Ruby
I stare at the ceiling for a long moment, a streak of tear running slowly down my temple.
Richard just left, leaving me in the silent dark, swallowed by my harsh thoughts and drowning in regret.
I didn't just kill Julia Rome's parents. I also killed her twin brother. The fact that Richard hasn't called the cops on me still baffles me.
Sometimes I wonder why I had to open my big mouth and tell him the truth. The truth that has obviously scarred him. He doesn't look like himself these days. Not the confident Richard I fell for. He now looks like a shell of himself, always angry about something. Always lost in his head. I wish I had a key to his head so I can unlock all his thoughts. All the thoughts he thinks about me. They are mostly terrible. I know that. But he came up to my doo
