Prompt 40.1
Picture prompt
Above him the thunder rolled menacingly. Rain poured down in a continuous flow. It seeped into his clothes, chilling his skin. His hair was plastered to his skull. Several wet strands dropped in front of his eyes but he did nothing to push them away.
The wet, the cold. None of it phased Peter. All he could feel inside him was rage and hurt boiling together inside him. Nathan’s voice echoed in his mind: What I’ve kept from the press is that Peter barely survived a suicide attempt. Over and over again. Suicide attempt. Suicide attempt.
How could Nathan do this to him? In front of friends and the press, no less! Suicide attempt. Suicide attempt. The words pounded down on him hard like the rain.
The rain suddenly stopped. Peter glanced up and noticed an umbrella shielding him. Simone’s hand held the umbrella handle. Seeing her made Peter suddenly aware of how wet and cold he felt.
He was hurt; he needed her, and Peter could almost swear he felt the same need from her. Suicide attempt. Suicide attempt. No, Peter insisted. That’s not me.
“I know,” Simone said.
