Not Today

I stopped my breath and closed my eyes as I pressed the door bell for the fourth time.

Derex and Ysmael, though separately, tried to talk me out of this, yet here I am.

No one came out of the house, still.

Maybe this was a sign-that I was making the wrong decision. God, was I so stubborn to be here.

I waited, but no one seems to have learned I was here. Should I press it again? I contemplated.

Sighing, I turned my back. Maybe I should just go home.

Suddenly, I heard the gate opening. I turned back.
