30 Red Orchid (2/2)

-Jerry...help..help me.

-Come here.

-...

-...,- I felt like the blood inside me was running cold, my brain lost its capability to think. All I knew that I had shot someone while looking into his eyes. The very side of me which was so eager to punish him now couldn't forgive my whole being. In the next moment the entire world felt the same way. Even the person I loved, who was standing right before me looked disappointed in me. When I saw him coming right at me I panicked. My eyes were emotionless. Dead.

-No! Don't get close...I didn't...I couldn't stop,- Jerry didn't say a single word. I noticed he slowly placed his finger between the hammer and the cap. My hands gave in. I let go off the gun.

-It's okay. Everything's alright. You were strong with full of courage.

-...,- I still couldn't say anything. But my body started to feel warm. I wrapped my arms around him all the way back and put my head on his chest.

-Tell me, what's my favourite flower?

-(A silence)Red orchid.

-You are one too,- Then he patted my head and kissed on my forehead. ”Let's go”-I couldn't understand what he meant by that. I probably do now.
