Make Me Breathe

Chapter 81

I wake up in my bed. Mason isn't next to me, he's probably off shooting people.

I go to the kitchen, beer bottles all cleaned up. Probably Ben. I look at the fridge and there's a note:

Dear Bethany,

I had to go to work. Mason is in the guest room on the floor, I don't know why he slept in there. I made sure he couldn't get any guns or dangerous weapons, if he tries anything call me. Anything worse, call the police. Be safe.

-Ben

This guy literally rocks. He is so sweet when he wants to be. I take out milk from the fridge and drink it slowly at the table. I wouldn't be here drinking this today if Mason pulled the trigger. I wouldn't have read that note, that note wouldn't have even been written. It's so scary.

"Bethany?" I hear Mason's raspy voice and I tense up sitting still being careful not to move.

"Y-yeah?" I ask

"I need to talk to you." he says "I promise I'm sober."

"Okay." he sits across from me and just looks at me. I feel his eyes cracking my heart into even tinier shards.

"I'm. So. Sorry." he starts

I trace the rim of my glass.

"I was drunk, I shouldn't have been drunk in the first place, I shouldn't have even thought about killing you."

My heart jumped at those words 'killing you' as in, me.

"I didn't mean all those things I said, and I'm sorry. Will you ever forgive me?"

Dude, you just tried to kill me and that's your apology?!

"Yes." No. I didn't want him mad again.

"Thank you." I nodded. Not saying a thing.

He starts to get up from his chair, but my voice stops him.

"Don't worry, I hate me too." and I get up and go to the bedroom and get ready for my day.

"Bethany..." he follows me to the room and dits on the bed as I pick out an outfit. "I said I'm sorry."

I don't care if he gets mad, "You tried to kill me, and all I get was an I'm sorry, I was drunk."

"What do you want me to do, Bethany?" he asks.

"I don't know! You tried to kill me."

"I know, and I'm so sorry."

We stand there in silence.

"Would you have really pulled the trigger....?" I ask in a hushed tone.

"If I wasn't drunk, no. But, I was drunk so if Ben hadn't come, I wouldn't have come to my senses until after you were gone."

"You know you can get arrested for holding an innocent person at gunpoint right?" I ask

"I know."

I nod and go to the bathroom to get dressed.
