When I open my eyes, everything looks blurry. All sounds seem distorted and muffled, as if I'm swimming underwater. I try to stand up, but before I can straighten my back, I discover that this is a bad idea. There's something wrong with my legs and I feel dizzy, as if I'm about to faint. I sink back to the ground. My left hand lands in something warm and sticky. I take a look at it. It's red.
Somewhere in the back of the room where I am, I hear a man talking.
"I need an ambulance here."
The guy is quiet for a second. "Police might be a good idea as well."
There's the silence again. Someone is probably asking him a question.
"She shot someone down. I.. I think I stabilized the victim, but please hurry!"
I wonder what he's talking about.
I hear someone scream. It's incessant and it wrecks my nerves. I want it to stop and I put my hands on my ears.
Suddenly his face appears in front of me. Dan. His name is Dan. He is my boyfriend. Correction: he was my boyfriend. What is he doing here? He should be far away. Far away and safe from this terrible mess.
"Will you please stop that?" he says.
It was me. It was me all along. I stop screaming.
"Thank you, Elise. Can you now please tell me what happened here?"
I open my mouth, but I choke on my words. How on earth did it come to this?
