I take longer than usual in the shower hoping it would help me clear my head somehow. I couldn't even go back to sleep after that nightmare. After staying strong for so long, one look at her at that funeral did this to me. I shake my head as I step out of the shower. I refuse to think about this any longer 'cause she doesn't deserve that. She deserves my hatred and that's what I'll feel towards her until the day I die.
I walk into the bedroom expecting to be met with Rae's sleeping figure but the bed is empty. I don't bother wearing proper clothes since I no longer have a job to get to. So I just throw on some faded sweatpants and walk out of our bedroom.
"Rae?" I call out as I step into the living room.
"I'm here."
I turn towards the kitchen and see her taking out a few eggs from the fridge.
"Since when do you make breakfast?" I ask curiously, leaning against the counter.
She gives me a blank look while turning on the stove. "Since my thoughtful boyfriend decided to take a long relaxing bubble bath at 7:40 I decided to take matters into my own hands."
"Shit, has it been that long?" I ask, widening my eyes in surprise. "I was gonna make breakfast and then wake you up but I got lost in my thoughts I guess and took longer than usual."
She cracks open the eggs one by one as she glances up at me. "Just because you don't have anywhere to get to doesn't mean you should forget that I do. Since you're always an early bird I don't even set alarms anymore and look where that got me."
"I'm sorr--"
"Whatever."
I watch as she pours the eggs into the pan before stepping closer to her and taking the spatula from her hand. "Leave it to me and go change."
"No, I got it."
Hearing the clear annoyance in her voice, I give her a confused look and she looks down to the floor.
"Are you okay?"
She just nods and starts to walk away but I grab her arm. "Is this about last night?" I ask her and she widens her eyes. "Are you upset that I woke you up at night? I didn't mean to--"
"What? No!" She shakes her head and slips her arm down to hold my hands instead. "I'm so sorry I'm acting like this."
"It's fine. But did something happen?"
"It's just that..." She brings her free hand up and runs it down her face in frustration. "The detective just called and said he had something to tell me about the case."
"What?" I ask, frowning in confusion. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I just didn't want to add to your problems." She sighs, running a hand through her hair. "You have a lot on your plate already and I didn't want to nag you about how scared I am about today. The fact that bad things are happening to both of us at the same time frustrated me and I don't even know why I was being rude to you just now. Our life was peaceful two weeks ago and now look what we're going through."
"What do you mean you didn't want to add to my problems?" I ask, not being able to mask my anger and disbelief. "How can you even say that? Your problems are my problems, Rae. You and I share everything together, both the good and the bad. Your troubles are mine too just as much as your happiness is. I thought you knew that."
