He told me the day he met me he should kill us

Maybe he’s finally ood on that statement

I pull et as far away as possible My phone rings as I coast down the highway, the caller ID reading Gio I swipe to decline the call

It rang again Again and again, he calls me, but not one word from Johnny

I steer the Ca lot, stumble up the stairs, and finally slam the door behind me

I sink to the floor and let everything out

I let all of the e off my cheek and down my neck I let it all out Then I vow to myself, that I am absolutely done with Gio DelGado

I check ns of life fro in my locker at work The only reason it’s still on is in case Johnny contacts me, but I can’t stand to be around it Gio calls and texts non-stop He sent Charlie to ht The kid pounded onoutside instead

I had to watch for hiet to work I’ my door down

This is what I get for falling in love with a criminal

I feel heavy

Heavy with regret

Heavy with grief

Heavy with fear

I’m terrified It's been twenty four hours and I still don’t knohere Johnny is The halls of the nursing ho out to the patio that overlooks a sather here Most of them are nosy and would rather sit in the hallways or the tv rooossip It makes this a nice escape for me to catch my breath
