Keith x Sarah ~ Everything Comes to an End ~
Inspired by SandBlast - Fox Stevenson
I arrived at Sarah's house and knocked. Her mom opened the door and welcomed me in. Sarah appeared in the back but didn't smile when seeing me walk in.
"Hi," I smiled.
"Follow me," she said, taking my hand. She led me to her room and when there, she closed the door.
"Sit," she ordered.
I sat on her bed. She sat next to me, but never made eye contact. She had a worried look on her face as she was staring into the void.
"Is everything alright?" I asked.
"Keith," she said as her eyes met with mine.
"Yea?"
"Have you ever lied to me?" She asked.
"No, I haven't, ever," I answered with confidence mixed with confusion. "Why?"
"Would you ever lie to me?" She continued.
I reached out and took her soft, small hand. I caressed it and said, "You know I love you, right?"
"Of course I do Keith, but..." she paused. "I feel like there's something I don't know, something you don't want me to know."
"You don't think I cheat—"
"No, of course not. I know you'd never do that," she interrupted. "I was talking about... what you do."
Holy shit. How the hell does she know?
I looked at her in disbelief, "How do you—"
She interrupted me again, "Everytime you leave my house, and you tell me you have to go to work, I always wonder where you go. Everytime I see you with those scratches and bruises on your arms and legs, I wonder," she paused, "I wonder if what you do is legal."
I let go of her hand and looked away. "What I do is... none of your business," I told her, giving her a cold shoulder.
"Why don't you want to tell me?"
"I don't want you to get involved, Sarah. No, what I do is not legal, and things that aren't legal usally aren't safe. I don't want you to get hurt, I don't want to lose you," I calmly answered.
"That's not how our relationship is supposed to be. We're supposed to trust eachother and not keep secrets from eachother."
"You don't need to know about what I do, just forget about it."
"Forget about it? You go out there at the risk of getting killed! I don't want you dead, Keith!" She yelled.
"Just let it go Sarah! Forget about it!" I yelled back.
"Then forget about us! We're done..." she said, looking away.
No...
"Sarah..." I said softly.
"No, get out," she ordered as she started tearing up.
"But—"
"No! Get out of my house! Don't ever speak to me again!" She emotionally yelled.
Once home, I locked myself in my room. I yelled in anger, punching through the wall.
I lost her, this can't possibly be...
Oh,
We hit a bump in the road again,
Now I'm working out just what it meant.
...
At last,
Everything does come to an end.
To be continued...
