Ami laid next to me, shuddering in horror, “You can’t leave me after what I… what we just saw.”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIjOtghkBn
“I’m sorry, Ami, but as soon as I speak to Preston, I’m outta here.”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUp0mrHMO3
“Yeah, you will be.” Preston glared, “Come here.”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyZvKDEUWC
“Did I... do something?” I asked when I was pulled aside,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlNCuOI1Oz
“No.” Preston sighed, even though I could tell by his expression that he was upset,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE9K6MNSl9
“C’mon, tell me.”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoh8J0iIpP
“It’s stupid.” He shook his head, avoiding my gaze,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡa45JD1uM0i
“You don’t get upset often, what is it?” I frowned,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJAkDzHykx
“I’m just… Ugh.” Preston looked around, biting his nails, “You were just cuddling with Ami, and… I-I dunno… It’s dumb.”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhmX9FovwM
“Aww, are you jealous?” I teased, making him laugh lightly,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFLPfUovik
“A little.” Preston muttered, rubbing the back of his neck,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwPo8Fs6UE
“Well, then I won’t do it again. Thanks for letting me know that,”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1jrIWjW60
“You promise?”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5iXSxzpPa
“Yes, I promise.” I smiled at him,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2SdElNDFs
“What happened between the two of you that caused you to… cuddle with them?”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHoxZjSRxZ
“D-Don’t worry about it.”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQKwdLTwFN
“Tyler? Why?”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz1uixvfhp
“Just trust me, it’s nothing you need to know about.”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeIRTMPOz9
“Why? Because you’re doing shit behind my back?”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNJ6YpqVaN
“What?! No! Of course I’m not! Why would I do that?!”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsaKn4Mnmq
“Well, I don’t know, but I can’t trust you, especially when you won’t tell me why!” Preston shouted, making me frown,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbbnW6ekq6
“Why can’t you trust me?”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTiDHMvP6L
“You cut, and smoked for years, and told me you didn’t... For years, Tyler! What’s the difference now?”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zt8B0owzA
“Because I’m not into them, that’s why!”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Udf4EpG2f
“Well I don’t know that!”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CJzyAKCtG
“Preston.. I’m sorry…” I muttered, looking down at the ground,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMQVOfH11O
“No, you aren’t sorry… G-Get out of here-”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSpPaBsK6n
“Preston, please I-”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJwo55bKvn
“No! And you know what?! Take your bag back, because I don’t want to see your damn face ever again!” He shoved the bag into my hands, before storming away, leaving me to sink to my knees, sobbing,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡph3LqKmsRF
“Tyler…” Ami peaked out at me from the corner,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡlogb12U0T2
“Please leave me alone, Ami…” I shook my head,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOuN7yCE5D
“O-Okay, just please don’t do anything stupid…” They advised, which I decided to ignore, bolting for the closest place in solitude. When I found the right place, I lit up a cigarette, which felt unusually ineffective.copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhInHaUZqk
I took a deep breath, and dug for a razor, smiling in satisfaction when it met my hand, already cutting me slightly.copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ3dbUKLZy
I searched my arm, calculating where the perfect spots would be, slowly dragging it across them. Typically I’d seethe a little, but this time? This time I was too numb to feel a damn thing, which only motivated me to cut deeper, and faster.copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KYW9GSIx4
Eventually, I stopped, my breathing slowed, and shallow, while my head began to pound, which was the only thing that was currently hurting. I felt myself smile again, as I knew what was occuring to my body.copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnN01thBvh
I weakly reached over to my bag, grabbing another cigarette, and lighting it, knowing that it would fasten the process to freedom… If I had known it’d be this easy, I would have done this years ago...copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oa5fSCh3T
“Shit! Elden! I told you we should’ve stepped in earlier!” I heard someone yell, though my brain wasn’t able to process the information, as it was too busy trying to keep itself working,copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpGKX1KMk8
“I thought he had more sense in him, but now’s not the time for this bullshit!” I felt my body be picked up, which sent pain radiating throughout my body, although I couldn’t react to it whatsoever, “Ugh, he’s so heavy!”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2AjAvOeCZ
“Yeah, he is. You called the medics, right?”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡACv60gGRwd
“Of course I did! What kind of cop do you think I am?”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE0vkiVb40
“A lousy one, if you didn’t want to stop him originally!”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡro7Mxj5dO2
“Whatever Tennille, let’s hurry up, and get this case closed, so we can work on cases that are actually important.”copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BfwuGh1DM
“This case is impor-” They started, getting cut off, at least to me, as my ears, and eyes decided it was time to shut down completely.copyright protection174ＰＥＮＡＮＡF02fR0Q3Y7
