The Fountain: Chapter Four

 Matt’s hand flew to his cheek which had already turned red. “How was I supposed to know!”

“You. Son of a bitch!” I screamed. 

“Andy, calm down.” Matt said softly. 

“DO NOT tell me to calm down.” I said, my voice rising even more. “You turned me into a woman!” I shouted.
