peter richards 

he woke up with his phone vibrating. 

his eyes sprang open and there it was

an unknown caller trying to disturb the 

midnight hour.

he ignored and pressed the red but-

ton and he shut his eyes once more.

then, his phone vibrated again. this

time he accepted it.

"what do you want?"

"i'm sorry."

"what?"

"i said i'm sorry, peter."

"are you trying to bring me back 

to your aid, elaine?" oh no, it was

his dear nightmare.

"i'm really sorry for being an idiot

for being the most sad person

that ever made you think i was a 

psycho." 

"you're no psycho."

"yes i am. don't you think i love

the idea of being hurt? i love

it. peter?"

"yes?"

"i tried self-harm and i loved

it. maybe i'd show you the 

scars but i'm already a 

psycho. you hate a psycho."

"stop it elaine. stop what

you are doing, you're being

so stupid. stop it."

"you hate me. admit it."

"i did hate you."

"regret what you said. regret

saying 'did' because it's 

making me cry."

"cry for what?"

"cry for actually throwing myself

for love, peter. i love you."
