I'm fine

Jarred pulled me, turning me to him and his hand went in my face and wiped the unnoticed tears in my cheeks. I looked straight in his eyes but he was preoccupied with something and just stared at me with black expression.

"You can't even put up a nice fight, you're boring" he muttered to my utter confusion.

"Why'd you sign the contract?" I gritted

"I'm not as boring as you," he replied before calling someone on his phone. I turned and continue heading up

"Clean up the mess" I heard him order but I was too tired to even care about what happened.

I stripped the dress somewhere as well as the heels and went straight to my drawer pulling out three sticks of cigarettes in one pack.

I lay on the couch not bothering my nakedness as I eased on the cold air coming from the window blowing slowly away the smoke coming out from my mouth.

Tears slowly crept down on my cheeks as my mind went for a few recollections that happened earlier.

What happened earlier? Am I so focused towards Larryson that I didn't even notice what happened around me? But it seems it isn't just me who looked startled. I saw how Larrison's face contorted into something I didn't expect. He got scared. He feared Jarred.

I don't think Jarred did all the killing, those implanted weapons a while back when they're setting the place has something to do with his plan. That's why the walls are smeared with blood. There must be detonators around. But I honestly didn't hear an explosion.

I flicked the burnt cigar at the ashtray and lit up another. My head hurts about it. And why are these tears kept on falling?!

I took a long drag because the sensation burns my lungs and so I exhaled it immediately, coughing. I laughed at my own stupidity and applied a slight pressure in my aching head.

I feel like I'm floating, I laughed hysterically and coughed when my breath got caught up in my throat. I wipe the tears that still flooding down.

"You could sign it up or i'll kill this beautiful and slaying woman in front of me"

"I hate to admit it but she's not that important, so i don't really care, what's with the hostility Mr. Robbins?"

---

"What? You're gonna shoot me?"

"Go on Roan, you had betrayed me worse, this isn't different"

"You can't, of course. You loved me after all"

" And I don't"

---

My laughter went uncontrollably loud and I'm seeing things played in my head that should've been long gone.

Am I too naive?

What's even the point of being a woman when all I do is to suffer emotional breakdowns?! Why do I have to be emotionally sensitive! These tears will only drain me for pete's sake! I didn't want tears but it kept flowing down like an open faucet.

A sudden creak on my door stole my whole attention and my body jolted up and turned to the person who walked in.

"Oh- naked. Completely naked."

He murmured something that I can't quite decipher. I sense him walked near me but, I on the other hands can't seems to make my eyesight clear.

"Stop smoking" he muttered and his voice instantly registered in my head.

"Jarred, what are you doing here?" I asked as I wiped my eyes for a clearer view.

"I just wanted to check on you" he replied as my eyes became clear. He was standing in front of me staring straight in my eyes. I blinked a few more times.

"You know, you don't have to, I'm not that important," I replied, almost surprised by the sudden rudeness.

I saw him clenched his jaw and walked closer. I didn't move nor averted my eyes away.

"You're talking back" he hissed as he tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.

"You don't really care right?" I muttered and about to move away from him but his warm hand held my waist

"You're right, I don't care and you're not that important, that's why you're right here, with me Khalil" he muttered so low that a shiver ran down my spine.

The pain in my head doubled and I started to feel dizzy and the places were spinning.

My hands moved on their own to massage my temple once again.

"Are you alright?" I heard him ask but it sounded too far.

"Khalil?" He called voice went clear yet again

"I'm fine, I want to rest," I replied hissing.

"Are yo-"

"Im fine Jarred" i insisted angrily and he just gave me a blank look

"Okay" he replied shortly and walked out like nothing happened.

I hissed and tried my best to walk in my bed and gladly found it and slumped my body flatly.

I decided to sleep away from the banging pain of my head so I thought it would be gone tomorrow.
