Want to Play A Game

As I’m waking up, realizing that I must have fallen asleep, Matt gently taps me on my shoulder. “Hey Jessica, we are back at our accommodation.”

“What why did you drive back to our apartment we were supposed to go on adventure?”

“There is always time to plan an adventure but for now, lets go get some rest and plan where to go next.”

Sort of disappointed being back at the apartment, I really thought that we would just run away together. Oh, was I wrong, I know that he can see the disappointment in my face but doesn’t say anything. As we are going up the stairs I want to ask him why we came back. I don’t I just continue walking up the stairs. When I get to my apartment, he walks me to the door, I am not wanting to say goodbye, I want to ask him in, but I have the feeling that he doesn’t want to come in.

“Well, I had fun today, it was so much better than just sitting around not doing anything.”

I look at him confused it almost sounded like he is uncomfortable with his own words I find it so strange not sure what the hell is going on. “Yes, it was awesome I wish that it hasn’t ended so soon.”

Before I can even offer him to come in, he looks at me and says, “well good night sleep tight I’ll talk to you later” and he walks away for me.

I’m so confused not sure what changed from the lake to the drive home I know I fell asleep but all he would have to done was wake me. Wondering if maybe I did something wrong and upset him, maybe I shouldn’t have fallen asleep, I should have stayed awake and kept him company. Uncertain of what really happened I walk into my apartment I see my phone on the couch, so I go ahead I pick it up and look at it, I see that I have 25 missed calls holy shit. Knowing it’s a little late, I still think I should call her just to make sure everything is all right. So, I dial her number and I wait for her to answer.

“Hello Jessica Where have you been I’ve been worried sick, I’ve been calling you nonstop all day, and you never answered your phone and didn’t have the decency to call me back until this late hour.”

She yells at me, I’m not surprised by the tone she is always pissing this time at night “Mom I’m sorry that it is late I went out with a friend and I just got back now I forgot my cell phone, so I have no way of knowing that you called me is everything all right?”

“I wanted to tell you who killed Kendra your never going to be able to believe it I really don’t believe it myself.”

I know that my mother loves gossip, so I play along with her “Really mother you know who killed Kendra, who was it?”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It was Jake he killed Kendra they went out on a date, and they started talking about you and he suddenly just went the crazy he then attacked her and strangled her death.”

“Mother that is just gossip Jake would never kill somebody I don’t know where you heard of that, but that is just nonsense.”

“No Jessica it’s the truth he omitted to all of it, they found him at some junk hotel and brought him in to the station, and he confessed to everything.”

“Mother I have to go I can’t talk about this is just crazy I’ll call you tomorrow I’m going to get some rest I love you goodbye.”

I hang up the phone shocked by what my mother has just told me I can’t believe that I was with her killer all this time, how could this be. Jake wasn’t this kind of person. What would drive him so mad that he would kill her. Was he badly affected about our relationship and he to gone so crazy that he killed someone? I start to feeling bad wondering was this my fault did she die because of me. The news has just hit me to my core wondering what the hell was he thinking when he decided to kill her. Not sure how to handle the situation I just sit on my couch and stare into space so shocked by the news. Then I start to think back at the time that Jake attacked me. Would he have killed me if Matt wouldn’t have come in to help me?

I never thought that he would ever put his hands on me in the first place, so maybe he would have killed somebody. Is that why the detective weren’t outside, I didn’t think to look, but I didn’t notice them because they’re gone they got Jake? This all makes no sense I’m so confused I just need sleep I can’t lay in my bed just yet I need to get a shower to get that lake off of me. I strip my clothes off me turn the shower on and let it warm once it’s warm enough I get into the shower filling the water over my body loving the feeling so good to get cleaned up I wash my body and then my hair I soak myself in the water and just stand there for a couple of minutes letting her water rinse my body From all the filth of the day. I then decide it’s time to get out as I dry myself off and get into my dresser drawer I grab a shirt I put it on then I lay in my comfy bed I get under the covers drift into oblivion.
