are you doing here?'
She laughs and moves closer. 'The other day, I need to tell you, when I woke up next to you, you were snoring.'
'Oh?' I say 'really? No I think that wasn't me, that was you'. Laughing she grabs the blanket from the couch and stands up. 'I'm going to steal some of your clothes' she says walking to my room. 'That's not fair!' I argue. Following her to get changed myself.
