I shook as I gathered her wet hair and draped it over the pillow.
I trembled as I stood over her, trying to find other ways to fix what I’d broken.
With a heavy sigh, I moved away and swallowed a groan.
Everything hurt.
Everything throbbed.
Yet nothing could touch the pain she’d caused.
Biting my lip, I glanced at my left side.
The colours had only gotten deeper. The sharp pain she’d mentioned whenever she breathed affected me too. I’d managed to ignore it while killing Kyle. I didn’t have time to focus on it while carrying Peter, but now…all alone, my legs chose that exact moment to buckle.
The dizziness.
The faintness.
I crashed to the floor, bracing myself on my hands and knees as my heart flurried and the sick sensation of not being able to get enough oxygen made the room turn black.
Darkness pounced, not done with me.
I pressed my forehead to the floor as every sin throttled me with violence.
Sickness gushed, but I swallowed it down.
Sweat ran over my skin, soaking into my blood-soaked bandage.
I couldn’t stop the crash.
Couldn’t catch a breath or stop hearing Ily calling me Hen or me telling her I loved her every time I said her damn name.
I love you.
I love you.

It only grew worse.
Greyness snuck over my vision.
Weakness stole through every bone, and my body tipped with warning.
I had seconds.
Mere seconds and I didn’t want to pass out on the floor.
Staggering to my feet, I turned off the bedside light, then stumbled, shuffled, and fell through the dark to my side of the bed.
I tumbled beside Ily.
I grunted in pain.
Darkness grabbed me and sucked me deep.
