- 9.
I tried to kill myself, but Elijah stayed by my
side.
He peeled fruit for me, combed my hair,
taught me how to make rosaries.
He was so gentle, so handsome; any woman
would fall for him.
But my heart felt like it was encased in
cement.
I didn’t even want to look at him.
Jessica walked in, crying, grabbing Elijah’s
hand.
“Elijah, why didn’t you answer my calls? |
thought I’d lost you.”
“Bang!”
Elijah pushed her away.
She crashed against the wall.
Jessica’s eyes widened.
Elijah said coldly, “I only interacted with you
because you resembled someone I knew.”
く
“Now, get out.”
I remembered the news.
Elijah and Jessica in a hotel, kissing.
“Elijah, you slept with her. You have to take
responsibility.”
He froze.
“Mary, I didn’t sleep with her.”
“I went to the hotel with her because she
asked me to.”
“She wanted to talk to me.”
“I don’t need explanations.”
“I don’t want to hear it.‘
I only wanted to die and leave this world.
