"Kate, where have you been?"
"does it matter, mother?
"it does!
"do you really think I killed him?"
"I don't think so, I just want you to tell me."
"I don't remember anything.
-Kate.
"I'm going to my room."
"I'll stay with her, if you don't mind," Meth said to his mother.
"you shouldn't," I said.
"I think it's a good idea," my mother said.
Did she really think I was a murderer?
The head feels like it's in a different place. The stairs leading to my room seem endless.
I hear voices, conversations, but they seem to be beyond my consciousness, all in a vacuum. Good ability to escape from reality. It is a pity that it comes at such a price.
Meth's embrace brought me to my senses.
"Kate, I missed you so much, I was so scared for you," he says, hugging me as hard as he can.
"Meth, it hurts.
"I'm sorry," Meth says, releasing me.
All of a sudden he kissed me. His burning lips made goosebumps appear all over his body.
A note of disgust rose in her throat.
"what are you doing?"! I pushed Meta away.
"I'm sorry, Kate, I can't go on without you, I don't know what came over me, I'm sorry.
Did he really do it at such a moment?
Did he just take advantage of my father's death?.
"Kat, I know it's not your fault. Did that Alan do it? Was that him you were with just now?
"Alan didn't kill me, he saved me.
"so you were with him, and he'll answer for everything."
"Meth, what is it?"! I told you, he helped.
"did he accidentally drug you?" And don't even tell me that nothing unusual happened.
What? And if he was right, and I wasn't in any other dimension.
"no, Meth, it can't be," the tears came again. The moisture was already burning around his eyes.
"calm down, Kate, I'm here to help you," he said.
"can you help me?"
"Yes, Kate, we've agreed with the therapist, so it's better that way.
"what does that mean?"
"that means you will have a conversation with her tomorrow, and if she sees fit, you will go away for a while to recover."
For recovery?! Is that what we already call going to the psych ward?!
"I'm all right!"
"I know, Kate, don't worry.
"let me go!"
-calm.
Tomorrow. It's so soon... we must think of something urgently. I must not let this happen, I am not mad.
Panic literally took over my mind.
"all right, Meth, I agree, and now I need to sleep.
"great, Kate. And don't forget to pack everything you need, and I'll drive you in the morning."
"see you later," I said, ushering Meta out the door.
I hope it looked plausible. Everything you need? This advice was, of course, what was needed.
Without hesitation, I picked up the phone, my search stopped on Alan.
"Alan, hi, help me get out of town, please.»
"What happened?»
"No questions, please»
"All right, be ready at midnight tonight»
That's all. My life changed in just a couple of weeks. Until recently, my only problem was passing my exams and going to University. What now? Introduction to the titans. The murder of his father. A charge of murder and insanity. Escape from the house.
In any case, the old me is no longer there. And I give you my word that I will take my revenge. I will avenge everything.
