Apartment 502

Chapter 15

Chapter 15.

"I made sure I had the correct aim and swallowed, closing my wet eyes,

"I'm so sorry," I stated to the man.

I pulled the trigger, jumping at the sound. Hearing a thump on the floor, I opened my eyes to find him, bleeding out on the floor, his eyes wide open. He had a shot wound directly on his forehead."

I woke up sweating, screaming and out of breath. I sat up on my bed.That was the third time tonight this happened. I wiped the sweat that was dripping on my face, my hair was soaked and sticking to my forehead.

I started crying, my nose was stuffed and the tears blurred my vision.

I tried to calm myself down but to no avail. I was a mess. I started to get A bad migraine, my whole world was spinning.

I had just killed a man no less than five hours ago. I took someones dad away. Someones child, someones husband. i took someones life.

Just then my door swung open, and in came a shirtless Jason. Jason came around to the other side of my bed and laid in it. He rested me on his chest and played with my hair,

"Sh, its going to be okay baby girl, its okay,"

By the. I went into hysteria and started balling my eyes out, i started shaking.

I usually didnt let jason see me like this, i was vulnerable. I was weak. And he could see that

Jason wrapped both his hands around my trembling body,

"I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, "I'll never let you go"

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight," he sang in my ears while rocking me back and forth in attempt to calm me down

"Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound," He moved my sweaty hair away from my face and kissed me on my fore head.

"I'm so sorry" he continued playing with my hair, "It was either that or lose you forever, and i couldn't do that," he kissed my fore head again, "Please understand,'

I Stayed silent, i couldn't find the words to explain what i was feeling at the moment. I could be dead right now. But Jason chose to keep me alive, and i wonder why.

"Why didn't you just kill me?" I questioned looking up at him, shaking my head.

He delayed answering for a second, "Is that what you wanted? for me to kill you?"

He didn't make eye contact with me, I could see him swallow hard.

"No," i paused looking down, "But its what you wanted,"

"I think you should try to go to sleep," he sighed

I didn't answer him instead I did as i was told

I slowly started getting sleepier, before i fell in a deep sleep, i heard him whisper "I never want that for you" and drifted off to sleep.

The windows blinds were open and shining in my face, waking me up.
