ETERNITY (COMPLETE)

Let Me Go

    Zee went to the hospital where they brought Derek and talked to him. Wilson was right, the man  looked healthy even after he was shot. As tough as nails. He reported to Zee that he nearly apprehended Buenaventura's man when a car zoomed by and shots were fired. He failed to get the car's license plate. After knowing that Derek was doing well, Zee headed back to his building. He did not head back to his condominium. He felt guilty for hurting Saint. He was so confused and angry over everything in his life. He stayed at his office which was a few levels below his condominium. The doctor informed him that Saint was healing fine. He feared that he had hurt his wrist when they argued. Zee was about to call Mike when surprisingly the man him instead.

"Mr Panich?"
"Yes Mike."
"Mr Suppapong wants to leave the bedroom."
"And go where?" Zee rubbed his forehead.
"He sounds frantic Mr Panich."
"Let him be." Zee replied.

    Zee did not know what to do. Things were going out of control. Zee poured himself some whiskey and drank it. He tried calming himself down. He closed his eyes. Then, someone knocked on his door.

"WHAT?" Zee barked. Mike opened the door.
"Mr Panich?" Mike looked worried.
"Sir..."
"What Mike?" Zee asked impatiently.
"I think Mr Suppapong just broke something in the room. It sounded like a mirror or glass." Mike looked anxious.
"I could hear it just now. He could hurt himself." Mike continued.

    Zee marched to his bedroom and stopped at the door. He turned to face Mike and nodded. Mike unlocked the door. Zee pushed the door opened and blood drained from his face.

"Saint..." Zee whispered.
"Don't you DARE call my name." Saint spat.

Saint looked maniacal. He was holding a shard of glass pointing at Zee. Blood covered his hands and clothes. He was crying. He was frenzied. He was agitated. His eyes looked deranged. He gazed at Zee with such contempt. Zee gestured for Mike to stay behind. The bedroom was in shamble. Zee slowly took a step into his bedroom.

"Stop!!! Don't come any closer!" Saint growled.
"Saint.. let me..."
"You LIAR!!!!" Saint yelled at Zee.
"I don't trust you anymore. You LIED to me!!!"
"You said you loved me." Saint whimpered. He looked devastated.
"You said you would take care of me then ... then... you sent those people to KILL me!!!!" Saint ranted waving the shard of glass at Zee.
"You sent those people to hurt my father!"
"You sent those people to burn the orphanage it the ground!"
"Why??????? What did I do????? I didn't do anything Zee!!!!!!" He cried.
"You didn't believe me. You want to put me away. You hurt me. They hurt me. I thought I was going to die. You left me there to die!!!"
"Saint..." Zee interjected.
"Don't!"
"Let me go... let my family go!!" Saint wept.
"I didn't do it! I never stole from you! Why didn't you believe me??!!"
"What do I need to do for you to believe me? WHAT??????" Saint wailed.
"You didn't believe me... you didn't believe me... Oh my God... you didn't believe me..." Saint cried in anguish.
"Saint... I believe you baby... give me that.." Zee tried coaxing him.
"Stay AWAY!!!!!" Saint screamed at Zee.
"I don't trust you anymore... they hurt me... they said you don't want me... you would never forgive me... you don't love me anymore... that I stole from you... I didn't steal from you Zee... I didn't.... I didn't!!!!!!" Saint sobbed.
"You hate me... you didn't even want to look at me... I didn't do it Zee... I didn't do it... you didn't even let me touch you..." Saint cried.
"You hunt me down... they hurt me... you were not there!!!!"
"You sent them... your people... You were not there..."
"You lied.... you lied...." Saint was frantic.
"Saint... please... you're home... you're with me... I'm with you... please give me that..." Zee begged.
"LIAR!!!!!!!!" Saint snarled waving the bloodied glass towards Zee.
"This is not home... this is not even YOUR home... Don't lie to me Zee... STOP LYING!!!!"
"You're the one who hurt me... YOU!! You didn't believe me... how could you not believe me... HOW COULD YOU ZEE??!!!"
"I didn't matter to you ... I always don't matter... my mother didn't love me... you don't love me..." Saint smiled sadly at Zee.
"I never mattered ... Oh God... Oh God... Help me..." Saint cried.
"I thought you would protect me... but you didn't... You hurt me... you wanted me dead..." Saint whispered.
"Let me go... I don't want to be here... let me go!!!!" Saint screamed in agony.
"What have I ever done to you? WHAT??????" He sobbed.
"You left me there... you left me there... I thought I was going to die... I prayed to God to save me... I prayed to God that you would come... I prayed to God to lessen the pain..." His voice was hoarse.
"I prayed to God to kill me... Oh God... it was painful Zee... I was alone... so alone... It was painful... You were not there..."
"Saint... please... let me help you..." Zee whispered to Saint.
"No!"
"Stay away!"
"I wish I was dead..." Saint grinned.
"Did you know that I prayed to God to take my life?" Saint laughed.
"DID YOU KNOW???"
"You left me for dead..." Saint whispered . Eyes glassy.
"You didn't believe me..."
"You said you would protect me..." Saint trailed.
"To protect me for eternity..."
"You can't even protect me now... how are you going to protect me for eternity?" Saint sneered.
"This is a lie...." Saint whispered and looked at his tattoo.
"Should I cut...eternity... short?" Saint giggled through his tears.
'Saint... DON'T!"
"SAINT!!! NOOOO! "
