"I'm sorry." I whisper to myself. I take the black lighter out of my pocket, now examining it.
I hear their footsteps walk away from my door.
I ignite the lighter, watching the fire blend into perfect colors of red and orange.
I close the lighter and stand up quickly, lighter in hand.
I'll open the door.
I'll miss them.
I hesitate to touch the doorknob.
Do it.
C'mon. Do something.
Open the door!
The creek of my door echos throughout the upstairs, catching their attention.
They shot their heads my way.

"I-I'm sorry."
