Hide


I’m not the kind of person that easily surprised with anything anymore. My life’s lost its sparks a long time ago. But this news I heard straight from your mouth shook me up to the core.
I want to confess, you said.
You came to my house at 1 AM. I know you know my sleep schedule so well and I also used to call you around that time.
Come in, I said. Your face looks paler than ever. Have you eaten? You look so pale. Are you okay? I’m getting worried.
You sit on my sofa, still silent. I go to the kitchen to make you some hot tea.
Here, maybe it could help, I give you the cup and sitting beside you.
I heard you said thanks in a very small voice.
There’s a bit cold silence. I never feel like this when I have been around you since the day one I know you but today.
I killed her.
Kill what?
I killed her… I threw her body into the sea… Three days ago…
Wait… Wait… You what?
You just look at me with that weary expression. No words. You know I heard it well and just don’t know how to react.
You… killed her…?
You nod.
Why?
You sip the tea before answering. It’s over between us. I couldn’t help her anymore, and I thought this was the best way for us to… end this. I don’t want to be egoist to said that I’m tired, both of us tired but… She hides it from me. No, she didn’t hide it, she’d lie to me… I’m sorry I never really talk about this with you. You know, I just didn’t want to make you worry…
But what if anyone suspicious?
No, nobody will. She isolated herself since consuming those drugs and nobody ever cared for her…
And… what do you want me to do now?
You sigh. Nothing. I just want to confess.
Are you wanted to turn yourself to the police?
No. And I hope you won’t report me. Just play dumb if someone ever asks though I doubt it…
I understand. I’ll keep this to the grave.
You finally smile. I know I can count on you. Please don’t tell anyone includes The Twins. I’ll tell them when I feel I need to and I’ll tell you soon if I told them so you won’t feel burdened too long. So far, only you and Val that knew this. I’m sorry but I trust you.
How many secrets have we shared and how many secrets we’ve kept to ourselves?
Don’t worry. Stay here tonight, I’ll accompany you until you feel better.
Thanks.
I don’t know if I did the right thing or not but I just want you to know I will always on your back.
