Echoes of a Past I Could Drown In
"Say you can hear me, Jeremy!"
And he could. He could hear every tearful word she said.
Shutting her out only worked for a moment.
And then she was back. Crying his name. Twisting his gut into knots of guilt - and he couldn't figure out who it was he felt worse for hurting.
But he kept his back to her. If he didn't react, she'd never know.
It was a lie when he told Bonnie that she was gone. It was a lie - and maybe Bonnie saw through it. Maybe that was why she closed off and shut him out - "I need time to think, Jeremy."
He didn't watch her leave the room, he didn't chance looking at the bathroom doorway.
"I'm all alone."
Yeah. That made two.
