“Who are we?”
Damn good question. Two lost souls sharing our pain and hot sex or two idiots feeding each other’s grief? Who the hell knows. “I don’t know,” I honestly admit.
“Me either,” she whispers.
“You don’t have to do this.”
“I know. I want to.”
“Why? You hate me.”
She takes forever to reply, and I wonder if she’s nodded off to sleep. “You hate me too, and I don’t work well with conscious feelings, you know that,” she admits. “But Faye told me what happened earlier, and I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I didn’t want you to be alone, so here I am.”
“What does it mean?”
“Fecked if I know.”
That brings a smile to my face. I reach around for her hands, pulling them tighter to my waist. Her body squashes against mine, and it feels nice. Soothing. I hold onto her hands, rubbing circles on her skin. “Thank you. I’m glad you’re here.”
“Me too.”
We don’t speak after that, but it’s a comfortable silence. We stay wrapped around one another, and the stifling pain in my chest loosens a little. My eyes are shuttering, and I’m on the verge of unconsciousness when she calls my name. “Hmm?”
“For the record, I don’t hate you anymore. I don’t know if I ever really did,” she whispers.
“I don’t hate you either,” I mumble, and then slumber claims me, and I drift off into the welcoming darkness.
