We arrived at the rooftop and saw Eva standing on the edge. "Called firefighter, Reg. I tried my best to stall the time." I looked at Eva and took a deep breath.
"Lobak!" Everyone deserves a second chance. She also deserves a second chance, "I will jump!" I shook my head.
"I can't, Eva. I already have a wife!" I wiped my sweat, "listen, I'm not reversing everything, but it's all your choice!" Eva shook her head.
"I gave you chances several times, Lobak! Why don't you repay me!?" Oh, God.
"It's not about who repays who, Eva. It's about trust!" It's windy up here. "You were the one who blackmailed me several times. I changed my text style to make you happy. I tried not to be jealous, but you were the only one who caused it!" I continued, "have you ever listened to me!? Have you ever respected me a little bit!? I tried to be patient with you, but I can't stand it, Eva. I'm sorry, I can't! It's hot.
"I want to change, Lobak. Please, give me a chance." I shook my head.
"Did I leave you in your darkest time!? You left me when I needed you the most! You won't fight! You just..." I hold my tears. No, I shouldn't cry. I closed my eyes tightly. "You just said, 'this is impossible for us,' and left. You think I'm weak!?" I shook my head, "I might be sick, but I can fight for it." Eva kneel.
I wiped my sweat and took a deep breath, "It's not about you giving me a chance, and I should repay you," I approached her slowly, "It's about what you've done to me. I remembered how you said, 'I'm not the best for you,' and you were right! You not the best for me, either." Eva drowned herself and cried.
"I'm not reversing the statement, Eva, but the way you log in to my account without permission it's wrong! It's fucking wrong!" I sit in front of her. Im thirsty.
I heard a helicopter rotor in the sky. Journalists were the most annoying occupation in the world. You are a public figure, and you have the biggest scandal. They will scoop you when you step your foot on the ground. Even if you eat your lunch or dump trash in the public area, they are everywhere.
With their fancy equipment, you can't hide from them! The journalists were like a Ninja, but a low-cost and modern version. I took a deep breath, and I looked at her.
"Lobak..." She called my name, "why are you skinny?" Here we go again.
"I've been worked out. My wife wants me to look great. She's good-looking and kind," she looks at me, "Rose prohibited me from everything, but she never blackmailed me! She never said, 'if you did not obey me, we broke up,'" I shook my head. "Even when we first met, Eva," my word cut by a sirene sound.
"Lobak!? Are you okay!? Does she hurt you!?" I heard Rose's voice and smiled. I walked to the edge of the roof and gave a thumbs up. Oh God, it's too high.
I strolled backward and took a deep breath. "Do you hear Rose's voice, Eva? She was concerned," I heard a serine from a megaphone.
I looked at my feet and smiled. "Do you... remembered when you said you want me to become a bad guy?" I chuckled. "I'm the bad guy, and the other was good. Not good as I treated you, but the truth is, it was you," I put my hand inside my pocket.
"You never..." I laughed.
"You never understand my pain!?" It's lame, Eva! "I understand your pain. You lose your mom. I fucking get it!" I said. "Even I understand that you were an employee! Do you think I never have on your position before!?" I'm burping. I will get a red fishbone tattoo after this.
"We have the same problems! All humans have the same problem. All humans have the same loss, Eva. They have the same old story as yours, like mine, like the others," I stood up. It's getting hot. Oh, God.
"If you told me the same old excuse, how can I trust your words? You made me uncomfortable. You log in to my account without my permission," Eva shook her head.
"I want to protect you!" Lobak shook her head.
"Protect me, my ass!" I sarcastically laugh, "you not protecting me, but the otherwise. You destroyed me." Eva stunned. No one dares to speak.
"What you..." Eva approached me, and I strolled backward.
"What you did on Rose, it's unbelievable." I tried to dodge Eva's hug until she tripped because of her feet.
"Rose doesn't do anything with your problem. The only one who has a problem it's you, Eva. Only you," Eva cried again.
"Why did you break my heart?" Broke your heart? I'm not breaking your heart.
"You were the one who was breaking my heart. I never break anyone's heart." I said, "I will be honest with you, but you won't accept me, Eva. I have autism, but your reaction it's more devastating for me. You never..." I took a deep breath, "you said, 'if you were autistic, I'm autistic too.' You indirectly insulted me, 'if you change, you can do it.' I want to ask you, what kind of change do you want for me!?" I spread my arms aside and raised my eyebrow.
"You!" I heard SWAT slam the door and apprehend Eva.
"Lobak!?" I kneel, I look at my surroundings, and everything becomes slow. My vision starts to blur. I lay under the sun, sweating. I blinked my eyes and tried to keep myself conscious.
"Lobak, are you okay?" I grabbed Rose's hand and smiled. "Hang in there," I need a drink. I kept sweating, and I felt dizzy. Reggie dragged me to the EMS officer.
"Take a deep breath," she sat next to me, "you did a great job." I smiled at her.
