She sat there on the floor, crying.

"Go away!", she shouted at me, "Never come back! I hate you! You idiot! Close the door behind you!"

I looked at her and my eyes filled with tears.

I never wanted to hurt her.

She was so beautiful with tears in her eyes.

And the blood on the floor.
Next to her, a knife.

The knife I had thrown out if her hand.

I knelt down beside her.

Took her hand.

I hugged her softly.

Wanted to tell her how much I had loved her.

But I didn't get the words out of my mouth.

She pushed me away.

I stood up.

Went.

Left her alone.

I didn't know what would happen next.

I closed the door quietly.

Left her lying on the floor.

With the knife.

I walked home slowly.

There I took out my phone.

Checked my messages.

She had texted me.

"I'm sorry.", she said, "It's not your fault. I love you."

I didn't know what she meant.
Took a shower.

***

The next day it was too late.
