Fool and Stupid

I was slowly drifting into sleep when I heard soft knocks on the door.

I drowsily opened my eyes and looked at the locked door. "Myra? Is that you?" No one else would come knocking at my door other than Myra, so I assumed she was here to help me with something.

However, instead of Myra's voice, I heard Caleb's deep yet gentle voice coming from the other side of the door. "It's me." He rattled the doorknob. "Why did you lock the door?"

Why did I lock the door? I scoffed to myself when I heard him. Oh, I don't know. Probably because we just had a fucking fight and I am terrified of you?

I didn't say that out loud though. I wasn't eager to court my death so soon.

"I'm sleeping. Why? Did you need something?" I asked, pretending to have forgotten all the hurtful things he said to me not too long ago.

I heard his voice again after a couple of seconds.

"I couldn't sleep. Can you open the door?"
