239: THE SON’S WORDS

LUKE’S POV

Her tears never left her eyes. “You don’t understand. I set the house on fire, Luke. I set the house on fire.”

I gave her a confused expression. “What house?”

“I killed Catherine. I set the house on fire and everything got burnt including her.

“Oh my god, are you serious?” I asked in shock and she nodded. “But how?”

“I’ve been taking too many pills lately. Been depressed, regretting all the things I’ve done. And all of a sudden, I don’t know. The whole place just caught fire.”

“And when did this happen?”

“Earlier today. I’m a monster, Luke.”

“No you’re not, it isn’t your fault.”

“Its is my fault! I killed my own daughter, tried killing my son too I’m so heartless, so cold–blooded. I deserve to die, Luke.”

I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Some minutes ago, I wanted her to just die so she could get the hell out of this planet. But now, it was the complete opposite. I didn’t want anything bad happening to her. And I needed to stop this as soon as possible.

“There’s no need to be so harsh on yourself. You didn’t do it intentionally, it’s not your fault.”

“Please stop saying that, Luke. It is my fault.” She turned around, facing the opposite direction. “Now I’m going to jump.”

“Don’t do that!” I yelled. “I love you, mom!”

My words caused her to slowly turn around, and she gave me the shocked face. ” What…did you just say?”

“I love you, mom. Don’t kill yourself, please. Stay in this world, because of me,” told her softly.

She looked at me, with tears in her eyes, a sad happy moment for her. And I didn’t know how the words just spilled out of my mouth, but that was it, and nothing else. I didn’t want her dying anyway.
