Loved & Lost

Reversed time period

Zyanté Peterson

The water hit against the shower glass as i continue to stand in the shower. The water was hot at first but I got lost in my train of thought so much that it turned cold.

I get out the shower and was welcomed by the sight of indigo lying on the bed staring at me.

"This staring problem is getting out of hand," I say with a light laugh but she wasn't laughing with me instead she looked worried. I sat on the bed and hugged her body while looking into her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm worried about you." She said as she snuggled deep within my chest.

"Why are you worried?"

"Why am I worried?" She gave me a look of anger but it wasn't directed at me but more so the situation. " That man will stop at nothing to see you ruined or worse in a grave and I don't want that to happen to you!"

"It won't. I promise you it won't." I looked into her eyes meaning every word I ever said but she shook her head.

"You can't promise something like that when it comes to this situation. At this point we just have to prepare for the worst but hope for the best. That's all we can do."

Her words got to me and it even though and it clearly showed on my face.

"Let's go to bed and regroup in the morning, that ok?" I just nodded my head, kissed her, and then proceeded to lay down with her in my arms.

As sleep started to cloud my thoughts I suddenly heard a crash. I'm a light sleeper so hearing even the slightest noise distracts me for the moment before I just go back to sleep but this time I didn't. I don't know if it was paranoia or what but I was up and alert. The noise occurred again but closer. I woke up Indigo and no words needed to be explained between us. She got up and grabbed her gun underneath her pillow and followed me out the room. As soon as we stood outside the door there was at least five armed men in my house. Two upstairs and three downstairs. None of them had noticed our presence yet and i was thankful for that but as we snuck downstairs my feet crunched against the glass. I don't know who reacted faster the men or Indigo but chaos broke out before I knew it. As the man shot at us, Indigo was shooting back and I grabbed my gun from behind my back and started shooting with her. We made it outside and shots rang out around us and we were almost in the clear until the person I trusted the most and the man I hated with all of me stood right in front of us. I was in a state of shock as I saw the person I trusted lift his gun and indigo raised hers as well. As I went to raise mine is when he went to pull his. Everything after that went dark and the last voice I saw and heard was Indigo calling for me to wake up.

This will be longer but when I redo the scene towards the end.
