Hi Blakley. This is Sadie, the one who was looking for the reaper. I would love to come to Pluckley to see if it is my reaper. I would know him anywhere. I would like to know what the takeoff date is so I know what days I have to take off work and school. Thank you so much for all of your concern. -Sadie
I closed my eyes and hit the send button. I turned my phone off just to hear it ding. The notifications read 'Email from Unknown'. I opened it and saw an email from Blakley.
Hi Sadie. Thank you so much for replying in outstanding time. I have sorted out the times, and you fly out tomorrow. You should get here on the fourth day. I'll send you more information later. -Blakley
Good thing I packed today! I hope E would get over his tantrum soon. Ethan came into view and plopped down onto the couch next to me.
"We leave tomorrow." I stared straight ahead.
"Okay." He stared at me. "Don't you feel guilty even just a little bit?" The problem was that I didn't. I didn't feel guilty at all.
"I don't have time to feel guilty, and neither do you."
"What do I have to feel guilty about?" He turned his whole body toward me. I didn't answer. I narrowed my eyes and clenched my fists. My nails were digging into my hands, marks started to form.
"I have nothing to feel guilty about at all! I did nothing to you. I was trying to keep you safe. Going to some random place with a random girl, who you don't even know is a girl, is absurd!" I blinked, staring at the wall. "Are you even listening to me?!"
"Yes, it just takes me a while to process so much dumbness at once." I whipped my body around, facing Ethan.
"Why do you only ever care about yourself?" Tears pooled in Ethan's eyes. A tear fell down my cheek.
"I'm a jerk." I stared at the floor.
"No Saide you not, you're just selfish." He stood up and moved down the hallway. I could hear the door creak open and slam. I fell onto the floor, tears clouding my vision. Once that first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. I bent forward pressing my palms to the cold wood floor, I began to cry with the force of a person vomiting on all fours. A great sob escaped me, and I covered my mouth with shaking hands. I closed my eyes and passed out on the floor.
Hope you all enjoy this story!
