[Zhang Wei] Quo held me tight as I cried into her arms. She was always there to comfort me, even when I had done something so terrible as this. "Shhh, you'll be fine… you'll be fine." I wanted to lay in her comfortable arms, listening to her mellifluous voice forever.
"Stay with me please!" I pleaded to Quo.
"I'll see what I can do," she handed me some home made food, much better than the earlier food. "For now at least, take this food, it's bound to be better than anything around here." Quo gave me a quick peck on the forehead before turning to leave. "I love you Zhang, that won't change." She walked out the hallway and the doors shut behind her.
I looked down at the food in my lap, it's nice aroma drawing me to it. Yet despite how much I wanted to eat it all I could do was cry. How could Quo be so good to me when all I do is let her down? I lay on the floor crying still.
It took a bit, but eventually I mustered the strength to sit up and wipe the tears from my face. I opened the food, it was a warm chicken pot pie. I tried to eat it, but I was so depressed that half of it just fell from my mouth as I chewed. It felt as though there was nothing I could do.
It was about this time that Quo came back, with Jaku this time. My cell door opened and Quo entered. "Okay, I'll come back to let you out when you message me." Jaku closed the cell door and left. Now it was just me and Quo. "..." It was awkward, like back when we first met. She sat next to me and pulled me tight. My face flushed as I leaned into her embrace. It was silent but the awkward atmosphere was fading. Eventually I lay down on her lap. I hugged her waist, pressing my face into her stomach. At first she flinched back in surprise but then she just smiled and patted my head. Once again my tears slowly started up again. This time Quo didn't have any comforting words for me. Instead rather than just making the tears go away for now, she went for the source of the problem.
She grabbed my arms and moved them from her waist, picking me up to look into her hazel eyes. "Tell me, what's going on?"
Of course it was obvious "You kn-know, I- I killed him…"
"Ahn, I suppose you did"
"D-don't you hate me now?"
"My sweetheart, how could I ever hate you? You're the one I love the most."
"Nrgg…" I just hugged her and continued crying, my larger physique forcing her down. I just lay on top of her crying. Eventually.she pushed me off, and curled up by my side. Like this we drifted off to sleep.
