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
