“What are you thinking about? Spacing out at
a time like this?”
Danny’s low, rough voice snapped me back to
reality.
His hot breath tickled my ear.
I started crying and touched his cheek.
He had such beautiful eyes, but the only
person he truly saw wasn’t me.
く
The lustful look in his eyes turned to panic.
“Why are you crying? You…you don’t want
me?”
I did want him.
I loved him to the bone.
But I wasn’t evil enough to want everyone to
die!
“Danny, I regret it. I’m sorry. Let’s just stop
this…”
Danny was lost, but the next second, all his
senses shut down.
That’s when my sister came back.
Not just my sister, but Danny’s best friend,
Vince
They thought Danny was forcing himself on
me and yanked him away.
My sister even grabbed a broom and started
whacking him with it.
The whole thing was a mess. That’s when I
realized just how screwed up I was.
“It wasn’t Danny’s fault. It was me.”
I came clean about everything.
Everyone went silent, looking at me like I was
a stranger.
Vince pointed at me, seething, “You know
L
that’s a crime, right?”
“I know. I’m ready to face the
consequences.
“”
In the end, Danny stepped in front of me,
“She’s just a kid being stupid. Don’t make a
big deal out of it.”
“How can you still defend her?! She’s 22, not
a kid!”
I looked at Danny through my tears.
I wanted to take Danny to the hospital.
But the second I touched his arm, he shook
me off.
My sister sighed, “I’ll take him. You can stay
here and think about what you’ve done.”
Suddenly I understood what my sister meant
when she said, “Everyone loves me.
وو
That’s what it feels like when someone feally
doesn’t give a damn.
From that moment on, I had to atone for
everything.
