I know I've been lazy. But tonight I'm going to write this. But I'll take only two hours maximum writing it. There's a meteor shower tonight at 2am and I wish to share it with my love. Lying on the roof on a summer night watching shooting stars coupled with soft music playing in the background and the heaven's looking down on us. I don't know why but I've always liked staring up at the sky it brings out a sense of peace in me so please understand if it wasn't to your tastes.
I've been a procrastinator for a week now. I know...I know I'm supposed to have a good work ethic, get things done, and not be a slacker since it's very uncharacteristic of me. I just have to say all work and no relaxation makes me a really dull guy.

Demented Insane Spirit: You silly woman. You let odd stories slip into your community. I was talking to one of them and she gave me quite the tongue. All yelling at me for not liking yaoi. And another one was saying that no one could tell her what to add or not. Yaoi and BL lovers scare me...I can't uphold a conversation with them before they start foaming at the mouth and baring their fangs. Proves how much I can't handle women...
I hope that you like this chapter...
Jasmin Kaiba: Thanks for finding it funny. It just proves our taste in humor is alike.
Kermita: I helped a little bit with Tea's POV last chapter and it seems I'll do the same in this chapter. I just want this chapter to turn out right. Just keep in mind that it won't be that funny as previous chapters.
KillTheSnakesx: Atemu is such an odd character. I hope that this chapter was to your liking.
R0gue Lebeau: You've been waiting for what happens next so here it is. I just wonder if it was to your tastes.
Disclaimer: There's nothing I own. I only own this plot, the situations, and this life I lead.
"There aren't specific locations you need to be but stay within the country we can't have you flying away again now can we?"
"Of course," Kaiba muttered remembering how he flew all the way to that goofball's house. I'm not even sure if that frilly lollipop of a man can protect me from that other organization even now. At least Tea's alright… They won't follow-up on their threats unless I go beyond the time limit so she should be fine. She looked fine… Who am I kidding? She looked beautiful even then in her captor's hands. Only more reason to finish this and free her from their grasp. What a sick game this had turned out to be…
Meikyu then turned to Espier and whispered to him, "Wouldn't it be better if we settled this now, Boss? If we wait even for the week to be over it could be too late."
Gurimo who overheard their conversation chimed in, "From our latest reports we've noticed that the Industrial Illusion's president losing grip over the third party. If we hesitate the Paradise organization could break free and attack Kaiba at any day. If we set up the location now there's less of a chance that Paradise will be able to move fast enough to stop us."
Meikyu then asked, "Wouldn't it be better to hand her back to him sooner and just get the money, the items and leave? The sooner the better, you know?"
Espier obviously already thought this all through agreed with them. He planned to wait because he considered Kaiba to take longer but that no longer mattered.
"Kaiba, after some discussion we figured that you'd like your Miss Tea sooner like how'd we want the gold and money sooner. We have a location set up for us to make the exchange. Go to the docks, I'm sending the location to your phone. Look for warehouse number three we'll make the exchange right behind it. We'll meet you there, you have an hour," with that the connection was severed.
The four assassins with Tea following close behind them left the dank room and down the stairs to the lower floor. Tea had never willfully walked downstairs before so it surprised her to find a kitchen and homey living room there. Espier started the engine of a large car in the garage of the small house. When she looked at the outside world for the first time in days she actually felt astonished to find it bathed in the yellow glow of sunlight, she half expected it to be enshrouded by darkness like that room.
Placing her hand over her eyes like a visor she tried to divert the sun's angry glare from her sensitive eyes. Meikyu seeing that took the sunglasses he had been wearing and without a word handed it to her. Tea gratefully took it saying a single word of thanks before climbing into the bronze Escalade along with the other guys.
Espier barely looked back as he drove out of the gravel driveway as he spoke to her, "Once we get on the road you must know that if you start pounding on the windows or try to escape we'll simply tie you up and throw you in the trunk."
He was about to continue when Tea stopped him, "I won't try anything. I already know it'd be useless to oppose."
She was surrounded by the guys who she spent hours talking to, sleeping besides in a creepy attic, she knew them well and though it hurt to admit it Tea was attached to them no matter how slight the bond.
Kaiba's POV
Kaiba pressed on the break abruptly making Atemu smash his nose into the dashboard. Then Kaiba backed up and turned the car swiftly around causing his passenger to smash into the side window.
Rubbing his nose Atemu turned to Kaiba but before he could say anything the CEO said, "It was your fault you wore your seatbelt wrong. The shoulder strap isn't supposed to be stuck to your back."
"Kaiba, you…"
Then deciding against throwing another argument at the driver Atemu crossed his arms across his chest and just watched the passing scenery.
"The docks, what a memorable place…"
Atemu nodded, "Is it the same place where I dueled with Joey or is it on the opposite side?"
"It's near that place… It brings back unfavorable memories doesn't it?"
Atemu simply nodded wondering why Kaiba was trying to start a conversation.
Thinking back to the time he said, "Fighting against my best friend. I knew it wasn't entirely him but still having to choose between lives… Hey, who knew that Marik would actually turn out to be a friend?"
"Friend? The guy is still mad," Kaiba muttered remembering what happened at their yearly picnic years past.
"He may be mad but he can cook better than Isis can," Atemu joked.
Kaiba looked towards the horizon seeing a faint blue shimmering line at the end of it. "I can still remember that day as if it was yesterday…"
"Really? That day where you saved Tea, Joey, and I then pretending you did so just because you owed Tea for saving Mokuba?"
Gritting his teeth at Atemu's chosen words he grunted a reply.
"Your tournaments are deathtraps Kaiba. Please don't set up another one…"
Kaiba smirked at that comment.
The roads soon cleared of most cars and the huge cranes that were used to carry those tremendous rusty iron cargo crates came into view. The ocean could be seen between the fisheries and warehouses. Gangs and Yakuza usually dealt in the area so graffiti decorated the side of some buildings, crates, and even a few docked ships. The huge crates were lined up in row after row beside the road they drove down.
Kaiba drove alongside the warehouses and watched as the warehouse numbers dwindled from twenty to three. An old broken down warehouse. It was apparent that it hasn't been used in a while. The doors were broken in and roof boards littered the floor while shafts of light entered the broken building through the gaping holes in its thin roof. Kaiba drove behind it and parked close to the back of the warehouse.
A bronze Escalade entered from the other side of the warehouse and parked a few feet from the dock itself so that it was on the opposite side of Kaiba. Kaiba and Atemu stepped out of their car and approached the other car. Four men stepped out of the other car.
Kaiba took the bag of Duke's money from the trunk and slung it across one shoulder as he approached them. The two sides were face to face. One facing the ocean the other facing the city.
"Here are the items and the cash you have asked for," Kaiba informed.
The leader of the group Kaiba assumed was the man who had been driving gave a curt nod and gestured to the cash. Without a second thought Kaiba threw the money over to the biggest henchman.
As Atemu and Tea stepped forward about to switch sides the Vanquish behind Kaiba and Atemu exploded throwing the two nearly into the ocean from its heat and shock waves. The assassins finding their location has been discovered panicked. The flaming car bathed everything in an eerie orange and red flickering light.
Espier quickly thought up a solution as he started up the car.
"Gurimo carry the money to the car. Kotsuzuka get Tea back to the car before she runs off. Meikyu look on the scanners and find out who's attacking us,"
he ordered brusquely.
Gurimo moved quickly hauling the load into the trunk before getting himself inside the car. Meikyu rushed to the car and fiddled with his equipment for a while before yelling out, "It's Paradise they are here! They must've followed both of us here."
Kaiba struggled to get back onto the dock but he was finding it hard to get a grip on the slick wet boards. Tea was trying to get to him to help pull him up when Kotsuzuka picked her up and carried her away. He could only reach out to her with his hand weakly as she just shouted out his name and struggled in her captor's grasp.
Espier walked back Kaiba swiftly and threw at sheet of paper before him saying, "Our location has been compromised…"
"Go to this location, Kaiba. There's no time limit this time unless we call. See you then."
With that the leader left along with the bronze Escalade and his chance of getting Tea back this hour.
Kaiba looked at the burning vehicle that Schroider had treasured. A group of suits and bikers appeared from beyond its growing flames.
Damn it Dartz! Why him of all people? Wait, this means that Pegasus failed… That unfabulous old fart, I knew he couldn't handle himself. I just said fabulous in my mind, didn't I?
Atemu turned to him obviously trying to get a grip on the slippery planks of wood as well, "Who are those men approaching us with guns?"
"Men who the gender-questioning-bunny-loving-fool failed to hold back for me."
"Why are there bikers? Are they anything like the Hell's Angels? Wait, the bunny-lover…what?"
"No, they are just Dartz's crazed men."
Suddenly other suits came out from in front of the warehouse. They were wearing sunglasses and were looked as if they were pointing their gun fingers at the armed men to kill them. With Pegasus' suits came his helicopter. The deafening thuds of the propellers against the air got louder as the helicopter hovered over the wooden planks. A compact roll steel ladder fell out of the open side door like a lolling tongue and at the end of it the one and only Maximillion Pegasus.
"My apologies Kaibaboy, they slipped out of my grasp," Pegasus offered his hand to Kaiba.
Kaiba slapped the gloved hand away and dragged himself back onto the slippery worn dock. Breathing heavily he turned to Pegasus and said, "I trusted you to keep them at bay for a week, Pegasus. Just a week and you couldn't even handle it…"
Kaiba got up and walked over to Atemu and helped him from slipping into the ocean. "Thanks Kaiba I thought I was going to fall for sure."
"With all of that gold you would sink to the bottom of the ocean wouldn't you?"
Before Atemu could yell at Kaiba for laughing at his accessories Kaiba crumpled the address in his hand and told Pegasus, "Make a deal with Dartz or something do whatever it takes. I just need you to hold them off just until this day is through. Let's go."
The pharaoh nodded and went with Kaiba. Without a car it'd take a while but we should be able to get there before it gets dark if we run for it…
They were barely twenty feet from Pegasus before he complained, "My nephew hates making deals! Kaibaboy!"
Atemu and Kaiba exchanged glances. "I thought Dartz was over a million years old…"
Kaiba kept his unrelenting pace, "Maybe he's not a true relative and he just calls him that. How could Pegasus be that old?"
Atemu tried to catch up but Kaiba had longer strides, "It'd kind of make sense Kaiba, I mean think about it when Pegasus when to Egypt it wasn't fully modernized was it? There were still dusty roads and the ghost of Shadi led him to a tomb."
"He's not older than you but Dartz is," Kaiba muttered.
Breathing laboriously he said, "You've got a point there. I wonder if that funny pink haired guy is related to Pegasus or Dartz… Remember the guy from your very last tournament?"
"…of course I remember him. He tried to kill me remember?"
"I… forgot."
Suddenly Kaiba stopped and pulled Atemu back as well.
"Kaiba, what's wrong? The location is," Kaiba clapped his hand over Atemu's mouth and told him to be quiet.
They ran north from the docks bringing them into the rich and prospering homes of the rich in Domino. All of the homes in the area had a perfect view of the Pacific Ocean. Iron gates, immaculate manicured lawns, and mansion sized homes stood upon the hills. Kaiba hesitated before peeking over the hedges of the next corner. Just as he suspected a few suits were standing there in the cul-de-sac blocking their way down the street. Suddenly he heard running footsteps from behind them. Not knowing if they were against them or for them Kaiba immediately grabbed Atemu by the collar of his shirt and pulled him into the hedges and disappeared into the bushes himself.
Atemu whispered in the dark, "Kaiba, what's going on?"
"There are Dartz's men in front of us and I heard some guys approaching from behind us," Kaiba whispered back.
Finally able to catch his breath Atemu asked, "How can you tell they were Dartz's men?"
"They were holding weapons. Pegasus' men's weapons were erased…"
Atemu whispered a small "oh" before returning to look at the men looking standing around looking important.
Soon a bunch of suits passed by their hiding spot and the two held their breath. They ran up to the other men looking confused. As the two parties spoke Kaiba stepped out of the hedges and onto the lawn of the manor. Atemu followed Kaiba across the lawn and right before they could pass into the next lawn the owner of the manor shouted at them.
"Stop!"
Shit, now the police will be sent after us… Stingy rich people and their attitudes towards disheveled trespassers…
Kaiba stopped and turned around.
"Mr. Kaiba! What are you doing here?" The old man shouted rather loudly.
Kaiba bowed to him as a greeting and held a finger to his lips as he strode over to the man.
"Mr. Chairman, you'll disrupt the neighbors. Now, there's a reasonable explanation why I'm standing on your lawn," Kaiba tried to explain but he was cut off by the old man.
"Mr. Kaiba, why don't you come into my house my wife will make us some tea and we can talk about that new product."
Right, like I'm going to ignore Tea and come sipping tea and talking about some mechanism that allows people to talk to each through holograms instead of face to face.
"Mr. Chairman, I'm afraid I have to decline," Kaiba bowed to him again and was about to explain the reason why when a shout of alarm came from beyond the iron wrought fence.
"Kaiba, hold it!"
Kaiba turned on his heel to see the group of armed men charge towards the fence. As soon as they lowered their weapons Kaiba grabbed both Atemu and the chairman by the shoulder and pushed them both towards the ground before withdrawing his pistol and fired in a line, blowing apart their calves and shins before they could aim and re-fire.
As the line of men fell Kaiba shook the chairman's hand, told him he'd meet him later, and grabbed the Pharaoh by the collar of his shirt before rushing out of the gates and back onto the sidewalk. I'm out of ammo… shit. At least this will be a good blunt object to throw at someone before I steal his gun.
As Kaiba ran off he left the chairman staring after him wondering if his boss's secret life contained special police agent work. "This will make the headlines… I have to get to a phone!"
Atemu had slowed down when Kaiba let go of him and now he had caught up with what looked like a semi-automatic rifle in his hands.
"Where did you get that Atemu?"
Still staring at the weapon Atemu replied, "When you dragged me past those guys I got caught on this and decided to take it with me."
"If it slows you down leave it behind," was all Kaiba said as they made their way up a hill. The ocean air clung to them making them taste nothing but salt. Looking around the area for anyone that looked out of place they quickly noticed a group of people following them up the hill they just climbed over. Kaiba gestured Atemu to go off to one side while he went to the other.
The pair waited until the whole group had their backs to them before Kaiba struck out with his pistol and hit the nearest guy to him in the back of the head. As the man crumpled to his knees Kaiba took the hand gun the man had in his shoulder holster. Before the rest of the group realized one of the members was down Kaiba shot the ones standing right in front in the back of the leg under the knee. Along with taking the pistol Kaiba also procured the three magazines the man had stowed with it.
When they all collapsed he watched as Atemu wacked his opponents with the rifle as if he was holding a machete. Seeing how the pharaoh was getting a bit too excited Kaiba grabbed him by his upper arm and dragged him down the street.
This is odd. No one here has come out screaming yet or calling the police… It was the same way when I was being attacked at Isis's house. What's going on?
They continued north towards the more wealthy homes and manors of Domino's residents. Slowly the mansions became more expansive and took up more and more land. Atemu who had never been in this area of the city thought, "People up here must live like kings…"
Running around one turn on the sidewalk Kaiba and Atemu came face to face with a group of over ten of Dartz's men. The two immediately turned around to try and navigate their way around the mob of armed men when they heard footsteps coming from the direction they were going so they turned around. Kaiba rushed towards the crowd they faced and he shot two down when he saw a blur pass by him. The group from behind them had caught up…
But abruptly Dartz's men charged toward the newcomers. Looking back he saw that Pegasus' crew was the one that was behind them. Kemo appeared by Kaiba's side with his trusty invisible gun and nodded to the two of them agreeing to keep Dartz's men busy while they went to get Tea back.
They ran on towards Gozaburo's old manor.
Soon the homes on the side of the road became increasingly secluded as if their owners intended to be hermits. At the very end of the road sitting on a great cliff stood a mansion bigger than any of the other homes in the area. Atemu stopped walking for a bit and looked up at it.
When Kaiba took over his job as CEO he decided to live at his stepfather's riverside home instead since it was more isolated from the other homes unlike this one which was made to intimidate and frighten people away. He didn't think it would fit to stay in the house anyways since it was incommodious for just two people to live in. The house had long wasted away since Kaiba last saw it. The gates were hanging by their hinges no longer useable to close the manor off from the world. The fresh red bricks were now a rusted iron red in hue. The roof in some places had long caved in leaving gaping holes like open wounds. The marble columns were chipped and some of them had fallen to the side leaving the side of the house it supported to cave in. Old window draperies and shutters were torn and were waving madly through their broken windows like frightened ghouls in the ocean breeze.
The whole of the manor grounds were overrun with overgrown weeds and trees. The lawn was practically a forest of dandelions and ivy. The only parts left unscathed by the plants was the broken stone path that led to the front door.
The two walked up this path and past the broken double oak doors and into the foyer. The marble flooring was once polished so that one could see his reflection while looking at it but now it was coated with decade's worth of dust and debris. The velvet carpets that led from one room to another was now shredded and fringed looking like rags resting atop the dusty floors. The furniture that decorated each room was still covered in white sheets.
Kaiba's shoes clicked against the marble floors with every step he took. Atemu followed him closely as he weaved between furniture. Then past the foyer's furniture the living room opened up. Tea stood there with her hands tied in front of her. Only one of the assassins stood before him mostly likely the leader.
Maybe the other ones are surrounding me and Atemu as we stand here…
Kaiba wanted to say something to her just anything but he was afraid to speak because of the gun pointing at her could fire at any minute.
He pushed Atemu forward slightly, "You can have the items. Just give Tea back to me."
Espier lowered his gun on Tea and shoved her over to Kaiba. In her own rush and the hit man's push Tea stumbled in her footsteps but Kaiba stepped forward and caught her with his arm before holding her close.
Cupping her cheek in one hand he asked, "Are you ok?"
She just nodded before placing her head against his chest saying softly, "I…missed you."
He grinned at her warmly before looking up at Atemu who was staring at the blue haired man sadly, "I can't believe you are giving me up to this man. Choosing Tea over me…"
Kaiba let out an exasperated sigh, "For the last time he doesn't want you, Atemu just the items," then Kaiba joked, "Who would want you anyways?"
Atemu glared at the blue eyed man then turned back, puffed out his chest, and said, "A lot of people would want me Kaiba. …It's just hard to give up such momentums. This used to contain my soul and allowed me to live alongside Yugi. This was held by Mahad who fought bravely against Bakura. This eye belonged to my friend's father and this," he held up the rod, "belonged to him… Kaiba, know the price of giving up these items," Atemu warned.
Kaiba frowned at Atemu and through gritted teeth he grudgingly said, "I know, Atemu. I know. I witnessed a replay of the events. If the price is the resurrection of Zorc then so be it. When he appears I'll pay the price. Tea is worth that much to me…"
The ancient pharaoh rolled his ruby red eyes, "You'll risk enshrouding the world in complete darkness for her?"
Then looking at Tea he gave her a small smile and said, "It's not that I don't think you are worth the sacrifice but…"
A yell interrupted Atemu digging himself into a deep hole, "Wait!"
"Hold on, here. Are we here to talk about the inevitable end or trade?"
"Atemu, just hand him the items already. Let's not cause any problems," Kaiba said looking straight at Espier who had his gun still aimed at Tea.
"…but Kaiba, this is the possible end we are talking about!"
"Will you all just shut up?!" Espier shouted shooting a warming shot at Kaiba's and Tea's feet.
A low snarl emitted from the CEO, "Do you have a death wish?"
Espier snapped his head towards Kaiba's direction at this comment, "What?!"
Kaiba shrugged out of Tea's embrace and stepped forward saying, "You heard what I said. I agreed to your deal, both of them even though they were completely ridiculous and here you are crying about it. Even threatening to shoot me."
"Threatening? It's not just a threat."
Tea stepped in front of Kaiba and placed her hands on his chest attempting to hold him back, "Seto, the deal is already done. Espier is all bark and no bite just let him be. Let's just return home and let this all go back to normal…please."
Looking into her wide pleading eyes he nodded and backed down.
The assassin hearing Tea's comment raised his weapon again. This time Atemu tried to stop him by offering him all of the items in his arms but he failed. Kaiba though saw the weapon's point from the corner of his eye aiming at himself or Tea he couldn't tell but he knew the latter shouldn't endure it if the shot doesn't miss. Seeing the gunman squeeze the trigger he shoved Tea from him before turning and confronting the attack.
Tea heard the shot as she slid across the dusty marble but couldn't do a thing as she watched it seemingly in slow motion as he fell. The first thing he felt was his body tensing for the impact. Then the dull thud as if he had been punched in the chest, the air in his lungs was released in one breath that left him chocking he realized on his own blood. Then the pain as it tore through him. A second later the pain felt as if it had exploded and increased ten-fold. Kaiba heard a yell of pain but it took him a while to realize that the scream had come from his own throat.
He crumpled to his knees, clutching his chest, and was about to fall forward when Tea appeared by his side holding him up.
Tea's POV (written by you know who)
"Oh God… Oh God… Don't die… Please don't," Tea uttered in soft gasps.
That's all I can say? Damn, why must I be so weak?! …he's dying and I can't…I can't do anything. Seto…I have so many things I wanted to tell you. If you leave me who else is there? My friends have their own lives but I…my life was you. What am I going to do without you? There's no one else that treats me like you can…
She held him to her but she could feel him struggling against her, hear the gurgle of his blood filling up his lung and him chocking and gasping.
"Kaiba!" She barely heard Atemu yell scream out his name he sounded so distant.
Seto please don't… You were the only one who held me close so that I could feel your warmth at night keeping me safe in your embrace. You kept me close to you as we watched the stars… Who else could be so crazy as to sleep on the roof through a thunderstorm? Who could laugh and dance through the rain with me other than you? I never told you but you are the only one for me…
She ran her hand through his hair and looked into his eyes though they seemed to fade and lose their vibrancy of life.
I never blamed you for anything, Seto. On that day we fought…I don't mean a word of that now but how am I to say that now? How can I say anything while you are…you are…
Tea had tried to hold on to her tears and tried and smile for him but the strength to fight them eluded her and they fell. But before she could wipe them away Kaiba reached up and brushed them away with his thumb saying, "Don't cry, Tea…"
Oh, Seto…
I waited for days in the dark hoping that you would save me. I knew you would save me I knew you would come for me. I never lost hope in you… This couldn't be what I had been waiting for. I wanted to go home with you. Start a new life, a new beginning with you by my side. You promised me we were going to go to the beach next week after you sorted things out at work. You always prided yourself with keeping your word saying that a gentleman's word was like gold. I just laughed at you then… Seto… I know that you coming to my rescue was good enough and that it's enough that you are here in my arms in this moment. How am I supposed to say goodbye to my heart…?
"Seto!"
Kaiba's POV
He could see her mouth moving but he could barely hear what she was saying. As Kaiba looked into her tear filled eyes his vision blurred everything to smears of colors. The agonizing pain felt as if he had been shot repeatedly not just once. He briefly heard a loud shout.
Most likely Atemu complaining about something…
Kaiba felt like collapsing but she held him up cradling his head in her arms.
"Seto! Seto! Can you hear me?!"
He could barely hear her even though she was yelling in his ear. All sounds were muffled.
Kaiba reached up and rubbed a few stray tears away from her face with his thumb. He opened his mouth and tried to say something but he couldn't hear he wanted to console her say something or say anything but she stopped him by placing her finger against his lips and smiled down on him.
Tea… I fought so hard to get here and yet here I am fighting to say just a few words to you… I'm sorry that you are crying because of me. Why is it that with everything I'm incapable of doing I'm able to make the one I love most cry? I just wanted to tell you that I…
Tea's last shout fell on deaf ears.
…I know I know I'm late. Yell at me all you want. Being this late was worth it. You have to agree.
Ok Reality to Fiction:
Docks: Long time ago me and some random guys from school always played by the Osaka Docks. We played chicken a lot on the wooden docks near the empty warehouses and sometimes we'd fall into the ocean and had to swim back to shore or climb back up.
Running through Mansion Hill: My friends and I started playing paintball at one neighborhood and slowly we made our way up the hill. There were three teams blue, red, and gold. We would rush across lawns, get yelled at by rich folks, and eventually got arrested by guards after we paintballed them. It was all in good fun.
One of the tactics was that my team (blue) got help from the red team after a while of fighting. That's how I weaved Pegasus' men into the story; before I just thought of Dartz's men after them.
Mansion on the Hill: I remembered seeing an old broken down mansion sitting on the highest point of the hill and it became the basis of Gozaburo's manor.
Kaiba Getting shot: I got shot once. Just once but it felt worse than dying. The bullet broke my collarbone and grazed my upper lung or something like that. Terrible exit wound came out of it. The girl who I shoved out of the bullet's path was less than grateful. I'm standing there struggling for breath and she screams at me saying I caused her to graze her knees. Then she goes off on me until she learned that I got shot then she said, "Looks pretty bad but at least it hit you on the right side right? You'll live…"
She didn't help me get to the hospice, say thanks, or anything. …I limped to the hospice like a wounded dog…stupid woman. Sometimes I regret shoving her out of the way but boyfriends do that for their girlfriend right? Take a bullet for her even if it means death?
…I must be an awful boyfriend couldn't even save her right.
Review or not it's up to you.
