Love Kills

Murder for Love?

"Babe talk to me"
I was taken back by the sudden voice coming from my doorway. I turn around to see my girlfriend, Alyssa, standing in the door to my room.
"What's there to talk about? What happened last night had nothing to do with us, just me." I look at her face and I can see the hurt in her eyes. I can tell she still can't comprehend what happened. Hell I can't either.
"Mae I'm not playing this game. We both damn well know what happened last night had something to do with me too." She's right, but how do I tell her. How do I tell the love of my life that I killed someone to protect her?
