I stop and turn around to see who said that. It's my ex Dana. I roll my eyes and smirk. She wasn't the dramatic type. "Well how about you pay me back that hundred ? " and take a sip out of my coffee.
" I was expecting more " she says and after looking through her purse gives me the money.
"Yeah an apology would be nice " I say pocketing the money. Whats up with her ? We haven't talked in 5 years. We meet regularly but we just ignore each other
" I apologize, on behalf of this one and all women that hurt you"
"Still a fake bitch " I say and turn and walk away. I waited so long for something, an apology, anything. I turn away mostly because my eyes got wet a bit. I will not give her the satisfaction.
I throw my coffee cup and lit up a cig. What s wrong with her, is it a joke to her. I moved on anyway. My house is close by unfortunately, that's why I bump into her all the time. I go to the door and open it. I turn around towards the street and I see her. She followed me home.
I get this shiver down my spine. The way she sits with the streetlight behind her back, her shadow stretching towards me sorta flickering.
Before I say anything she opens her mouth. It's a screeching sound like a metal piano played with scissors instead of fingers, like her hole body is hollow and she's connected to a hell below us. It says the same thing, she's my Guardian Demon and she will help me get back on my feet.
This time I don't think it's a joke.
"Well come back in a year, we'll talk more then" I say faking a brave smile. She disappears straight into the ground like a curtain drop.
I turn, get inside lock it and watch through the peephole. I'm scared. I look around the house I grab a hammer and sit in the dark on the sofa listening.
It's all so quiet, this gonna be a slow night. Hell,a slow year. I fall asleep drinking. I'll feel better in the morning. Fucking Dana
