“What again?”

“Did I just hear you say that you had seen that somewhere?” he asked to be sure, and this time, his voice was way calmer.

I answered that he heard me right, and he rushed up to me to ask where I saw the tattoo and I realized that it must have been what he and Bojana were talking about the other day. Since I was also petty on my own end, I didn’t want to release the information to him easily.

“Apologize for telling them to throw me out first”, I blurted out, and the sounds of guns cocking filled the air.

They all aimed their guns at me for my statement, but I wasn’t fazed at all. They should have learned that I wasn’t afraid of guns at that point. I didn’t hesitate to turn back to the door after telling him that he was not ready to hear anything if he couldn't apologize. As I held the door’s handle, the cold mouth of Bojana’s gun kissed my temple and a sigh dropped from me.

Before she could blink, the gun was already in my hands. I was tired of her tantrums and rudeness.
