Back to you (part 2 of mr.gold)

The more time passes, the more unfocused my eyes get

Casey

Today is bathroom day. Yes, once a week I get to get up and shit or whatever else I need to do.

I hear sound of him slugging down the stairs. The door opens with its familiar creak and I turn my head to see him with hand cuffs in his hand and a knife in the other.

"Good morning." He says.

I twitch my lip a little to the side, and turn my head back around.

"Hoy es...dia de baño!... not sure if that's the proper way to say it. Well, nevertheless it's bathroom day." He is full of cheer and probably some sketchy pills as he walks over undoing on of my wrist.

He pulls my legs off the bed first, then lifts my upper half. Standing back, I guess he expects me to sit up on my own. I can, but as I try to get to my feet I crumble to the ground on the remains of yesterday's  fight.

A broken plate.....

"Awwwww, just like when you were little, and here I come to help you up." Cameron comes over to me and tucks his arms under my pits. I clench a palm sized shard of glass into my hand and feel the pinch of the pointy end.

I steady on my feet a bit , yet his arms still support my back as we move towards the stairs.

What am I even gonna do with it? Kill him?

"Left foot, right foot."

We reach the base of the stairs and the walk is dimly lit just like the room.

I take one step up, Cameron follows.

"Gosh Casey, its like yesterday you and I were in that lake and I fell in love."
He says over the creeks of the wood.
"But then that man happened."

I stop.

"Yeah, Axel tried to take you from me."

I clench the glass harder as I get angry that he dare say his name.
Without thinking I spin on my heel and push my hand with the glass as hard as I can into his neck.

He lets out a yell and pushes me down , but this causes him to fall back and hit his head. The glass stayed in his neck as he laid there. It didn't go deep but it hurt and definitely caused bleeding.

"Fuck!" He says rolling over most likely to get to his feet. I turn and do my best to try and get all the way up the stairs to the second door.

I'm running , well, I'm going as fast as I can. Cameron is making all kinds of noise, but it doesn't seem like he's got up yet.

"Casey!"

Almost.

"Please! I need you!"

I reach the top step and I finally turn and look.

He's holding his neck and looking up at me. He reaches out.

"I love you."

I slam the door shut and lock each and every lock on there.

He screams out my name again, but I do nothing but slide down the door to the floor.

My heart is pounding so hard it almost hurts. I'm shaking I'm happy, scared.

But most of all, I'm free.
