I drove as Paul sat in the back with kayla, making sure she was ok. I didn’t really know where I was going for a while, I was just driving where my thoughts took me, and when I finally stopped, we were at the lake.
What the hell? Why did i drive here?
But neither Paul nor Kayla complained, we just stayed there for what seemed like an eternity until Kayla spoke up.
“Tom…”
“Yes, Kay?”
“Im… Im really sorry about everything between us… I know what I did hurt you, but Id really give anything to have you back…”
I’d thought the night had been over, but I was wrong… In that moment, I hated everything: my heartbreak, the love I had for two girls, Shane, and I even felt a singe of anger towards Paul for shooting him… Now the police would be investigating. I cursed everything in the world, even God…
“Is it alright if she stays at your place, Paul?”
“I don’t see why not..”
His voice was whispy and emontionless. As I put the car in reverse, i felt more tears running down my already red cheeks.
