distance

"WHY THE HELL DO YOU EVEN KEEP ME AROUND ANYMORE?" cynthia screamed.

"WELL MAYBE I WANTED TO HELP YOU!" I yelled back at her.

"SO THATS ALL I WAS? YOUR LIFES PITY PERSON?! THATS SOOOO GREAT ERIK. IM TIRED OF YOU ALWAYS SAVING ME!" She yelled and balled her hands into fists.

"WELL I'M SO SORRY THAT I THOUGHT THAT YOUR LIFE WAS WORTH SAVING!" I screamed and ran my hands through my hair.

"You both are being childish." Caleb said from our living room couch.

"Shut up!" Cynthia and I yelled in unison. caleb put his hands up in surrender,

"I never wanted to be saved. you should have let me die on that cliff. bye erik im leaving.I hope she makes you happy" She said letting it go .

"Cynthia God damnit get back here!" I yelled but she had already shut the door.

"thats my cue man, bye dude." Caleb said gracefully waltzing out of the room.

*one week earlier after the kidnapping incident*

She layed there asleep in my arms, sleeping soundly. I got out my phone and called us out of school for the day. Hours passed and soon i fell asleep too. I felt her stir and get up. I stretched out and my shoulder ached. She came back to the room with the truck keys and a beater for me.

"Hospital." She said rubbing her eyes.

"I dont need to go to the hospital." I argued.

"You were groaning in your sleep. and i couldnt get you to shut up." Cynthia countered.

"Maybe i was just having a REALLY good dream." I joked.

"Get up or else I'll shoot you in your other shoulder." She threatened and threw me the beater, took a drink of the water, then handed it to me.

I drank and got dressed. It was tuesday and 15 til noon. We walked to my truck and drove to the hospital.It was a quiet drive, neither of us really wanted to talk. I blamed myself for her being kidnapped, i should have been with her and i shouldnt have left. We checked in and they called us back shortly.

"You two are the cutest couple." complimented one of the nurses.

"Thank you" we both said. Cynthia was blushing.

The cops came into our room to take a statement. We both told them all what happened and while they seperated us i explained about the body in the spare room. It was all categorized under self defence and heroism. I didnt want cynthia to know about this all. I felt sickened yet sober about it all. i did what i did and i cant take it back. But i still took another persons life. I played god, and i didnt like it. The light leaving his eyes and his body turning cold and stiff, will most likely haunt me forever.

"We're aware of your priors. And of your little brother. But i know that this was nothing like this so il leave it be." Said the officer as cynthia came back into the room.

" I have no idea what youre talking about. sorry." I said looking down at my feet.

Cynthia looked at me with curiosity.

"I thought you didnt have a brother?" She accused.

"I dont." I said dropping the subject.

The police left the white and blue sanitary room, leaving cynthia and I alone until the doctor came in to examine my shoulder.
