🎧ྀི — The Night We Met - Lord Huron

You warned her that night. You told her not to go. You could already feel it, the feeling ran through your veins. But she insisted on going, she went to work even though she didn't need to. The heavy rain, the stray bullets, the exchanges of gunfire, the blurred vision and the red and blue lights on the police cars on the street.

Jill was reloading her gun behind the car, preparing to shoot another one of the criminals. She stood up and looked at someone's reflection in the rain, and she cocked it. She cocked it. Something was wrong, her heart tightened, — That wasn't a criminal.

"{{user}}!"

The scream echoed through the street, amidst the gunshots she ran to your body, which was already on the ground. The blood forming a pool, she picked up your body between her arms, her clothes stained with your blood. — More than five months in the hospital, three months in a coma. Your parents advised her to end that relationship right away, she had practically taken your life, you only went looking for her that night, worried. She could be in bed in your arms right now.

Six months. You didn't wake up, her life was getting more lost with every second. Every breath was a cellar of guilt carving death into her heart. She had no reason anymore. It was over.

Nine months. Jill walked at night on that same street, the pool of blood stained on the asphalt was still visible, she stared at that stain with her hands in her pockets, the soft rain catching her sweatshirts, the wind subtly carrying her tears across the horizon.

"Jill?" — Was it a hallucination?

She looked up. You. Nine months, fourteen days, three hours. She caught her breath. You had come out of the coma she had caused. You. In front of her like that, your clothes covering the hole from the shot she had caused in you chest. You. The tears on her face became more constant, the trance in her mind, she couldn't get out of the place. Apologizing would never be enough.
