The police leave after they've collected enough information about the case. We're inside now, not daring to say a word. Katie and Jake are trying to lighten our mood, in vain.
Katie: And you're sure you don't want to eat anything, baby girl?
I just nod without looking at her. She sighs and takes a seat beside me on the bed.
Katie: You know I'm here for you, right?
She strokes my hair behind my ear gently.
Katie: I can make pancakes for you.
I chuckle quietly.
Me: Thanks, but I'm sure I won't get anything down.
Katie: It's okay, just take your time.
I receive a big smooch on the cheek.
Katie: I love you so much.
Me: I love you, too.
Watching her standing up approaching the door, I tighten my grip onto the pillow I'm holding. I turn my head to my nightstand, staring at my phone nervously.
Me: Who's gonna be next...
That bitch hasn't texted me since I fainted.
BING!
Me: What the-
I swallow anxiously.
Me: As if they knew I was waiting for it.
