𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 , the world she knew shattered like fragile glass . the dried blood on her hands , seeped into her perfectly manicured nails . streaks of mascara stained the apples of her cheeks , leaving dark rivers against smooth skin ." I — I don't know what happened . " she stammered. " I didn't mean to — to kill him . but he wouldn't stop and — " each word was a struggle , like trying to wade through quicksand . ,. her mind was jumbled with thoughts , and the sound of the gun ringing like a non stop echo . the only place she knew to go was to the one person she trusted more than anything . " I don't know if I should have come here , cal . but I ... I didn't know what else to do . " | @blvshed
