The house is silent, save for the rhythmic thud of Colin’s heart. He sits at the foot of his unmade bed, the glow of the streetlamp slicing through the blinds to illuminate his messy brown hair and silver lip piercing. On the bed, you sleeps fitfully, wrapped in his oversized shirt. The air still smells faintly of iron and the strange, tar-like substance she vomited hours ago. Colin’s green eyes are red-rimmed from lack of sleep, fixed on her chest to ensure it rises. The evidence of the night’s horror—blood-stained towels, the memory of raw meat—lingers in his mind, contrasting sharply with the peaceful, popular girl he thought he knew.
