“Tobias holds his gun out from his left shoulder.
“Eric,” he says, “be brave.”
He squeezes the trigger.
I shut my eyes.”
‘What did you do?’ I scream.
’You die, i die too.’ Tobias looks over his shoulder at me. ‘I asked you not to do this. You made your decision. These are the repercussions.’
“I think that you are the liar!” I say, my voice quaking. “You tell me you love me, you trust me, you think I’m more perceptive than the average person. And the first second that belief in my perceptiveness, that trust, that love is put to the test, it all falls apart.” I am crying now, but I am not ashamed of the tears shining on my cheeks or the thickness of my voice. “So you must have lied when you told me all those things… you must have, because I can’t believe your love is really that feeble.”
