“we had been so d*mn late”

i hated it i hated every thing.

this wasn’t presupposed to occur. they had been breaking the rules-

however had been they?

they despatched the message earlier than the homicide. they gave the sufferer’s identify, date, and crime scene.

and even when they did not comply with the foundations i ought to have been ready for that

i do not need anybody to die due to me. not once more.

i ran in the direction of the constructing solely to be pulled again by max

“what are you doing?” he requested wanting extraordinarily apprehensive as he held my hand

“i must get to the roof” i stated attempting to tug out of max grasp

“perhaps he’s nonetheless alive-” i continued rambling earlier than max minimize in

“i’m not letting you run right into a burning constructing!”

“its my job” i stated defending myself

“no its not” he stated me with unshed tears

“we had been late” he stated and one way or the other he seemed extra unhappy than earlier than or responsible i could not inform

“we- i’ve to go even when there’s a chance-”

“i’m not going to allow you to get killed for a small likelihood,” he stated boldly. he seemed sturdy regardless that he was seconds from breaking down

“i’m not going sit by doing nothing,” i stated as i lastly broke free. i ran.

however inside seconds every thing got here tumbling down and i used to be on the bottom with my palms held collectively on my again by max.

” i’m sorry” he whispered. i wasn’t certain if he meant me to her that.

at this level, he had begun crying softly. tears working down his face.

“i’m sorry however i am unable to lose you too” he stated between quiet sobs.

that was what lastly broke me. i now not wished to run into the constructing.

…

…

alright! i nonetheless need to run into that constructing however rather less now.

we had each misplaced folks we had cared about and one other loss of life may simply break us.

and but right here we’re just a few toes away from a burning constructing.

i’m wondering who’s extra depressing.

the one who has to sit down and probably let an individual die or the one who’s crying his eyes out as a result of he would not need to lose anybody anymore.
