Sorry

Jay stood over Chloe’s sleeping body in the graveyard. So many options, Jay thought, running a hand through his hair.

The sun was going down and soon, someone would be looking for either of them. Probably Alex searching for Chloe and the police for Jay but he pushed those thoughts away, picking up Chloe slowly.

She didn’t stir in his arms which made it easier to get her into the passenger seat of his car and drive off. Chloe had picked the worst place to hide because Jay visited his mom in the graveyard every other day. She had been dead for years…

Jay pushed those feelings away when he parked in the driveway of his massive house. Hopefully, his dad would be too drunk to notice anything, too drunk to care what Jay did, like always.

Once inside, Jay locked the door to his room and placed Chloe on his bed as she continued to sleep. He looked over her, almost feeling sorry, and then he laughed out loud at the thought. Chloe stirred a little bit, her eyes opening the slightest.

“Sorry, ha!â€? Jay chuckled.
