Author’s Note: This is NOT part of my H/Speed universe. This is show canon.
I can’t move. I can’t make my body respond, even a little. All I can do is kneel here and look down at him, lying in a pool of his own blood. His blood is on my hands and I can’t make my arms move to wipe them clean. I wish I could make my body work. I can hear voices all around me but I can’t make out who they are or what they are saying. My body refuses to listen to me. It’s like the connection to my brain has been severed, severed by the same bullet that took his life.
It’s funny the things one’s mind conjures up in this sort of situation. I keep hoping I’ll see him move, open his eyes, jump up and say, “Sorry, H. Just kidding.” But I know he won’t. Maybe that’s why I’m frozen here.
There’s a law from physics that describes my situation perfectly. All I need is a push. It’s not until Alexx touches me, I feel her hand on my back and I’m finally able to overcome the paralysis that’s overtaken me.
