I felt even guiltier then I did before. I ruined Nadia's birthday for this bullshit and I had no one to blame but myself.
I hate my self for being so damn nice and fucking gullible. I just couldn't leave this shit alone. I couldn't let Ruby die even if she was not all there in the head—I just didn't want her taking the easy way out.
I valued life so much that I just couldn't let her die knowing there was a way I could help. She no longer wanted to live and her final fuck you was to have me watch her do it. She blamed me for everything and I took that blame as her last words echoed in my head.
Standing in the shower, I washed the remnants of her blood away scrubbing my skin raw.

I raced towards the address that Detective Rios sent over hoping I wasn't too late.
Ruby and I had our fling, but I didn't think the girl would become obsessed with me. I couldn't let her die knowing I could do something and that by doing so she could get the help she needs.
I remember the Ruby before all this happened. She was fun loving—partied quite a bit, kind, motivated. I could've saw myself with her, but that wasn't what I wanted. Did I cut her off a bit too harshly? Probably. Thinking back to that night, I couldn't help but that that maybe that was what triggered her.
Was she always crazy? Did I make her crazy?
These are the questions I ask myself as I was held up in busy traffic.

"You did it?" Tev asked me as he drank his beer
We were all sitting around Chris' place chilling as we watched the NFL draft.
"Yeah I sent her a text" I said putting my phone down. I was not about to face her knowing she's dramatic as hell and I wasn't with the crying bullshit.
"A text?! Damn, you foul! That's some shit I would do, I've taught you well" Chris laughed as he patted my back
"Man get off me" I laughed as I shrugged him off my shoulder "ain't nobody tryna get like you, I just rather not deal with her again"
"What she do?" Tev asked chuckling
"She told me she loved me while we were having sex" I said shaking my head in amusement as I took a sip of my beer "don't get me wrong she's a nice girl but I wasn't in it for all that. I should've broke it off a while ago I knew her ass was getting a little too clingy"
