Oblivion

Chapter 13

Did he really just say what I think he said? I just stared at him, I was so shocked and astonished that I almost forgot that I had to answer him. My heart beating fast, hands shaking, and with the tears about to come, I finally gave him an answer.

"Yes, of course i'll marry you."

I forgot that we weren't the only ones there. Immediately the group full of family members and friends cheered and Luke put the ring on my finger, picked me up, spun me around, and kissed me.

For that moment in time, I felt like the world around us had stopped, and for once it was just the two of us.

(Present Time)

After being trapped inside of a windowless hotel room, and being questioned for the murders of my friends, I am finally allowed to go outside.That sounds ridiculous! God I hate it here! They might as well put a leash around my neck and pull me to wherever they please, oh but that's right, they already have. And what's up with that 'H' guy. He seemed a little suspicious and it's weird that he never shows his face. His voice sounds familiar, but I don't know anyone with an australian accent, or was it british? I don't really give a shit, but I just wish that I could talk to a person and have a normal conversation for once, instead of talking to someone who just interrogates me all day.

* * *

They dropped me off at what looked like a mall or maybe a shopping center, but honestly i'm just happy to be at any place that doesn't involve people questioning you for being a murderer.

I don't have any money to buy anything, but that's okay. I wasn't alone though. There was a security guard following me around, which is understandable and it didn't bother me. I did get a few stares probably because of the way I was dressed. I haven't slept in days, I have no makeup to put on, and the only clothes I have are the ones that they gave me and the outfit that I wore the night of the mur-...

"Megan?!"

I can't believe I remembered her name after everything that's happened.

"Yeah, oh hey! what are you doing here? How did you get all the way to Boston? I mean that's a long way from Monroe. I thought Luke was going to questio-. um So how are you?!"

I'm in Boston?! And Luke was going to question what?! Me?

"Yeah good thanks, and same goes for you, I don't know you very well, but if you supposedly work at the hotel in Monroe, shouldn't you be there right now?"

"Uh you know, things are pretty crazy right now with the cops being there and everything."

Something seemed a bit off about her, but who am I to say.

I grabbed her arm and pulled towards the wall.

"Did they find anything or anyone yet?" I whispered.

"I don't think I should share that information. It's just too risky."

You have to be fucking kidding me.

"Megan, please. I need to know who. They haven't told me anything. I can't remember anything. Just please help me. You're all I have left."

"Fine... I don't know how many bodies were discovered, or who they are. We'r- they are still trying to figure it out. All I know is that night I heard screaming coming from your room. It sounded like Luke and you, but I wasn't really sure. Then out of nowhere the screaming stopped and everything was quiet. I knocked on the door to see if everything was alright, but no one answered. The door was unlocked and so I just walked in. You were sitting on the couch staring at the wall, unphased that I was there. It was just you. No one else was there. I didn't know what to do, so I just walked back outside. Then a few hours later the place was filled with cops and the FBI wanting to know where you were. They found you in the forest about half a mile away from the hotel, and that also happened to be where the bodies were located."

What the hell? I don't remember any of that. How did she get all that information anyways? I know she works at the hotel, but she's just the hostess. Something is off here, I don't know what it is, but I guess I will find out eventually.

"Do you think I killed them?"

"It's hard to tell at this point. That one piece evidence points to you and its huge, but we need more evidence to prove it."

"Megan why do you keep saying we? Or say it but cut off. I'm not oblivious to everything you know. What's going on? And don't say nothing because for once I fucking deserve to know."

"Okay okay look. I work in the police field from time to time and since I happened to be at the location of a crime scene they're letting me in on it. That's all."

I don't know if I should believe that or not, but I really don't feel like arguing with anyone today, so i'll just end it here. I said my goodbye and made my way towards the exit. I was done. Another day somewhat ruined. At least I got to get out of that hell hole.

(Later that Night)

*flashback*

"Luke what the hell?! Why are you being such an ass to everyone! And why were you flirting with that Megan girl?!"

"Lexi, calm down! And we weren't flirting, we were just having a god damn conversation. Why am I even marrying you if you're just going to be jealous of every fucking girl I talk to. Asking you to marry me was obviously a mistake."

Ouch.

"Well if you feel that way then fine. Here's your dumb ass ring. I hope you two live happily ever after together because it sure as hell won't be with me. And maybe I get jealous because have you seen me? I mean look at you! You can have any girl and yet you chose to be with me! It doesn't make any fucking sense! But I guess now I won't have to deal with that problem anymore! Oh and one last thing fuck you."

"Lexi wait! I didn't mean that. Please forgive me?"

"Will I forgive you? That's all you have to say. I can't believe you. I'm so fed up with your shit Luke. I'm fucking done!"

"Fuck Lexi! I forgave you when you said that you wanted to fucking kill me! I didn't throw a damn sissy fit over that, I was angry, but I learned to forget and forgive because I love you!"

"You love me really?! What about the time that you almost beat me to death?! I should've just fucking turned you in. I was and never will be the same after that. God dammit Luke, I love you too, but we can't keep doing this! It's tiring!"

My face started to sting. His hand was cold against my warm skin.

"Luke I- I'm sorry." I cried.

Another hit, this time it was my head. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed the first thing I saw.

"Luke please stop! I don't want to hurt you!"

His eyes were dark and he wasn't Luke anymore. He came at me again, except this time I stopped him. I plunged it right into his stomach. He yelled and fell down to his knees, and looked me right in the eye.

He said, "I'm so sorry," but then it was too late, he was already gone.

The knife fell to the floor, and my once clean hands, were now covered in blood.

I killed him. I killed Luke.
