Love Me in the Dark

36. Misery

KREW

Fuck. This is a fucking disaster. It suffocates me.

She wasn’t supposed to be here. What do I do now? It was fucking hard to watch her crying, surrounded by her photographs.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I think I’m gonna die.

It must have slipped my mind to lock the drawer after I kept her notes.

“You are not supposed to see that.” I was supposed to burn these photographs before I would confess, but it was too late now.

She was startled by my voice. She did not notice me as I entered my office. I was shocked to find her here too.

I just came back from my home when I realized what I did. I screwed up. No. I fucking screwed up again. She had this way of solving my mysteries. But she shouldn’t have found it this way.  She deserved an explanation. Right now, I didn't know where or how to start.

She met me with those glassy, dazed, and horror-filled gaze. “What are these? Why do you have these? Please, don’t tell me this is what I think it is?”

I pressed my lips. I blinked when my eyes started to blur and sting. I drew a deep breath and gathered all my strength, hoping my words would come out strong. “That’s what exactly it is.”

“Why?” She slumped back down. “For how long?”

“After what my brother did. I wanted to know if you’re okay.” I couldn’t tell her everything just yet.

“If I was okay? Do you really think I would believe that? Why would you watch me or check me if I was okay?”

“You became my obsession.” That one was true.

Her mouth hung open. Her eyes widened, filled with
